THE COUNTY POOR HOUSE.

The management Of this institution has for
some time past been under discussion and it seems
to be the prevalent opinion, that very radical re-
forms are desirable. Quite number of citizens,
think that removal of the house from the pres
ent location near town to some convenient point in
the county, distant from this place and the high
ways of travel, is the first thing to be done in
der to effect the proposed reforms, and they have
accordingly petitioned the legislature through our
members for authority to sell the property now
occupied as poor house and purchase elsewhere
We think there are important considerations
against the proposed movement. No suitable
site purchasable for the amount, likely to be
received fof the poor house property has been Of
fered Probably no farm with suitable buildings
can be had. and the expense of erecting convent
ent structures now would exhaust half Of the-val-
ue Of the farm, mill &c, owned by the county.
It is alleged that the abuses complained of grow
mainly out of matters peculiar to the present To-
cation This we think is true, only so far as con
venient opportunity is afforded to parties to carry
on a system of sponging and peculation, which
under an efficient and honest supervision would
not for a day be tolerated anywhere 1t is said
GhaJ Jne fDau pduptTs cOhgFtSate at IiiS pooI
house for lodging, simply because it is convenient
The question to be considered here is does this
convenience of location increase materially, or at
all the au1,Ber of paupers on the road. We pre-
sumo it viii be difficult to show that the number
is thus increased, and if not, then far their
accommodation is concerned, the proposed remoy-
al would be detrimental to this community and the
county For of course they must be lodged some
where at the expense of the county, and no other
place is so convenient and economical as the pres
ent one 1t is alleged that citizens of the county
make it practice to stop at the poor house, with
their horses dogs and rest of their families, parta-
king literally of its hospitality (2) while on Their
own private business. All we have tosay to thisis,
that it is a mean sponging nuisance that ought TO
be summaraly abated. A thing very easy to be
done where there is viii to do it. On the whole
we see little or no force in the reasons given given
for the removal We believe all the reforms dis
cussed can be efeetualy accomplished without the
necessity of removal.

PROGRESS.


The world moves. Society moves asd Ameri-
can PoIiotics moves An are progressing But
the latest great advance movement IN this progress
siye age and nation is the immense progress made
in political IDEAS by many Of the leaders Of the
Democratic party.
1t Is but few days since sixteen of their Con
gressmen, three from Pennsylvania, coming up to
true principles of Democratic institutions noted In
favor of submitting the Amendment of the Con
stitution to the states for ratfcationand follow
ing close in their wake we find Cox Of Ohio, and
Wood of New York City, The former in the
house of representatives offered resolution ten
dering the thanks of the nation to the President
for his efforts to ascertain the disposition of the
rebels in regard to peace the latter declaring
it to be the duty of the President to accept no ne
gotiations, which viii admit any other Govern
ment within the territory of the United States -
Truly the dawn of better day begins to appear
light is breaking in upon the benighted leaders Of
the opposition, and not one by one but by twos,
threes, and half dozens they are beginning to place
themselves alongside the Administration and to
rally under the Old Flag with "ou tobole Co,u.-
ty' for their motto
Would that they long ago could have laid aside
the gauntlet of partisan politics. and shown in the
!L.c,lr ee -s.l,eir Country danger that whatever
disputes Oh party may divide us in times of peace
we are III it In love and devotion to eur Country
that while is parties we advocate different meas
ures in the regulation of our national affairs, ",
all carry high above all other notices inscribed
upon our banners Union and Liberty one andin
separable, now and forever
The signs of the timesindeed augur well, howev
er dark the present hour. Though peace negotia
tions for the present may have failed, the rebels
may weT prepare for their last struggle, when the!
see Sherman and Grant closing in upon them
while those, whom they have heretofore consider
ed their allies, among us, are abandoning the un
holy cause and railying around the glorious ok
flag of our Union. Surely with such signs star
ing them in the face, they must see that their fat
is sealed their days are numbered, that surely an(
swiftly the day of retribution draws near.

