Whil the bloody battles of Spotteylvania were in progress. Gen. Grant sent a dispatch to the War Office at Washington, in which he stated that he would . " fight it oat on that line if it took all summer." After eight days of terrible slaughter, without making much . headway, Grant discovered that the route selected for him by the Administration at Washington, which Gen. 'McClellan had condemned, and all sensible military men bad condemned, was wholly impracticable, and to attempt to reach Richmond by a long line through the wilderness and swamps, and over a dozen rivers, all strongly fortified, was the madness of political folly and military imbecility. Hence, we find that Gen. Grant, in opposition to the mulish obstinacy of Messrs. Lincoln and Stanton, has at length been compelled to seek a new line of advance and a new base of supplies. He is now on the very line selected by Gen. McClellan, with the York and Pamunkey rivers as a base of supplies ; and probably the next battles for the possession of Richmond, will be fought on the memorable ground passed over by General McClellan two years ago, viz : Fair Oaks, Sav" age Station, Tunstall's, Gaiuse's Mills, and Malvern Hills. But while the rebel defences hare been greatly strengthened since 18G2, Gen. Grant has an army over twice as large and better disciplined and. equipped than that under Gen. McClellan ; and is therefore in a better condition for aggressive operations. , Nearly the entire available force of the Army of the Potomac, is now at the disposition of Gen. Grant, with a carte blanche to direct military operations as shall by him be deemed best. While 40,0)0 of McClellan's army were kept idle under McDowell on the Rappahannock, by the Administration, and were prevented from marching to Yorktown, according to agreement, McClellan's strength was was still further reduced by the transfer of some 15,000 of his men to Mountain Department, under Fremont ;and thus, after the great armies of Lee and Stonewall Jarkdon had combined. General McClellafl, with his army reduced by terri-blefighting, and all reinforcements denied him, was compelled to fall back before a superior force, to the James river. It was then that the Administration., instead of affording aid to McClellan. ordered him to leave the Peninsula, and fall back towards Washington, so as to resume operarions on the fatal fields of Bull Run and Fredericksburg. ' Whether or not Mr. Lincoln will order Grant, after he has fought his way, like McClellan, to the very gates of Richmond, to fall back to protect Washington, remains to be seen. If the taking of Richmond by Grant, would put an end to the rebellion, apd restore "the Union as it was." .with Slavery, no doubt Lin- j coin & Co., ; would 6eek a pretext to 'instantly remove Grant from service, as they did McClellan. The Abolitionists are determined the war shall not eud until slavery isi completely destroyed. The Chickahominy . Before Gen. Grant reaches the bffif. of fortifications on the North an! East of Richmond, his army will have to cross that fatal little river, the Chickahominy. This stream, which rUea'North-west of the city, flows around it in a South-easterly direction, and empties into the James river. It is a narrow, shallow boggy stream, and after a heavy rain its banks overflow, producing a swamp on either side that is wholly impassable. There are or were a number of bridges over the Chickahom iny, that can be crossed by an army, which are distant from Richmond as follows : Bottom's Bridge, 13 miles east of the city; Sum ner's Bridge, where GenSumner crossed his his corps at the battle of the Seven Pines, 10 miles east of the city ; Woodbury's Bridge, near Qold Arbor, (where the fighing has been going on during the past week,) 8 miles east of the city ; Meadow Bridge, 6 miles north of the city ; Mechanicksville Bridge, 4 miles north-east of the city. Before falling back from the Chickahominy the rebels will, if they have not already, destroy all these bridges ; but that is a matter of small consequence. They, and four or five others at intervening points were built by Gen. McClellan's army, at the points most favorable for crossing ; and Grant will have to do the same. Fiendish Ontrage. Near Springfield, Illinois, last week, a soldier drove up to the residence of a prominent clergymen, seized a little child of the ministers, aged ten years, and carried her off into the woods, where he perpetrated upon her person an iuferaal outrage. The child is represented as having1 been very delicate, and iras, it is feared, fatally injured. The ruffian gave his name as John M. Phillips, and said he belonged ta the Sixteenth Illinois infantry. He was arrested, and while undergoing an examination at the magistrate's office, the father of th. child sprang upon him and struck him on the