RAVAGEs OF THE ENEMY.--After Meade's army
had crossed at Germanna and EIy'8 fords they
subjected the unfortunate farmers within their
lines to the most inhuman treatment They
burned the house of Mr.. Reuben Gordon, son
OF Gen. Vim. 7. Gordon, because as they said
he was an original secessionist, and did not leave
thing Of any value whatever on the place The
The farms OF Miss Sally Grymes, Mr. SkinkeI,
Mrs Willis Capt Beale, Capt SGJother Green
Mr.. John Spottswood, major j. H. Lacy, and
others, we're desolated to that extent that not

broke up the furniture Of the houses and took
OF all the clothing and bed linen from every
house. The feather beds were empied out ia
TIE yard, and the venerable Capt. Green and his
children were reduced to sleeping between two
mattresses. Mr. John Spottswood and captain
Beale were taken off by the yankees, leaving
their helpless families without provisions or ser
wants. Most Of the negroes within the yankee
lines went of with them. Major Lacy's were
saved BY his overseer's activity in moving them
off before the yankees reached the Wilderness
Fitzpatrick cavalry distinguished themselves
in robbing the negro houses as clean as their
masters, not q Testige Of clothing was left any
where. Their courage was shown in knocking
down the lame and aged Capt. Green, who told
them they were such brave men that if he had a
thousand such he could storm Gibralter. Let
our cavalry remember the gallant Ki!patricl, and
his men, and their conduct ia Gloucester, Mid
dlesex, the northern neck, and Spottsylvania-

gave them their choice between reGnlsting for
three years or going across the Rapidan and
lighting Lee. They chose the latter Meade

Those Of our readers who are politicians, are
most likely not aware, that the question of ''who

cradle agitated at Washington and elsewhere,
and particularly in our large commercial cities.
Many prominent gentlemen of the Union party

names Of our present excellent chief magistrate
Abraham Lincoln, Hon. Salmon P Chase the
present efficient secretary Of the treasury, and
other prominent men have been named
In the contest nov about being commenced
we do not hesitate to express a preference for
Abraham Lincoln as our candidate for president
Of the United States in 1864 This expression
Of our sentiment has not been hastily given, we
have carefully studied the matter, we have con
suited the sentiment Of our loyal people il Bal
timore county, and we believe that tue sentiment
herein expressed is their sentiment.
In view of this fact, we this day place at the
head Of our paper, the name Of Abraham Lin
coin, Of Illinois, as our candidate in 1864, sub
ject, Of course, to- the decision Of a national
Union convention.

Especial Dispatch to the Cleveland Leader.l
WAsHIEGToN, June 90 P. NJ.
The following has just been received
from our correspondent with the Army Of
the Potomac, under date of Headquarters,
June 7lh P. M:
Our progress towards Richmond is slow
but no doubt iS entertained in the army
as to the final result. Spades to the front
has again become the order, and slow lybut
surely We are digging up to the Rebel onP'
itsl. Since the first Of this month we have
been digging almost continually. Atsome
places we have thus worked up to within
a. hundred yards Of the rebel works,
last Friday. The two hottie armies arc sirSs
now quietly eyeiBg each other snd the
least movement on either side is sure to be
followed by similar one on the other,
both ready but neither willing to mike an
assault. The men keep low in their ditch
Oh '0-0ha-rl sboatArs nm hath si5As o-o a-o-
allowed to escape.
The troops st the immediate front where
they depend entirely on bresstworks for
protection, suffer much less than those
farther in the rear who depend on dis
tsnee for safety.
Every movement Of men through an
open space is accompanied by inevitable
music Of minnie balls. The 18Th corps,
which was moving yesterday, lost between
90 and 100 men by this means, and that,
too, within g very short distance from
headquarters. This is repested almost
every day, our own sharp shooters conceal.
ing themselves in trees and rsvines, and
By various devices draw their rifles into
range, and l think our boys keep accounts
about even.
To-day has been much more quiet than
usual, owing to the fact that both armies,
By common consent were burying their
dead, which, for almost week, have been
lying between the two lines, and their
bodies were fast becoming very offensive,
and the duty Of burying them was not
only sad but dissgreesble.
Among the bodies found was that Of Col
onel McMahOn who commanded the noted
Irish brigade. He wag killed while gal
lsntly making charge.
To day We have had some csnnonsding,
enough to prove to US that the rebels had
planted several new batteries which
would play on both extremes Of our lines.
Those on our right are heavy guns, and
are seemingly planted in the neighbOr-
hood Of Summers Bridge, on the ChiCks-
hominy, those on the left drop their shells
in dissgreeably close proximity to the
18th Corps headquarters. Two horses be-
longing to General Smiths staff officers
we're killed there to-day.
The casualties in Baldy Smiths cOrIs
since June lst amount to the aggregate CT
2,25O.

A'A-es3 AAlnnrf

graphically details the critical position in
which some of our troops are placed in

left, well covered by esrthWorks, and with
in 200 yards Of their line. From the-e
he has thrown grape s and canister at
their troops, excepting when either Of two
bstteries nearly opposite would open upon
him, when he would turn his attention and
his guns to shelliDg them to silence. So
close are these guns 10 the enemy, that a
cap lifted over the parspet upon a ramrod
is ipstantsneously perforated, while a
mimic goes jeeriDg by.
Imagine it-men work all day, and
never once stand upright. Load the
pieces on. their hands 81 knees, extending
the rsmmsrs out Of the emSrasures, while
others ply shoVe!s to replace the earth
knocked away by hostile projectiles. Here
WheIe the bushes have been allowed to
stand in the enbankment, if you will rise
up cautiously i'd peer through, you shall
sec LAc SnONol6u Gait h5 II ID luEOWu up
and falls upon their line 200 yards away.
You must be wary, and you must prompt
ly drop on your knees when you see q puff
Of smoke, for they suspect some one is
locking through that clump of bushes.
You will have sufficient time to drop down
into safety, for the smoke will puff out
white and distinct quarter Of minute
before the sound Of the discharge reaches
you, or the ball whiIzes by or thuds in
the thrown-up dirt. Better take of YOUR
hat, for it can be seen more distinctly
than your naked head, snd don't betrsy
any nervousness should the ball, which
will surely come, shower dirt upon your
head, else those old srtillerymen will laugh
at you. Nov, il you want 10 get to the
rear, stoop low and double quick it till
you get under cover Of the words. It's
only eight or ten rods. Oh, there isn't
any danger. They won't hurt you
more than hundred men have run scross
there to-day. Every one has been fred at
and only three have been struck. You see
they only get glimpse at you, and can't
get good rim. They Il shoot over you, or
behind you, or ahead of y5u. Those two
guns alone would stop the advance Of 8
bIigsde.
