FROM GRANTS ARMY.

REPORTED coSFEDERArE PREPARATIONS AND MOVE
MESTs.
A letter from the headquarters Of the 9th Army
Corps, dated 9Th instant, says; NJ
liz Is reported that for some weeks past large
numbers OF negroes have been at work throwing up
fortifcaiions Along the banks OF the Roanoke river
Several months since many old and experienced
officers surmsed that ii compeied to fall.back from
his present position he would form new defensive
line along that stream. The country is admirably
adapted the purpose, and the river will add
considerably TO the difficulties which an attaching
column wouli have TO overcome. The siege guns
from Petersburg aud Richmond have been sent off
in that direction, via the Dany!le railroad, and
many things seem to indicate that his army will
soon be en- route for the same place. ~
During the last few days several brigades of rebel
troops have been moved from fhc right the left
of their position, aud DICE UerSd. These movements
have doubtless been made with the expectation of
stopping desertions. Finngan's. Flbrida brigade
and others of Mahone's division are among those
which have been moved, and it Is from that division
SO maay desertions have, taken place during the
last three weeks.

FABLE FOR THE TIMKs.-It is related BY 1Esop or
one ofhs disciples, that certain boy was in the
habit OF alarming his parents and friends by crying
''wolf" and when they rushed TO rescue him he
would only laugh at them for their trouble. He re-
peated this freak once too Often for the wolf GANG
day, and though the boy called Justify for hep
none came. 1t Is undoubtedly wiser, when danger
threatens, TO be prepared against it an hour too
soon than q minute too late; but there is a good
moral In the table We have cited, and We commend
it to the reflection OF those whose duty is to see
that the wolves do not enter our fold. - .s.

The Washington Star of the sth inst. says
Information has been received here from Win
chester fully confirming the glorious news brought
into Grants lines by deserters of great victory
achieved by Sheridan over Early in thu Faiiey, 7.
The battle took place neaf WaynesborO and re-
su,ted in the capture by Sheridan Of forty rebel
oAkers, 1900 men, eight cannon and over 100
wagons,
Sheridan, when heard from via Winchester, was
still pursuing his victorious career and doubtles
has, ere this, smashed up Early's army completely,
and probably captured the redopbtable Early him
SELF las reported by deserters from Richmond.
WaynesbJro Is about fifteen miles from StaAlton
and twenty-five miles froR Charlottesville. So
thgrs il no doabI that Sheridan has reached Char
lottesville, and perhaps Lynchburg, ere this, If
these points were In his line OF march.
Charlottesville is situated at the junction of the
Alexandria and Lynehburg and Virginia Central
and Covington roads, and has never before been
visited by Federal troops.
Owing TO the fact that all the supplies gathered In
the Shenandoah Valley for Lee'a army have had 70
nass through the place, IL has been considered Of
vita importance TO the enemy. Its capture insures
now for the first time the destruction of the net
work Of railroads northwest of the rebel capital
The City Point correspondent of the New York
Herald, under date of 7th inst says:
The chief obstacle to be over come by Sheridan
was the subsistence of his command until he could
effect Judgment on or beyond the railroad, tbs
once DONE he would BE- enabled t. live on the cou-
try without difficulty The destruction of Esrlys
force relieves him from the approximations il would
have caused If lett on the flank or rear. No other
body OF troops is in the vicinity, be hastily
sent there, excepting from Richmond. His position
is such as to perplex aud mystify the rebels by his
ability to march upon either Richmond or Lynch
burg as circumstances may determine. II is kaOwa
that the rebels have drawn iaHr brgadss out of the
lines. Our front, hit whether they have been dis
patched to Lynchburg up the other railroad to.