forehead with a brick, inflicting a severe, but not fatal wound. The bleeding wretch was then taken to Jail. At-oight a large crowd of people gathered about the door of the jail, and forced an entrance: bat the prisoner had been J removed by . the sheriff. The next day the man e examination was continued at the courthouse, but a brother ot the poor Tictim of brutal lust put an end to thaproceedinjra by ahoot lag the soldier, inflicting a fatal wound. I& There is only one Abolition paper in the City of New York thai heartily supports the Administration of Mr. Lincoln the Tinut'. Tha -7V&m 'iH aadCbsMMrcia; ars all aainsftt rall-hBtter. ' ' J ' - , . Praying for the President. In the Episcopal Church service there is a special prayer for the President of the United States, which many well-meaning folks deem it duty not to take part in. They think that Mr. Lincoln, by his illegal, despotic acts, has forfeited all claim to the prayers of Christians. We look at the matter in a far different light. It is not Abe Lincoln, the clown, that is prayed for ; but the President of the United States the Constitutional head of the Government. But even supposing that Mr. Lincoln is as vile a sinner as his worst political enemies claim him to be, that fact, instead shutting, hitu out from the prayers of the virtuous and good, is the best reason in the world why he should be prayed for by all true Christians, who, while they may loathe his corrupt and wicked administration, should supplicate the Throne of of Grace, to convert the Presidential mountebank into a God-fearing Executive, and make law, order, morality and honesty, take the place of tyrannical rule, corruption and general demoralization, which are the sure precursors of national destruction. The Office Holders' Convention. The Convention of Abolition office holders, which assembles at Baltimore, will undoubt edly nominate Mr. Lincoln for re-election. As none but the tools, employees and retainers of the Administration will be permitted to take part in the deliberations of the Convention all other classes of people being considered " disloyal," and enemies of the Government, ' (meaning Abe Lincoln,) all opposition to the reign of King Abraham will be completely squelched. The office holders and shoddy contractors, whose living depends upon the continuation in power of the present incompetent, corrupt and wicked Administration, will find that it is a more easy matter to nomi. nate than to elect the " Illinois clawn." The country is heartily sick of Jacobin rule, and the corruption, thievery and. immorality that have followed in the train of aUnion-destroying Administration. The Threatened Shooting of Prisoners. "Cleveland," the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, in a late letter, writes : ' I regret to say that there are rumors afloat, as coming from the Congressional Committee charged with the Conduct of the War, to the effect that rebel prisoners are to be shot in retaliation, it is said, for the alleged killing of negro troops at Fort Pillow andelse-where. I am apprehensive that these rumors are too well founded to be discredited as unworthy of consideration. This comes from an attempt to make the negro the equal of the white, and will inatiguraTe W raEfnfafeTra of tlie war when the. black dag will be carried by both belligerant parties, and no quarter shown to prisoners or rather when no prisoners will betaken. The wives, parents and kindreds of the white troops can not contemplate such a period without ashudder. The negro troops are wretobedly poor, and should never . have been put in the service. Noth frig but the in-tiane desire of New Englrud Abolitionists to force upon the country the condition of negro equality with whiten, have brought us to this condition, and jeopardizing the lives of our white troops as retaliating sacrifices lor those of negroes." Pointed Very ! ; Gen. Cluseret, in giving " American Military Sketches" in the Revue Rationale, speaks rather disparagingly of the " hero of Vienna." Writing of the campaign in Virginia, he says. "Gen. Ualleck entrusted the command to three of the most incompetent Generals in America, all old men and ignorant of the profession of arms-Gen. Schenck, the General commanding, a Cincinnati lawyer ; Gen. Kelley; commanding North of tke Potomac, n civillian and railread employee; and Gen. Milroy, in command at Winchester, an Indiana farmer. Need we wonder that such combinations produced such deplorable results." 