WAR NEWS.

The result ofthe operations in the vicinity of
Petersburg is summed up in two dispatches the
first of which was sent from City Point by
President Lincoln at eight o'clock on Monday
morning; the second, dated three hours later
The former announces the evacuation of Peters,
burgNnd movement OH the part of Grant to cut
off the retreat of Lee. The latter reports the en-
trance of Weitzels corps into Richmond at
quarter past eight on Monday morning, the enc
my leaving in great haste. Wetzel states that
he captured many guns, and adds that one por-
ton Of the city was then on fire, but thai he was
endeavoring to arrest the spread of the flames
The correspondence of the New York Herald,
and of the Associated Press, have some details of
the fighting which took place on Friday and Sat
urday last but they are very meagre, and throw
but little if any, light upon the losses sustained
by either side. The number of pr suners captur-
ed by Sheridan on Saturday, assisted by the fifth
corps, is now estimated at four thousand. Upto
midnight on Saturday the total Confederate loss
in prisoners does not appear to have exceeded
five thousand men.
Advces from Alabama up to the 23d ut. re-
port that the Sixteenth Corps Of the Union army,
with Generals Candy and Smith, had that day
arrived at point ten miles east of Mobile hay
and twenty-three miles from the city, where it
was expected they would be joined the same even
ing by the whole of the Thirteenth Corps, unuer
Gen. Granger. But slight opposition to their
advance from the rebels had SO far been encoun-
tered, but the roads are represented TO be in an
almost impossible condition. Heavy firing was
heard in the direction of Mobile, from which
it was inferred that an engagement between the
monitors and land batteries was in progress.
A telegram from Nashville, Tennessee, announ-
ces that Gen. Stonemaus expedition reached
Boone, N. c., on Thursday last, and routed the
enemy at that place. The rebels lost ten killed
and sixty wounded and prisoners. A few of the
Twelfth Kentucky Union Cavalry were killed.
Information from Godsboro', N. c., has
reached Washington to the effect that the con-
federates are preparing to evacuate Raleigh
Gen. Schofield has levied contribution of 100,
900 ratlons of meat and -four on the citizens OF
johnson county.
The intelligence concerning the recent military
achievements continues to lie interesting. Gen.
eral Weitzel telegraphed to Secretary Stanton
from Richmond, on Tuesday, that he had found
in that city 2s locomotives and l40 cars
Newspaper accounts are to the effect that the
Confederate iron-clads on the James had been
blown up.

dance on the part Of the Sonators. We
suppose the House of Delegates made bet
ter time. Ah"ut 200 bills passed both
Houses, and 1876 failed for want of time.
Among the most important OF the former
are, the Registrati"n Act; the partial re-
peal OF the "Biack Code !" authorizing
Maryland Banks to accept the provisions
of the National Banking Law; deciding
the contested Judgeship; chartering a
railroad from Washington to the vicinity
OF the Point of Rocks amending aud
weakening Mr.. Van B"kkelip's School
Bill /; increasing the pay of Judges of the
Orphans Court iu the COUNTIES to 81 a

Among the latter are-Au act to en-
courage Immigration authorizing re as
sessmeDt and valuation of property a
township act; repeating the law requiring
"ne U. s. Senator t, be taken from the
Eastern Shore; the Militia act compen-
sating Gov. Bradford for the destruction
of bis property by the r bells, aud others
of equal Importance. The Delegates also
voted themselves one bundled dollars
apiece more pay than the C"u,,i ution
allows them, and talked of demanding
their salary in goM. The Comptro Ter
properly declined paying this money and
