SHERMANs CAMPAIGN.-A correspon-
dent sums up Gen. Sherman's great cam
paign as follows:
"The army of the Mississippi has
made tremendous campaign. 1t NOV
ed out of environments on the first Of
May, from quarters scattered from De-
catur to Knoxville; has marched with
only the necessities and none of the COM
forts Of campaigning, over mountains,
through gorges, and gaps, and ravines;
made bridges and forded streams; used
all sorts of travelled and bride path
roads; scaled precipices and made roads
for itself in the widest of countries, a
land Of hills and streams; has fought a
large, well appointed, well differed
army at Dalton, at Resaca, at Dallas /;
received battles whenever and wherever
offered; pursued it as often as it retreat
ed, and so far outgeneraled the enemy
from every good position, and is now a
good hundred miles, as the crow flies,
from it's original base of supplies, and
but thirty five from Atlanta. And that
army, as / write you, is as strong in
numbers, as sound in health, as conf
dent in heart, as the day it took the
field"

The NEGRO SoLDIERs.-A correspon-
dent OF the Springfield Republican,
speaking OF Gen. Smiths attack upon
the works before Petersburg, says:
"Gen Smith shows his appreciation
of the days work by remarking that it
was one of the greatest of the war
He said: 1t will make the old army Of
the Potomac open its eyes wide The
earthworks so successfully carried are
regarded as the most formidable the ar
my has yet encountered during this
campaign. The success has a peculiar
value and significance from the thor
Dug test it has given of the efficiency of
negro troops Their losses were heavy.
In the thickest of the fight and under
the most trying circumstances they new
er flinched. The old army of the Poto-
mac SO long prejudiced and so obstinate
ly heretical on this subject stand amazed
as they look ON the works captured by
the negroes, and are now loud and unre-
served in their praise, As near as I can
make it out, Duean's brigade alone took
six redoubts or edans with their con-
Meeting rife pits and captured eight
pieces of artillery. Gen. Smith, speak
ing of their conduct, said: "No nobler
effort has been put forth to-day and no
greater success achieved than that of the
colored troops" From SO reticent an
officer this testimony is invaluable"

DEMOCRATIC Conference.-The Hi
nois Democratic State Convention, to
choose delegates to Chicago, had a
stormy time between the peace and war
men. They managed, however, to avoid
making an issue by postponing the
adoption of any resolutions. But the
dispatch announcing the return of Val
landigham was too much for the pru-
dence of the managers, and it was voted,
amid great sensation, to sustain and
stand by the copperhead martyr. The
same stormy scenes were also witnessed
in the Missouri Democratic Convention,
where the Fremont operators were busy.
But the latter were shown the cold
shoulder. 1t was decided to frame no
platform, and the convention adjourned
pending resolution instructing the
Chicago delegates to vote for no candi-
date unpledged to stop this infamous
war. All these things betoken lively
time at Chicago.
The Maryland Democratic Convention
was very slim affair, only fourteen out
of the twenty-five counties being repre-
sented Two of the delegates chosen
have been inmates of Fort Warren, ar
rested for disloyalty, and another is Har-
ris, the most bigoted copperhead in Con-
gress. In fact, the convention was as
near seeessionist as anything which can
be witnessed on loyal ground.-Bostos

dred there is large corral. where all
disabled and worn out horses-brought
here by Gen. Sheridan after his famous
raid-are confined. The poor beasts
have apparently but little Of their origi-
nal vigor left. That was what we thought
q week or more since. Now we have
changed our opinion. During the heavy
firing on our right, short time since,
these lame and worn out equine war
riors pricked up their ears, Strengthened
their sore and stiff limbs, tossed their
names, formed in squadrons, and with a
loud snort charged on number of inof-
fensive mules. Two mules were in
stantly killed, and the others fled in the
widest disorder. The horses again
formed to the music of Gillmores artil-
lery, and charged on a high rail fence,
which they at once broke down. They
did not desist from their warlike demon
STATIONS until the artillery firing ceased.

How THE MARIPosA VEIN Has BEEN
WORKED. --Thurlow Weed is punishing<
his rivals in New York of the radical
psrsuasion by exposing some of their
operations in which patriotism and
mammon were rather unequally mixed.
If what he tells in the following para
graph about large drafts on Gen. FIRE.
ment's Mariposa mines is true, they
must be nearly exhausted by this time,
and not enough hard cash left to pay
the expenses of very brilliant presi-
Dental campaign for the radical de-
mocracy." Mr.. Weed says: ..
"More than year ago, Mayor opdyke
and others reminded Gen. Fremont that
when candidate for president in 1856,
he was weakened by pecuniary embar-
easements and that as his friends in
tended to run him again, it would be
wise to put his affairs into a better
shape. The general assented, CIV
ing to Messrs Opdyke, Morris Ketch-
UNI and D. D. Field schedule of his
debts. These friends formed themselves
into Mariposa mining company, mort
Yaging the mines for 81 500, 900, with the
proceeds from which all the generals
debts were to be paid. But difficulties
arose, which, however, were adjusted by
the payment by Gen. Fremont, of s.
100000 in Mariposa stock to Messrs %
dyke. Ketchum and Hoey, and counsel
fee Of 100000 to David Dudley Field,
Esq. And, said the confidential and real
friend of Gen. Fremont, who gave me
this information, there were other eX-
actions and extortions during the nego-
tiations that would make Jews blush. +"
So that in training Gen. Fremont for the
presidential course, his grooms received
gratuity of S2,600,000. How pleasant
it must be for Messrs Opdyke and
Ketchum to see their watered Mariposa
stock going though Wall and William
street like "swill milk" through q ten
ement block, or Parker Vein" in its
balloon glory ~

evening the Senate struck out the first
section of the bill repeating the $500
clause of the enrolment law by vote of
q to 18. Among the yeas we notice the
names Of Senator Foot and Collamer.
So the Senate refused to repeal the
communication clause. 1t may be recon-
sidered, as there were several Senators
absent who are believed TO be in favor
of the repeal. The indications, however,
are that if the vote of the Senate should
be reconsidered, the House will vote
against the repeal.

