General Grants strategic victory.

We commented the other day on the
fact that General Grant had pushed his
lines to the left mile and half farther
than before, and that his artillery may en-
able him now to control the south-side
railroad. The manner in which this great
object was accomplished is thus explained

COLUMBUS Nov. g.
Another outrage and prObbale murder
has been committed by rebel sc9undrels in
the Fifth Enrolment District, It seems
that yesterday Deputy Provost Marshal
left St. Marys, Auglaize county, accom-
panied by two soldiers, for the purpose of
arresting deserter known to be secreted a
few miles from that place. Without much
trouble the deserter was found and secured,
and the party was soon on their way back
to St. Marys, when within short distance
of the town they were attacked by gang
of Copperheads armed with guns, rifles and
revolvers. The Deputy Provost Marshal
received three shots fred by these rebel
cut throAts, and at thelatest accounts it was
thought that he could not survive. oneof
the soldier was shot in the abdomen, SO
that there is no hopes of his recovery,
while the other soldier was severely
wounded in the thigh. The deserter, OF
course, was carried off by his friends.

District with a strong force at his COM
mand, has gone to arrest the the insur

claim to its confidence. If without calcu-
lating the chances of success or deieat;
if regardless of the effect his opinion might
have on the ballot he had denounced a
suspen sion of hostilities with 3 disinterest-
ed sud courageous frantness, and declined
the nomination on the conditions annexed
to it as an impeachment to his patriotism
and his judgement, he would have gained
an elevation of greater bonor III the eyes OF
countrymen than any measure ofpolitical
success could give him But he accepted
the nomination without dissenting from
the resolutions, thus making himself par
tv TO them and causing some Of his best
friends TO doubt whether he has the firm
ness and dindependencen necessaryto carry the
country successfully through the dangers
by which it is surrounded. Regarding him
as the exponent ef opinions and purposes
which we conceive to be Of fatal tendency,
and believing, whatever may be his pri-
vate convictions or his personal good quail
tiles, that the want of decided purpose his
letter of acceptance disel-sss, would insure
his submission to the influences which con-
trolled the Conventiong we reject his NOM
