For the Lancaster Gazette.

EDGToRs GAzETTE:-The Eagle of
last week has half its space occupied
with the names of persons who are in
favor of peace upon any terms, In
that list | learn that tho names of
several persons of our township arc
found, who have heretofore acted and
voted, and have no hesitancy in say
ing that they will again vote with the
Union party this fall These men have
been deceived. They have been ap-
preached under false prctcncCs The
true object Of this peace humbug was
not made known to them, that by
signing that petition, thoy were drift
ing towards recognition of tho Con-
foderacy. These names were obtained
through deception and falschood.-
These peace Cmisaries approached an
honest aud intelligent German Of our
township, who had acted with them
until last iall-he concluded that facts
wcrc stern rcalitics-that the party
with which he was acting was the en-
cmy Of the government. lilo had left
tho banks of the Rhine to become Il
free citizen of this country, and in or
der TO enjoy that blessing, hovoted lor
Brough and tho Union. Ho was in
formed that largo number of Union
men were signing this petition, naming
several of tho most influential men oI
our party, but with all their smooth
manners and language, and their dam
nablo ftlschoods, they could not in
duce this intelligent, frank, and hon
est German, to sign this peace petition
which is nothing but y reserve linked
on to the Winsor conspiracy; and oul
friends who signed this petition may
yet be called upon to handle the arm,
purchased with tho Vallandighan
fund, to bring war, and wars dosola
ton in our midst. PLEASANT.

Copperheads in their anxiety to make

Of many Union mon without the con
sent or knowledge Of such PERSONS
Wherever thero were two men OF tho

wero brought together on lastSaturday
and both declared they did not sign
tho call, yet tho name appears in the
Eagle. Many names arc signed twice,
DR.. Feeman is a staunch Union man,
and docs not relish being set down

X X A few moro moves and
Atlanta will bo ours; then we will have
thcir supplies, and if Grant is success
full and gets Ices army demoralzcd,
as | am suro ho will, this war will
soon close. Johnston's army is pretty
near dcmoralizcd, and well they might
be, for we have run him over one hun
drod miles. lie has thirty thousand
negroes in his rear building fortitica-
tons for him to fall back in;yct the But
tornuts are not in favor of freeing
them, and putting them to the use of
tho Government. Just think if We
had the 10000 to dig our dichcs for us,
We would have had Johnston's army
prisoners before this time. My opin-
ion is the Rebs will try to continue this
war till tho election, thinking perhaps
the North will elect one Of their own
cast, and then they will gain their in
dependence. But if Old AbO is elected,
they will see there is no help but lay

sI THE WAR NEWS.
Tho r;no;nnot; Goyotto of


\. Tho Cincinnati Gazette of to-day
Q says From the scene of operations
on tho North side of James River our
adviccs arc up to ten, o'clock Tuesday
morning. The movements of Sunday
and Monday were entirely successful,
the left OF the rcbcl works having been
turned, and the enemy forced back
to within fiyc miles Of Richmond and
tho river, and when messengers left the
front Tuesday morning, artillery was
being placed in position for hot work.
ofiIt is evident that Lee was not prcpar-
cd for this sudden movement Oh the
part Of Gen. Grant, and if he has sent
large force into tho Valley ho may
pay dcariy for the enterprise. Grant
instead ofscnding troops around to re-
enforce Sheridan, as tho rebels suppo.
sed, has taken another plan of putting
an end TO the invasion of Maryland,
and it will bo successful, for the rebel
81 General will be in a fargrcater hurry
to get his troops back from tho Valley,
than ho was 10 send thom out.--
Meantime il Grant accompllshcs
nothing moro at present, he has
obtained an important position
which will enable him to shift
his forces from left to right and vice
q versa, much more rapidly than the
enemy can move, and instead Of
threatening only Petersburg Or Rich,
mogd at time, ho threatens both at
once. Having the shorter line, the
advantages are all on the Union side
But ho may have pushed the advan
tnges gained on Sunday and Monday
Of this We shall know moro today
There Is n report from Washington
that Sheridan has fallen back to Win
chester, where he was foitfying. -
This would be in accordance will
Grants strategy, for the farther Ear
ly can DO taken from Richmond, an,
tho longer ho can be kept away a
present tho better. Sheridan, on th
defensive, is safe enough meantime
