The asms

night, this division was pushed across tho Blue Ridge, and entered ChsrloUville at 2 P. M. the next day. . The Mayor and principal inhabitants cams and .delivered up the keys of the public buildings. .'I had to remain at CbarlotUville two days, which time was consumed in bringing over from Waynesboro our ammunition and pontoon trains. The weather was horrible, and the rain incessant. The two Divisions were, during this time, occupied in destroying the two biitlges one over the Rivsnna River, and the other over Mouse's ', Creek, near Cbarlottsville, and the railroad, for a distance of eight miles, in the direction of Lynchburg. On the 6th of March I sent the First Divesion, Geji. Devan commanding, to Scot Uvi lie, on James River, with directions to send out' light parties' through the country, and to destroy all tnerchendLie, mills, factories and bridges on the Rivaona River, the parties to join the Division at Charlottsville. The division then proceeded along the canal .to Daguidsville, fifteen miles from Lynchburg, destroying every lock, and in many places tbe banks of the canal. At DuguidsTille we hoped to secure the bridge to cross the river, as our pontoons were useless on account of high water. In this we were foiled, as both this bridge and tbe bridge at Ilardwicksville were burned by the enemy upon our approach. Jferriit accompanied this Division. The Third Division started at the same time from Charlottsville, and proceed ep down the Lynchburg railroad to Amherst Court Honse, de stroying every bridge on the road; The bridges on this road are numesous, and some of them are five hundred feet in length. We have found great abundance in this country for our men and animals. In fact the canal had been the great feeder of Richmond. At the Rock fish river the bank of tbe canal was cut, 'and at New Canton, when tho dam is across the James, the guard lock wss destroyed, and tbe James river lt into the canal, carrying away tha banks and washing out the bottom of the The dam across the James at this point was also partially destroyed. I have had . ne opposition. Everybody ia bewildered by our movements. 1 1 bare no news of any kindinoe I The latest Richmond papers were of the 14th but contained nothing. I omitted to mention that the .bridges oa the railroad from Swoops Depot, oa the other aide of Stsoatoa to Char lottsville, were utterly destroyed. Also; ail the bridges for a distance of tea mSet on the Gordonsville Railroad. - ! The weather has been very bad indeedraining Terf bard every day, "with the exception or tear days, sines we started.

Three families in Winchester have been sent beyond our lines for attempting to procure the capture of Sheridan by getting up a sociable ball' to which he was to be invited, when Mosby's pucirillas were to make a dash and carry him olf. . ; ? ' : . . It is stated that within the. last eight months over four hundred newspapers have come to an untimely end in consequence of the exhorbtant price of paper. The members of the present United States Senate seem to desire the death of the papers that ret live. We don't blame them for certainly the less the people know of much of tueir domes, the bet ter their prospects of being retained in office. - - The oil excitement rages in Iowa. Several springs have been discovered in various portions of the State. Emigration to Iowa is aid to be unusually large, for the past few months. Land has increased rapidly ia price. The M anitowoc papers any a young girl in that place, named Mary Moore, having heard that aresnic was good to improve tbe complexion, procured some at a drug store, and before it could be ascertained what she had taken, the poison had done its work too surely to be counteracted, and the girl died in great agony. There are confined in Fort Delaware 2,000 rebel olllcers and 6,000 privates. Over 100 took the oath of allegiance on Saturday last. Ten of t-twj privates among the prisoners can sign their own names. XiTAn act for amending the Constitution of Minnesota so as to allow colored persons to vote has been passed by the Legislature of that State. The measure was introduced by Hon. Charles Griswold, and carried successfully thro mainly by his exertions. On the 28th ult., a delegation in behalf 'of the colored citizens of St. Paul presented him with an elegant gold headed cane as aa acknowledgement of their gratitude. XyGov.

Georgetown, S. C, whither the blockade runners, driven from Wilmington and Charleston, would naturally turn their attention, has been captured. A force has been sent to take possaavsion of St. Marks, Florida. We learn also from our dispatches that several blockade-runners have not been sn ccessful in their attempt to get to Galveston.whence wo infer that tbe blockade of that port has been strengthened.