The advices from South Carolina through the
Richmond papers show that General Sherman is
pushing steadily forward 1t was reported in the
papers of the 9th that he had captured Branch
vile, and that Charleston had been eyaeuated-
Later dispatches published in the papers Of the
10th, de not confirm these reports, but they show
that General Sherman was close to Branchville,
and that his forces occupied the South Carolina
Railroad at several points, thus severing railroad
communication with Augusta Our cavalry under
General Fitzpatrick struck the road at Blackyie,
twenty miles south Of Branchville on the 7th, dri
wing the enemy S pickets back On the next day
our forces moved along the railroad to the Edisto
river, FIVE miles from Branchville. The rebels
withdrew to this side Of the river and burned the
bridge The latest dispatches show that our for
ces were concentrating In front of the Edisto river
skirnishing with the enemy, but no attempt to
force crossing had been made. The occupation
Of the South Carolina railroad completely sewers
the Rebel railroad communication with Georgia,
Alabama and States further South Their other
lines of railroad are either in our possession or
were so destroyed by General Sherman in his pro-
gress through Georgia as to be useless. A Wash
ington despatch states that the Richmond papers
OF the llth confirm the capture of BranchVille
and the evacuation Of Charleston. Both are
probable events.

HEROIC INFAMY.-It seems that the solid oppo-
sitions with which the Democratic members of our
Legislature doggedly confronted the Constitutions
Amendment to abolish slavery was the result of a
solemn caucus, in which they deliberately resolved
that the party of Copperhead Democracy should
stick by slavery to the last, and godown with the
black flag flying Perhaps they areright Ifthey
must be infamous there is some satisfaction per
haps in making their infamy heroic.

PoToMAc, Feb. 5.
The Army of the Potomac is once more in mo-
ton and ere this dispatch reaches you the objects
intended to be accomplished will have been not
only developed, but the degree of success result
ing viii also no doubt be known by that time.
At 3 o'clock this morning the 5th corps, pre-
ceded by GREGG cavalry, started on the Road to
Reams' Station No force of the enemy was met
on the rout, but the roads at various points were
pieketed by cavalry, all of whom retreated as our
column advanced. About noon the column reach
ed Rownnitz creek over which bridge of con
siderable length had to be constructed, occupying
several hours About p. NJ. the Sd Pennsyl-
vania Cavalry was sent out to make connection
between them and the I'd corps The I'd and Sd
divisions, which had gone out on the Vaughn road
as far ar Hatcher run to demonstrate in that di-
rection On reaching the run the lst brigade of
the Sd DIVISION I'd corps, charged and took a line
OF rife pits on the west side, losing but few men
They advanced mile across the run, driving the
enemy S pickets before them Here strong line
Of breastWorks was erected, making the position
perfectly secure.
The Sd Pennsylvania cavalry, after crossing a
short distance south of the Vaughn road, ad-
yanced southwark and soon met a small ambush,
which poured sharp volley into our men, kill
ing two men and wounding number of horses
Part of the Sd division of the I'd corps here came
to the support Of the cavalry and drove the rebels
of, and soon after connection with the right of
the 5th corps was made. Up TO this time very
little fighting had taken place, the 5th corps being
scarcely engaged at all.
The I'd division of the Sd corps, under Gen.
Smyth, before reaching Hatcher run turned to
the right and advanced northwesterly direction
towards Armstrong; mill, but before going more
than three quarters Of milo the enemy were dis

PAY OF CUR SOLDIERS. 1t is stated that Sena-
tor Wilson's bill to increase the pay Of oficersand
soldiers actually in the field viii give the men thir-
ty cents day more, and officers eighty cents and
freedom from taxation. Eeutenants and captains
in front Of the enemy viii get about $3.50 year
more than they now do. Generals and officers on
detached service serving in the rear are excluded
from this benefit We hope the bill win pass

HRAneuRrERs SEcoND eoRps, IS THE FIELD
February s The day las passed in perfect quiet
upon both sides The roads between the LETT as
our Old line and Hatcher run are rev lii excel
lent condition far the mo5irg 6f trains, and the
shrill whistle cf the locomotive on Grants militia
ry rSiiraa1 viii soon awaken the echoes in the
neighborhood Of this now historic stream.
THE NEW POSITION no De PERMANENTLY HELD.
1t is now definitely settled that the line as now
occupied, covering Hatcher's run, is to be perna-
nently held The Rebels have for some tiwe past
had line of works short distance fi1eni the run
on the south side, which they still hold These
works were not manned as upon any movement
of ours they could easily rush troops down from
their left oniya few men being necessary to check
oar progress until this could be accomplished In
anticipation of this they have always retained
both cavalry aud infantry picket on all the roads
leading in that direction.
The line as it now exists viii compel the placing
Of large force Of troops in these works and ex-
tend the enemy's line for several miles. That the
movements which has thus successfully been ac
complished may have other and Interior objects is
doubtless trne. One thing is certain it will fully
occupy the boasted Army Of Northern Virginia,
and viii prevent General Lee from sending off
troops to reinforce the armies opposed to Sher-
man 5 operations, and enable that gallant leader
to carry out with ease the programme laid down
for him.
