! THERE is no intermssion and hardly even lull in
the fighting in Virginia. OF this the telegraph will
inform ourreaders. GRANT wants to finish up bis CAM
paign before the dog-days catch him 10 the swaDps of
| the Chickahominy. GRANT is famous for finishing
things mp. He promised to keep fighting on the Fred
ercksburg line, il it took all summer to reach Rich
mond by that route He tried for three weeks and
having voted call summer" gone, changed his line
and bis base. He has intimated that be will take
Richmond by the 4th of July. He must hurry that
matter up, for the time draws near and there is good
deal yet to be done. He csnnot eford TO enjoy bis
otaum cum dignttate. He m ust keep "pegging away;
and he does and pW keep at it. Work, fight, try-no
matter how many men are lost. What does
GRANT care for men He has already sa-
crifced over seventy thousand men in one brief cam
paign, and hos achieved no result We veritably be
lieve that he would be willing to sacrifice two hundred
thousand men, exchange for the possession Of Rich
mond But Richmond is an old bird, and will not let
either GRANT BUTLER or any other man throw SAT-
on its venerable tail.
The fatality among general and field officers during
the present campaign has been without example in tie
history of this perhaps of any other war, and few
States have lost more severely than North Carolina
The enemy, too, has suffered heavily in this way
Among the last but far from the least of losses s
occasioned by the recent woundng of General LANE,
well and favourably known here as the Colonel of
the 28th Regiment. We trust that his wound may
turn out to be less serious than has been appehended
We can i'll afford to lose such men.
Sunday appears to be regarded as the great day of
battles and most people look for stirring between
this writing Saturday afternoon) and Monday morn
ing. OF course whatever comes will be found under
our Geographic head.
Certainly, things have drawn to two pointa-one
East at Richmond, and one West in Northern Georgia
All by.pays scam for the time to be and at rest,
unless in SO far they tend to affect the issue between
LEE and GRANT, and between JOHNSTON and SHERMAN.
FORREST may fall upon Middle Tennessee, sweeping
Railroads, depots, bridges, etc. MORGAN may make
progress through Kentucky, and yet FORREST and
MORGAN will really be fighting the same battle that
JOHNSTON is fighting. Like him they seek to ruin sHER
MANS campaign force him to retreat, scatter his army
and defeat bis plans and himself to boot.
The up.shot of all these things must come pretty
soon. Campaigns like those of 1864 in Virginia aud
Georgia cannot last long. They too violent aud
exhaustng for that Neither they be resumed very
soon after the game has been played out; the effort
made has been too great to permit early renewal of
violent exertions

WE don't know how it may be with other people, or

rs between third and half more in new issue than
it did in old, and this advance in the wages of our

Of living. We are now paying 81 so per thousand
ems which we believe is higher than paid at any other
point save Atlanta Perhaps as high may be paid at
some other point, but we are not aware of it.
This is bringing things down with vengeance, and
is particularly hard, when, from sundry causes bust
ness is unusually dull and money scarce aud hard to
get But we suppose it is our part of the fortune OF
war. It is seldom the luck of newspapers to make
much money, and it 81 certainly not their luck to do it
now. Their proprieora at least, cannot be classed
among the spectators who are growing rich off the
