WAR NEWS.
The Battles in Virginia.

We continue from our last paper a
brief summary of the news of the sew
eral battles fought by our Union ar
mics We are obliged to condense
the news from several sources much to
our regret.
On Saturday, May 18th there was
only light diminishing, and our army
did not follow the enemy till towards
evening. 1t was now found that the
enemy had merely changed their po-
sition, and were in line in strong po-
sition this side of Spottsylvania Court
House, some twenty miles south of the
Rapidan. The retreat, if it can be so
called, had not been attended with
panic, but was orderly and successful,
and was no doubt in accordance with
the plan of Lee if he failed to drive
our army back at the first onset. The
Fredericksburg route to Richmond is
across half dozen rivers and affords
many naturally strong positions, which
have been fortified for Just such cam
paign as is now in progress, and when
Lee reached the Pc river he may be
said to have got behind series of for
tifcations reaching all the way to
Richmond. Our advance was neces-
sarily slow from the nature of the
country and the necessity of protect
ing the army trains from flank move
ments of the rebels. On Sunday and
Monday there was considerable severe
skirmishing, in some cases rising to
the dignity of small battles, and We
won no rod of ground that did not
cost us heavily In the afternoon OF
Tuesday the enemy made fierce on
slaught on the extreme right, held by
Gen. Hancock's division, but were re-
pulsed and followed with great slaugh-
ter. Near night there was general
battle Our army made grand as
sault and drove the enemy from the
first line of their works, capturing M
entire rebel brigade and many stand,
Of colors. The battle continued til
evening, and was the most terrible We
fought Our losses were greater thar
on any previous day, and our entir,
losses for the week are estimated Il
high as forty thousand If this is no
greatly in excess of the truth, it is evi
dent that we shall need a great man,
more men to fight through to Rich
mond in this style. There seems t,
have been as yet no strategy and no at
tempt at it, nothing but hard fghtin;
face to face with the enemy in the pc
sitions they had before selected an,
fortified. In the number of prison
ers taken we have largely the adyan
tage but in killed and wounded it i
almost impossible that we should no
: have suffered most Having nearl,
: twice the numbers of the enemy at tn
| start, we can hold out longest in thi
mutual slaughter, if there is no othe
: way to reach the end. The prospec
is fearful at the best, but there is We
: no reason for misgiying as to the ter
I mination of the deadly struggle.

HEADQUARTERS BERMUDA LANDING.
May 9th, 1864

10 4. II. Stanton, Secretary # Tar:
Our operations may be summed up
in a-few words. With 100 cavalry
we have advanced up the Peninsula,
forced the Chicahominy and have safe
ly brought them to our position These
were colored cavalry and are now hold
ing our advance pickets toward Rich
mond.
Gen. Kautz, with 5000 cavalry
from Suffolk, on the same day with
our movement up the James river,
forced the Black water, burnt the rail
road bridge at Stony Greek, below
Petersburg, cutting in two Beaure-
CARDS forces at that point.
We have landed here, entrenched
ourselves, got many miles of railroad
and got a position which, with proper
supplies. we can hold against the
whole of Lees army. l have ordered
up the supplies.
Beauregard with large portion Of
his command was left south of the cut
ting of the railroad by Kautz. That
portion which reached Petersburg un.
der Hill have whipped to-day, killing
and woumding many and taking many
prisoners, after severe and well con
tested fight

During last night Gen. Hancock's
corps abandoned his position on the
right of our line and moved to the rear
Of the centre and now forms the re-

artillery fire was begun from Warren 5

The enemy replied, causing few cas-

There is no prospect of any serious

last evening, but the sky is again over

The Grand Jury of April Term, 1864,
respectfully report to your Honor, thatw we.
visited the Jail of the county, on ,he Goth
inst. The building Is Of such vaull-like
construction--dificult to ventilate and
keep clean and comfortable--th we did
not expect to find the prisoners enjoying
all the comforts we think they are entihed
to before being found guilty. We bear
testimony, from what we saw, to the dill.
gence and care Of the Sheriff to make the
condition Of the inmates asa pheasant and
clean as their various conditions and
charges and construction Of the building
will allow. taes. r
We find confined at this time thirteen:
five for misdemeanor--one white and four
colored; five for insanity--four white..and
one colored one for safe keeping, and
two deserters from the army. ~ ~
We wish also to state, the building is
in dangerous condition for the inmates.
The floor or ceiling is made! Of timber logs,
that are now rotten, aud have sunk so
much as to leave some Of the partitions
loose, and the whole inside in danger Of
falling to the ground. We recommend
that the whole interior be taken down, be-
fore it falls, and the building be remodel

TNHE subscribers are now building new Tread
j Power, one Of their own Improvement, which
they have tested in connection with their com
biued Thresher and Cleaner, and would say to
the public abroad that they eannow furnish o
more complete Two-horse Power and Thresher,
than has ever before been offered. The Power
is SO geared that IL runs with very slow step
for the horses, and needs but little elevation TO
give motion to the Thresher and Cleaner. r.
The Power and Winnower is connected by one
straight belt, running it as an Overshot Machine,
making il an improvement over the Undershot
one, by its not being so liable TO carry through
stones, sticks &C., that may be gathered up with
the grain. No other combined Thresher and
Winnower is SO simple, and easily put into oper-
alton. Its extreme width is 8 feet !; length II
feet height 5 feet; and weighs about 500
pounds. The Thresher, Rake Separator and
Winnower, are arranged in one strong frame, SO
that the machine is shipped in one piece, and
moved when set for use without. being taken
apart. The Revolving Rake is so arranged that
as the grain is fed in and passed from the cyln-
der, 1t divides the straw from the grain and car
ries it through and over Separator or Shaker,
obviating great difficulty that other Winnow-
are liable to, in carrying over grain with tho
straw, which has heretofore been SO much COM
planned of. ..s. 49,
With two medium sized horses or mules, they
will both thresh and clean, and in such manner
that the common Tanning MIL is dispensed with
entirely two men and two boys will thresh and
bag $50 10 lis bushels OF wheat or 300 bushels
of oats per day, with ease. assg4
There are two sizes of these machines. The
large size, or No. /, is generally run by lever
power. Either of these machines can be run with
any lever power. The No. Machine, with 2
or horses to a lever power with G or hands
will thresh and bag 200 to 225 bushels of wheat
per day, ready for market. These machines are
warranted to give satisfaction.
