Richmond Papers on the Situation

New YORK, Oct. 7.-Ewell is said to be
in command of the defenses at Richmond,
Lee having gone back to Petersburg.
Richmond papers acknowledge heavy ad-
vances of the Union armies on both sides
of the James. They discuss Grants meve-
ments with great anxiety. jeff. Davis, in
his speech at Macon, made begging appeal
to GeOrgians to fill up the army, saying
two-thirds of the rebel armies were absent
without leave, and deserters. He said he
could not send troops from Virginia to
Georgia, because they were as scarce in the
former as in the latter. He had been asked
why Early was not sent to Georgia, instead
of the Shenandoah Valley. 1t was because
Lynchburg was toreatened. What would
prevent the Union troops, if Early was
withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg and
putting a complete Gordon of men around
Richmond?
The Richmond Examiner of the 4th, in a
long review of the recent advance upon
that city by Grant, on the north side of the
James, evinces the greatest anxiety con-
cerning the situation, and bewails the loss
of battery Harrison, the works captured by
our forces and held afterwards against sew
eral desperate assaults by the rebels, in
which their losses were heavy. 1t con-
cludes as follows:
Let troops be brought to Virginia with
out delay from anywhere, for Virginia is
the pillar of the Confederacy at present
The lines are secure, but their safety can't
be fairly left TO Lees present army, which
has too great a load on it already.
The same paper says the steamer Condor
was run in on Saturday and beached of
Wilmington, to escape capture. Mrs. Ros'
Greenhow, passenger, is said to have beer
drowned. Hon. J. i. Holcomb was also
passenger, and escaped.
Richmond papers of the Sd and 4th claim
that Early holds Sheridan in check, anC
Early, in dispatch to the citizens o.
Lynchburg, says if they will turn out ant
beat off the raiders, he will hold the main
force of the enemy where they are.
The Richmond Examiner Of the 4th says
a Union cavalry force was fourteen miles
from Gordonville marching on that place

A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE-The
Journal editor is greatly disturbed because
we expressed the opinion that Capt. HURT
was the Journal Company. 1t now says
"Capt. Hurtt has retired" This is the first
announcement that we have seen of the
event. Several days ago it was announced
in the Journal that the establishment had
been "sold to an association of gentle
men," We were not aware before that
the Journal folks declined to consider
Capt. HURT a gentleman. The Journal
says: "When The STATESMAN office passed
into the hands of company, it was
not announced that Messrs. Manypenny and
Miller had retired" This is about as ac-
curate as The Journal usually is, and Of
course it is totally untrue. Messrs. Many
penny and Miller did announce in the first
column of the paper over their own sigma
lures, that they had retired. But even If
they had not announced it, they were
never court-martialed and found guilty Of
swindling in the Commissary Department,
and therefore there was no reason why
they should cease to be connected with a
publicjournal. AS The Journal inaccurate
ly states that Manypenny and Miller did
not announce the fact when they retired,
we infer that it is equally inaccurate in
stating that HURT retired when he an
nounced 1t.

Especial dispatch to The Ohio Statesman.l
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-J. j. Bingham.
editor OF The Sentinel, the organ of the In,
diana Democracy, was yesterday arrested
and thrown into a dungeon by order of
Gen. Hovey, the commander of this depart
ment. The cause of this arrest Is said bv
llovey's friends to be an article which ap-
peared in The Sentinel in reference to the
Dodd Court Martial, showing that the trial
of Dodd Is n partisan electioneering hum
bug and outrage. This article Hovey, who
claims TO be the sole ruler in this province.
considers as derogatory to his authority,
and offensive to his feelings. The article
Is approved of by 100000 voters in this
State. Mr.. Bingham has written a card
from his cell, which will be a rallying cry
for the Democracy of Indiana next Tues
day, and they will put an end to the reign of
Morton and his kindred tyrants. There is
no doubt this arrest was made to intimidate
the Democracy, but in this the authors of
the outrage will fail.
Hovey yesterday had all truthful dis
patches in regard to this outrage sup
pressed. X.

AN ADVOCATE OF GREAT MORAL IDEAS.
"A chap claiming to be Chaplain to reg
iment at Camp Chase, few weeks ago, was
preaching loyal sermons in the back town
ships Of this county, advocating Lincoln's
election and claiming the Creator as one of
his supporters This Individual borrowed
sum Of money from an enthusiastic au-
ditor which he neglected to pay when 1t
became due, and the ruralist visited Camp
Chase to collect the amount. The rural
gentleman was considerably astonished to
find the quandam Chaplain under arrest,
and In the guard house, to which he was
refused admittance. The Chap, it appears,
had been indulging in little game by
which the Government was to be euchered
out of the bounty for recruit, said recruit
having, died and been buried several weeks
previous. The report of the Chaplain's
predicament among the back townships is
said to have totally counteracted his labors
as missionary in behalf of great moral
ideas. 1G 7 k5t Ie , l rff

From Petersburg.

