THE GREAT MOVEMENTS IN PROGRESS.

Gen Hooker succeeded perfectly in his
preliminary movements, by which he has
compelled the enemy to come out of their
intrenchments and fight him in the real
of Fredericksburg. After the failure Of
Gen. Stoneman to reach Gordonsville, a
fortnight ago, the rebels seem to have an.
ticipated the main attack in the other di.
rection, on the right wing below Freder.
icksburg, and to have strengthened them
selves there accordingly. Gen. Hooker
feints at Port Royal confirmed that opin-
ion, and thus the path across the Kappa
hanock and the Rapidan by the upper
fords was left comparatively unguarded.
Our troops met with so little opposition
on that route as to lead to suspicion
that the rebels were seducing them into a
trap The consequence of this flank
movement has been to compel the rebels
to leave their cntrenched positions in the
rear of Fredericksburg and 60 out to fight
Gen. Hooker where he is. This gave our
left wing the opportunity to occupy Fred
erlcksburg and the abandoned positions
beyond, which they did on Saturday and
Sunday without much or severe fighting.
At the same time the great battle was
going on near Charlottesville, about ten
miles beyond Fredericksburg, from which
we have rumors of heavy fighting and
great successes on our side, but nothing
definite as yet. The relative position is
such that defeat for either army is des-
truction, and we await each hours dis
patches with the most intense anxiety.
At the West our forces are successfully
breaking the railroad connections of the
enemy, preparatory to decisive attacks on
their strongbolds. In Mississippi Col.
Grierson has penetrated as far south as
Mayhem, eighteen miles from Columbus.
destroying bridges and depots on the route
and twenty miles of the Mississippi Cen
trail railroad have been torn up. 1t needs
but little if any further progress by this
expedition to sever Vicksburg from the
East, as its western connections have
been broken by our fleet on the Missis-
sippi. Zen. Grants army is at New
Carthage, below Vicksburg, and either by
strategy or direct assault, the loss of

RELIGION IN JOHNSON.

Our people are church gong people
and like most New England towns res
pect generally, religious things; but dur,
ing the last fall and early part of winter
there seemed more than usual religion.
interest pervading the community. The
members of the Baptist church, seeing
this, and feeling the necessity of more
effort on the part of Christians, obtained
the services of Rev. Mr.. Peacock, an evan.
gelist. under whose charge series Of
meetings were commenced in the begin
ing of the month of February. These
meetings were held in the afternoon and
evening of each day. The preaching,
which was done by the evangelist, though
not brilliant nor striking, was good and
practical, showinga knowledge of human
nature.
Before and after the sermon of each
day and evening an opportunity was given
for prayer aud remarks on the part of
those assembled. II was deeply inter-
esting sight, Christians of all denomina-
tions were there, and many others who
felt no personal interest in the Saviour,
and a deep carnestness pervaded the whole.
The prayers and remarks showed a set
tied conviction of the need of deeper
work of grace, and of the danger Of those
who had no interest in Christ.
After a few days an invitation was
given to any that might wish for prayer
to arise At first few accepted that in
vitation, but the number steadily increased
until forty were seen to have arisen at
one time.
From the first the interest seemed to
increase, as time passed on Christians
lost none of their solicitude and those
who obtained hopes added their entreat-
les that their friends would come to Jesus
and many became anxious for themselves
saying "pray for u.s.
Since the discontinuance of the meet.
ing which lasted for seven weeks, even
ing meetings have been held in the YES
tries Of the different churches, alternate
ly and are sustained with much interest
and we'll attended.
Numbers of those who have been ex-
amined, refer to a religious interest in
their minds prior to these meetings. The
figure used by Mr.. Peacock seemed APP
propriatc "Of the many blows dealt to
the tree by the axe man, the last brought
it down. SO, to drop the figure, the pur-
pose of these converts to confess Christ be-
fore men was fixed at this meeting.
All seem to set out in their christian
career with full determination, through
Christ strengthening them, to follow him
he leads.
Some of these have made public pro-
fession of religion, some q do not know
how many, were received into the Meth
odist church. Eight or nine were re-
,eived into full communion in the Bap-
list church and others, l think, have
been propounded for admission. OF the
fourteen received, by profession, into the
Congregational church, at its last CON-
nunion, l think, all but two have been
brought to fix their Christian purpose
through these meetings.
Besides these there are several who
nave, as yet, united with no church, who
will probably do SO, in due time.
May the little light, which has been
iindled here, burn on brightly until all
he people of this town by its glow, may
lee the way to God, and walk in that
way. a..

METAL-TIpPED SHoEs.-Shoes are an
important item in the expense of clothing
children, as every parent will understand.
They invariably wear out their shoes at
the toe first, and not unfrequently before
the other parts are quarter worn. Chill.
dren's shoes with Metal tips never wear
out at the toe, and it is safe to say that
on an average one pair with them will
more than.outwear three pairs without
them. We believe all the shoe dealers
keep them.--- Boston Journal.

 The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it. inventors have ad- vantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by, ifnot immeasurably superior to. any which can be offered them elsewhere. The Testimo- nials given below prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE, than the subscriber: and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABlIr ITY, he would add that he has abundant req son to believe. and can prove, that at no oth- CT office of the kind are the charges for pro- fessional services 50 moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past. has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decis- ions relative to Patents.
 These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Flu rope, render him able beyond question, to of- fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents. All necessity of journey to Washington, to procure patent, and the usual great de lay there, are here saved inventors.
