B@s~ How these wheels came there"
is easily answered; whose they were is
another matter. About 1912 there
was dreadful earthquake along the
Mississippi. The earth split on CAPPED,
generally perpendicularly, TO the river.
New Madrid and number of other
settlements were swallowed up The
only mode of escaping was the meth
cd pursued by the intelligent back
woodsmen. They fellod trees across
the openings and sat astradle of them,
holding on to the branches. The
wheels referred to may have fallen in
to one of these chasms which closed
again above them. What is more,
Alton, illinois is not n very great dis
lance from the principal scene of devas-
tation. ANCHOR.

THE ONWARD MARCH.

The Daily advertiser on hearing of
the onward march to Richmond made
the following expressive comments:
The Army of the Republic has every
where begun its campaign vigorously,
in good heart, and in harmony. It's
movements are not fitful or deshltory,
the force of one column expended be
fore another acts; but the attack is
general, concerted, and exactly timed.
A combined movement was never be-
gun with better apparent success, nor
with q stronger prospect Of engaging
the enemy decisively at too many
points for the shifting and the tempo
rary concentration of his forces.
The scheme Of the campaign az nov
developed has been criticised, as in
volving q considerable division Of force
in the principal field of operations: bnt
it can hardly suit with any healthy
taste to enter upon the discussion Of
such objections now. The scheme has
upon its face this characteristic, Oh
which the mind dwells with most
pleasure, and from which the iudg-
ment draws with reason the strongest
hopes. 1t bears, in design and execu.
ton, the impress of a single hand. Foi
the first time we see all our armies sci
in the field in visible conformity witt
o single matured purpose, obviously
acting under one common impulse, anc
plainly marshalled by an authority
which holds the control of all the re-
sources which the country has devoted
to the present uses of the war There
is absolute unity of purpose and of ac
ton, SO far as the observer can discov
er, and thus is the mind freed from {
thousand apprehensions and doubts
the sorrowful inheritance from pasf
misfortunes and failures.
In this view we may Justly term the
spectacle now witnessed exhilirating
If it brings us to the crisis of our con
fict, it also gives us ground for til,
most cheering hopes. With an &C
emulation of power such as the gov
eminent has never before brought tt
bear, we now have those vital elements
of success which have hitherto failed
us to the ruin of our best laid schemes
Already the country has recovered
from the depression which few mis-
chances of little really serious impor
had occasioned, and grows stronl
again at the sight of vigorous actor
and in the anticipation OF victory. l
realizes in thousands Of anxious home
| what the victory mist Drobablv cost
but with spirit none the less stead
fast and buoyant for this, does it watcl
the Joining of the great issue.

The ladies of indianapolis, Ind,
had a meeting the other day at which
Mrs, Gov. Morton presided, and deci-
ded that they would volunteer as clerks
in stores to supply the places of the
young men who may enlist to serve in
the army for one hundred days, the
clerks TO have their salaries continued,
and the ladies to have the soldiers
monthly pay as reward for their la
bors. The movement is very popular
there, and will be initiated in many
western cities.

The GREAT PERIL OF DEFEAT.-The
New York World is now ''war demo-
crat, and is doing that part well. In
an article on the pending battles in
Virginia, it makes these sensible and
patriotic suggestions, which sound
oddly enough from that quarter
Desevedly great as is the confidence
of the country in General Grant, it
would be criminally incautious to in
calculate upon the public mind the idea
that the success of our cause is staked
upon the result of this campaign. 1t
is important that the public feeling
should be trained to such inyincible
determination that the result of no bat
tie can be a triumph for the peace par
ty. General Grant has by far too
sound n head to stake everything upon
a single throw of the die. If, by some
untoward interposition of fortune, he
should be beaten, it will be merely the
loss of so many men, and a retreat;
not disorderly rout, much less the
destruction of his army The evil to
be dreaded is that public feeling would
wilt under such a calamity, and that
a party opposed to the further prose
cution of the war would get the upper
hand As careful and forecasting pro-
vision should be made against this ms
against any other consequence of pos
sible defeat. A quailing of the public
heart under a reverse, at this stage OF
the war, would be more ominous than
anything else that could possibly take

Bay-We endeavor topresent this wee

BEE w teuuSHNOT 10 present UnlS week
to our readers some systematic reports
of the mighty events which have made
the past few days memorable in the
history of the war The thrilling de
tails we give will be read with great in
terest, but a brief compendium of them
may be thus stated: With the Army
of the Potomac the history begins with
the terrible battle of Friday. 1t APP
pears that Lees whole force, including
Longstreets corps, was thrown success
sively upon every portion of our line,
from before sunrise until darkness put
an end to the carnage In several in
stances the rebels were CALAMITY re-
pulsed, while in others our line was
forced back so far as to put our army
in imminent danger of being complete
ly fanked. During the day Burnside's
corps cameup and reinforced the weak
est portion of our line. Toward the
close Of the battle the advantage APP
peared to be with the enemy, who had
crushed our extreme right, and cap
tured large portion of two brigades,
but he failed to follow up his success,
and during the night his forces were
withdrawn from the field Our loss
was most severe, and is estimated at
twelve thousand men. On Saturday
no movement of Importance was made
on either side Gen. Grants scouts
were unable to discover the enemy
On Sunday morning our gallant army
resumed its southwark march, and at
the time the latest courier left head
quarters was steadily pushing on, in
tending to camp for the night at Spott-
sylvania Court House. No rebels in
force had been discovered. Frede-
ricksburgh had been occupied as hos
pital depot, and there the wounded
were well cared for and amply pro-
tected.
The army of the Potomac appears
to have come to halt on Sunday
night before arriving at Spottsylvania
Court House. No rebels in force were
found, but some severe diminishing
occurred, in the course of which the
gallant and beloved General Sedgwick,
the commander of the 9th army corps,
was killed by rebel sharpshooter. II
was understood that the advance would
not be renewed Tuesday, but that Gen
Grant would wait for the arrival Of his
supply train, from which to replenish
the haversacks of his men, The Rich
mond papers claim that Lee captured
a thousand prisoners in the engage
ment Of Thursday, and confirm the re-
port that Gen. Longstreet was severe
ly wounded in Fridays battle
In view of the gallant exploits of our
armies the President has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin recommending thanks
giving and prayer, in which all will
most devoutly join.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The list of casualties is great, and
the loss of the Vermont troops must be
large and bring grief to the households
of many loyal Vermonters. Rumors
by telegraph and otherwise can not al
ways be depended upon, and especially
if communicated to city newspapers.
The loss of some Franklin county Off
GERS and brave men is reported and the
wounding of several must be expected.
1t is too early, however, for reliable par
ticulars and we forbear giving currency
to any mere rumors whose publication
may bring untimely grief to hearts al
ready full Of the gravest forebodings