'A Bespattered Eeformer." Elizur Wright says, in the Boston Daily Advertiser, that he was present at a conversation when the President was urged to give Gen-Fremont an ither command (he having thrown up one in a huff, and that the President gave no other reason for not doing it but this, that Fremont is "a bespattered reformer." JB " In Chicago, the other day, twenty men were drafted, who had been dead for eev-eral years." Journal. Iead men have also been drafted in, all the districts of this state. In this war, every age, sex, color and condition, have been enlisted, and now Lincoln "in extremis," as a dernier resort, has determined to press the dead into the service. Chase, at Indianapolis, declared that the nation must be born again there must" be a new birth and Lincoln " sees him two better," by trying to resurrect the dead. In his egotism and coceit he may fancy that he had Almighty power, but time will dispel the vain illusion I Lincoln is in terrible bad humor in consequence of the opposition he is meeting in the ranks of his own party, and more especially those. who have been raised to power and place by him. The other day, in speaking of (jren. Cochrane, the nominee of the Cleveland Convention for Vice President, the joker said : " Cochran got the star, not for his merits, but his brass." Probably the sanae remark might be made of a good many other political generals, of the abolish persuasion . j . An army correspondent of the Steuben-ville Courier, in writing from the gunboat Kenwood, off Bayou Sara, La., May ISth, states that two-thirds of all the gunboat, men are tor McClellan for President ; the remaining third are mostly in favor ot Lincoln, while afew are tat Fremont and Butler.

EXCITIXG TRIALS IX COC.VTY. TIAIIOMXG Mob Law in Youngstown Female Vig-ilance Committee Correcting the Hor-als of the Place The Shoddy Aristocracy in Trouble Men in Petticoats and Women in Breeches, Tar and Feather Two Lewd Sisters Heavy Verdict Agaainst the Amzons. An exciting trial recently occurred at Canfield, Mahoning county, in wliich a gang of rowdy men and woman of the neighboring town of Youngstown were found guilty of outrageously maltreating two women whom they charged with improper conduct. The parties implicated in the mob belong to the Shoddy aristocracy of the town the character of which may be gathered from the testimony in the case. Youngstown is one of the most la wless, fanatical and infamous Abolition places on the reserve. The majority of the people approve of mobs, frequently participate in them, and, as it now appears, the women have taken a hand in the lawless proceedings for which the place is noted. Men have been stoned in the street for expressing their opinions, printing offices are destroyed and robbed, by these people, under the impression that they were ordained to promote morality by exterminating what in their cracked and crazed minds they conceived to be Wrong. On the evening of the 21st of March last an outrageous assault was perpetrated upon the persons of two females residing at Youngstown, Ohio, named Mrs. Louisa Stearn, and her sister Emma C. Ross. These woman where charged with keeping a disreputable house, and a preconcerted arrangement was made, by a number of men and women of the town, to enter their house by force, on the night above designated, and tar and feather the objectionable females.. The scheme was carried out to the letter, and the mob was characterized by the grossest violence and brutality.- The men and women who participated in the disgraceful outrage were generally disguised, but most of them were recognized by the woman assaulted, and suit was subsequently entered against thirty or more of them by Emma C. Ross, who laid her damages at $25,000. The case came up for trial on Monday, in the Common Pleaa of Mahoning county and excited an extraordinary degree of interest in tne community.' The tea tamony was rery oldminona, and we subjoin a few extracts-, &om wbieb thej main facts may be gleaned? 4 i THE PLOT. Miss Ann Niblock testified as follows: Mrs. Hiram Park came to my sister's house at 4 o'clock that afternoon ; she said the aristocracy was going to put down those Ross girls: that they had seperated Powers and wife, and had caused trouble enough in families; they were going to cut off their hair, and tar and feather them, and destroy their fur niture, dresses and $150 set of furs; she wanted my sister to go. We went to Mrs. Park's house that afternoon ; Mrs. A. J. Packard, Sarah Murray, Mrs. Mary Niblock and Mrs. Park were there. When we came in Miss Murray inquired if these ladies wished to be dressed ; it was about 6 in the evening ; no one then had a disguise on; saw several revolvers; ladies handled them; Mrs; Park put one in her pocket; said she knew how to use it; she said she had cayenne, pepper to throw in their eyes, and scissors , to cut their hair off; said they got the tar of Mr. Packard, who said he would supply the turpentine if they wanted it. 1 went up in the eve ning with them; saw Mrs. Harber com ing out ot the house; she said the tar made her sick; I said, 44 Oh, Mrs liar ber," and she slapped her hand on my