Ihe position Of Sherman and Hood
WAR DEPARTMENT.,
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.
Major General Dir, NcU York:
The following dispatch has been received
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 17-3 Z. NJ.
Hoods main force was about Lafayette
last night and Sherman's at Ship Gap. The
report Of yesterday that Hood was APP
preaching Carpenters Ferry was mistake
He had not crossed Lookout Mountain last
night.
f.. j. M. SCHoTIELD, Maj. Gen.
The following is another official dispatch,
dated Chattanooga, yesterday:
left Gen. Sherman at Ship Gap, in Tay-
lor's ridge, at dark last night. The army
are all right and in the best of spirits.
Hood won't fight, though offered repeatedly
him very cautious.
Gen. Slocum is all right at Atlanta, with
plenty of provisions and forage.
Hoods raid has produced no military re-
suit as yet. If he wants to invade Tennes-
see, as he has promised his men, he will
lose by dcsertion twice as many as he has
captured. The losses in men thus far have
been in our favor.
Hood demanded, over his own signature,
the surrender of Resaca and Dalton, and
said that if surrendered the white officers
and men would be paroled in few days,
hut that If the post was carried by assault
no prisoners would be taken.
Rome is all right.

THE CITY.
the coNscRIPTIoN.
The Provost,s Churn Again in Motion
-Thirty~Six Men Drafted from the
Ninth wnrd-Miami Township,
ra gg tirecnc County, Drafted.

The fatal Conscription churn was again
put in motion at the City Hall yesterday,
and, as usual, the Ninth Ward suffered Sc
verely. This is the fourth time the Ninth
Ward has caught it. Notwithstanding
the regular draft and u surplus of one hun
dred per cent. drawn few weeks ago, the
Ward was again drafted to make up for
those who were exempted or ran away.
Whether it is fair to make those remaining
in the Ward suffer to the last man for the
desertion of the men first drawn, or not, is
question which is likely to remain one OF
the secrets of the War Department. There
is scarcely an able-bodied man left in the
Ward.
In addition to the Ninth Ward of this
city, Miami Township, in Greene County,
was drafted. The list OF those selected is
as follows:

I'nlxen IN Tack

the Destruction Of Property in
the VaIley-Stephens and Isoyce
Taken to Task. ..
New York, Oct. 1S.-The Richmond
Wing of the 18th says: The Petersburg EX-
press of yesterday says our army is calmly
awaiting the advance of the enemy on the
right fully prepared to receive him when
such move is attempted. Though no dis
position is shown to attack our position
there since the late reconnaissance, yet it is
believed that the silence of the last few days
is but the quiet that precedes the outbreak.
1t is not unlikely that an attempt will be
made to flank our works, as we think the
enemy is fully satisfied of the futility of
all efforts to take them by assault. At
the present moment, says the Express, at
tention is directed to the north side of the
James river, where heavy engagement
seems not at all unlikely. 1t is known that
Grant has largely reinforced the forces al
ready there within the last two or three
nights, and it is not improbable that when
fighting commences we shall have it at
both ends of the line.
The Whig, referring to the destruction of
rebel property in the Shenandoah Valley,
says the fell work is going OH by orders of
General Grant to destroy everything that
will sustain life in the Valley. There is
one efiectual way, and the only one that we
know OF, to arrest and prevent this and ev-
cry other sort of atrocity, and that is to
burn one of the chief cities of the enemy
say Boston, Philadelphia or Cincinnati
and let its fate hang over the Others as a
warning of what may be done and will be
done to them if the present system of war
on the part of the enemy is continued. If
we are asked how such thing can be done,
we answer, nothing would be easier
$l,000,000 would lay the proudest city of the
enemy in ashes; the men to execute the
work are already there. There would be
no difficulty in finding. there or in Canada
suitable persons to take charge of the en-
terprise and arrange the details. Twenty
men with plans all arranged and means
provided, selecting some dry windy night,
might fire Boston in a hundred places, and
wrap it in flames from center to suburb.
They might retaliate on Richmond, Charles
ton, etc. Let them do so if they dare; it is
a game at which we can beat them. New
York is worth twenty Richmonds. They
have dozen towns to our one, and in their
towns is centered nearly all their wealth.
The Examiner takes to task the two
Southern statesmen, Stephens and Boyce,
who have advocated the momentous propo-
sition of convention of all the States, and
in fine vein of ridicule depicts the mighty
convention, with the North Carolina dele
gates sitting cheek-by-jowl with Banks,
Sumner, Everett and Beast Butler.

NEW York, Oct. 1S.-The Commercials
Washington dispatch says passengers from
City Point to-day say all is quiet at the
front.
Refugees from Buckingham county, Va,
say that the Union people of that region
rejoice at the destruction Of secessionists'
barns by Sheridan. Although their own
property suffered as well, they deem the
punishment just and proper.
A special to the Post from Washington
saws: The interview of the Tennessee dele
CATION with the President has been grossly
misrepresented. The members were treat
ed coirteously, but Mr.. Lincoln declined to
interfere with Governor Johnson's regula-
tions, intending to keep rebels from the
polls.

THE OPERA HoUsE.-The grand concert
by the celebrated De Vivo Troupe takes
place at the Opera House this evening, and
offers rare inducement to the lovers of
good music. The objections of many to a
regular opera do not apply to the concert
tonight, for instead OF being but single
opera, the entertainment will consist of a
good selection of the popular and familiar
parts of all modern operas. 1t will be there
fore rare and rich treat and one which all
can appreciate.

RETURNED FROM EURoPE.-Our young
townsman, Henry Feyh, the ingenious ma
chinist, we are gratiied to see, has return
ed from an extended business tour of Eu-
rope, upon which he has been absent for
about year, most of that time having been
spent among the Russians in st. Petersburg
and along the Mediterranean cities. The
object of the company with which he was
connected, was to introduce some Ameri-
can machinery in the distant countries, and
in this the party were successful. The cor
poration of st. Petersburg purchased fine
steam fire engine, something after the style
of those used in this city, which operated to
the entire satisfaction ofthe Russians. The
tour was pleasant and profitable one, and
all return we'll satisfied.

The OHIO STATESMAN will continue to
defend the Constitution against the assaults
of all its enemies. 1t will in the future as
in the past be found battling for the Rights
of the White Man, in opposition to all Dis
union Abolition TRAITORS. 1t will give an
energetic and vigorous support to the
movement for Peace and the Restora-
tion of the Union. 1t will wage an eternal
warfare against usurpation and tyranny in
every form; it will oppose arbitrary ar
rests, and advocate the. Freedom of Speech
and of the Press. In short, it will give to
the Nominees of the Democratic National
Convention most earnest and cordial sup
port; and oppose with all its power the i'm
beetle and contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts of
Tyranny and Usurpation attempting to
fasten upon this people Despotism more
degrading than that of the worst Despot
who ever disgraced throne in the Old
