inds in the illuminated columns of an auctioneer's advertisement: commodious mansion, productive grounds, orchards of apple and peach, never-failing springs, oak groves, salubrious atmosphere, and a refined and intelligent neighborhood. Ah! here is a Paradise. The terms moderate! "What a fool the owner is to sell out! Going into the army, I suppose." Well, here Mr. Snooks will retire from war's alarms, dusty streets and muddy hydrant water. No high prices, no city taxes, no McClellan and Grant deepening the blue of the horizon and shelling you like an oyster. There Snooks will cut his own wood, and raise his own bacon. A green oasis in the desert; and the proprietor greener still to part for a small sum with such an Eden. Alas, for the vanity of human expectations. Snooks has scarcely begun to enjoy his new possessions, and is, perhaps, some calm, moonlight night, sitting on his porch and contemplating the beauties of nature, pitying, from the bottom of his soul, the poor, cro

papers of Thursday, the 9th instant. The fight at Hatcher's run — an unfortunate opening of Grant's campaign — he Tries to intercept Lee in Evacuating Richmond. The secret of Grant's movementGrant's movement on Monday last, which resulted in his disaster at Hatcher's run, is published in the Yankee papers. It appears that he had received intelligence that Lee was going South, and made his movement to ie Hatcher's Run affair of last October. It is too soon to say what was the exact purpose of General Grant--whether or not he would have brought on a general engagement had the circumstances seemed fw building from the Weldon to the Southside railroad, intended to fill the gap occasioned by General Grant's occupation of the former road. The effort is spoken of also as a reconnaissance. But thehn R. Mulford, Union agent for the exchange of prisoners of war, has, under the direction of General Grant, in whose charge everything relating to exchange has been placed by the Government, succeede

The latest news from Grant's army is given in the following paragraph: The Army of the Potomac still held, on Tuesday evening last, all the groundGrant's army is given in the following paragraph: The Army of the Potomac still held, on Tuesday evening last, all the ground along and west of Hatcher's run, which it so bravely wrested from the rebels on the two preceding days, and it was believed to be General Grant's design to permanently maintain the new position, which the men had already strongly intrenched.

The troops effecting this extension of the left of the army of the Potomac lines were the Fifth corps, two divisions of the Second, one division of the Sixth, and General Gregg's cavalry. The fighting on Monday of the Fifth corps and the cavalry, with the rebels, was of a very severe and stubborn character. The only disturbance of the quiet on Tuesday was caused by an attack of the enemy on a portion of the Fifth cor

Petersburg — capture of some negro cavalry. Since the 5th instant no fighting has occurred on the Petersburg lines.--Grant seems to have made good his hold on the position on Hatcher's run, and is still strengthening his entrenchments thrown up there. The Yankee papers acknowledge this last attempt of Grant to be a signal failure, though they of course lie about his loss. This we must expect. It is part of their system of carrying on the war to magnify their successes and conceal their persons who have visited the battle-field, we learn that the Yankee loss last Monday was not less than fifteen hundred. Grant set out to seize the Southside railroad. In this he failed; but he took Hatcher's run. Whether this position turns out tad joined our scouts, has behaved on many occasions in the bravest and most acceptable manner. Since their operations in Grant's rear, Captain Shadburne's scouts have turned over to the Government one hundred and twenty horses, eighty mules, and so
