A RIGHTEOUS MorENENr.-We understand

A RIGHTEOUS MovEMENT.-We understand
a subscription is to be circulated through the
city next week to raise few hundred dol
lars for the benefit of our city fremen. The
case is this. At every fire, from one to a
dozen of the firemen, -generally those who
handle the hose,-ruin each coat or pair of
boots. At the Hossack fire, many had Just
got home from party, and had their best
clothes on, and we know of half dozen of
cases where the men lost from $40 to $50
worth Of clothing. The object of the propos-
ed subscription is, to purchase dozen or
two of coarse coats and pairs of boots to he
placed in the engine houses for the use part
iculary OF the hosemen at fires. Our firemen
are generally young men and mechanics,
who own little property and give their service
to save the property of others from motives
of almost pure disinterestedness. 1t is not
right that in addition to their gra.uious labor
they should be subjected to heavy expenses.
We hope the proposed subscription will be
literally received by our men OF property and
particularly insurance companies andagents.

manga he was buried of TO Richmond.
whore he endured for seven months The hor-
ross Of the Libby prison.. About that time,
Grant came laundering through the Wilder
ness, and Richmond becoming somewhat pa
nc stricken. the prisoners were hurried oil to
Macon. Il. c. was in q company Of about
1900 officers. They were taken to Macon,
and attera ,esiicHce there Of some four months
were taken 10 Charleston, and for about x
weeks placed under the fire Of the federal
guns. From this PLEASANT position they We're
removed 10 Columbia. whence, on tie 2Sth

bay at It's mouth, where they were picked up
by It federal gunboat. Mr.. c. came thence
to Washington, New Yark and home.
We should be more minnie in this sketch,
and give some account OF the treatment Of
the federal prisoners. in the South, as coming
within the immediate experience of II. G.. as
well'as some Of the stirring incidents 10y the

some evening mex, week to deliver aPublic
address on the subject, and it might mar the
interest Of it somewhat to anticipate what he
proposes to say then.
l.. C.. although sick during the greater
part Of his Imprisonment, returns home in
good health and spirits, and seems eager 10
get back among the boys Of the 10Th, who

The War.

The attempts by Gen, Grant to take Pc
tersburg by assault have thus far failed..-
On Friday last he was repused with great
loss. The works for the dcfehse Of the city
are said to be of the most formidable Char
acter, and defended by the whole rebel army
5000 men are said to have been killed and
wounded in the two unsuccessful assaults
made by Gen. Grant.
Gen. Hunters situation isquite critical.
Sheridan's Cavalry raid has turned out a
failure. Gen. Sherman is not, as has been
been reported, driving the enemy before him.
Taken in connection with the fact that we
have been told by our daily papers within
the past day or two that Petersburg was
captured, the Rebel congress, jeff. Davis,
and every body else was fleeing from Rich
mond-that Sheridan was playing the ms
chief with their Rail Road concentrations
and numberless other false and cooked up
yarns; we confess the above summary OF the
latest news, is most sickeniug, Our faith
in the ability of Gen. Grant to take the
" doomed city," as it has been called. at all
is very much shaken.
Why these unmittigated ba.e faced lies,
about the success of our armies, when defeat
and bloody, ruinous disaster has marked al
most every step it has taken since il left