mouth. Mrs. Park and James Reno were to be on hand ; he was a good fellow. She said they were taking up Mrs. I'owers cause; understood that Charlie Howard's family were seperated by plaintiff; Howard was a man of in fluence;. Emma was about sixteen years old when she went away with Howard; don t remember seeing Emma on the street for a year after Howard left her; Ross family boarded with us when they first came to Youngstown; am a daugh- ter of Benjamin Niblock, who formerly kept the Union House. Other witnesses corroborated the above testimony, showing that the assault was preconcerted. STATEMENT OF THE PLAINTIFF. Eiama C. Ross mauo iLo following statement: - - - " - My sister, myself and our two children were all that were in the house. My sister was in bed sick up stairs. The children had gone to bed; one up stairs and one down stairs. I heard some one out in the alley ask " Is this Mr. Ro ss'8 house?" The answer was "yes." I heard a gentle rap at thedoor; I open ed it and a man dressed in a wrapper came in, and took toe by the throat; I screamed. 1 hey rushed in, seized me. pushed me down, tied my hands, cut off my hair and put tar and feathers on my head. They cut open a pillow to get feathers; there were five or six persons had hold of me ; others had sticks breaking the furniture. My sister came down stairs and they seized her; there was a bright fire light in the room. Mrs. Ade- lia Wick was there: it was Theodotus Harber who took me by the throat. He was disguised with stripes down his nose and a loose wrapper on. I believe Mrs. Hannah Ames was there; Eliza Wick was there; I think Laura Wick, John Wick, William Wick, James Reno, J araes Raynon, and Henry Bonnell were there. My sister called out the name of Tulia Seeley, Sarah Parritt and Lucy Packard. As she called their names they would turn their backs. My sister did not come down until they had cut off my hair and were putting tar on, when they seized . her. John Wick and William Wick came in while I was on the floor, walked round and went out. . James Reno was as the door with a club in his hand. The women said they would fix me; would take my head down and make me look pretty; would take my English out of me. .It seemed a long time while they held me on the floor, though it jnight have been put a short time. They forced feathers in my mouth. Hamilton, Brothers and Fifield came in and rescued me. I went up stairs as soon as the crowd went out; there was a light up there. In about five minutes some one came up the outside stairs. James Ryan ordered tha door open; said "he would shoot me if I did not open the door, and would throw me over the stairs if I did. " I Said 'I will shoot you." I had nothing to shoot with. He said, "Come boyjs, let us go down and. storm the castle," and went down and threw cinders. The first cinder struck the lamp; the second hit me; the the mark has not left me. Sister cried "Murder," from the window, they said yes, yes, we hear you." Two men came up outside stairs; said they were friends; let them in; they took us, with children, to Mrs. Simmons. Rode over to Mr. Drake's next day and stayed there that week. I wag assisted into the carriage " by St. Clair; could- not stand straight from the effects of the weight on my breast; have been very nervous since. It was three or. four days before I could have my head cleaned. I thought there was virtrol in the tar, but found it was poppy; it stung my eyes and flesh; my face swelled. When Hamilton came in I bad , given aip my life; I was thinking of the other world and of my ooy. x baa ceased feeling a want of breath. I' .was not able to speak to tell them not to kill me, or to get up from the floor They: destroyed all' the furniture, and took away gloves, perfumery, albnin, silver needle' case, thread, cic "A : I- MRS. STEARNE'S STATEMENT. Mrs- Louisa Stearne testified, in substance, as follows: - I was sick in bed; had been sick two days; sister had just left the room, I heard a scream;left my bed and went down stairs; some women caught me by the hair and dragged me into the room. I then called out their names "Julia Seely, Sarah Parritt, Sarah Park, I know you." They cried 4tW will spoil your beauty; we'll take the English out of you; your career in Youngstown is'ended." I saw my sister on the floor; four or five holding her; one of them was a man in wo-mans clothes; I saw his pants below bis dress. They cut off my hair and put tar and feathers on me. . Mrs. Seely, Laura Wick and Sarah Park cut my hair; about forty or fifty in the house when I came down; they had cut the hair of miy sisters head,, put tar on it and feathers. Her face was purple, and when they left her she was apparently lifeless. Hamilton lifted her up and she fell. He then set her in a chair. They had a sponge o tar and feathers strangling my sister. They