Gen. Grants Campaign..He II Con-
ndent OF Success.

The Chicago journal has the following
Ex-Governor Ramsey, United States
Senator from Minnesota, passed through
this city on his way home on Tuesday last,
having, since the adjournment of Congress
been on visit to the army before Peters
burg. He gives very encouraging &C
count of the situation and the prospects.
He visited our entire lines, and without
exception found the officers and men full
of hope and confidence. They feel sure
that their present campaign will result not
only in the capture of Petersburg and of
Richmond, but, what is more important,
in the destruction of Lees army, which is
the main object of present operations.
Everything appears satisfactory in our po-
si.ion near Petersburg, and the army is
not idle. At present, sapping and mining
are the order of the day, a la Vicksburg.
Governor Ramsey had conversations
with General Grant, who told hin to re-
quest the people Of the North to "possess
their souls with patience that alI will
come out right-that his success is beyond
dOubt-that his grand plan has been sue
cessfully carried out so far, and is certain
to be successful in the end. General
Grant has never felt greater confidence of
success than he feels now. But it is a
stupendous work he has before him, and
the people must not be unreasonable in
their anticipation; they must not expect
that to be done in week which cannot
be done in month; for if they will have
patience, they Will in due time be fully
repaid for the exercise of that virtue, by
the splendid success that will crown the
Efforts Of tho army of the Potomac to
overwhelm the chief army of the rebellion.
The destruction of Lees army will be al
most equal to the suppression of the re-
bcllion The people therefore can afford
to wait, if that achievement is likely to
result from the present apparent inactivity

The army began moving yesterday upon

early engagement is anticipated, as the
armies are SO near to each other that the
slightest movement may stir up fight.
Bragg brought orders from Richmond

The French Press and the Alabama.

The Temps saws; H.a 20 .-
ave agree with the Constitutional; we
ought always to sympathize with the week
and feeble admiration for orunsuccessful hero
ism. These sentiments, innate iR human
nature, neutraliZe somewhat the useful the
ory of the fact, accompli and the immoral
giorifcation of success. But nothing ought
TO be exaggerated, and We really think the
semi-ofticial press goes beyond all bounds
IN glorifcation Of the Alabama and its cap
tain. That Capt. Semmes fought and
yielded like brave sailor, every one readi-
ly recognizes. But it is too much to make
martyr of him. The adventurous ca
reer of the Alabama has been, in fact more
fortunate than heroic In 1.-THE whole course
Of her career she has met only two North
ern war Yessels-the Hatteras, which she
sunk, though the Constitutional expressed
no sympathy with the week on that occa-
sion, and the Kearsarge, which sunk her
All her other exploits ware confined to the
capture Of merchant ships, and Captain
Semmes mas taken on the whole, many
more chronometers than cannon. The di-
tlIyranIbics of the semi-official press are
moreover all the more astonishing, because
they imply the most complete forgetfIlness
of the principles of maritime law professed
by France, to her great honor, at the Con-
gress Of 1885, ar5 fr
The Steele says: "The Constitutional is
fond of exaggeration; it displays it every
where, even in its account of the naval en-
gagement which has just taken place off
GherbOurg.i Not content with admiring
the bravery of the captain and crew Of
the Alabama, the Constitutionnel speaks
of the grand part played by that ship
for the last two years. 10 seize peaceful
merchantmen, and to destroy their cargo
when there was no possibility of selling it
in the nearest port, such was the part
played by the Alabama for the last two
years. What is there so very grand about
it? If wemay believe the Constitutional,
it is by an abuse of language that the name
of priyrteer has been given to the Alabama;
that ship was not a merchentman armed
for privateering; she was a ship built at
the expense Of the Richmond Government
and she belonged to the Navy of the Con-
federate States, So much the worse for
the Alabama if it was 50, for as a ship of
war her career has not been brilliant, and
we can imagine that she eagerly seized the
opportunity of redeeming her character by
measuring herself with the Kearsarge."

Encouraginr signs.

