NEWS OF THE WEEK

Grant has been doing little IN
front of Petersburg except now and
then skirmishing with the enemy.
The Army of TIE Potomac may be
said to be quiet"
General Sheridan is getting ready
aguin for another of his vigorous
movements. The rebels have re-
treated beyond Harrisonburg, and
are in very demorslized condition.
The rebels admit Early's defeat as
one Of the most disastrous CT tie
war. Sheridan is receiving rein
forcements, and will effectually clean
out the Valley of the Shenandoah.
In Missouri, Price has been badly
whipped, and in full retreat through
Kansas. Our cavalry force is pur-
suing him closely, and his army is
fast dwindling away by capture and

situation. All rumors of Atlanta,
Rome, and other places now in our

Bin Thurman. He is, beyond doubt
dead, and his brother a prisoner.
