TILE WAR NEWS.

The movement just begun by the Army Of
the Potomac, and which seems TO promise such
important results, is one Of the expedients for
Obtaining advantage over the enemy for
which the Lieutenant General is so Justly
famous. II seems 10 US that the movement Is a
good one, and the fall Of Richmond LEE, with
very severe injury 10 the Rebel army under
her may follow the few days operations near
Richmond. General BUTLER is operating now
on the north bank Of the James river, using
canal which places his position within
ten miles Of the city and above Dutch
Gap. General HANCOCK, with three corps
Garnee, Is operating on the flank and
rear Of the enemy's works about Fort
Darling. The nrst and second lines have
been carried In assault by our troops, and
there is report that Fort Darling has been
captured. This Is probably premature, but
our successes win doubtless enable us to cut
OF communication between Richmond and
Petersburg, and, threatening the former, will
force LEE 10 concentrate In Chesterfield and
Henrico counties, and leave Petersburg un-
covered This Is evidently GRANTS design
In making the movement, and we believe il
viii be reasonably successful. Reinforcements
are being forwarded constantly to the Army
Of the Potomac, and all but the hundred days
men are at the front.
Admiral FARRAGUT's victory has been
complete. Forts Gaines and Powell are in
our possession. Fort Morgan must soon fall.
General GRANGER, with ten thousand vete-
= Tans, is moving upon Mobile, conveyed and
protected by q powerful feet Of gunboats
and we should not be surprised to hear that the
city fell into our hands on the 18th of August
If the "Oid Sdlamander' is allowed to attack
Charleston or Savannah next, and is allowed
10 have his own way, no one will doubt his
ability TO take either or both places In a short
time. "Hearts of iron in wooden ships" arc
trumps again.
General SHERIDAN is advancing rapidly
and successfully into the valley Of Virgins
with q large and effective army. He ha
determined to hold the mountain gaps Of tn
Blue Ridge hereafter, and keep the Rebel
from getting into the Shenandoah valley
These he can defend; but when we retire b
Maryland Heights we leave the whole coun
try open to the enemy. We believe tina
EARLY has made his last movement up the
valley, and we are glad to learn that he has
made but little by his last enterprise. He
may yet be made 10 suffer severely for hi,
temerity.
General SHERMAN is resting his army, and
holding General HOODS Rebel army in clos,
quarters, while General A. J. SMITH is coming
up In the rear Of the enemy from Holly
Springs, Mississippi, reaching and following
the line of the Memphis and Savannah rail
road.
The prospects for vanquishing the Rebels
before the close Of the year were never more
favorable, and If the people will but do all in
their power 10 assist the Commander-ln-Chief
THE wHl surely be the last year Of the war
An honorable peace can be made TO dawn
upon united country with the New Year o
1885.

The Dauo-German Question.

The German papers publish the prelimina-
ries of peace between Denmark and Germa-
ny, of which the following are the most i'm
portant points
The King of Denmark relinquishes his
rights over Schleswig- Holstein and Launen-
burg in favor of the Emperor of Austria and
the King of Prussia, and agrees to recognize
all arrangements made by the two latter Sow
ereigns with respect to the Duchies. The
surrender Of Schleswig includes all the is
lands belonging to that Duchy. Denmark al
so cedes the Jutland possessions to the south
of the southern frontier line of the District
of Ribe.
On the other hand, the German Sovereigns
consent to an equivalent portion of Schles-
wig being Incorporated into Denmark
The debts contracted on account of Dem
mark proper, or the Duchies, will be borne
respectively by either of them. The debts
contracted on account of the monarchy, will
be proportionately divided between Denmark
proper and the Duchies, with the exception
of the loan contracted in England, in 1858,
which viii be paid by Denmark, and the
war expenses of the great German Powers,
which will be borne by the Duchies.
Both parties agree to an armistice on the
basis of the uti possidetis from the I'd of Au-
gust to the 18th of September, six weeks no.
tice to be given either side of the resumption
of hostilities.
Contributions will no longer be levied on
Jutland. The occupation by the allied troops
will be continued solely for military pur-
poses
1t is stipulated that the expense of pro-
visioning the troops will be borne by Jut-
land.
The prisoners of war are to be. set at liber-
ty ON condition of giving their parole not to
serve in the Danish army before the conclu-
sion of peace.
After the signature of the preliminaries,
the defnitive treaty fpeace is to be negotia-
ted at Vienna
The Rigsdad ASSEMBLY for Denmark prop
er) was opened on the 9th by the King. His
Majesty, in his speech to the Assembly, said:
Having been abandoned by all Europe, we
are obliged to seek for peace with our over
towering enemy. 1t is hard to have to make
such sacrifices, but still harder to prosecute
the war. Union between the King and the
people may bring about happier future"
A number of soldiers, natives of Schleswig,
had been discharged from the Danish army,
and arrived at Rendsburg amid loud rejoic-
ings.