The organization of the 152d regiment is now complete and the regiment will leave this week. Recruiting for the new regiments progresses finely.

From the "ew York UeralJ. . , l. Since the fifteenth day of last December our cuptures of artillery from the rebellion, Geld and siege pieces, brass, iron aad steel, smooths bores and rifles, American and English manufacture, of all sorts and sizes, from the little howitzer of a flying cavalry squadron to the ponderous, mahogany mounted Armstroug gun s of Fort Fisher and Caswell, have been about as follows: Guns Captured.

Gilmore at Charleston 90 160 Total... 845 Nor is this all; for, includiug the cannon lost by . the enamy , in the blowing up of their iron clads in the Charleston Harbor aud Cape Fear River, their aggregate losses are something over nine hundred cannon. A pretty good budget this for the winter campaign, and a very good explanation of the present panic at Richmond. Sharp Practice A bounty -jumper, whose name we did not learn, was captured at Anderson, on Tuesday last, with some difficulty, he having fired at the Soldiers who attempted to take him ; but was finally orerpowered, was brought to our city yesterday and placedjfor sife-keeping in tha "calaboose." During the forenoon, a stranger entered tbe Mayor's office, and Saked.for the key of the prison, stating to his Honor that he had a prisoner in charge whom he wished to secure. Thinking it was one of the Prorost guard, the Mayor gave him the key. In a short time, the stranger returned the key to the custody, of the Mayor, and left for parts unknown. About dinner tint?, one of the Prorost guards, brought the bountyjumper his dinner, and on entering the cell, he found it empty the bird evidently having baen let out of its cage by the stranger key -borrower ! Fire at Mcscik Countt Records Destroyed. The records of the County Auditor's office of Delaware county were almost entirely destroyed on Thursday night hy an incendiary. The building in which these records were kept contains offices of the County Treasurer, Clerk, Recorder, Auditor, and the law office of Shipley fc Kilgore. The incendiary entered the building through the windows. He fired the vault of the Auditor's office by piling up the records and papers, and saturating them with coal oil. The same was attempted in the Treasurer's office, but the heap failed to ignite. The fire was discovered in time to prevent any serious injury beyond that stated above. The motive which actuated the villain cannot be conjectured. Judge Demas Demiug, an old and respected citizen of Terre Haute, died on Friday last, in the TotU year of Lis age. i 661,923 20 has been .collected on the subscriptions for the bo mty fund in Terre Haute".

When the business is not understood, it is always better to employ an experienced person to attend to it during one season, from whom the method can be easily learned. It is better that the very robust varieties, like the Concord, Diana, et., should not be closely pruned; while the slower growers, like the Delaware, Rebecca, etc., should be cut into much more severely, as they bear the bulk of their fruit near the ground. The Wheat Prospect for 1865. So far all is favorable. The extensive ! and long continued snows of the winter I have well protected the wheat, and it seems to be coming out in the finest condition. It will be frozen out somewhat in the lower latitudes, but in the States north of the 4 2d parallel we think the crop will be heavv.

