The news from the front is of unusual
interest Gen Grants forces crossed the
Rapidan on Tuesday night of last week,
and on Thursday and Friday there was
hard fighting. Our last accounts are ia
yorable TO the Union cause-Gen. Grant
holding the ground, while the rebels had
fallen back, leaving their killed and
wounded in our hands. Lees entire army
made repeated assaults with the intention
of breaking our lines, but was driven back
with great slaughter The entire forces
of the two eontending armies are engaged
in the struggle, and thus far the news in
dieates great advantage on the side of the
Union Bntler is reported at Petersburg,
south of Richmond, and the prospect is
fair for the fall of the rebel Capital this
time. The losses in killed and wounded
can hardly yet be aseertained, though
they are large on both sides-reported
from 5000 to 10000 on our side, and Il
larger number of rebels.
Sherman's and Washburn's armies are
also on the move from Chattanooga and
Memphis. A few days viii Witness i'm

Memphis dates of Monday.

Alaxaudria on Red River, on the 24th

General Banks forces were IN that town
and the rest were but a short distance off.
The rebels followed from Grand Ecore,
keeping at "A safe distance. When near
Cane river, they pressed up closely, but
were Handsomely repulsed by Gen. Frank

AIexandira is we'll fortified, and the
troops are busily engaged in making ad-

spirits and anxious for the rebels to make
an attack. but II is thought Kirby Smith
would no5 risk an attack on the place,
even with his numerical superiority.
Part of our feet had arrived at Alexan,
dria when the Brown left, and the rest
were on their way down. Several OF the
boats got aground on their way down. and

but they were all got of safely.

The little steamer Benefit, when about
eighty miles above Grand Ecore, was fred

and large force of infantry killing the
Captain and two others, and wounding one

Death of T.. L. CarSon.

We copy the following obituary notice
of + B. Carson, formerly OF this place,
from a Placervine, (Cal.) paper. Many of
our citizens VIII sympathize deeply with
the afflicted friends of Mr.. c., whose death
took place at Placerville, California, in
November last
"The sudden death of f. B. Carson cast
a gloom over our community, such as Is
rarely witnessed The deceased was one
our Oldest citizens, has been all the time
during his residence identified with public
life, and possessing genial and compass
sionable disposition, had won to himself
the hearts of his associates and acqualnt-
cnees. In the great number and variety
on Offices of public trust he has held, he
has retained a reputation for honesty and
uprightness unsullied by an insinuation,
ever, from political opponents.
Mr. Carson was born IN winchester, Nlr-
ginia. His early manhood was spent in
Wisconsin, and at the time of the admls-
sion of that state into the Union, he en-
tered public life there as United States
Marshall for that District. He came over
land to California in 1850, since which
time he has been q constant resident OF
this county, and been honored with many
positions of profit and responsibility,
In 1854 he was one of the Associate
Justices for this county; in 1880 he was
elected Sheriff; in 1861 ne was appointed
Under-sheriff, which position be contin-
ued to fill until few weeks previous TO
his death, when he was appointed Deputy
Provost Marshal for this Enrolment Dis
trict. In the discharge of the responsible
! duties deyolying upon hIm IN ali taese po-
sitions, he appeared ever to be actCatcd by
principle, and although st times called
! upon to use the strong power OF the law,
| his acts were ever tempered with quality
| of Iacrcv that won for him the esteem of
even those against whom duty required
/ hil. to act Few men could DC taken from
! us whose loss would be more generally
! felt end none who would leave truer
| friends TO mourn their departure, and en-
deayor to cheer a heart broken wife over
her irreparable loss.
The wish Of every heart viii be that He
whose ways are past finding out may
temper the wind u the home made
cheerless by the sudden removal Of an at
| fectionate husband and parent