did not leave my sister till I screamed. : I said, "My God! Somebody is killing my sister." .. - I had a struggle with Seely for the scissors, when she was cutting my hair, and got them. She said, "Laura quick another pair of scissors." They beat me and bruised me, and poured tar on the top of my head. When I took tha scissors she was attempting to mutilate my person. Here the witness exhibited a pair of scissors with one handle bent, and demonstrated how thev were bent in the struggle. It took some days to take the tar off. One of the pei sona present asked for pepper; there was pepper in the tar. They did not get me down. My sister's hands were bound with ropes. My child was in bed up stairs; my sister's in the bed below. I was married to Stearns and after his death to W. D. Johnston, from whom I was divorced. -" THE VERDICT. " After a great! deal of testimony, in which several of the defendants proved that they had no ; participation in the mob, and others that the reputation of the iouse was bad, rebutting testimony was offered ta prove that the house was not of the character alleged, . The case was ably argued to the jury, who retired on Wednesday , evening. On Thursday morning they rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the sum . of $5,000 damages against the following defendants: Henry Bonnell,. Sallie Reno, Julia Parritt, Mary Bonnell, Wm. Bonnell, John Wick, Francis Reno, Ra-chael Reno, Eliza Harber, Sarah Bon nell, Eliza Wick, James Rayen and A. J. Packard. The defendants demanded a second trial, which is allowed by the Court on defendants giving bond in the sum of $10,000. . From the Detroit Free Press, Jhuo'I . Practical Miscegenation Daughter of a Wealthy Farmer Elopes with a Negro Laborer The Fond Parents Encourage the Tender Passion. The particulars of the Judson-Pontic Joe amalgamation case are still fresh in the minds of most our readers. The occurrence was startling at the time and shocking to nearly every mind. It was plain to see in it the practical ten dencies of the' doctrine of abolition, so extensi vely taught by the dominant par ty. Uut in these days the . results of those teachinjgs have become more plainly apparent and miscegenation and abolition are now prominently before the public. Cases similar to the one which startled the good citizens of Pontiac have now become so common that they cease to cause astonishment, and have come to be considered quite a matter of course, indeed they are a matter of course among the members of the party in povfer and instead of being shocked at the disclosure of practical amalgamation, they claim to be proud of it and have adopted it as a pet doctrine. JLhere are some Republicans yet who would not suffer their daughters to marry negroes, but they are all drifting to ward that point, and a few of the more simple hearted Republicans of the rural districts are proud to be honored with a negro son in law. These men are putting into practice the vile teachings of their leaders. Here is a striking instance which happened during the past week in the neighboring town of South-field, in Oakland County. The particulars are vouched for in every respect. The name of the farmer is withheld, as the parties are well known in the neighborhood where the circumstances transpired.A farmer residing in Southfield, who is reputed to be wealthy, espoused the Aboli tion doctrine, and being more sincere than many of bis associates, believed in putting - his odious doctrine into practice to the fullest extent. He claimed that a negro- was as good as a white man, and, . to show the cineerky of bis opinions, employed one of blackest Africans he could find, and took him into the bosom of bis family and treated hnn as one of bis own offspring: Uis confidence in bim was was such that be' gave np a g)od share of the manage- ment oxVhis farm and business into tbe bindi of tbtnero and tbe latter reward-. ed the farmer by running away with bis daugnter. i no daughter was a young lady about sixteen years of age, said to be intelligent and very prepossessing in appearance. She bad been educated in the belief that the negro is a superior being, and bad a practical illustration put before ber of ber father's estimation of the African race. . She could not be blamed for . also ad-mi ringthe sooty Ethiopian, and with proper encouragement her admiring ripened into love. With the knowledge and consent of the parents the two were allowed to be much in each of her's society. They took long strolls by moonlight and indulged in all those little delights which are popularly supposed to make courtship so sweet. The affair culminated in an elopement, though there is no reason why they should have pursued this course, since it was not known that their union was opposed by her parents. One night last week the farmer was disturbed