what cleveland says orthe Late
Hattlaa,


Battles.
OF the almost innumerable correspond
ents Of newspapers, there is none more re-
liable. or in the enjoyment of higher de-
gree o. public confidence than "Cleve-
land, an occasional correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. From bis letter Of
May Is, we make some extracts which are
Of great interest. He says
Since l wrote you week ago, far
greater and more bloody battles have been
sought-battles which the telegraph, under
Government censorship, has declared to be
greet and glorious victories Tor the Fede-
raj amy. The public who are easily hum
bngged. so believe; but there is not one
word of truth in IT, Save the surprise of
Gen. ,Iohnson's division by that skilllul
aud euterprising officer, Gen. Hancock,
and the capture Of some 5000 prisoners.
the latter part Of the campaign has been
rs disastrous as the former The success
of Hancock, even, had no effect upon the
general result. 1t Is now more than two
weeks since General Grant, with the larg-
est, finest, and best offensive army that
was ever raised upon this continent, put
under the charge OF one man, crossed the
Rapidan. Lee fell back to Spottsylvania
court house. distance Of some eight or
ten miles--it being the first Of a number
Of strong positions which he had selected
/ for the battles for the defence oi Richmond,
and there awaited the onset of the attack
of Grants army Of l75, 900 men.
after eight days of the most tremend-
ous fighting, and the most extensive and
bloody losses; after the slaughter Of at least
$4,000 mon, Lee still holds his position
with defiant front at Spottsylyanis. All
attempts to drive him from it by direct as
sault have failed. All attempts to obtain
the same result by flank movement have
also proved aoortive."
Here, again, is something which we do
not get by telegraph;
General Grant is entirely at a loss
what to do. Shall he, after some interval
Of time, and after he has received rein
forcements, continue TO press on in the
route he has selected; or shall he retire be-
yond the Rapidan, and select a new base
Of operations? Ii the first alternative is a
dopted, how many armies will be destroy
ed before he reaches Richmond? If our
army, in the flush Of enthusiasm failed to
drive Lee from Spottsylvania after eight
days fighting, can it be done when Lee has
vastly strengthened his position, and when
his troops are elated by their previous sue
ceSses2
"If perchance Lee should fall back, it
woud only be to other and stronger posi-
lions where his advantages ould increase
and where those of Grant would decrease
Every mile that our army advances, but
adds to the obstacles in the way of success
owing to the difficulties of transportation,
and the keeping open of communications
while every mile that Lee falls back stfeng
thens him in the same ratio Gen. Grant
knows this, and he feels the weight of re
} sponsibility."
The same writer says that Butler was
badly whipped, losing several thousand
men, and that Sgel, in his retreat befor,
Imboden, lost three thousand men, killed
? wounded and prisoners.

TT The Union Convention in this city
on Saturday, did some artful dodging.--
No resolutions wera adopted, from which
it is apparent that the members of the Con
vention could not agree upon any line of
policy, or upon any Presidential candidate,
Why did they not come up to the support
of the Government, by calling for vigor-
Ons prosecution. and endorsing the intel
lectual and accomplished Lincoln? Why
did they not commend the loyal enthusi-
asm of john Brough in sending our Ohio
farm hands to battle? We are afraid there
is screw loose somewhere.

Love was one ofthe earliest follies
That bothered my head when a boy
l spOrted bead roll of Pollies,
Hung all round my heart for toy.
Every week | was parting in sorrow
With sOihe little duck of belle,
And soothing my grief on the morrow
In sparkling with Annie or Nell
Sweet Nell All well
A withered old matron is Nell.
Years have feeted-no matter how many
And changes have come to us all.
Some are mothers, and one is a granny,
And others still wait for a call
Yet live, after all my heart-breakine,
And smile through the gloom of despair
And often feel my sides shaking
As muse on those days, in my chair
My chair don't stare
I've grown rather fond of being there.
All my angels have folded their pinions,
Aud flung their romance to the pigs;
Have picked up domestic opinions,
Forgot all their watzes and jigs;
And II have grown an old poser;
The flight of my fancy to-day,
But flies TO the butcher and grocer.
My rent and the taxes to pay
To-day Hey dey
A bit of romance in its way.

Age and Destiny Of the Earth.

Men are in the habit of measuring the great
ness and the wisdom of the universe by the du-
ration and the profit which it promises to their
own race; but the past history of the earth al
ready shows what an Insignificant moment the
duration of the existence of our race upon it,
constitutes. A Ninevah vessel, Roman sword,
awakes in us the conception of gray antiquity.
When the European Museum shows us of re-
mains in Egypt and Assyria, we gaze with
silent astonishment and despair of being able
to carry thoughts back to a period so le-
mote. Still must the race have existed for ages,
and multiplied itself, before the pyramid of
Ninevah created. We estimate the dura-
ton of human history at six thousand years
but immeasurable as this may seem to us, what
is it in comparison with the time when the earth
carried successive series of rank plants and
mighty animals and no men; during which, in
Europe, Asia and America, groves of tropical
plants tiourlshed, where gigantic lizards, and,
after them, elephants, whose mighty remains
we find buried in the earth, found a home p
Different geologists proceeding from different
premises, have sought to estimate the duration
of the above created periods, and vary from one
million to nine million years. All the time du-
ring which the earth generated organic beings,
is again SMALL when we compare it with the
ages during which the earth was a ball of fused
rocks. For the duration of its cooling, from
two thousand to two hundred centigrade, the
experiments Of Bishop upon basalt, show that
about three hundred and fifty millions of years
would be necessary. With regard to the time
which the irst nebulous mass condensed into
our planetary system, our most daring cOnjec-
lures must cease. The history of man, there
fore, is but short ripple in the course of time.
For longer series of years than that during
which has already occupied this world, the
istence of the present state of inorganic nature
favorable to the duration of man seems to be Sc
cured, so that for ourselves and for long gene-
rations after us, we have nothing to fear. But
the same forces of air and water, and the whole
volcanic interior, which produced former geo.
logical revolution, and buried one series of iv-
ing forms after another, actstill upon the earths
crust They will most probably bring aboutthe
last day of the human race, then those distant
cosmieal alterations of which we have spoken,
and perhaps force us to make way for more COM
plete living FORMS as the lizard and the NAM
moth have given place thus, and our fellow
creatures which now exist. Thus the thread
which has conducted us to a universal law of
nature, permits long but not an endless exist
ence-it threatens it with day of Judgment,
the dawn of which is still happily obscured AS
each of us must singy endure the same. But
above the forms of life gone by, the human race
has high moral problems before it, the bearer of
which it is, and in the completion of which it
fulflls its destiny.

AMUSING PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN.-As the
good man saith, so say we; but as the good wo-
man saith so it must be.
A woman and a greyhound must be small in
the waist.
A little house well filed, little land well
titled, and a little wife well willed.
All women are good good for something or
good for nothing.
A virtuous woman, though uglyi is the orna-
ment of the house.
An obedient wife commands herhusband
A man of straw is worth woman of gold.
A womans work is never at an end.
A good wife is the workmanship of a good
husband.
When the good mans from home the good
wife table is soon spread.
A mans best fortune-or his worst-is a
wife,
An enemy to beauty is foe to nature.
All are good lasses; but where comes the i'll
wives frae ?
A woman conceals what she knows not.
lass that has many wooers often fares the
worst.
A man must his wife leave to thrive.
Fools are wise men in the affairs of women
Every man can tame shreW but he that hath
