GENERAL RuCkIANn.

The following complimentary notice of Gen.
BUcKLANDs nomination in the 9th Congressional
District, we clip from the Memphis Bsdletin.-
Our nominee is well worthy the encomiulns be-
slowed by the Bulletin:
The Union Convention for the 9th Congress-
ional District of Ohio, has unanimously nomi-
mated Gen. Bucklsnd to represent them in the
next Congress of the United States
We have not learned whether General Buck
land has consented to accept the nomination, but
should he do so, his known worth and popular
ity VIII, doubtless secure his election, in which
event. we are confident Congress would have no
more faithful, patriotic and laborious Represen-
tative than he. His long and distinguished mil
itary services, combined with his rare legal ac.
quireinents peculiarly fit MIN for services in the
national councils during this desperate struggle
for national existence.
His administration of military affairs in this
District during the last twelve months, has beer
successful TO a degree that has been rarely at
tanned by commanders of military posts, and hii
removal from among us, even 10 serve his coun,
try in as useful and no less distinguished posi-.
ton, viii be matter of very general regret to al
classes of our citizens.

THE NEWS.

During the past week the news has not been
very string. GeA Grant has successfully ell
ected another flank movement on the enemy,
which he has been enabled to take possession of
the Weldon Railroad and advance his extreme
left to within two miles of Petersburg. About
thirty miles of the Weldon RailrOnd has been
efFectuaIIy destroyed This leaves the rebels
only the Lynchburg road from which TO draw
supplies, and Gen. Grant has sent out an ample
force to destroy that This movement to the
left was not effected without considerable fight
ing in which our army was highly successful.
The rebels lost heavy in killed, and many Pris-
oners-6OO being captured in one body. Our
loss was not heavy. Grants operations north
the James river were only feint 70 cover his
movements South of Petersburg.
Matters in the Shenandoah valley remain
pretty much as they were last week. Sheridan
has had some desultOry fighting in the vicinity
of Charlestown and Martinsburg, but nothing
Of a decisive character. Both armies confront
each other along the Potomac.
From Mobile we have news that our Fleet
and land forces have invested Fort Morgan,
with the prospect of its speedy reduction. The
rebels report that Union force is marching in
the direction of Mobile from Pensacola.
On the morning of the 2lst Gen. Forrest
with force 3, 900 strong, drove in the pickets
and dashed into Memphis, Tenn. He eluded
Gen. Smith at Oxford, and made aforced march
for Memphis, hoping to surprise and capture our
forces there. The attempt was complete fail
ure. Our troops attacked the rebels, killed
30 wounded 100, took some prisoners, and drove
them from the town. The loss ON both sides is
stated to be about equal. Our cavalry were
phrsuing the rebels. Gems. Washburne and
Buckland made narrow escape from being
captured, having left their heaquarters to rally
the men but a few moments before the rebels en-
tered them.
From Atlanta the reports state that every
thing is progressing favorably for us. No Sc
rious fighting within the last week.
Next Monday the Northern Rebel Conven-
ton TO nominate candidates for President and
Vice President, convenes at Chicago. For the
first Office, we think ''little Mack's'' chances
are the best but it is not cartain that he viii be
the successful man. A great crowd is anticipa-
ted to be present.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated New York,
Aug. oath, states that well authenticated re-
port is currant there, that the Government has
decided to send five commissioners to Richmond
three Democrats and two Republicans
arrange preliminaries for peace. Itisa also ru-
mored that the commissioners are on their way
TO Richmond.

Good Hi,.

Last Sunday the Rev. Mr.. McMullen
preached a war sermon in Lafayette, Ind,
in which he told the pious Copperheads
that in single battle fought by the He
brews $4,000 were slain and zoe, 900 car
ried into captivity. But the best thing he
told them was that intemperance carries of
100000 of our males every year, or more
than have fallen in battle for national life in
three years, and yet they have not howl
ed once about it.