by a noise outside the house. He got up and raised the window, but did not discover anything unusual. In the morning the negro did not make his appearance, and the daughter was also missing. On going to her room it was discovered that she had flown with br negro paramour, taking her trunks and all her clothing. Since then nothing has been heard of them and no effort has been made by the father to discover the whereabouts of his daughter. It is supposed that they have gone to Canada, probably on a wedding tour, and will yet return, when the doting parents will receive them with open arms and establish them in a home of their own, as a living illustration of the beauties of practical miscegenation. Startling Developments A Society for the Abduction of Virtuous Young Females An Albanian President. During the paat few months several respect-al.le young girls of our city, as well as other in the western part of the State, have mysteriously disappeared from their homes, 'and no trace could pospiMy be ascertained of their whereabouts, notwithstanding the most diligent search was made for tlum. Recently, however, some startling develoments hav come to light through the arrest of a young girls named Jennie Thompson at Uiicsy who was attired in male, habiliments, and went under the assumed name of James Thorn fon. Upon searching her some enormous rascally documents were found, making startling revelations. There was a manuscript copy of what purported to be the constitution and by. laws of the "Knights of the Secret Circle." In this document the objects of the Circle tin said to be to kidnap and send to New York city houses of prostitution young and virtuoita girl. It i otau-d that after their being kidnapped a drug is to le administered to them, and their action under its influence will deter-, mine whelheror not they are virtuous. If not-they are to be released. We may say here that there is no drne which will determine any encb questions. The manuscript; ut signed by iweaty-four persons, members of the decret Circle. A. Cary, of A!bany, is President, and Cary and one Patrick Farrel. are Directors. Other names among the twenty-iour are those of Theodore and Iliram Andrews and their wives. Appended is a list of nine young girl whose abduction is considered feasible and advisable. One of these, Esther A. Parks, who disappeared May 10th. and Miss Barnett. daughter of lion. James Harnett, both of On e-ila county. Also be names of three men, (Gerrit Smith, C. D. Miller and Stewart.) who have been marked for vengeance. Thi is oiie of the most damnable organizations ever conceived by wicked ujinda. Albany Knickerbocker. . Thurlow Weed and Mrs. Lincoln. - Washington Correspondence of N. Y. Hearld. Thuriow Weeil propped to call upon Mrs. Lit-coin and pay his respects to the wife of the President and accordingly brushed himself upaud called for that purpose. It appears ' however,- that a short time previous a proprietor of one of the leadiug hotels in your city, in the" presence of Weed and three or four other gentlemen, said, in a joking way, when asked if there was any news. "That it was reported that General Ualleck and tbe.Secretary of War (Stanton) had decided to remove Mrs. Lincoln from Washington and send her home to Springfield." Weed replied. "That he did not knw whether the report was true or not, but tLe ought to have been 6ent away long ago." Mrs. Lincoln, it seems, was stopping at th Metropolitan at that time, and a person who heard the statement informed Mrs. Lincolr. The result was, when Mr. Weed called upon her ladyship, after his proposition to the Pree-dent, she acensed hirn of making that statement, and refused to allow him to sit dowe.' and turned him out of the house. This is the sequel to the story that baa been industrjouslr circulated secretly f n regard to M rs. Lincoln using the broomstick to Mr. Weed. Shoddy Cotton. " The newspaper press throughout the country complain of the exeeenHive prices charged for printing paper, that which a few years ago cost from seven to eight cents per pound, i now selling for twenty-one cenm. The paper maker complains that tbe increased cost is the result of the enhanced price and the scarcity of rags. Why thie latter fact is so waa a problem to us, until explained by a friend. The rajra are used in the manufacture ot shoddy cotton, being ground op and then mixed whh the long; staple, and then wove into cloth, joat woollen rags are used to manufacture fine broad cloths, for tbia purpose taking the place WOOl.,;. : Shoddy cotton is a new branch of manufacture, and we understand it' pays well. Like all other shoddy, whether woolen or political, it is a cheat, and has no rood wear in it, yet none the leas popular in these days of national and political degeneracy; on that account:" The "Way. to Save the Country.
