HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoroMAc, !

i June 1l-lOP. N.
The last few days has been quite event
ful to the Army of the Potomac. Oh
lines are scarcely any nearer the enemy
than was the position at the close of The
battle on Friday. The troops on both Sides
behind their entrenchments, have kept up
desultory but useless FIRE, just sufficient to
make apparent that their respective works
are not vacant. Both armies, in fact, have
been enjoying repose, which is needed after
the hard fighting and rapid marching for
tie last three weeks campaigning from the
bahks Of the Rapidan. To-day silence is
even more marked than before, the sound
Of thusket has scarcely beet heard along
the entire front, few blasts Of artillery and
explosions of shells about the centre line,
! only reminders Of the enemy's presence.
Frou the present indications there is not
likely to be any fighting for several days
to come, but the storm brewing may burst
in the quarters where least expected by the
enemy.
1t is not proper at this time to say pre-
cisely how Grant will attempt to disecnft
the enemy.
A correspondent off Point ct Rocks, Ap.
pomatox river, Va, Dune 10th, says: At
eight o'clock IN the morning Of the 9Th,
the gunboats Commodore Perry and Gen.
Putnam opened fire on the rebel Fort Cliff
ton, near Petersburg, which vas readily
answered by the gray backs. The Commo-
dore Perry lay up on the r;ghs branch of
the river above Fort Walthain, between
three aud four miles from the rebel fort.
The Gen. Putnam, being light drsught, ran
up the left branch, and delivered ERE With
such precision as to cause the partial xban.
Comment Of their works. An incessant
fire vas kept upon US until noon, when the
Ire from the gunboats having sileneed the
guns of the main forts, they directed their

BOARDING VERSUS HOUSEKEEPING.

1
The newly married are universally falling back
on the cd idea Of boarding. It is, they say, the
easiest, ssd undoubtedly the most. economical I;
teere Is no furniture to buy, no expensive stock Of
household linen to purchase and make up, no coal
and flour to lay m no frightful rent days, and no
servants wages to pay, or servants board to ind
ms y true to a certain extent bat not all true,
ana 1t need net be half so true as it is AS an
offset, it must be remembered that board is very
hlgh, and constantly growing higher and getting
poorer that in little while complications may
be expected in the shape of children, and that, in
the meantime, instead Of enjoying freedom and
domestic comfort, the young husband and wife
have to submit to all sorts Of tiresone restraints,
to diet which generally excludes everything that
they have particular hkeing for, and to the abb
sence of the great charm of newly welded life
the feeling Of joint proprietorship il their own
home. Moreover, boarding, where it is not d
necessity, is wicked-its tendency is immortality
In large boarding houses it is considered absurd
for a man to pay the attention OF husband and a
gentleman to his own wife. Especially If he be
recently married. he is madethe target of sense
less crow Of young men and women, who aim
their silly shafts at him until he is shamed out Of
iis manhood, and becomes either frivolous male
firt, or leaves bis wife alone while he seeks the
solaee Of neighboring billiard saloons But, say
the young ladies', what are we to do? You ac-
that at present prices, it is impossible
for some Of us to go to housekeeping, and yet dis

COMPETENT WITNESSES,


While we have Copperhead stump speakrs IN
our county, going about whining that the rebeil-
ion cannot be subdued BY arms, and that some
otherga ought to be tried the following are
some of the authorities whose voices are heard
on the other side:
Says Lieut. Gen Grant -
The end is not far distant, if we win only be
true to ourselves. All we want now to insure an
early restoration Of the Union is determined u
. nitg s.f Of sfRtiggeas aaj. Gen. A66ls4 AAss5lE I
This Union must be preserved and there IS
10 way of preserving it, but by the powers Of our
arms-by fighting the conspiracy to death. The
rebellion is tottering while speak it IS going
down, and viii soon tumble into ruin. >
Says Maj. Gen. Meade
ssDisnssing, as now useless to discuss, all ques-
lions as to the origin of this war, we have daily
and hourly evidences that it exists, and that it
can ong be determined BY hard fighting and by
determined efforts to overcome thearmed enemies
Of the government.
Says Maj Gen. Burnside
ssWould it not be eowardly for US to say that
this rebellion cannot be crushed and the authority
of tbe government sustained There is in my
mind no question Of it. There can be no such
thing as laying down of arms or cessation of hos
tilities until the entire authority of the govern
ment is acknowledged by every citizen OF the
country"
Says Maj. Gen. Logan
"The greatest victoryof the rebels, greater than
Manassas, and their only one that we can give
them, particle of hope, viii be to defeat the wal
party of the incoming campaign.
Says Major General Dix:
s'AIy desire is to do all in my power to sustain
the government in its efforts to put down the re-
belion- an object to be effected, in my Judgment,
by a steady and answering prosecution OF the
war. y

the Union and its government but the success OF
