Johnson, who was captured by Hancock,

and our correspondent, Mr.. Swinton,
was told by a rebel captain, who was
taken prisoner, that he assisted in his

we presume, that his wound was fatal

SMELLING THE ENEMY IN YER
GENEEs.-Editor Rutland Herald One
of the wealthiest citizens of Monk
ton, and notorious copperhead, was
rotten-egged in the streets last Saturday
for uttering disloyal sentiments.
While our brave boys are pouring shells
into the rebel ranks in Virginia, the loyal
people of Vergennnes are shelling the
rebels at home.
Popular verdict; served him right.
Let all of the same ilk take warning.

in hispresent position, the rebel com
mander is cut Off from all hope of sup
plies from Richmond. 1t was reported
on Friday that the rebel army had been
on short rations for three days and
was driven to a bold attempt to capture
our supply trains, which proved futile.
Gen. Sherdan's work adds most heavily
to Lees complications, and it is difficult
to see how, baffled, exhausted by the
terrible fighting of eight days, his army
short of supplies and possibly of ammu-
milton, dispirited, defeated, weakened by
fearful losses, the rebel general can much
longer oppose his present obstinate resist
ance to Grants progress. The cavalry
has played its important part in the
campaign and played it splendidly.

We should Judge from common report that the
Devil of Greed has fairly possessed some of our
landlords in the good city Of Macon Of late. The
Government in tying up the hands of producers of
military age to- sell their surplus only to itself or
soldiers families at Government prices has exposed
the few non producers in towns to the exactions of
a comparatively few producers above age, WAC, as.
sisted by the avaricous operations of middle men,
have brought things to such pass that non pro-
Queer, who is not Spectator, can live An artif-
cial famine will as certainly result from these com.
bined causes, as two and two make four. People
may persuade themselves that affairs can travel
along good while in such direction, but it is a
vain delusion. Society must soon become disorgan-
lied and go to pieces unless it be kept together
by producers, spectators, quartermasters and CON-
missaries All those classes Of men who make up
the connecting links must perish under the iron
heel of exaction and extortion.
From this gloomy prospect we turn away in
stinctively to clutch at the slightest prospect Of
peace. The winter of 1865, If we have to float
through it upon the CORY tide of war, will show
such record Of privation and suffering as earth's
history has seldom recorded. But mans extremity
is Gods opportunity, and we look hopefully for
light to break through the murky darkness Of the
future.-Aacon Telegraph.
