THE NEWS.

our readers can form very correct idea
OF the operations Of our military forces.
There IS nothing doing at Petersburg.
Report says that Grant has removed both
1 Meade and Warren, for demonstrating
against the order of Grant to attack the
/ rebel works at Petersburg, they alleging
that such attack would result in q useless
sacrihce OF life. There is also report
that an attack upon Richmond is to bo
made on the north side of the James.
Sheridan he fallen back 10 the vicinity
of Winchester, or perhaps Harpes's Ferry
after desoatiug with the torch the
entire vollsy of the Shenandoah from
Staunton northward TO WincEester-a
distance of over eighty miles-and from
mountain to moun,ain-an average width
of over twenty miles. Not barn, or
stack of grain or hay escaped, and many
dwellings and villages have shared the
same fate; the entire population being
driven OF. This was in obedience to the
order Of Gen. Grant. Let us hear no
more complaint Of the dcprcdations Of.
Tebol invaders.
No news have been received from Shti-
man for over three weeks. If there is
any truth in accounts published in the
Richmond papers, sherman is in the
most imminent danger. Hood is in his
rear, on his only line of communication
with Chattanooga, with his whole army,
said to be as large as Sherman's; while
Forest is operating on the Fedeaal lines
Of communication between Nashville and
Chattanooga, and at last accounts he was
within few miles of Nashville.
Missouri is completely overrun with
the Confederate forces under Gen. Price,
who was, at last dates, in fair way to
capture the State Capital. intending to
place the State IN the hands of The Lieut.. /
Governor elected two years ago along with
Gov. Jackson, who has since died
"'rhe meeting at Curwensyilba on Mon I
day evening was one of the largest and
most respectable Assem- olages of people .
that have convened in this county during
che present political campaign" Journal
Oct. l2m.
Bzy~Thcn, Why did HE nominal editor
Of the Jovraa! declare, the second day
thereafter, that "it was the last time he
would ever 20 to political meeting in /
CurScnsvile ?" Was it because tbe assem-
blage vas respectable ?" But We submit
that it is not quite in accordance with
Chesterfield for "a large delegation to
70 from one place TO another and then
call themselves respectable" Better let
somebody else do that.
Om.-A number Of our enterpiising
citizens have formed a company for the
purpose of settling the question whether
Or not Coal Oil is to be found in Cleariield,
Operations are about commencing, with
the eintention Of going TO a'depth sufficient
TO remove all doubts. We are right glad
of this. There is scarcely doubt but
that it will eventually pay, ifnot in oil,
in coal, without the oil. The work is in
the hands of a couple of gentlemen OF ex-
Perience from the oil region Of Pennsylya-
MIA.