cost to in blood and treasure, Ola proc
longed war, can hardly be foreseen--the
economy is indefinite of such an effort as the
glorious North should put forth.
The South will fight as long as the struggle
is equal; IL ciA submit to such preponderanee
as we show in every field.
Glance at the summers campaigns. Ii
Sherman had but $4,000 or 75,O'D more men
near, the South would be lost, Hood would
be annihilated. If Meade had moved in the
spring with reserves at $4,000 TO 100000
men, Lee would have been hopelessly
crushed. Even at this moment third col
umn of 10000 to $4,000 rightly moved,
would give unopposed blows to the Confede-
racy from which she could never rise.
What folly then to struggle OF, IN this way,
when we can send TO the field five times the
force already there. Whatweakness to think
we cannot conquer the South Behlnd the
James only. BOYS and old men are to be seen,
while here men buy and sell as in the olden
days of quiet, and regiments OF able-bodled
citizens crowd the streets Of our cities.
There is but one course consistent with
safety and honor. Let the people awake to
a sense of their dignity and strength, and a
few months of comparatively trihing exer-
ton, OF such effort as alone is worthy of the
great work. and the rebellion will crumble
before us. Fill this draft promptly and will
lingly, with good and true men; send few
spare thousands over rather than under the
call, and the Summer sun of 1868 will shine
upon a regenerated land.
There are some who speak OF peace OF
all Yankees the Southron most scOrns those
who do not fight, but are glad enough to en-
ploy them, as they do their slavos, to per-
form their dirty work. Peace for the South
viii be sweet indeed; for us, except through
Southern subjugation, but anarchy and war
forever The Pacific, the Western, the
Eastern States would at once fall asunder.
The South would be dominant, and the peo-
pie of the North would deserve to be driven
a field under negro overseers, to hoe corn and
cotton for Southern masters.
But no faint hearted or short-sighted poll
cy can set aside the eternal DEGREES OF the
Almighty, who has planted no lines of disun-
ion between the Atlantic and the Western
deserts-between the Great lakes and the
Gulf of Mexico-that signify His will that
we should be separated; and unless so sepa-
rated peace is delusion, and its advocacy a
treason against.the wisest and holiest.interests
of our country.
1t has been with a trust that renewed hope
and vigor might be given, when vigor ana
hope are needful, that / have written, and you
have my consent to using this as you please;
and / am, Very truly yours,

Wool at New York.

From the United States Economist, Aug. 20.l
Our market has been very active the past week,
and prices are again higher. Manufacturers and
spectators ere still buying, though the former
more than the latter. Kersey and all descriptions
of wool have been purchased very largely. Fleece
wool that could have been bought last Friday at
81 coal 10, cannot to-day be had for less than
loGl 90, (and very few desirable parcels at the
inside rate), and newt week IL will be more The
tendency of all descriptions, domestic and foreign
is decidedly upwards, and manufacturers have at
last found it out, judging do by the rapidity
which they have been laying in supplies. 1t is
high time. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
It's little late, however, to pick mp cheap par
ceis, but before having to pay much more there
has been a IS rush made,n and the result is that
over half million pounds of domestic and up
wards OF one million pounds of foreign have chang.
ed haRds. Steam Is and in earnest The
week past has probably been the most active one
in ten. Brokers report buster time than for q
animated business in wool is the extreme prices
demanded by holders. The fact that wool is going
20 DE higher has seemed TO come home to the minds
OF manufacturers more clearly this week than ever
efore, but he who buys wool the next ninety days
will have TO pay for it. We have new advices
to offer We still urge buying, and consider the
staple cheap. Holders generally are not pressing
their woolon buyers. Importers of foreign not
at all anxious to sell, feeling confident that their
stocks will all be wanted, and that they will be
able to get their own figures by waiting We think
this good sense on their part

I" AN ADMIRAL OF THE 0LDEN TINE. On
account of his glorious achievements in this
war, stout old Admiral Farragut stands
among the gallant Jack Tars of the Union, as
General Grant stands among our generals-at
the head of the roll of honor" The fear
full fiery ordeal from enflading fortresses,
rebel rams, turtles, gunboats, floating bate
ries and RATS of flaming comb1stibles through
which the fearless Farrague fought his way
up to New Orleans, with his wooden ships
and iron hearts," made him the hero of the
most wonderful naval victory on record.
There is nothing to compare with it in the
naval achievements of any other nation. His
running of the gauntlet of the rebel batteries
at Port Hudson with his good ship Hartford
was also daring and most perilOus feat, but
a most important success in reference to the
reduction of both Vicksburg and Port Hud-
son. In his late brilliant victory below Mo-
bile we have another exhibition of the same
great qualities of skill, discipline, bOldness,
GOODNESS and terrible energy in battle. The
good old flagship Hartford, here again, did
the lions share of the work. How she fought
and conquered we need not here repeat.
But, as reported, there is one incident of this
fight which We cannot pass over. 1t is said
that on entering into the engagement, Admit
raj Farragut had himself tied fast among the
rigging of his ship; that his feet pilot fol-
lowed his example; and thus, from their ele-
waited positions, they were enabled to note all
the movements of the enemy's ships, and
through a speaking tube to the deck to di
rect the movements of our own. We have
often heard of mailing the flag to the mast,
but never before Farragut haye we heard of
an Admiral entering into heavy battle tied
fast among the rigging. Apart from this in
cident, however, the victory of Mobile Bay
adds new lustre even to the glorious name of
Farragut.

A PIECE OF REBEL DEMONSTRATING the
battle ON the Weldon Railroad, on the 21st,
the rebels were guilty of a most outrageous
piece of treachery, the story of which is
thus told by the New York Heralds cores
pendent:
'The rebels found themselves under a
quadruple fire of musketry and artillery,
which caused them to throw down their
pieces, and they raised their arms in token Of
surrender Gen. Cutler sent Capt. Daley, of
his staff, to receive them as prisoners, our
men having ceased firing. Capt. Daley told
the rebel Gen. Haywood that he had been
sent to receive him and his brigade as prison
ers. Without saying word, Haywood drew
his revolver and shot Capt. Daley. The Cap
tain lived half an hour, but long enough to
make his statement. Haywood, following the
shooting of Daley, called his men to pick up
their muskets and fall back, which order they
attempted to obey. Our men again fred,
when they again threw down their pieces,
and this time gave themselves up as prison
ers. This second volley added large num-
bers to their killed, and among them was
Haywood, who was shot through the head.
The prisoners numbered between 500 and 600.
After two hours fighting, the battle ended"
