Another Move of Grant.
He Is within 4 or S Miles of Richmond

Early Thursday morning last, parts Of
the 10Th and ls:h Corps, having crossed
James river during the night previous,
advanced towards Richmond. At Cha.
pins Bluff or Farm, they came upon
heavy works, extending for miles, which
they assaulted and carried They cap
,ured l6 guns and 500 prisoners. We
l6st Gen. Burnbam killed, and several
other officers wounded-the enemy's loss
unknown, but must be great. The col
ored troops engaged behaved admirably :
they fought - we'll, and suffered as much,
Is the whites.
FoRTREss MoNRoE, Sept 80.
The latest reports from the front, Of
that part Of our army on the north side
Of the James river, represents everything
as highly encouraging. Our forces were
within four or Eve miles of Richmond this
morning, having driven the enemy before
them in confusion.
The works taken we're the strongest
which have SO far been seen arouud Rich
mond, and the same which Mcclellan
tried In vain 20 take.
Some dessrters came 10 to-day, Who say
the defeat Of Early in the Valley has
caused great depression throughout their
ranks, and thousands we're ready 10 desert
on the 6rst opportunity, having lost oil
faith 10 final success.
BALTIMORE, Oct. /.
Major Gen. Ord, wounded in the recent
movement Of the army on the north side
of James river, arrived here this morning
from the front He has fesh wound of
the right leg, but is doiog we'll. He is
full Of hope of glorious results Of our
present mosement-sud expects to be up
and as Is sgsia in few weeks.

NEGROES IN RICHMoND.-Tbe Rich.
mOnd Examiner complains that the ne.
erocs are the most luxurious class 10 that
city, dressing better than the whites and
monopoiizing the delicscies in the market.
Strangers are struck With the lesuness of
white men, snd the farness Of the black
men in Ricbmosd, and the EramiHer
says the negroes get their money BY
stealing and burglary, and are rich enough
to bribe the police and judges.
So it seems the Rebels have become 90
weak that the negroes are not only free,
but lawless. Union Republican rule puts
ALL human beings under both restraint,
and protection, Of just and equal LAWS.

THE PROSPECT.-We

THE PROSPECTIVE dislike
as much to excite false hopes, as to
allow a fatal, unreasonable security,
among our friends. But We do say,
that all signs point to an overwhelm-
ing triumph of the Union party in
Pennsylvania-PRovIDED they are
reasonably diligent, and POLL THE
PULL VOTE. The adhesion to
Lincoln Of Fremont, Cochrane, Chase,
B.F.Wade, III. Winter Davis, and all
other "soreheads," was the result of
the Chicago Platform. Edward Ev-
erett, among the Bell men-L. Cass,
Tod, and Cessna among the Douglas
men-and Dickinson and Butler Of
the Breckinridge men-are Of the
100000 voters who opposed Lincoln
in 1860, but who support him in 81.
We know Of no prominent advocate
of the Presidents election, who now
opposes him. The victories of Grant,
Sherman. Sheridan and Farragut are
potential in stiffening up the Union,
and depressing the Armistice-Peace-
Disunion spirit. We therefore, with
proper labor and vigilance, will gain
several Congressman, Senators, As
semblymen and County Offices in Oct.

Tho Remains Of vo1talre and nous-

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Star, under date Of March 2, says: r.. =
Few can now believe that Yoltaire's re-
mains are In the vaults of the Pantheon, his
tomb having been found empty when it was,
not many weeks ago, opened By order Of; tho
Emperor. But It bas been since discovered
that Roussean'e tomb Was also violated In
16l4..' The history Of it's violation. as well as
that Of Voltairo's, which took place at the
came time; is given in a French imitation Of
't:Notes and Queries ~ By II. Benjamin Du-
prat, librarian to- the Institute, who quotes
The BiblophI1e Jacob on this subject, Jacob,
who was a man OF unaouhted verncity, de-
clared previous to tho investigation ID the
vaults Of the: Pantheon to which have re-
bones were there, because, during the reign
Of the clerical reaction In 1914, they had been
removed By night and thrown into hole dur
for the purpose Of hiding them, at BcrcY.
One night in the month OF May Of tho same
year the leaden cotflns in which the remains
and their contents thrown into sack, which
was conveyed to d JEdcrs drawn up at the back
of the church. Six persons got Into the vehi
Gle, two Of whom were ChristLln Brothers.
At two in the morning they arrived at the
Barr1ere dc Ia Care, opposite Bercy. There
was then there vast space Of waste ground
enclosed with planks. i had been originally
intended for the site, Of large ensrTpoe'ds
rins. But this intention was neYer executed,
and the ground in question, although belong.
ing to the municipality, was Invaded BY tile
propr1etoTs ofguingurttes and cdba4rts.
In the midst yaWned ON. the May morning
Of which speak, deep ditch freshly dug.
Around 1t were assembled several PERSONS
who awaited the fatrt IN which was the sack
containing the remains Of Voltairc and Rous-
sean. The six men who riaed the collins got
ont Of: the foere as soon as It reached the
ditch, in which there was bed ofqulck lime,
and threw the sack into It. They then filed
it up, and tramplcd down tr1nmphantly the
clay, and congratulated each other on the
loyal act and the Christian duty they had
Just accomplished. The priests who have
since been enriched by the Visitors to Vol
have been In the secret OF this Outrage, quite
worthy Of the 1nquisition.-.