The PresIdenT'S View OF The monroe
nnan nfrna

The New York correspondent of the
London Herald records conversation re-
ported to have taken place between the
President and a gentleman who called
upon him, in reference to the Monroe doc
trine The following are the observations
of the President, as given:
sMy mission is the Union. l feel that
if l can, within my term of office, restore
all the States TO their former relations with
each other and with the Union, and can
bring about as well harmonious, if not
an absolutely fraternal feeling between
North and South, l shall have merited the
applause of my countrymen, and earned
an honorable place in history. To the
restoration of the Union-in spirit as well
as in fact, shall bend all my energies.
shall permit no foreign question to in
terfere with the full development of my
scheme for such restoration. l have
enough to do without devoting attention to
other matters The Monroe doctrine is
all right 1 believe in it. But there are
greater principles at stake than those in
volved in thatquestion. When the Union
is restored it will be time for talking about
foreign aggressions on this continent. 1
shall do all / can TO make the Southern
people happy, and TO palliate the bitter
ness of their defeat.

greater the more nearly we examine it.

Liability OfRebeI Agents for Private
Property IMPRESSED

An important case was tried before the
United States District Court at Mem
phis, Tenn, last week 1t was that of
Park against Hamilton, and its history
was as follows In the wear 1862, while
the rebel forces still held possession of
Memphis, the defendant, Thomas A. Ham
ilton, was appointed by the rebel govern
ment an agent to seize certain sugars and
cotton, the property of merchants whom
1t was believed were purchasing and hold
ing such commodities upon speculation, in
view of the probable surrender of Men,
phis to the federal forces, and against the
laws of the rebel congress, and the declared
policy of that government; whose officers
were instructed to prevent the undue ac-
emulation of articles of prime CONNER
cial value APPOINTS As seriously threatened
as Memphis then was In obedience to
instructions then given him, Hamilton
seized number of hogsheads of sugar,
the property of DIR. A. j. Park
valued at $75,00O-and turned it over to
the rebel receiver or quartermaster, or
with other sugars at the time seized, sent
it south by railroad No vouchers were
given, but a memorandum was made at
the time of the value and number of bar
rels and hogsheads, and in some cases, we
believe, copies of such were furnished the
owners. DR.. Park now brings suit against
Mr.. Hamilton to recover the value of the
property so seized.
On the 2Sth ultimo the jury came into
court, and announced that they were
unable to agree upon verdict, and the
case goes over to the next term of the
court.
Another case of importance came up
before the court on the 2sth ultimo. 1t
was that of Thomas r. Chester against F.
Titus, r. c. Brinkley and others, members
of the vigilance committee, or such of its
members as are now living, to recover the
value of steamboat seized by that body
and afterwards turned over to the rebel
government and destroyed; and having
been resident of St. Louis during the
war, being all the while recognized as a
loyal man, if he establishes the fact of
seizure and destruction, according to the
charge of Judge Trigg in the case of Park
and Hamilton, he will, it is thought, re-
cover the full value Of his craft from the
parties sued.

A Young Woman Locked UP in n
Church for Three Days

Yesterday morning an advertisement
was brought TO this office, asking for in
formation of the whereabouts of young
lady who had been missing since Sunday
afternoon, and of whom no trace could be
found, and whose absence had caused deep
distress among her relatives. In the af-
ternoon Just before the Eagle went to
press, a gentleman came in to stop the
publication of the advertisement, stating
that the missing lady had been found, and
he related the following singular story ::
The young lady went on Sunday after
noon 10 the Presbyterian Church, corner
of Atlantic and Bond streets; after the
Sunday school exercises she went to her
seat in the gallery. The minister having
to leave town to attend the Synod, no ser
vice was held in the afternoon, and the
sexton supposing the congregation had
retired, closed up the church, locking the
young lady in the building all alone. She
says she tried to get out, but the doors re-
sisted her efforts to force them open, the
windows were beyond her reach, and she
was unable to make herself heard outside.
Here she remained close prisoner in the
church until Wednesday afternoon, when
the sexton went in to prepare the place for
the usual evening prayer meeting, and dis
covered the missing lady, who was in a
very exhausted state for want of food,
having been fasting in solitary contine-
ment for seventy hOurs.-Brooktyie Eagle.
