To Business Men.

We already have orders for our Wednes-
day mornings paper - first of the enlarged
size-for a very large extra edition, to be sent
by advertisers to their customers in all parts
OF the state. 1t will be an excellent number
for new advertisements 10 appear in. We
have already several columns of new ones en-
gagged, but still have room to accommodate
few more.
Wholesale and Retail Merchants, Manu-
facturers, &c, who wish TO have the benefit of
that issue, must hand in their favors as early
as possible, so that we may have time to put
them in type. We will promise to put up no
new advertisement for that number ifreceived
later than Monday evening, though we will
do all in our power to accommodate. Extra
papers must be ordered by Tuesday noon.

Progress OF Grants Army.

Since this noble army has emerged from
the Wilderness, where bloody battles were
fought and victories won, they came into
very pleasant country, which seems to have
escaped, in some good degree, the ravages of
war, especially when compared with other
portions of the State. The contrast was full
of inspiration for our brave boys. Here were
substantial dwelling well cultivated
plantations-all indicating that this section of
the Old Dominion was quite prosperous. Dur
ing march of twenty miles or more the field
hands closely watched the movements of our
army with great surprise. The women and
children preponderating, scarcely a single
white resident was seen. The evidences"
was hard road to travel, but our noble SOL
diers were equal to the emergency, and their
''courage always mounts with the occasion"
Grant is on his way to the rebel Capital, and,
as one intelligent negro remarked, "Rich-
mond's ours dis time, cause Massa Grant and
Massa Butler be two big millstones, and Lees
tween 'em."
From the best and most reliable accounts 1t
Is quite certain that Lee, finding Grant too
powerful for him, both in numbers and strate-
gy, Is making his way to Richmond. Wemay
safely infer from such retreat that Lee now
breads another battle until he is safely an
chored within the Notifications that surround
the Capital, but Grant will not attack him
there, or risk the lives of his brave soldiers in
such a contest. He will invest the place, cut
off all supplies for Lee, and wait for the con-
sequences. 1t is reported that our advance is
within twenty miles of Richmond. 1t would
seem that Lee must yet succumb. We hope
and trust that his whole army will be bagged.
II he seeks safety in Richmond that city may
prove a cut-de.sac, and he will find it easier to
60 in than to come out. On the whole, the
war news is favorable, and we wait patiently
for results. There is nothing new from Sher-
man, but it is fair and reasonable presump-
ton that he Is marching on"

PHILADELPHIA, May 18th, 1864.

PHILADELPHIA, May 18th, 1864.
To the Editor Of the Portland Press.
Having just returned from W eek's visit TO
the wounded in the late battles in Virginia,
in company with Bishop McIlvaine of Ohio,
it gives me great pleasure to assure the friends
Of those noble heroes, throughout the coun-
try, that our government is doing everything
in its power TO relieve suffering-more than
any government ever did beforehand that we
found the work of the Christian Commission
thoroughly organized with an efficient corps
of over two hundred and fifty volunteer dele
gates laboring necessarily for the temporal and
spiritual comfort of our soldiers. As result
of one days labor at the headquarters of the
Commission in Fredericksburg we brought up
with us nearly 5000 letters, many of them
written for disabled soldiers by the delegates
of the Commission.
The great difficulty is in the transportation
Of supplies. Encouraged by the generous
contributions of the people TO our treasury,
we have made arrangements to remedy this
by purchasing and sending forward two addi-
tional wagons with eight horses; we also char
tered two schooners and a tug boat. To make
the work of the Commission more efficient
upon the field, we arranged for set of dele
gates to work by day and another by night
so that there will be Christian men always
present to minister to the sick and wounded
and to stand by the bedside of the dying
The delegates of the Commission have already
accomplished wonderful work, saving hun.
dreds Of lives and relieving untold suffering
They are still at their posts. 1t remains fol-
the Christian philanthropic people of the coun.
try to keep them supplied with the means o.
carrying on and increasing their labor Of
love. GEO. II. STUART
Chairman Christian Commission.

A PLEASING IScIDEST-On board the
morning train from Boston, on Thursday last,
there was an occurrence worth mentioning.
A sick soldier, so feeble from chronic diarrhse
as to be almost utterly unable TO help himself
at all, but who was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS upon
by one of our citizens returning from an I'M
successful attempt to procure the remains of
brother killed in one Of the late battles near
Fredericksburg, was accosted by a gentlsman,
passenger on the same train, who, after man
ffesting much sympathy for the condition Of
the poor fellow, gave him his overcoat and ten
dollars in money. The same gentleman found
four other soldiers In the cars returning
wounded to their homes, and gave to each ten
dollars. "A generous liberality indeed-the
gentleman being resident of Sherbrooke, C. E.
