KEEPING UP THE ARMIEs--In the recent de-
bate in Congress on the Communication clause of
the draft bill, Mr.. Wilson, in abiding to the eff
forts of the Government to keep UP the armies
in the field mentions some important facts, which
are given in the full report of the Congressional
proceedings published in the Washington Globe.
He said since October II, 1868, the Government
has put 700, 900 men in the field, one hundred
thousand of which colored troops, that $685.
600, 900 have been spent in bounties and that up
to June s, forty-eight Thousand men have been
sent to reinforce Grant since he has crossed the
Rapidan. Senator Wilson said no nation in his
tory has ever made such tremendous exertions
as the people of the loyal States to supply men
and money to the Government.

has long been a favorite resort of treason and
it's sympathizers in our city. The intercepted
correspondence last year of prominent rebels
burrowing here showed that they believed they
were serving their master, JEFF. Davis, as much
by forcing up the price of gold in our market as
they could by leading his regiments in Virginia.
Congress, by the new gold act, has struck them
telling blow, and they writhe and foam madly
in consequences. Their craft is in danger of
worse, and they are making desperate efforts to
wreck the credit and finances of the Union, in
order at once to glut their rapacity and secure
the triumph of the shareholders rebellion. Such
is the essential impulse to the spasmodic and
convulsive exaggeraton of the premium ON
gold during the last few days. a ''"o e'iIafit o.:

Sketch Of Petersburg.


Petersburg, which is an exceedingly hand
some and fiourishing post town, as well as port
of entry, of Dnwiddie county, Virginia, is situa-
ted on the right south bank of the Appom-
attox river, at the crossing of the great South
ern Railroad at distance of twenty-five miles
south of Richmond and ten miles from James
river at City Point in latitude $40 IA north long
tude TO 20 west. In respect to population and
and commercial advantages, with facilities for
rapidly increasing business it ranks as the third
town in Virginia. = 5s @e'
The town displays much architectural tastes
in the manner in which it is built, and also pos
sesses several important public buildings 1t
contains numerous churches, in which several
denominations are represented, viz; Two of the
Methodist, two of the Episcopalian, two of the
Presbyterian, one of the Baptist, one ofthe Catho
lie, besides other places of worship, principally
for colored people. With these it has number
of cotton factories, three banks, two ropewalks,
one wooden factory, one iron furnace, and mills
for almost every purpose of trade. IT has also
educational establishments and, before the
siege of the place, published three newspapers.
The borough limits extend as far as the decayed
village of Blandford, in Prince George county,
which is stated to have been superior in many
respects to Petersburg, which has grown up as
it were, alongside of it, Among the exceeding
ly interesting and pleasingy picturesqe ruins
scattered over Virginia. the remains of Bland
fOrd's once imposing church attract the attention
of the traveller. A destructive conf.lgration oc-
Cured here in 1915, by which vast deal ofprop-
erty, including four hundred houses, was con-
sumed.
There is unlimited water power about Peters
burg, as the cent of the tide, becoming arrest
ed by the falls directly above the town, affords
extensive supply. Some enterprise has also been
manifested by. the construction of canal around
the falls, by which boats of light draught
ascend the river for distance of nearly one
hundred miles. The town can be approached by
vessels of one hundred tons ascending the river,
while those of a larger size are Obliged to dis
charge at Waltham's Landing, about six miles
miles below where the South Side railroad has
its eastern terminus, connected by the Appomat-
tOx Railroad with the mouth of the river and
City Point, where vessels of large size are chiefly
discharged. Some idea may be formed of it's
trade and industrial resources from the fact that
ten thousand to fifteen thousand hogsheads of to-
bacco are exported annually
The population of the place is about sixteen
thousand.
