WAR NEWS.

There is report that Sherman has cap
tured Atlanta aud Ii, COO prisoners. As we
have no intelligence Of this sort from the
authorities at Washington, we are disposed
to regard it as without foundation.
Our forces are in pursuit OF the retreating
rebel raiders, though without much hope of
efiecting more than the capture OF few
stragglers. In their demonstration on Wash
ington tho rebels lost over 1000 in killed,
wounded and prisoners.
Sheridan has started on another great raid
Grant is said to have used the following
language in conversation with well known
Senator the other day: lam just as GER
tain to take Richmond and crush Lees army
as tile sun is sure to rise" ....
Grant keeps up heavy cannonade on Pc
tersburg. Intelligence dated the 18th says
that the artillery firing Of that day lasted two
hours, when our shells burst directly in the
rebel ernbrasures, destroying their cannon,
and forcing them to retire. They lost at
least six guns. The breastworks lately &C.
cupied by the enemy, bearing on our advance
towards Petersburg, have been leveled.

Mr. EDITOR From present appearances
the wheat crop will be total failure in some
parts of our State. The chinch-bugs are de-
stroying whole fields in a single day, and
their devastating presence is felt all over the
country. Pieces of wheat which looked
more than ordinarily promising week ago,
are now completely destroyed. During last
week saw the healthy, dark green, lnxuri-
ant wheat and oats, looking beautiful and
rich, turn pale, wither, and die, almost at
the touch Of the destroying chinch bugs.
1t would seem exaggeration, and almost
incredible, to state how very prolific this de-
vouring insect is, their increase being 50 pro,
digiously great as to appear to be the work
of magic. This bug has some resemblance
to the bed bug, especially in the disgusting
SMELL The largest Of them are as large as
common housc.fy two thirds grown. When
full grown, arc black, with white wings;
when about half grown, are of redish color.
They creep on the ground, seldom using
their wings. Whatever crop they get into,
they generally stick about the plants near
the ground, although they sometimes are
found scattered all over stalks of corn, the
blades, and even down into the buds. When
they attack wheat or oats, they will cluster
around the stalk in incredible numbers and
suck the sap from it, which SO suddenly
changes it from the dark green to the ap-
pearanco of being dead ripe. In one day
and night they have been known to advance
ten to fifteen yards, destroying as they went:
When they finish field Of wheat they viii
take up their march for another. They
travel rapidly, and can make good distance
in day, saw in an Iowa City paper few
DAYS ago the manner Of their crossing a
stream Of water. 1t said there was stream
of water across their course, and, although
they do not swim, they entered the water
and foated down the stream until they were
lodged on points of the opposite side, when
they crawled out and pursued their way.
On Sunday last, our townsman Mr.. Sloan,
called my attention to myriads Of the detcst-
able insects flying in the air, going with the
wind, in Northerly course. So look out,
Northern farmers, for havoc and devastation
to your crops. r .......
Unless some kind dispcnsation Of Provi-
dence delivers us from this ruthless enemy
to the farming interests, it is impossible to
say to what extent their rayages will extend
in the course of a few years. Any attempt
hitherto made to arrest their progress, or
destroy them, has proved abortive. Not be-
ing able to find any scientific description OF
this insect and its habits, it would be well
for our farmers to study ,be workings of the
vermin, and to collect all information posi-
bic for future use. Al.

to be expecting word from me. Yis,
why not sure I served under his ancestor
George the Third and oil his SUCCESSORS
This last all but upset my strictly clerical
propriety and moved or, leaving the Irish
man of IS years who had served under

alone in his curbstone glory. Michigan Av-
enue is lined with troes. There are many
expensive residences; some Of them may be
called magnificent They are OF wood, and
brick, and granite. The first thing seen at
the water works is a shaft, sunk 20 #. The
object is to get water two miles out from the
shore of the lake and the plan is to do this
by tunnel under the lake, In first 80 it.
Of shaft, there are three iron cylinders, each
10 #. long, It. diameter, ~ inches thick,
weighing Is tons each. The tunnel begins
with six feet in the clear thence, five feet.
From the clay that is drawn out they make
the brick with which to construct the duct.

feet deep. The duct or tunnel is A feet be.

the lake. One mile from shore, so IT. water;
duct 80 feet lower. One and o half miles
from shore, 81 feet water; duct 80 #. lower.
Two miles from shore, 35 feet water duct
81 feet lower. Three miles from shore SO
feet water; duct 25 feet lower. Two and a
half miles from shore, there is to be crib

outside to outside. This is to. be sunk below
the bottom of the lake enough to allow the
work of excavation to be carried on from
that point until they meet the party who
work from the shore outward. BY this means
pure water can be reached, as it is known
that the water two miles from the shore is
pure in all seasons and in every kind OF
weather. The work may be completed in
Two years. If you take a pencil and note
the measurements given above, you can cast
ly get an outside view Of the course OF the
bottom Of the lake and Of the tunnel. For
the information received, am indebted
mainly TO Mr.. John p. Offerman, Superin-
tendent of the work.

raising the grade is going on rapidly. The
whole city will be high and dry within ten

THE NEWS.

