1864, a Year Of victories.

The Petaluma Argus sums up the follow
ing list Of victories with which the national
arms have been crownedduring the past year.
1t does not include the capture of Savannah,
of which the editor had not learned up to the
time of writing:
The year about closing has been a bright
one for the United States. One Of its great
est events was the triumphant reelection OF
Abraham Lincoln! That virtually decided
the question, if there was question, of the
perpetuity of the Union! The military oper-
atoms have been grand and successful beyond
precedent! The year has been to the United
States emphatically year of victories. The
like Of such long and uninterrupted series
is nowhere else and at no other time to be
found. They run unbroken from the begin.
ming Of the annual campaign to the close of
it. Grant and Sherman commenced their
advance movement in cooperation: Grant
from the Rappahannock and Sherman from
Chattanooga. Grant crossed the Rappahan-
mock in the face of the same army that OPP
posed the crossing of Burnside and OF Hooker.
He fought VIGOROUSLY in the Wilderness the
same troops of acknowledged ability and
tenacity that had defeated Burnside at Fred
ericksburg and Hooker afterwards at Chan-
cellorsville. He won the desperately con-
tested field at Spottsylvania. He earned the
day at the South Anna. Week after week,
and almost day after day, he successfully at
tackled, and successfully fanked the forces OF
Lee, until at length he pitched his tent be.
fore the entertainments of Petersburg, and
brought Richmond within his grasp. The
victory at Cold Harbor followed, and subse.
oueutiy the brilliant successes that secured
for him the Weldon railroad. His only re-
verse thus far, in his attempt to reduce Rich
mend, has been the repulse Of his troops IN
their attempt to take the outworks in front
of Petersburg, after the explosion of his mine
before the Fifth Corps Sherman has had the
good fortune to be even more successful than
Grant. He has, in spite of the jeers Of the
enemy and foreign critics, and prognostica-
tons by them Of failure on account Of the in
security of the base that be left behind him,
marched from the Notifications Of Chattan-
ooga, fought and won without an exception,
battle after battle, defeated successfully John
ston and Hood; beseiged the we'll fortified
and defended mountain city Of Atlanta, taken
it; deceived Hood into an invasion Of Ten
nessee, where he left him in the clutches Of
Thomas; returned to Atlanta, which he de-
stroyed; and then cutting loose entirely
from his communications, commenced what
all authorities coincide in characterizing as
the most daring and hazardous Of military
movements march through the heart Of
an enemy's country of 300 miles. He secured
belt of region sixty miles broad on his
march; reached the sea-coast with a loss
quite uiting in numbers, with a large guam
tity Of plumber, and an army highly improved
and exhilarated BY the expedition; stormed
