Gen. Grants advance was three miles
south Of the North Anna River, and across
the Virginia Central Railroad, which had
been effectually destroyed. The main
body Of the rebel army was, at that time,
on the north bank of the South Anna, en-.
gagged in strengthening its position. On
Thursday night the Federal army was
withdrawn to the north side of the North
Anna. On Friday morning Hanover Town
was occupied, and the passage Of the Pa.
munky was commenced. The latest dis.
patch from Gen. Grant, dated z o'clock
Sunday morning, states that everything
was going on well, and that the army would
be beyond the river by noon. Hanover
Town is about fifteen miles from Rich.
mond, fifteen from White House, and seven
or eight from Hanover Court House.
Breckenridge is at the latter point, with a
force variously reported at from 10000 to
100000.
Gen. Sherman states, under date of A.
NJ. on Saturday, that he met the rebels
about mile cas-: of Pumpkin Vine Greek,
and pushed them back three miles, to a
point where the roads fork to Atlanta and
Marietta, where johnson took up strong
position. The Federal right was at Dallas.
and the centre about three miles north.
Many sharp encounters had taken place,
but nothing Of a decisive character had
occurred.
Banks army has reached the Mississippi.
1t had two engagements on the route-one
at Manazona and the other at Yellow Bayou
defeating the rebels in both cases. Gen.
Banks asserts that he has lost no prisoners
or m,ateriel since the battle at Sabine Cross,
Roads.
In the Senate, Saturday, proposition

Washington was defeated. The internal
revenue bill was taken up, and the amend

From washingtOn.

From Warrington.
A letter from an esteemed and we'll
informed army officer now in Washington,
contains matter of interest not usually
published: bis language weighs more with
us for the reason that he has been strongly
identified with those who do not agree with
us in political opinion-he is Republican,
but not one who can close his eyes to facts
simply because he draws large pay:
"The city is one grand hospital. Over
$4,000 wounded have reached here and
many thousands yet remain on the banks
Of the Rappahannock and at Belle Plain,
and wherefore this unparalleled slaughter?
The enemy, between being driven and
voluntarily rctreating, has enabled Grant
at one point to gain to exceed three miles,
and at another point fifteen. From an un.
tenable position, Lee withdrew into the
Wilderness, and Grant with his strategy
Immediately following. Lee turns upon
Grant and the latter opens the ball square'y
in front. Nothing is gained but our own
dead and wounded, with the thousands the
enemy left for US to bury and attend. Lee
reaches other and stronger entertainments;
Grant Immediately gives battle, resulting
as in the former case, with virtually no
gain and thousands of dead and wounded.
"Lec retreats, though" says the enthus.
asst, "and therefore Grant is successful."-
Just as our forces at Fairfax Court House
attacked by the enemy in full force, would
fall back upon our stronger defences near
Washington. Just that and no more
There are but few congratulations among
military men here on the condition of af-
fairs below. Grant is being heavily rein
forced with veteran troops, relieved from
duty in the city defences by one hundred
day men from the Western states. OF
course we hope for the best, but l have not
the fond antic'pations Of success this sum.

The niggers under Butler and Burnsdes
have done nothing. They were not engag.

last night that detachment of coIored

prisoners near Belle Plain, managed to kill
the entire lot and then returned to their

Politics.
Believing that our readers are more in
terested in the news of the day and the
local events about this region than they
are in the heavy speculations Of Atlantic
Dalies on the question of Presidential sue
cession, we relieve ourselves from the labor
of posting them editorial1y on the wrangles
now exciting the Fremont, Chase, Lincoln
and Butler circles in the political bear
garden. Neither Of the aforementioned
are suited to the aspired position, but it is
not unlikely that one Of the four will curse
the country by an administration of fraud
and arbit:ariness such as has distinguished
the imbecile and spiteful regime Of poor
"honest old Abe and his aois. Fremont
seems determined to lun, and as he repre-
sents radicalism, unqualified by policy, we
are not sure but he is the best candidate
for our extreme loving countrymen. The
nausea of bitter pill will vomit our people
sooner than sugar-coated one. Nothing
short of political ipecacuana will clean the
stomachs Of the masses, and Gen. Fremont,
Phillips & Co. seem disposed honestly to
administer this powerful medicine. When
whites must stand aside to allow "the op-
pressed African to occupy front and pre-
ferred seats at Hotel tables, in churches, in
r. II. cars, in public Offices, and Legislative
bodies, then will the strong minded women
of our country and their BOBBY husbands
begin to appreciate the blessings for which
they have sacrificed four thousand millions
in treasure and one million of the bes
young white blood that ever coursed tn,
veins Of nation. Until there is on
awakening to our actual situation, we carr
not to be q participant in the discussion Q
questions which are only settled by the in
terests of the pocket.

"Rev. DR.. Sunderland, who has recently

church in Paris, offered his farewell prayer
as Chaplain Of the Senate few days ago,
and took occasion to make very unkind
dig at the honorable gentlemen for whom
(he had been daily interceding at the throne

cation very audibly: we pray thee, o
Lord, to give to the counscllors and states.

criticism, Mr.. Sumner dropped his head
upon his breast quite feelingly; jim Lane
rolled his eyes quite piously Garret Davis
evinced signs of emotion, and gentleman
in the reporters gallery uttered an emphatic
Amen by way of a second to the reverend
