The Grand Campaign.
The dispatches Of the Secretary OF War, en-
bodying the latest authentic advices from our
various armies in the field, from Virginia to
Louisiana, and especially In reference to the
heroic old Army Of tho Potomac, are emf
neatly satisfactory and encouraging. All the
losses from its late battles since the crossing OF
the Rapidan have been so well repaired that
General Grant has now more powerful force
under bis immediate eye than on the first day
Of that sanguinary struggle in "the Wilder
ness" With such an army our readers may
rest assured that the campaign will not Ian
guish in Virginia, and that the good tidings OF
glorious successes will soon be reported from
"the front"
We have heard some apprehenslons ex-
pressed that General Lee, perhaps, by
forced marches, may have undertaken
the experiment of a junction with Beauregard
on the south side Of Richmond, for the pur-
pose Of crushing the army column of General
Butler. No such apprehensions, however,
need be entertained; for the base Of General
Butler is within a sort Of peninsula, formed by
o OCn0 VI tuC VuuCs AitUl, WAiCu, OSAhS wa
protected in froni and commanded on all sides
by the iron-clads of Admiral Lee, is q stronger
position than the city Of Richmond itself, with
its triple lines of Notifications. General Lee,
we conjecture, is too much occupied by Gene
raj Grant to have any time or troops to spare
for the relief Of Beauregard, while the latter
cannot safely abandon the south side OF the
river to 60 to the assistance OF Lee. The re-
naming roads leading southwark and west
ward from Richmond, through which Lee,
Bsauregard and the city are fed, are too i'm
portant to the enemy to be for o moment aban-
doned to the chances Of capture.
General Grants combinations in Virginia are
thus working smoothly and to the sure and de-
csive result of the occupation of the rebel
capital and the expulsion of JEFF. Davis, his
shattered army and all his works from the
State. At the same time General Sherman, in
Georgia, after little rest to his victorious
troops, is ready again to push forward ''into
the bowels Of the land" in pursuit OF the routed
columns of Joe Johnston. Against our advances
in that quarter Johnston, dislodged and driven
from his strongest positions, can do nothing;
and Sherman, having penetrated into country
in which even a great invading army may be
subsisted without much transportation, will not
be long delayed in his journey to Atlanta.
From Louisiana we have the gratifying news
that skilful army engineer, in extricating the
gunboats of Admiral Porter from the Red river,
has prevented what otherwise might have
turned out serious disaster to the late unfor
tunate Shreveport expedition of General Banks.
The valuable squadron thus rescued by Lieu
tenant Colonel Bailey, Of the Nineteenth army
corps, is in itself equal to the saving of power.
full army.
East and West all goes we'll, and with the
fairest prospects Of a campaign which will be
so decisive in its results as to make this, over
all the States of the Union, South Carolina in
cluded, "the year of jubilee"

times show conclusively that the free soil and

Cleveland Convention in a body, and will
there unite in . movement that will complete

prospects are that the gathering In the Forest
City Of the lakes next week will, therefore, be
the largest and most important OF the national
conventions. If, as now seems, the result
Of tho convention shall be the nomination
OF General Grant for President, and Fremont,
Morgan or some other good man for Vice
President, it will sweep the country like tor
nado, and force the Baltimore Convention to
endorse the same ticket or adjourn without ac-
complishing anything. The nomination Of
Lincoln by the jobbers, contractors and Office
holders, after that. will only make the perpetra-
ton of the deed the laughing stock of the
people.

The CORPORATION ADVERTISING AUDIBLE
Ever since the utase of Mayor GuntLer in re-
gard to the Corporation advertising, we have
refused to publish those advertisements in the
HERALD. The officials continue to send their
proceedings and other articles for our sdverts-
ing columns; but we shall exclude them oil
until some satisfactory arrangement is made,
and this middle arranged as it should be for
the interest of the city. Under the law passed
by the Legislature of 1863 the Corporation
advertising was to be confined to the four
papers having the largest daily circulation.
This law has been violated by the city officials,
and, instead or four papers, the city advertise
ments are published in about every paper in
the city. daily and weekly, without regard to
politics, circulation or anything else. 1t is thus
made q system of corruption and an enormous
charge against the city. It is proposed
for this score or more papers to publish
these advertisements and then get judgments
against the city. Bills have already accumu-
lated amounting to from one hundred and
twenty-five thousand to one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. These bills are all
in violation of the law except those of four
daily papers, and therefore fraudulent. The
sooner stop is put to this mode of adyer-
tising--this useless and foolish expenditure Of
the public mouey-the better for the interests
of the city. The insertion Of these advertise
ments in the HERALD will secure circulation
almost equal to all the other city papers put
together. II is the duty of our city authorities
to overhaul the present expensive and corrupt
system, aud regulate this business in more
practical sensible and less expensive manner.
Until this is accomplished they need not send
any OF their advertisements to the HERALD; for
we shall not publish them,
