THINGS IN fANKERDoM.-From an article at
tributed, no doubt justly 10 Forney, in the
Washington Chronicle, it seems plain (says the
Charleston Courier that, notwithstanding the
.professed satisfaction of Lincoln with the con.
dtion and prospects of Grant and his army,
very serious alarm is felt in Washington for the
result OF the campaign against Petersburg
The article is addressed 10 people evidently
disturbed and agitated to the very bottom OF
their hearts, and finding 10 relief either in bul-
letins of Stanton or the apycbryphal reports Of
letter writers. 1t has leaked out, in spite of
all attemps to suppress it, that the slaughter
around Petersburg has been terrific beyond all
example, and so well is the truth understood
by all par<ies that Forney contents himself with
attempting to palate the effect he knows it
must produce, instead Of boldly denying it
His main TOPIC of consolation is that the slaugh
ter has been mutually heavy, which We know
to be utterly without foundation, for our own
losses have been light beyond all former exam.