Ia the midst of our great civil war, when
the nation is struggling with treason, there
L nothing which is more encouraging, than
the enthusiasm which is bringing 50 many
thousands of immigrants to our shores
Notwithstanding war and the vile calu-
mnies which have been cast upon our in
stitutions and our national character, the
common people of Europe believe that
America is a more desirable place to live
in than are the homes Of their ancestors
They believe that here they can get better
wages, better food, better clothing and
greater exemption from civil connections,
than can be obtained either in Ireland,
Germany or England. .I
1t is encouraging too, to know that the
men in power in Europe are beginning to
see that there are good and sufficient rea-
sons why the poorer classes should come
to this country and that it is not within
the province of sound legislation to at
tempt to check movement which is de-
pendent on the laws OF trade. Nhen the
champions of aristocraey are compelled to
stand up in Parliament and defend emmi-
grafton to this country, showing why
America had more attractions for poor
men than England has, though they have
been laboring for twenty-five years to inn
prove the condition of Irishmen," there is
reason for us to think that, even though
We are afflicted with war, frightful in its
proportions and consequences, yet this
country is the most desirable home on all
the earth No American should wish to
be away in foreign land, where there is
no roar of cannon and conflict of arms
Here to toll by precept and example for
justice and freedom, is the true province
of his labors

We understand that the members
of Nthe Typographical Union
boast of having several thousand dollars
in their treasury, with which to fight the
publishers here on the question of wages,
and that they have telegraphed to Unions
in Philadelphia and elsewhere for further
funds, contemplating the establishment ol

ters managed tolayup such sumfrom the

The Lynchburgh Republican makes the
following extracts from letter written by
a lady in Roanoke, describing the atrocities
committed by the Yankees in passing
through that section:
THE Yankee army passed through this
village on Tuesday morning last, and pill
laged the house Of everything they could
carry off with them. ! am, for the first
time in my life, a beggar. / cannot de-
scribe, or you imagine, what they have done
to us. They not only stole my COW, flour,
meal, meat, lard, and, in fact, everything
we had to eat but they riaed our trunks,
took all my gold and silver money, my sill
yer pl'rtai a'ad every kind of kitchen uten-
sll5 knives and rUihsj. -aaiTs. saucers, &c
and they tore the clothes up ana srUiv ..l,y
children's clothes, and, indeed, all and eve
rything. They made road through our
front yard and tore down our fences, grazed
our oats, and destroyed nearly everything
we had
They not only done us so, butour neigh
bors were treated likewise. The negroes
insulted the ladies, and one buck nigger
smacked a young girls face not far from
US One General rode up and told my ser
want woman if she would go he would take
her up behind him. She told him she did
not want to go, as she had good master
They had these Kathairon notes that usu-
ally come. around hair-oil, and one man in
front of our house was offered a s. note
to 60 with them; he did go; he had been
working for us two or three months, but
did not belong to US. lg.
You. never saw such destruction in all
your life. The people that told them they
were for the Union, were treated worse
than the others They called them Id
liars and other vile names. The next morn
ing l did not have dust of -four, or meal,
not a teacupful, and, not a eanof corn to
send to mill. We were in a destitute con-
dition truly; but, thank God, some of our
friends, not so near the road, who were
more fortunate, came in and very kindly
offered to loan us. If they had not been
50 closely pursued they would have fired
our houses. They say when they come
again it will be with lire and sword"

The rate of increase, then, in Cleveland
is greater than in any other city, and we
are paying as much for composition as any
other city of the same class with Cleve-
land. FED
The reasons why we cannot pay as mue
as in New York, Cincinnati and Chicago,
are two-Fold. First, the price of living
is so much higher in those cities than it is
here, that the printer needs more to sup
port him; and second, the papers publish
ed in those cities have so much larger cir
culation than those published here that
they can better afford to pay higher prices
for work.
But more,-large as this advance has
been,-an advance of eighty per cent on
previous prices,-it will not satisfy the
Union, and it is evident from its past course
that in a few weeks IT would be demanding
further advance Their whole course is
that of selfish monopoly, whose only aim
is to force prices up te the highest point
and keep them there.
The regulations of the Typographical
Union are many of them of such an arbi-
trary and offensive character as to be utter
ly unbearable. Under its rules no publish
er can employ a foreman who is not a
member of that secret, oath-bound society,
and sworn, in case of conflict ofinterests,
to side with the Union against publisher.
No publisher can select men to work in his
own ofice,-that privilege being reserved
to the Union foreman. No publisher can
even employ his own son unless. he belongs
to that Union and swears to stand by it
rather than his father. A printer sefusing
to join the Union is placarded through the
country as q "rat." If a proprietor
chooses to employ such printer, the I'm
ion forthwith orders that the offenders Of
fee be rated and its members are forbid
den to work in that Office. Under its new
regulations, BREWER, miniOn and nonpaFeil
are measured under certain circumstances
as agate, a rule never before adopted. For
the purpose of keeping down the supply Of
printers only one apprentice is allowed to
three journeymen. The Union modestly
claims that it numbers all good printers
