GREAT WINE YEAR IN FRANCE
Foreign papers say that nothing can be
more magnificent than the vintage this
year in all parts of France. In the wine
districts there is a superabundance of
grapes. The proprietors of vineyards are
actually puzzled to know what to do, their
usua supply of casks having long been
filed.

WAR NEWS.

We have no news of Importance directly from
the Army of the Potomac. A report was cur
rent in Richmond toward the close of last week.
that thirty iron clads, with number of torpedoe
boats and transports, had arrived at City Point.
II was the conviction ofmany intelligent officers
of the Confederate army that great battle along
the whole line before Richmond would soon take
place, and that the Federal fleet would co ope-
rate with the army whenever the attack occur
red.
General Early is again advancing down the
Shenandoah Valley, and Sheridan has fallen
back to his former entertainments near Charles
town--llis extreme outposts being in the vicini-
ty of Winchester. Gen. Ftzhugh Lee is report
ed TO DO in command of the Confederate cavalry
which is estimated to number at this time FIVE
thousand picked men, with twelve pieces of or
tileryc FROM information received at Washing
ton on Sunday last it was believed that the lat
ter was making preparations for great raid
into Maryland and Pennsylvania.
a telegram from st. Louis under date of Mon
day states that Gen. Candy, whilst ascending
White River, Arkansas, on the gunboat Cricket,
was wounded by guerllas, seriously if not fatal
ly, the bullet passing through sbody.
The U. S. gunboat Tulip was blown up on the
Lower Potomac, on Friday evening last, by the
bursting of her boiler Other officers and crew,
numbering in all sxty.nine men, only ten were
saved, and of these two have died since, and it
was thought that several others could not sur
we their injuries.
An Associated Press despatch says that Gen.
shel is now supposed to be beyond the means
OF immediate communication with Washington,
rs nothing has been heard from him direct for
several days. Sufficient subsistence and supplies
can be gathered, it is stated, through the coun-
try in which he is operating, without the trouble
Of transportation and it is not thought be will
have any formidable force of the enemy to con-
tend with.
Intelligence has been received at Washington
OF Gen. Hoods army having crossed the Tennes-
see river, but it was not known that he had gone
far beyond it.
Very little intelligence of any military opera
lions has been received. A letter from the Army
Of the Potomac. received in Washington, saws
'hat on saturday night noisy demonstration
was made by The enemy's pickets in front of the
Second Corps, and it was apprehended that
something important might be the result; but on
Sunday morning all was quiet and the Union line
remained unchanged. No news was brought to
Fortress Monroe by the arrival of the mail steam
er last Monday from City Point
A despatch from Chambersburg says that some
guerllas having crossed the Potomac evidently
for the purpose Of pundering on The border, the
citizens Of that town held large meeting on
Tuesday evening, and organized themselves into
companies for defense against any raids that
might be made. The companies ale to he armed
with rifles. Similar precautionary measures are
also being adopted by the people of Waynesboro
hercersburg and Greencastle.
