FROM Northcrnspapers of the llth, received

There.are serious apprehensions regarding

The Chicago Times of the 9Th makes the
following editional comments on the situation: {:
Aner FIVE weeks, Grants prospects of success
ore un;mproyed. His present position after
his detest at the Wilderness, is result of
necessity. He has precisely the same obsta-
cles to encounter as at first. The siege of
Richmond s not begun. When the new tax
and tariff bills take effect the people will
realize tho cost of the war. Despite enor-
nous taxes and duties the expenses of the
Government will continue TO exceed the re-
ceipts by two millions per diem The public
credit cannot long endure sl.ch strain with.
out a prospect ofrelief. The financial stua.
ton, the enormous tax and deprecated cur
rency, theawful magnitude Of an accumula.
ting debt and the imminence ofan explosion.
more destructise than any Country haszeyer
known, arc bringing people to thor senses.
The reelection of Lincoln decides the cont;n.
uance ofthe war, till national bankrus.cy and
/. exhaustion close it. The capture of Richmond
and Atlanta, of Lee and Johnston's armies.

OBITUARY. :,

KILLED ON Monday the 23d OF May, II. A.
STROM, of-Co. D, 14th Regiments. CIV.
Few have fallen since the commencement of
the prseent struggle more lamentsd and beloved
than he was. He was a soldier from the earliest
date of the war. No duty was too hsGvy for his
willingness to perform. What q record is this,
Regiment Of friends! A Regiment of mourning
hearts! No enemy to exult over his untimely
grave. Sunshine and brightness seemed always
to follow him, and it was almost incradulous,
whilst looking on that bright happy face, to
imagine that ought of sorrow, or suffering, or
death could come near him.: guti alas! peer
Grs has fallen. But GOD, in his wisdom, bus re-
moved him thus early from world of sin snd
SORROW to onsof everlasting happiness and peace.
Long, long will he be missed by his fricads and
comrades, and longer SELL will he be missed by
his father and mother. THOSE who have drank
of the same bitter cup can alone understand and
sympatLss with his bereayed parents and sisters
and brothers, to when he was everything that q
devoted son and brother should be. May God
comfort them in this dark hour. Then, beloved
ones mourn not fog the lost ono; initiate his bra
very and his virtures, and strive to meet him in
that happy land on high where We truat his spirit
is now basking in the sunlight of Gods favor.
"Forget thee! Oh when life shall cease to thrill
tkiy heart of mire,-
But not till then can forget one look or teneDf
thins
Oh, no it ninglea with the sound of everything
Thear.
And think ye can forget him Hove so dear.
Forget thee lis bitter uord,-I would it we're
unsaid,- -
FOrgetfuinsss i. not With life. but with the silent
dead;
.hen may cease to think of thee as earthly msr-
tails do,
But oh, xell meet, I trust in heaven, With hearts
unchanged and true" T. j. S.

Since yesterday, nothing Of. great interest has
! trsnspired
Is.d,y there has been sono cannonading and
also alight skirmishing.
Yesterday Gen. Meade sent aagiof truce to
Gen. Beauresa:d, requesting permission to bury
his dead, which was not granted. y
The City Council 10 day bcld ameeting and
sent committee to Gen. Beaurogard to ask ad-
vice in regard to the removal 0f non-eambatants'
Gen. B. r.plioi that no notice, had been given
by the enemy Of their purpose to shell the city.
But it would be prudent for those who. could to
leave the lower part Of the city, and for the wo-
.mcn and children to regain in the cellars.
1 Very few ahells have been thrown in the city
to-day.
Grants lines reach from the James River across
the AppomxttoY to within two miles of the Vel

don Railroad.
Advices from Liberty this morning say that
Hunter had been. pursued through that place;
thar he was rstreating tvwards Buford Gap in
considerable confusion; that some prisoners had
been taken and that doubtless more would be.
The enemy at ttis writing seemed to be moving
toHaris the Weldon Railroad.
Our Generals will doubtless be prepared fsr
them.
Authentic information Of Sherdan's movement,

He passed through Bowling Green en- Thurs.
day, and arrived at Newton, in King and Queer
