EASTERN NEWS.

There is but little news this week of army
operations in the vicinity of Petersburg -
Grants operations seems to lie settling down
into siege. Lee is reported as manevurine
his forces grea, deal, but with what intent
is not known.
Sheridan has returned from his raid. and
crossed James river to Grant Wilson and
kaulz went south and West Of Petersburg
and destroyed so or 60 miles of track on diff
ferent railroads, but both were driven back
with considerable loss. Kau,z lost all of his
ariillery-some IL pieces.
Hunter, alter penetrating nearly to lynch
burg, and destroying much public and pri-
vate property, was compelled to retreat over
the Allegheny moutans to Western Viz
ginia, and when last heard from had arrived
at Char lesion, on the Kanawha river. He
claims TO have been victorious in his expedi-
ton, but it is difficult to reconcile victory
with retreat over the toughest portion of
the country and to part of the Stale where
no enemy is to be met. When he started on
his expedition, he had 10000 men, includ
ing Gen. Crooks command.
His retreat seems to have left the valley Of
the Shenandoah open, of which rebel GenI
Early took advantage and marching to Mar
tnsburg aud llarper's ter'y, attacked Sge
and drove him across the Potomac 1t is
not believed, however, that Early has sutii
cient force 10 enter PENNSYLVANIA.
The President has called on the governors
of New York and Penrsy vania, for militia
TO repe the invasion.
Sherman had a hard fight on the 9th of
June at kensaw mountain Georgia, and sus,
tanned a loss Of 5000 in killed aud wounded
lie subsequently commenced a thanking
movement toward the charlottesville river,
The result of which is not known.
Mr.. Chase resigned his Office on the 3Oth
of June. David roJd, of Ohio, was offered
the position but declined. Mr.. Fessenden,
OF Maine, was then appointed, and has since
accepted.
Congress adjourned on the Alb of July.
The famous Alabama was sunk by the U.
). steamer kearsarge, in fight off Cher
bourg France, on the 10Th Of Jure, which
lasted AN hour. Captain Semmes, and a
portion Of bis crew was taken off by an Enc
lish vessel, and landed at Southampton,
Eng land. The Kearsarge captured sixty
eight Of the officers and crew. She had 3
OF her crew wounded-the Alabama nine
killed and twenty wounded.

Hon. George HI. PendEesOn--
His Record.

A number of the Republican papers are
exerting themselves to make the people be-
lieve that the Hon. George II. Pcndleton,
the Democratic nominee for Viee-P President,
is semi-secessionist, and opposed to the
Union. This is only for effect upon the ig-
norant and those unacduainted with Mr..
Pendleton's record That is before the coun-
try. made during his long term Of service in
Congress, and it shows and proves to the
contrary
We have known Mr.. Pendleton intimately
for many years; We are familiar both with
his public and private views; and we can
say with truth that he never breathed an
utterance that was not for the preservation
of the Union of these States, under the Con
stitution Of 1889. He never made speech
or gave sentiment on the subject that was
not to that purport. We defy the malice Of
his enemies to contradict this assertion. He
has been opposed to the policy of the Ad-
ministration because it'was not calculated to
restore the Union, but to defeat such con
summation. We could give extract after
extract from his speeches, verifying these
statements, but it is unnecessary. lie is
notoriously O Union man, and no one would
20 further and make greater sacrifices to at
tai4 that end than he would. There is
n4hfig that would afford him so much
qualification, and there issno one that would
labor harder for arestoration of the old Con-
fcderacy than Mr. Pendleton; and, let us
ada there arc few who conld do more, if
elerterl, IN that direction. ~ Cincinnati En-

The following returns indicate that ris-
ing tide for McClelIafJ and Pendleton, that
is gathering for the November food! In
every contested town, the Democrats make
large gains--whilst we lose nothing of i'm

gain the large town Of Derby-ior twenty
years against us--and lose North Haven,
which was never sure for us. As far as
heard, there is strong and steady gain oF

last Wednesday, Hon. G. L. Vallandig-
ham and Maj. Stambaugh addressed the
largest meeting ever assembled in Holmes
county, at Millersburg. Mr.. Yallandigham
made one of the ablest unconditional Union
speeches ever made in Ohio. Many Repub-
Jicans went away satisfied that he was per-
secuted, great and good man;
Maj. Stambaugh followed him in the af-
ternoon, and again made a speech at night,
in his usual style
Capt. Fallwel, ono of Gen. Sherman IS
Staff, who is home on short lurlough, was
one of the marshals of the day, and made a
speech at night, in which he declared that
lie few days ago left Gen. Sherman and his
army, and that he was authorized to say
that Gen Sherman was for Mcclellan, and
that more than two-thirds of Sherman &
army are now for Mcclellan.
This meeting was one Of the grandest
meetings ever held in Ohio, and a perfect
success. Little Holmes is all right. --Nac

And wner,a a., These our brothers,
who have fought their last battle, and
'slcap their last Sleep" were among
the good, the patriotic, and the brave,
who Lave given character TO our Reg
linen examples worthy of limitation
in their courage, their self-sacrificing
devotion to,1heir country, and in the
personal qualities Of head and hear,
that made mapy of them most pleasant
and profitable companions and associ-
ates. Therefore .E5
Rcsolced, That while we bow with
humble submission to the Providence
OF God, We at the same time express
our deep feelings of sorrow that we
will see them no more on earth. We
mourn for them, not simply AZ soldiers,
but as friends, whom we respect and
loved. While we cherish their memo
ries and seek to emulate their virtues,
we will strive in coming days to live in
oil respects in such q way, that when
the unseen destroyer shall come to us,
we will be ready to enter the eternal
home.
I'd, That to the relatives of the dead
we tender our kindest feelings and our
warmest sympathies in their great sor-
rows. ,{. gt f@

Clear the track
For Little Mac!

WE had q splendid meeting on Saturday
night last, Notwithstanding the inclemeDcy
of the weather. The Courthouse wascrowd-
ed, and Mr.. Donahue delivered capital
speech, maintaining the high reputation he
has among our people as a public speaker.
He spake for more than two hours to one Of
the most attentive audiences we have ever
seen. He even enchained the attention of
the little boys and girls who apparently ne
yer took their eyes off the speaker from the
commencement to the close. And we con
slider this the highest compliment that can
be paid to a public speaker. Our meetings
grow in interest, and we notice an addition
a number of Republican ladies and gentle
men out. That is right. They no doubt
discover a great difference between Demo
cratic and Republican speakers. Their ears
are not greeted with low vulgar blackguard-
ism and offensive language such as they
hear from their Republican speakers. ST.

that they stand alone in the department Of

making it such, they carry it to the highest

tcegraphed to some of his, friends that they
may rely" upon his addressing the meet
ing called for Monday next, in Newark.
We hope to see many candid Republicans in
attendance at this meeting. Surely they
can have no objection to hearing aspeech on
the perils of the country from a member of
the family of Fighting McCooks "a nun
who has been sent into the field by all three
oftheir Governors-frst, on special duty, by
Dennison; next, by Tod, to rcpel the rebel
raid on Parkersburg and last, by Brough,
under whose orders he had charge of resi-
ment during the 200 days service. His own
life has been spared as well by bullets as by
disease, but that of his venerable father, and
those of three gallant brothers, have been
laid down in the strife Of battle Surely, the
claims of man with such surroundings, to
a candid hearing, ought not to be ignored
by men who support the war from patriotic
motives. --NeUo,k Adrocdte.