New York, Oct. 7.-The Herald's cores
pondent with the cavalry on the left of our
line, Oct. 4th, says: There has been no
fighting in this division since General Da-
vies gave Thompson such whipping few
DAYS since. We still hold the ground, and
are ready at moments notice to renew
the battle, but are waiting other movements
before taking the offensive.
Richmond papers of the 4th acknowledge
the sickness of Gen. Dunovan.
Our pickets are now only about fifty
yards distant from the enemy, and the most
kindly feeling exists all along the line. In
terviews among officers are Of frequent oc-
currence, and there is an understanding
that the pickets should not fire on each
other. The rebels acknowledge defeat on
Saturday, and claim that the whole of
Sheridan's corps was opposed to them.
The HeralG's correspondent at Bermuda
Hundred, the base of supplies for General
Buffers army, says that the greatest and
most encouraging activity prevails. The
chiet Quartermaster of the Army of the
James, Col. Dodge, and his assistants, are
tireless in their efforts to forward the sup
plies for the troops, and their unremitting
success tends greatly to heighten the al
ready elastic spirits of both officers and
men.
Yesterday (3d) nothing transpired in re-
lation to the advance on Richmond, for
purely military reasons, other than to per-
feet the details of the movement, and con-
seuuently there is no news from the eX-
treme front proper for the public to know.
The weather, though rainy and the roads
muddy, cannot be said now to be unfavora-
| BILE to the prosecution of hostilities; at all
events hostilities will 60 forward.
| The Herald's correspondent with the 10th
corps, Oct 4th, writes: There has been no
change here since my last dispatch. In the
vicinity of Harrison, on the right of the
18th, the enemy yet feel very sore, and con-
tinue skirmishing with our pickets. They
seem, however, to have abandoned the idea
of recapturing this important work.
| The charge upon Fort Harrison on Satur-
| day is acknowledged by the enemy to have
been disastrous in the extreme. Two en-
tire corps were engaged in the effort to re-
capture the works, but were repulsed with
n loss, according to reliable reports, of over
four thousand men: This statement is
grayely incorrect. We captured nearly
three hundred prisoners and seven bat
tle flags, while there are yet remaining
on the ground over which the assault was
made. several hundred dead bodies.
y Mai. Mulford, U. 5. Agent for the ex-
change of prisoners, arrived at Deep Bot
/ tom this p. NJ, on the steamer New York,
with large load of rebel prisoners for ex-
change. He passed through our line this
evening to Richmond, under flag of truce,
to arrange the exchange with the rebel au-
thorities.
Deserters to the number of twenty OF
thirty come into our lines daily. ~

MEcoUMTYSFAIR.
Closing Day OF the Exhibition
Further Award of Premiums--
The Fimancial Success
of the Fair.

The last day of the Fair of the County Ag-
ricultural Society proved to be but little Of
an improvement upon the previous days, the
weather being a combination of sunshine
and showers. The attendance was quite
large, but the receipts at the gate were not
very encouraging. si'' f1.i
The programme of the day consisted
chiefly of the exhibition of horse-Aesh. The
assortment was not very large, and Mr.. f.
A.Fuller's stock took most of the premi-
ums for trotting and pacing. DR.. Trevitt's
fine span of bay horses took the first
premium as roadsters. This is a mag
nifcent match of horses, whose every
motion is full of grace and power. The
Doctor selected and matched these horses
himself and he has certainly procured a
perfect team. They attracted muct ,tten-
tion from spectators and the judges.
The equestrianism Of the ladies was very
good Five young and handsome ladies
dashed gaily about the ring between the
showers displaying much skill and grace
in the management of their animals. They
attracted much attention, and were each
presented with a premium.
The question as to the best butter enter
ed during the Fair was decided. When it
is remembered that twenty-seven speci-
mems of butter, all of them good, were 10

Committee had very delicate question
to decide. After day spent in the examina-
tion Of the several specimens, the Commit

ship, and the second premium to Miss Eliza
j. Mcdonald, of Blendon township; and
the third premium to Mrs. Geo. w. Kalb,
of Madison township.
The question as to the best domestic
bread, also contest in which the compe-
tition was great, was decided by awarding
the first premium to Mrs. John II. Cook, OF
this city, and the second to Mrs. Harriet
Stimmel. ....
The Fair finally closed by an ex-
hibition of all the stock upon the
grounds. The Secretary then read the
award of premiums and gave a state
ment of the financial condition of the
Society. The receipts for the four days
amounted to the total of $500; those of pre-
vious Fairs amounted to from $4,000 to $25O0
The premiums awarded this year amounted
to $3.50, while the expenses of the Fair will
foot up about 500, leaving dead loss OF
about that sum. In view of this discourag-
ing state of affairs many gentlemen, and
those who had drawn most of the premiums,
came forward and donated the amounts
due them to the Society. Taken all in all,
the Fair was failure, but it failed from cir
cumstances beyond the control of the man.
