THE NEWS.

From the Army Of the Potomac we have
had reports for several days of movements il
progress. 1t is difficult telling precisely wha'
they are, though it seems certain a consider
able force has been thrown across the James
where they gained and now hold an important
position much nearer Richmond than any point
heretofore reached by our forces during the
present csmpaigu. What the movement will
result in few drys will probably develop.
Nothing Of special interest has transpired
in Shermans army since our last report. A
feeble assault made on our lines a few days
ago was repulsed with ease and slight loss, and
our batteries continued to shell the city with
Vigor. A rebel cavalry force has been opera
ting against Sherman's communications, but
nothing very serious had been effected. 1t is
reported that the rebels have been largely re-
enforced, also that Beauregard has succeeded
Hood in command.
There is no late news from Mobile. Rebel
prisoners and deserters report that we have
taken and bold the city, but like most reports
from the same source they probably uu-
founded. The official report of Farragut will
be found in another column. The victory 10
the contest for pOssessioB Of the bay was thor
ough ard complete, and the achievement ofour
gallant navv unexcelled in blilIiancy by any
event Of the war. The vail of the rebel press
over their defeat evibees the importance they
attach to it.
Sheridan continues hie advance up the Shen-
andoah valley, ard at last accounts had push
Ais column as far as S;rasburg. Early con-
linued TO retreat before him, but as it is known
that q considerable portion OF Lees force has
been sent 10 his aid it is not likely he will re-
retreat much further without giving battle
Interesting intelligence from that region must
aoon be received.
The Tallabasse, another Of the piratical ves-
Eels furnished the rebels by British sympa-
thisers is committing sad havoc among mer-
chant vessels on the Atlantic coast, no less
than twenty-five being reported robbed ard
burnt in q single day. The crew of the Tai
lahasse is said to be composed almost exclu-
SiveIy of NOvascOtiars.
Our hundred day troops are returning home,
their places being hled by New York and
Pennsylvania troops Of the came class.
Col. Potter, recently acting Provost Mar
rhal General fer the State, has been relieved
and Col Wilcox, Provost Marshal Of the 7th
District, has been sppointed in his place.
A recent visit to Washington of Governor
Brough has resulted in an order giving our
State credit for those who have paid comma
tation money under former drafts, which will
reduce our quota under the pending draft tome
1000. he also procured an order for the ex-
emplion OF all persons belonging TO the Ma
tional Guard who were drafted while in the
service

The time for the meeting Of the Chicago
Convention is rapidly approaching and as
there can be no further pOstpOuement OF the
concern, we shall soon know what it will bring
forth 10 the shape OF candidates and platform.
Since tine postponement was announced the
CopperheadS, or Peace faction, have been
making strenuous efforts to gain control Of the
Convention and dictate its action. For a
time appearances indicated their probable sue
cess but latteriy the Democrats proper, the
men who profess desire to put down the re-
bellion if it can be done in strictly conatitu-
tional manner and without injuring slavery,
have been demonstrating in q way that shows
they will make vigorous fight for the maSte-
ry and hence it is exceedingly doubtful which
faction will triumph Mcclellan is the choice
of the Democrats while some man Of the Val
landighaw stripe is insisted upon by The Cop
perheads One Of the largest meetipgs ever
held in the city of New York was got up last
week by the McClellanites, and one of their
resolutions avowed the determination to have
him nominated by the Chicago Convention, or
by the people outside OF it, aud his prominent
organs speaks in the same spirit On the other
hand the New York News, Cincinnati En-
quirer, Medarys Crisis, and other Copperhead
organs, pitch into Mcclellan in terrific PAN.

Persons who are in the habit Of advising
resistance to the draft, would do well to read
and ponder upon the following section Of q
Law recently passed by Congress:
And be it further enacted. That if any per
son shall resist any drAf, OF men enrolled un-
der this act into the service Of the United
States, or shall counsel or aid any person to
resist any such draft, or shall assault or ob-
struct any officer in making such draft, or in
the performance Of any service in relation there
to, or shall command any person 20 assault or
obstruct any such officer. or shall command
any drafted man not to appear at the place Oi
rendezvous. or Willfully disUuAde them from
.he performance Of military duty required by
lsw, such persons shall be sHbjrcted TO sum-
mary arrest by the provost marshal and shall
be forthwith delivered to the civil authorities.
and upon conviction thereof, be punished by
fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or
by Imprisonment not exceeding two years. or
both Of said puniGhmeAts.
