NEW LrsBoN RAILWAY. this road, formerly
known as the Ashtabula and New Lisbond Il.
r., the Buckeye Slate Of the 9th says;
The work Of procuring the right Of way
for the New Lisbon Railroad Company is
progressing favorably. From present in
dications we expect to see the road bed
cleared by the middle Of the month. The
friends Of the eterprise are sanguiue of sue
cess in putting the work under way for
completion by the lst OF July next This
will, of course, depend on the promptness
o. the lond holders along the route, but
we think the latter are disposed to see their
own intrests, and will grant the right o.
way without hesitation. When the work
| is started it is contemplated to push it tc
completion us fest as possible, so as to oper
up and work the mineral beds along the

The last number Of the Ohio Patriot, in speak
of this contemplated railroad, says:
The prospect of the speed construc

OF the black man that we have met with. Cor.
roborated as the claim is. by other and abun.

no longer room for doubt or dispute on this
score. There is, too another quality Of the
black soldier, brought out by this war, which
has not been much discussed. Whatever OBJ

been given Of the prejudicial effect Of that sue

discovery that he can endure more, and with

The ISHABrANTS GOING OUT OF PErEEs.
BURG From information that We get, and
from other evidence that is brought to US
by our lookouts, it Is certain that the in.
habitants of the town are moving away as
rapidly as they can with safety The town
cannot be regarded as ye-y safe or desr-
able locality for quiet iDhabitant who is
unacustomed to the rude aud bloody &C
compartments of o siege. Although we
have not regularly sbelled the city, yet
there are occasional shells dropping into
the town, and doubtless some lives lost from
their explosion. Such accidents cannot
well be avoide. when our lines are within q
mile and half of the town and our batter
les 10 range.

From the Front.

The headquasters CORES )opdent Of the Com
mercial Advertiser, under date of June 25th
says:
The portion of the 10th corps, under
command of General Foster, which was sent
across the james River, is now operating
on the West bank of that stream iu cou-
junction with the gunboats. 1t is said al
last accounts that Foster had worked his
way past Aikeu's Landing. This place
will be remembered as having been declared
neutral ground for the exchange of prison

probably, have attacked and we hope cap.
tured CaHin's Bluff
If Gen Foster succeeds in his mission
and carries this formidable rebel strong
hold, we can !hen reduce Fort Darling by
erecting a counter work. A heavy line Of
entertainments, and several morsnr boats
concentrating u sweeping fire on Drury's
Bluff is the evident design of Grant in bis
next operations.
The capture of Fort Darling virtually
places Richmond in our hands. 1t will
then be very easy matter to destroy the
rebel ironclads OF keep them at Richmond
Nothing can then hinder the monitors from
shelling The rebel capital.
The movements of Grant for the past
week have not been 10 bring on q general
Engagement; neither have we fought any

to give relief 10 General Hunter. Our
main endeayors are to obtain full and per-
manent possession of the Petersburg and

| federacy in twain.

GEN. GARFIELD AssAILED We were not
little surprised TO see Gen. Garfield assaied IN
the columns Of the Ashtabula Sentinel OF June
18th. No trueI man, no more earnest advo'
cate of equal and exact justice to all men, than
Gen. Garfield, can be found. Sure are we
that the Sentinel is aboring under some mis-.
apprehension, or m isnformation, and the well
known and characteristic fairness of its editor,
we are con6ndent, that the Sentinel will, upon
due Investigation and inquiry, do justice to the
character, the m )tives ann the conduct OF our
worthy aud able Representative.
ln all that pertains to burning zeal for lib
erty, and single devotion to the cause of inal-
ienable rights Gen. Garfield is worthy to sue
ceed that faithful and fearless champion Of hu-
man freedom, the lameuted Joshua r. Giddings
Portage Democrat.
We sincerely regret to be regarded as assaa-
ing so good man as our Representative, and
must therefore say to our friend Of the Portage
Democrat that he is mistaken in the use Of as
sail We are sorry also that we did not fully
understand Mr.. Garfield, and have presented
him in an attitude that we did not desire to see
him occupy; but after ALL we are not very sor-
~ that we alluded to the action Of Mr.. G., in
the matter of paying negro troops. What we
said has brought the facts by which the people
will Judge for themselves aud by which Mr. q
will himself be vndeated.
We are glad to fud that the public senti
ment now requires man to be called q radical
to speak we'll of him; and we shall in justice to
Mr.. GARFIELD, try TO show that this course
has been, more radical than we thought it hail
be en- by stating the osition that he did occu
py and which many of his constituents did not
un derstaDd.
The Sentinel publishes in this connection, q
lengthy extract of private letter from Gen
Garfield, in explanation of the matter, which
we have not the room for at this time. We may
say, however, it sutficeth US.