J ' j Although the work is chiefly devoted to bi- . ograpliy of workers in'iroo, yet the general : principles which it inculcates are industry, pa- j tience and perseverance. ; t - These principles are so interestingly portrayed, tbat almost all mechanics and workmen can obtain some instruction and encouragement from them. ' The. "Four Points" of Copperheadism i Edward A. ;Pollard, ' editor of the Richmond Examiner'" author of the 'Southern History 'of the War,", is a Democrat in good standing, residing in the city of Richmond. The Chicago Convention utterly refused to censure him or his co-rebels for their "irregular opposition" to wliat they all styled the Lincoln despotism," and which was then as fiercely denounced at Chicago as at Richmond. Never having been read out of the Democratic party, nor their acts disavowed, or condemned, by the authoritative convention of that party. Pollard and his fellow rebels still remain Democrats in good standing. Pollard has i cceutly spent a few months at the North, in the city of Ntw York and elsewhere, and while here Teuewed his old intimacy with the Democratic politicians of the North, especially of the city of New York. On his return to Richmond he published in a letter to the Richmond Examiner certain facts which are well known to almost the entire people, but to which ''Democratic" witnesses have hitherto been somewhat char' of con fessing. No doubt can rest in history that' at tlmo -f tti. rkioanr. rvr. troiitinu tli Democratic party in the North had prepared a secret programme of operations, the final and inevitable conclusion of which was the acknowledgement of the independence of the Southern Confederacy, It was proposed to get to this conclusion by distinct and successive uteps, so as not to alarm too much the the Union sentiment of the country! The first step was to be the proposition of the Union as it was, in a convention of States. If that was voted down, then the proposition 'of a new principle of federation, limited to foreign relations and to revenue. If that were rejected, then the proposition of an inter-confederate union, to preserve, as far as possible, by an extraordinary league, the AmerL can prestige ; and if all these propositions, intended as successive tests of the spirit of the South, were to fail, then at last the independence of the Confederate States, made sin qua non, was to be conceded by the Democratic party of. the North. When their choice could no longer hesitate. It will be seen from this sketch of the programme that the design of the Democratic party was to get the North on the naked issue of the war and separation. The plan, as we all know, utterly failed in its execution." Here we have the four points of Copperheadism. on which the pretended 'Democratic party" fought their last fight and lost their last battle. Only the first of these did they venture to name in their platform. The course to be pursue! if the convention of the States should fail was secretly discussed and understood, but not published. As Mr. Pollard, where not biased by his ardent devotion to the rebel cause, is a conscientious writer of much ability, and as his sources of information from Northern Copperheads, peaee men. spies and rebel emissaries, are extensive and intimate, his statement is entitled to great weight. t ' . It is well enough for the New York World, if the statement of Pollard is true, to style it a canard and pooh-pooh it without even an honest denial.. But if it is untrue it would be far more to the purpose to state what those who formed the the Chicago Convention did intend if a convention of the States failed. They were pressed for this answer throughout

All I pretend to sat-, on earth as in heaven, man must submit to some arbiter. He must ot throw oflT his allegiance to his Government or his God without just reason and cause. The South had no cause not even a pretext. Indeed, by her unjustifiable course, she has thrown away the proud history of the past, and laid open her fair country tor the tread of devastating war. She bantered and bullied us to the conflict. Had we declined battle, America would have sunk back, coward and craven, meriting the contempt of all mankind. As a nation, we were forced to accept battle, and that once begun, it has gone on till the war has assumed proportions at which even we, in the hurly-burly, stand aghast. I would not subjugate the South in the 6ense so offensively as sumed. but I would make every citizen of the land obey the common law, sub mit to the same that we do no worse, no better -our equals and not our su periors. I kuow, and you know, that there were young men in our day, now no longer young, but who control their ftllows, who assumed to the gentlemen of the South a superiority of courage and manhood, and boastingly defied us of Northern birth to arms. God knows how reluctantly we accepted the issue, but once the issue joined, like in other ages, the Northern race, though slow to anjrer, once aroused, are more terrible than the more inflamable of the South J-vcn yet my heart bleeds when 1 see the carnage of battle, the desolation of homes, the bitter anguish of families, but the verv moment the men of the South 6ay that instead of appealing to war they should have appealed to reason to our Congress, to our courts, to religion, and to the experience of history, then 'will I sav Peace Peace; go back-to j to your point or error, ana resume your ! i"lace8 as Aiucri can citizens, with all S their proud heritages Whether I shall live to see this period is problematical, but you may, and m&y tell your mother and sisters that I never forgot one kind look or greeting, or - ever wished to efface its remembrance ; but in putting on the armor of war I did It that our common country should not perish in infamy and dishonor. I am married, have a wife and six children living in Lancaster, Ohio. Aly course has been an eventful one, but I hope, when, the clouds of anger and passion are dispersed, and truth emerges bright and clear, you and all who knew me in early years will not blush that we were once dear friends. Tell Eliza for me that I hope she may live to realize that the doctrine of "secession" is as monstrous in our civil code as disobedience was in the Divine law. And should the fortunes of war ever bring you or your sisters, or any of our old clique under the shelter of my authority, I do not believe they will have cause .to regret it.