ANDY JGHNsoN's ELoeUENCE. - The
Tennessee patriot, so fifty selected as the
Union candidate for vice president, has
the two indispensable elements of the
popular orator--earnestness and genuine
sympathy with the people, of~yhom he
is one. The following outburst in his
recent Nashville speech is represented to
have fired the audience, as we should
suppose it must:
"My countrymen my heart yearns
toward you; / love you; am one of
you. / have climbed yonder mountains
that you have climbed, yonder noun
tains rock-ribbed and glowing in the
sunshine, in whose gorges, in whose
caverns, your sons, hunted like wild
beasts, have fallen to rise no more. |
do not speak of these things to draw
your tears. 1t is not time for tears, but
for blows. I.speak of them that may
fire your heart with holy indignation,
ana nerve yaur arms for unconquerable
fight. And / speak Of them secause the
mountains seem to talk to me. MY
home is among the mountains, and
though it is not far away, | cannot go
to it, It is the place where ! met her,
and loved her, and married her who is
the mother Of my children. Do not
love the mountains, then? And if liber-
ty is to expire, if freedom is to be de-
stroyed, if my country, in all its length
and breadth, is to tremble beneath the
oppressors' tread, let the flag, the dear
old flag, the last flag, be planted on yon
rocky nights; and upon it let there be
this inscription: Here is the end of all
that is dear to the heart and sacred to
the memory Of man."

TIM DIryxRRxsR.-T The ardent ad-
mirers Of Mcclellan. who strive to ele-
vate him by depreciating every subse-
quent commander Of the Army Of the
Potomac, are charging Grant with a
useless waste of life and time, in lighting
and fianking" his way to his present
position, instead of going directly there
up the James River The answer Is
easy and more than satisfactory. BY
the course he has taken, Gen. Grant has
crippled Lee, broken up the railroad
communications and stripped the coun-
try north of Richmond, so that he can
safely assume his present base without
danger of an advance of Lee northwards.
Lee could not in movement north sup
ply his forces from the desolated coun-
try, he could not transport supplies by
the broken railroads he would be COM
PEELED to 60 on foot and move his sup
plies on wagons, supposing he has them
and the necessary horses, neither Of
which he is supposed to possess and
under these circumstances, with Grant
on his rear, and his own army more or
less crippled and exhausted by losses
and severe fighting, he is not likely to
try northern invasion, although there
is no army between him and Washing
ton. The result is that it is no longer
necessary to divide our army that apor-
ton may defend Washington while ,ne
other portion is lighting Lee. Again, in
regard to the peninsula route, II Grant
had adopted that in the outset, there
would have been the necessity of cover.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL
The st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN narrates
the extraordinary efforts of youthful
criminal, named William Kingston, to
effect his escape from the jail IN that
place, where he was confined for break
ing and entering a building at Island
Pond. He had previously been in con-
finement at the Jail in Essex, and while
there, and heavily handcuffed, made
key from the wire of an old broom, and
succeeded in unlocking his shackle with
that instrument, and then in making his
escape. He was retaken, however, ana
since his being held in custody at st.
Johnsbury, which term began May "a,
he has repeatedly broken, or otherwise
severed his manacles, and on one occa-
sion nearly accomplished design to es-
cape by saving off the bars of his cell
window with an old razer- blade, which
he had concealed in the sole of his boot.
Subsequently to the above he snapped
asunder common draft-chain Win
which he had been fettered, and with an
old spike dug out the mortar from De-
tween the solid granite slabs composing
the walls of his dungeon to the thick
ness of sixteen inches, making hole al
most large enough to pass his arm thro',
with the purpose, as he said, of letting
in little light. He has since been re-
moved to the new Jail at Irasburg,
where it is believed he will be securely
held until the expiration of the term ior

THE FAIR AND SUPPER-Like the man
who gave marriage feast in Cana,
great many yearsago, and passed around
the best wine last, the ladies who man
aged the Fair and Supper, made the
closing night the most attractive and
magnificent.
The crowd was larger, and the SPLEEN
dor of the articles on sale more elegant
and desirable. The Hall was densely
crowded, and the Kitchen Cabinet" and
the charming attendants were in even
greater request than on the previous
evening. The Crescent City Band, al
ways admirable, excelled itself in charm.
ing the vast crowd with the eloquence and
poetry of its music, while the. string band
gave an ineffable charm to the scene.
In our report of yesterday morning,
we omitted many names which deserved
honorable mention.
Two Of the most attractive tables fol
the sale of articles, owed their magnifi
cence in a great measure, to the skill
and excellent taste of Miss Gertrude
Babcock and Miss Kate Laughlin, ant
still another reflected the genius of Mis-
Wilson.
The superior excellence of the pre-
pared dishes, was tribute Of praise t.

Sharpe, Mrs Jewell and their associates