The splendid army under Gen. Sherman
moves steadily forward into Georgia. The
last difficult natural barrier which stood be-
tween Sherman and Atlanta--the CEattahoo-
chez river has been passed without loss. 1t
appears that the infallible experiment OF
flank movement not only resulted in driving
the main body Of the enemy away, but in
capturing detachment Of some three or four
thousand rebels that failed 20 move Of. At
lanta is next to Richmond the most impor-
tant city in Sccessia. 1t is the focus Of the
military system Of Georgia, and the seat Of
numerous army factories, foundries, machine
shops and mills, and contains about $4,000
inhabitants We presume that Sherman's
army has laid siege to Atlanta by this time,
if the rebels have made stand there. Since
our army has got out Of the mountains and
south of the kenesaw ridge, Sherman's army
will be able to reap the fruits of it's superb
GRITTY of Numbers over the enemy. John
.tons forces are known TO number about
46 600 men. Sherman is strong enough to
hold on the front and attack him on the
faux at the same time. If he can force
Johnston's army to fight pitched battle he
will destroy it. After Atlanta falls he may
move eastward for Augusta and Savannah,
while Smith and Rosseau's columns march
on Montgomery and Mobile. The campaign
in Georgia looks Hattering. We wish that
of Grant in Virginia was getting along as
we'll His is undoubtedly made the harder
task by the determination Of the enemy to
risk everything else and save their capital
We have from the first sought to impress
upon our readers the gravity Of the task set
before GRAFT. 1t will be by far the best
frame of mind in which to receive and act
upon either issue that may come. The mill
tary authorities at Washington accepting it,
will keep continually increasing tho volume
Of our armies, and the people understanding
it, will sustain The Government in whatever
measures may be necessary to carry on the
war We are too old in this conflict not to
begin to understand that it will tax every
energy of this nation, and require all pc.
tencs, earnestness and fortitude to crush
this rebellion, and yet to do so will be worth
a million times its cost.
Men we must have, more men, or our cam
paign will wilt and dwindle midway, even il
we do not now find great and telling blows
on the enemy, pausing in middle swing be-
cause more power is needed. We shall be
glad to chronicle the draft as arrived, and
count every day lost of the fifty, which by q
timid and faltering Congress were allowed tc
interpose between our necessities and thci,
supply. Chicago Tribune, 18th inst.

TuE Cerro Gordo county Republican has
an account Of the arrest of a Geo. w. Brizee,
representing himself as in the employ Of L.
L. Brown, well known in the northern part
of the State as Attorney for the American
Emisrant Company. Brzee endeavored to
bride the Clerk and Treasurer Of Hancock
county to issue $4,000 in county orders, on
which amount they were each to receive 10
per cent, and the orders to be disposed of
through other persons, to parties in New
York. The county officers, however, were
incorrup,ible and procured the arrest of Bri'
zee, who it appears is but the tool Of Brown
and others, and after making affidavit dis
closing the plans and purposes of his en-
ployers, Brizee was released. 1t appear. that
the same parties procured $40 900 in orders

THE MARYLAND RAID PLAYED

The rebel raid into my Maryland" which
80 badly frightened our eastern friends is at
an end, and Washington is safe. There are
still conflicting reports as to the strength of
the invaders. but it is evident that their NUN.
bers were greatly over estimated, and that
probably ten thousand men is fully as many
as they had Some incline to the opinion
that the rebels really intended the capture of
Baltimore and Washington, but their plans
miscarried. Others that it was merely a
freebooting excursion for the purpose Of ef-
feet and booty, and this appears to be the
most sensible conclusion, and viewing the
matter in this light, the raid was a success,
for they secured, it is estimated, in horses,
cattle, hogs, and miscellaneous articles, at
least four million dollars worth of plumber.
There are still others that maintain that this
movement was simply reconnaissance in
force, and that with their numbers largely
sweled, the rebels will shortly return COM
manded by Lee in person, and attempt the
capture of the National Capital. This last
superstition, like the first, We believe to be
all bosh. 1t was intended for cavalry raid
to secure supplies, and inflict blow on the
North. This much was successfully accom-
plished 1t was fair set off to the gallant
raids Of Sheridan and Wilson about Rich.
