The following telegram in relation to the

was received this morning.
Nothing later has reached this Department
EDWIN ID. STANTON, Secretary OF War.
Hon. Edwin NJ. Stanton, Secretary Of War:-At
1a.aop. m. to-day General Grant telegraphed
me as follows:
"There has been much hard fighting this
morning. The enemy drove our left from near
Dabney's House. back we'll towards the Boyd
town plank road.
"We are now about to take the offensive at
that point, and i hope will more than recover
the lost ground"
Later, he telegraphed again as follows:
sour troops after being driven back on to the
Boydtown plank road, turned and drove the
enemy In turn, and took the White Oak road,
which we now have. This gives us the ground
occupied by the enemy this morning.
II will send you rebel nag captured by
our troops in driving the enemy back. There
have been four flags captured to-day"
"Judging by the two points from which Gen.
Grant telegraphs, infer that he moved his
first of the two dispatches.

From a window in New York hangs a crutch
shrouded with Grape, and inscribed with the
words, Our loss. Thereby hangs tale. A
woman sits at the window who has given her
all to the country No panoplied catafalque covers
the remains of her husband, yet she sorrows
She gave him up for her country's sake, and he
lies on Gettysburg bloody field. With leg
gone he was slowly moving about when he was
stricken down again. Our late President, visit

heard his last words, Good bye, Carrie-meet

consolation to the widow of John Dinsmore,
to be sent with his crutch and fifty dollars from
his own purse. The widow has sacred right

Marching Home.

We are marching home Mt last,
Now the cruel war is past,
And the time Of peace draws near;
We are marching home at last,
Now the cruel war is past,
To the homes our hearts hold dear.
With our banners stained and torn,
That through many a fight were borne
Where death rain-d thick and fast,
Now our glorious work is done,
Now the Union cause is won.
We are marching home at last.
Marching homo to those we love;
See the veteran columns move,
Hear the drums and shrill flies play,
Hear our voices raised in song
As We proudly march along
On our homeward way.
With our trusty arms we come,
To the sound of fife and drum,
Now the cruel war is past;
Light of heart and glad are we,
Having served the cause TO be
Marching home at last.
All day long we march till night,
Then beside the canp-fre's light,
Underneath the starry dome,
1t is sweet to close our eyes,
While the night-wind softly signs,
On our march toward home;
And in sleep to dream we hear
Friendly voices sounding near,
Bidding welcome rs we come,
Till at length the morning breaks,
And the happy dreamer wakes
TO the beating of the drum.
Then once more upon the way,
March we on at dawn of day,
Now the cruel war is past;
Light at heart and glad are we,
Having proved the Right. to be
Marching home at last.
