that advantage he will not let go without
desperate fighting.
One thing is observable in the series of
battles thus far, and that is that Grant is
not so much in fear of being outnankcd as
to desist in all attempts to fight and win a
victory. The other day, while Lee made
the attempt to get in his rear, he showed
him that two could play at that game, and
the willy rebel General ran to save himself
The reports as to the number killed,
wounded and missing must be mere guess
work. We know, however, that the loss
mus: be heavy.
Grant docs not stop to mount heavy guns
and approach by the regular system inau-
guratcd by Mcclellan.

The latest news would seem to indicate
that Lee is changing his course, probably
finding that Grant would reach Richmond
first, on race for that long sought for
place, if lie continued on the route indicat
ed by previous accounts. His army seem
ed to be making for the Virginia and Cen
tral railroad, which would give Grant the
interior line to the rebel capital if follow
cd up.
To-day's news, thus far, reports heavy
and continuous cannonading within hear
ing distance from Fredericksburg. This
shows Lee making for the Richmond and
Virginia railroad, thus preventing Grant
from ou.running him by his having the
shortest route to the capital. If Lee falls
back as this latest despatch shows not
much doubt of, then there must be contin.
nous fighting or running. 1t looked as if
Grant had all the advantage while Lee was

way caught by her dress or hoops and ear
RED headlong over the cliff, falling some
two hundred feet before striking the rocks

dreadtully bruised and many of her bones
broken by the fall, she survived several
hours, but was entirely unconscious Ii
was several hours before the body couId
be got down from the place where it fell,

Editorial Correspondence.
BANGOR. Nav Ilth.

DEAR AMERICAN:
The news of this morning is of the most
exciting character, as there is just enough
tranSpircd to make all eager for the full
details and the glorious contamination vet
in store for the Union armies. The dcs
patch from Gen. Butler Of the 9th. and
communicated to Gen. Dix by the Secrcta-
~ of War, is a most important one. II
Butler keeps Bcaaregard from reinforcing
Lee, it will be great point gained, and
must seriously disturb Lees plans for say
ing Richmond.
The news looks suspicious for the entire
route of Lee, and the fall of the rebel cap
ital The fighting must have been severe,
according to the accounts of the wounded
and killed. The country will mourn the
death of the gallant aud able Sedgwiek.-
Such murders are horrid, as there was no
general battle going on at the time, and his
death was caused by a bullet from the rifle
of rebel sharpshootcr. The fighting on
Friday must have been of a desperate
character, and the full accounts, when writ
ten out, will be deeply exciting and inter
esting.
There viii be still more hard fighting
before this campaign is ended and the great
victory won, which will bring peace and a
the Indications from officials from Wash
ington, everything looks hopeiul. The
President calls for the especial gratitude to
God, of the " Friends of Union and Lib
erty" for the first five days operations
All since then is still more encouraging.
This is time for sober joyousness and
gratitude to God and our noble men in the
field. Before this reaches you, you may
have more and fuller news, and the pleas
IRE of reading of splendid triumph.
