EASTERN NEWS.

There is little to report from the seat Of
war this week, although from the latest news
received, down to the 2lst inst, important
movements appeared to have commenced.
But the telegraph, with its usual luck, breaks
down just as it announces that the "stua-
ton is becoming interesting.
Last week it was announced that Grant
was going on to Richmond by new line
and having executed remarkable piece Of
strategy-by sending troops down the James
river, on steamers, from City Point, as if to-
ward Washington, returned them under the
cover of darkness, and landed them on the
north beach of the river, within, it was said,
twelve miles of Richmond. The Federal
troops then attacked, but did not meet with
any success. But from the intimatons
thrown out it was supposed that operations
on that line would be prosecuted vigorously.
But subsequent movements south of Peters
burg, shows that the Richmond demonstra,
ton was either fent or a failure, as the
Fifth Corps, on the 18th marched southwark,
and attempted to cut communication between
Petersburg and Weldon, and thus brought
on heavy fight, in which the Federal troops
les. 5000 men, 1900 of whom were taken
prisoners. This engagement proving serious,
Hancock's corps, was recalled to reinforce
the 81 and 9th corps south of Petersburg,
and at last accounts it seemed as if an i'm
portant battle would take place near Reams'
station. The delayed dis patches may give
an account of big fight in that quarter.
General Sheridan, who commands on the
Potomac, has fallen back from Stanton 70
the gaps and fords near that river, but no
serious fighting is announced. Rebel desert
ers say that Gen. Lee is marching into upper
Virginia, and that fully oue-half his army is
either in position or approaching Sheridan S
forced, to threaten Maryland or Pennsyl.
vania.
From Sherman's army there is nothing OF
importance. The same from Mobile From
Charleston the news is that the lombard,
ment continues. The same information has
been conveyed almost regularly for twelve
month.

Senator Powell, of Kentucky, in speech
delivered in the United States Senate on the
sth of April last, said
tell the conservative men, the Democ.
racy, the old Wings, the honest Republicans,
everywhere-and | wish to God my voice
could extend to the remote parts of this
country-to be Of good cheer; and if those
in power attempt to enslave them, to put
chains upon their limbs, to prevent their free
tongues from wagging in words of honest
and burning censure against those who are
striking down their liberties, if the minons
of power attempt to interfere with the free
dom of the press, would advise the people
throughout the length and breadth of the
land to insist on freedom aud to give their
lives in its defense. | am for law and order:
l beg, implore, | entreat that we may have
these great constitutional agencies without
blood; but before God | shall advise the
people everywhere, rather than submit to the
degradation of having free speech, and free
ballot taken from them to strike the usurpers
to the ground. If a free people will not
fight and give their blood for these three
inestimable blessings they are unworthy to
live as freemen, and the best thing for them
would be to die, for they will have to do that
or live as slaves.
hope we shall have hereafter the perfect
freedom of elections everywhere; that we
shall have free speech, free press and free
ballot. These are all the weapons we ask
But if they are denied U.S. | shall advise the
Democracy and the conservative men in
every State of the Union to fight for them;
| do not mean to 90 out of the Union, but
mean to fight for the ballot, and fight under
the Constitution and law of their country
and defend themselves by, striking to the
earth those who attempt to prevent them
exercising these inestimable blessings of a
free people

The Cincinnati Enquirer of July 9th, has
the following in relation TO the defeat oil
Hunter in Yves. Virginia:
The Twelfth Ohio Regiment came down
from the Kapawha country yesterday. They
This regiment was with General Hunter in
his late Lynchburg expedition. We are in
formed by gentlemen who conversed with
the officers and men on board the boat, that
they declare that General Hunter would have
taken Lynchburg if be had made an attack
the day he got there. He deferred un til the
next day, and the rebel achievements came
up during the night. Their force was then
so large that General Hunter ordered a
retreat. The rebels pursued, and series Of
engagements were fought in which our loss
was at least 5000 in killed, wounded and
missing. On the retreat it is charged that
General Hunter filled the ambulances with
negroes, to the neglect of the wounded white
soldiers. His conduct is bitterly denounced
by all the soldiers.
1t is also said that General Crook has
preferred charges against General Hunter
for incapacity and cruel treatment Of his men
AS an instance, it is charged we hope en-
tirely untrue, for it is almost incredible,
that General Hunter cowhided man per.
sonaly for ordering negro to get off a
horse to give place to wounded soldier.
At Cannelton, the head of navigation on
the Kanawha, 5000 wounded were placed
on barges and towed down the river. The
sutferings on the retreat were terrible, and a
half dozen soldiers died per hour during the
last two days from starvation, fatigue and
exposure. The retreat was long, horrible,
and disastrous in the extreme.

ton at Chicago on next Monday, for the
purpose of choosing candidates for President
and Vice President. 1t may be considered
as settled that the candidates will be the
opponents OF the peace sentiment Of the
country. The great northwest has declared
its purpose to present only such candidates
as will favor an armistice, convention of
States, and such measures as will pave the
way for negotiation that will lead to peace
in our unhappy country. The idea of put
ting forward war candidate as the repre-
sentative of Democratic sentiment, is obso'
lete, and will not receive an Endorsement at
Chicago. Lincoln at Baltimore, and Ere
mont at Cleveland have been nominated as
war men, and it is left with the Chicago
Convention to make plain and direct issue
on the proposition for peace. 1t cannot be
said with certainty, who will be selected as
the standard>bearer-bu from such names
as Franklin Pierce, Thomas Il. Seymour
or Willard Fillmore, the Convention cannot
60 amiss.
That the delegates fully appreciate the
Importance of the nomination to be made
and will endeavor to make the selection Of
candidate that will rally the support of the
Democratic and conservative strength of the
country, there can be no doubt, we feel wei
assured.
