TO take his back track and march for Wash
ington. He has no means OF taking his army
North Of the Rappahannock. The railroads
are destroyed. and the country on the way Is
laid waste. The Shenandoah Valley, that
once fertile and well stocked region, has been
devastated by the march Of armed hosts.
And if the country were not thus devasted,
Lee has not the teams nor forage necessary
for the transportation Of an army large as his
probably is, so that we need not apprehend
any danger from raid upon Washington.
That day has gone by, thanks to Grants over
land march to the rebel capital, and not by
the way Of the Peninsula.
Petersburg is in imminent danger II il has
not already been captured. Some of the outer
works have been carried, and its own guns
taken and turned upon themselves. Sheridan
has made successful dash in the vicinity OF
Gordonsyille, aud destroyed portion Of the
railway. The rebel forces before Butler have
been removed, and that Genera al has promptly
marched to the line Of the Petersburg and
Richmond Railroad. Butler will make sad
Richmond will become isolated from the other
rebel States.
Shermans marches have all been victorious.
And as he approaches near Atlanta, his great
objective point, 1t becomes him to be more
aud more cautious. He Is SO, and our readers
may feel quite easy that this gallant officer
will not now make a blunder after having
made such long triumphant march. In due
time this great central point OF rebeldom will
be occupied by our troops, and the good old
Flag of the Union once more float in triumph
over it. We can well afford to wait for that
good time coming. On the whole, our pros
poets have never locked brighter. We all
hope for the best. In times like these we
must not Gully trust in God, but also keep our
powder drv.
Since writing the above, we learn that our
forces have thrown shells into Pc .ersburg, and
set some buildings on FIRE. They were with
in $500 yards OF the city. We suppose these
shells were hurled among the rebels to show
them what we could do, and not for the purpose
Of burning the city to the ground. We trust
the necessities of the war will not require
such destruction Of property. Before we
close this article we must give the colored
troops the credit that belongs to them in this
storIniDg Of the enemy's entertainments. The
white soldiers expected to see them show the
white feather, as well as the whites of their
eyes, but no, these darkies fought bravely.
With q terrible yell, they charged under the
hot fire Of musketry and artillery, the rebel
ditch and parapet, drove the enemy, and cap
tured some big guns. After accomplishing
this work, they were overjoyed, and kissed the
guns they had taken, burning with vengeance
and desiring to push ahead and make further
captures. Their pluck was clear up to the
work, and knew. no shrinking. So much for
the colored troops who are fighting the battles
OF Freedom. 1t is high time for copperhead
croakers to stop their ISLANDERS on colored
troops who are bravely battling for the ma
TONS lie.

Aid for North Carolina Sufferers.

A few days since we printed extracts from
private letter written by field officer OF the
I'd regiment of loyal white soldiers Of North
Carolina giving some account OF the suf1erings.
and pIivations to which the wives and chill
dren OF the Union volunteers of that State
had been subjected. II may not be generally
known that there are already 10 the Federal
service two regiments OF loyal North Caroli-
ia troops, who have more than once given ey-
idence Of their devotion to the flag under
which they were enrolled, by persistent BRAY
cry in battle, and the most heroic endurance
OF suffering In captivity and death.
The writer of the letter is a citizen Of this
State, and graduate of Bowdoin College, and
has had the most abundant opportunity of
seeing the sufIerings to which he alludes. We
refer to his letter again at this time because
Its painful statements and urgent appeal for
help have re-enlisted the sympathies Of some
of our prominent citizens. A subscription
paper has been prepared, and may be found at
the Merchants Exchange. A response to this
appeal is earnestly solicited, and 1t is conf
IDENTIFY hoped that some portion Of the gener-
Gus cha tiles of our citizens may be given to
the families OF those brave men, who have not
only dared to resist secession on its own
ground, but have dared also to fight for the
stars and stripes. We who are far away from
the fields pressed by the feet or contending ar
mics, and Redeemed with the blood of human
sacrifices, who hear the echoes only of the re-
sounding artillery of war, and know by rumor
alone OF ravaged fields, Of plundered farms,
and OF exiled aud broken families, cannot re-
alize the actual horrors OF war as they are
presented to the people OF those States where,
for three years, the tide OF battle has ebbed
and flowed All honor to the brave men, few
10 number indeed, but beyond parallel In self
sacrificing devotion, who have stood firm
against the unceasing and fattering influences
OF the rebel traitors. Loyalty to us is an easy
matter, but to them II means brutal treatment
and death, and 10 their families exile, robbery,
actual hunger, and unceasing and persistent
abuse. We owe them our sympathy and sup
port They are not only fellow citizens under
the Constitution, but fellow soldiers with our
brothers and sons. Let us strengthen their
arms and cheer their hearts by proving that
we are not, and cannot be, indifferent TO the
sufferings and poverty for which their loyalty
is the only cause.

THE PENINSULA FoRrIFIcATIoNs. An
army correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle says, hundreds OF miles of earth
works have been built by the Army of the Po-
tomac within the last thirty days. From the
Rapidan to the Chickahominy these war fur
rows have mutilated and torn the bosom OF
Virginia. Twenty years hence, and the tourist
will delve the sandy soil for an old canteen, a
battered ball, a piece Of shell, or rusty bay
onet. These works are all strong-they are
permanent, and for centuries will be like
great seams upon the lands surface. The
men who built them, consecrated the ramparts
with their blood, and piled the trenches with
the rebel dead, will most of them have passed
mournfully away to join the solemn process
ion of generations. Now there can always be
found spot where the battle ragged hottest,
and the leaden death flew thickest. Twenty
mounds OF earth, each one marked by a hasty
unpretendng head-board, can always be seen.
In short time the elements will level the
rudely-shaped mound, and all that will betray
the quiet resting-place of the dead warrior
will be the unusual rankness OF the grass over
that spot beneath which reposes his toll and
warworn frame.
