ARD +. GILL received ball in his head, and
fell dead instantly, while fighting bravely in
the ranks. He was the son of Daniel and
Lorinda l.. Gill, of this city, and was wor-

broke out, he promptly volunteered in the lst
Maine regiment, and was out for three
months. Returning in October, 1861, he en-
listed in the 18th Maine for three years. His
parents have the testimony of his officers,
that he was respected and beloved by all the
regiment; and also, that he was not off duty
for single day since he enlisted! His tenn
perance principles were triumphant through
out, and he never tasted Of intoxicating liquor

boldly into battle, and was the first two days

a few days since, Senator Wade,
'of Ohio, paid a visit to Grants army
before Petersburg. The Senator went
feeling very blue on account Of the
supposed failure Of the Lieutenant
Generals campaign against the rebel
capitol; he returned feeling so very
joyous over something he had learned
there, that he found it extremely DIFF
iicull to keep from telling his secrets
to every correspondent that beset him.
The feelings Of Senator Wade when
he went 20 the Army Of the Potomac
were very similar TO the feeling en-
tertained by great portion Of the
people during the past few weeks Of
inactivity and the frame OF mind in
which be returned was very much
ike the public feeling Of today, as the
wires flash over the country the news
that active operations have once more
auspieiously commenced. The only
fear which the people have had was
that Grant might not have force
enUUgn Tor The work before him and
they still feel assured that as long as
he is strong enough to fight, he is all
right.
BY another one Of lis brilliant flank
movements, Gen. Grant threw his
right wing up the James River to
within a few miles Of Richmond, thus
enabling himself to operate at will on
either bank Of tie james, and compel
ing the enemy 10 deiach large force
from the army at Petersburg for the
| immediate defence Of Richmond. The
great battle at Petersburg commenced
with the blowing up Of one the large
forts Of the enemy and The immediate
assault Of the ninth corps. Three
lines Of works were carried, and at
last accounts everything was going on
successfully. In the siege thus be-
gun, which may prove the greatest
siege Of modern times, tie country
has every confidence IN The talents Of
its great commander.
