April 7tS, 1S64. 38 tf WILMINGTON, N. O., JUNE 9. 1864 Tnt Situation. We hae as yet received nothing by telegraph cal cinated to throw light upon the object of Grant in withdrawing from the whole or the greater part of Lke's front, and the speculations in the Richmond pa pers do not give U9 any assistance in coming to a con clusion. The Sentinel thinks he is moving off by his left flank. If he moves thu3, the Sentinel says it will lead him farther from Richmond, but it may take, him nearer to the Cbickahomioy, .and he may probably eucceed in striking it before Lee, at some of the lower bridges. The Enquirer thinks that tha Long Bridges, or the Forge Bridge, over the Chickahominy, in Charles City County, may be the point to which (J rant is directing his march. lie will soon turn up. By to-morrow or sooner, we may receive Bnch information aa will inform us of Giunt's position and what he is about Tbe Richmond Evquirtr gives some extracts from a letter written to a friend in Richmond by a soldier in General Lee's army, among te rest, this : 'The fUht on last Friday waa very severe. The enemy's loss is reported to have been heavier than at the Wilder ness. A farmer reports Grant to have said that he would try Lee a few days longer, and ii he could not succeed, he (Lee) m'ght take his d d little Confederacy and go to h U with it." This correspondent says that " His (Grant's) strength is believed here (in the army) to be 130,000." All our accounts from the armies in Northern Geor gia are meagre and unsatisfactory. We do not know why it is, cut we always ieel unsomfortable under such a state of things. We have somehow a painful sense of impending disaster, which we are al ways happy to have removed, and in this case it will remove a considerable weight from our minds to hear of good news from General Johnston's army. We had looked forward to something ere this, which might have been iealizad but is not. We have been looking and hoping for Forrest in the reir of Sherman, and so have the press and the people of Atlanta, but these expecta tions and bopes seem doomed to disappointment. There are many who think Forrest essential to the restora tion of the campaign in Northern Georgia, bat who , are by no mcars confident in the be lief that he will be employed there, however necessary his employment may be regarded. They say that Gen eral Br acq's preference for Gen. Whkklkr is so de cided as to preclude tbe chance of Forrest s being em ployed where he is most needed. We trust that these fears are unfounded, but beyond doubt General Braqq's prejudices are pretty s trong and nearly inveterate. Woyetd Homts for tbe Soldiers. Too ranch praise cannot be g ven to the ladies of the Solditre' Aid Society of this town, by whose exertions a Wejsid? Home has been established here for the re lief of our w uaded and suffering soldiers passing through. All that unwearied attention and thought ful kindness can do is done by these patriotic ladies, who find their boat reward in the consciousness of hav ing been the means of alleviating the Bufferings of the gallant defenders of their ouatry. They seek no other reward and desire no emblazonment of their names To carry out and continue their humane and patriotic work they do need, however, all the assistance that the liberafand benevolent can afford to render them. Whai is given to the soldiers through them is sure to reach them directly and in a manner the best calculated to alleviate their sufferings and thus carry out the wishes of tee donors. Praise is a'sa due to those resident physicians of town, wto, true to tha coble instincts of their profes sion, have- freely given and are giving tneir attendance and their services at the depot. We wculd soy to al', give liberally ; it is A duty you owe to your country, to your country's soldiers, and to your own heart and conscience. Bat while giving lib era'Iy, give with discrimination ; give not simply for tbe purpose of giving that is but a means the end is to relieve suffering, and contribute to the comfort and eupply the wants of the soldiers. Look to that. Un derstand for yourselves that what you do give actually reaches the soldiers actually forwards the ends you have in view. Know well to whom you give. Mere random giving, because solicited to give, is only halt giving. The soldiers who, aa fighting the country's battles, represent and embody the country's cause, have a claim upon your time and thought, as well as upon your mere money. For some time to come, at least during the pendency of the terrible struggle in Virginia, and for weeks af terwards, .the energies and means of the communities along the lines of railroad leading South from that city, will find abundant employment in attending to tbe tick, wounded and euffcring. Let them do that well, and they will have done much far more, indeed, than tLey could possibly do by contributions to this one, that one, or the other one, for indefinite objects connected in a general way with the soldiers. . :. It may be said that these remarks 'embody nothing new that everybody knows all that, or it may be ob jected that their tendency would be to restrict benevo lence within too.n arrow a limit. Now all this may ap pear to be so. All we wish is that what everybody koowa everybody would practice. " Cbarity," tbe proverb ajp, "begins at home " of course it should not end there, but will it not strike any one as being something absurd or worse, for any one to ask or any one else to give contributions for " the soldiera" in a general way, while passing their own doors, as it were, they can daily fiod sick, snffV-ricg, woanded soldiers by the hun dred? Until these are attended to, we can see no use in looking away in the distance for objects which we can find under our own eyes. But perhaps we have extended thes8 remarks too far. We set out with the view of directing attention to the noble nd praiseworthy efforts of the ladies of the Soldiers' Aid Society, and of bespeaking for them the further assistance of the libera' and benevolent in town and country, in order that they may be enabled to continue thtir good work and met the daily increasing demands upon them. .We a'so desired to urge the establishment of wayside homes at other points aloDg the lines of railroad? 9outh of Rich mond ; or at least to suggest that at d fierent points on the routeuch arrangements be made a3 the means of tbe several communities will permit. A g?ass of milk, a drink of cool fresh water a few little acts of thought ful ktndnes?, would do much to cheer and refresh tbe sick or wounded soldrr, thirsty, fevered and worn down by travel. We wished to urge this matter as the one first to be attended to by communities along the Iinrs of travel. We wished also to point oat the necessity of well-directed, intelligent efforts, of efforts made for definite objects, and accomplishing thfse objects. Calls have increased, are increasing, and will, no doubt, con tinue to increasa. 'Under these circumstances neither means nor efforts can afford to be thrown away or mis directed. ' Family Squabbles. At any other time it would amuse us considerably, if not more, to notice the virulence with which tbe dif ferent " sects " of the u Conservatives " in this St&te turn upon and abuee each other. They do it with a vim that shows a natural turn that way, -and with a flu ency and adroitness that could only be acquired by long practice. They say so many hard things of each other -these Holdem and Vance men do that they place us independent people in a delicate pre dicament. If we are to believe what they say of each other, then we must conclude that they are the most abandoned tinners on tbe top of the earth, and onght, long ago, to have been put forty five feet end seven incheB under it. For the proof of what we say, we refer to the Raleigh Standard and Progress on one hand, and the Raleigh Conservative on the other hand. If we do not belk ve what they say of each other, we wiil be forced into the conclusion that they (will somebody supply the word) upon each other constantly and outrageously. Neither alterna. tive is complimentary. It is painful for us to adopt either, but they will have it so. They are all good M Const ivat ives " and from our own experience cf the way in which both sections or sects " have abused all who would not bow down to their dictation who were stubborn enough to thick that from first to last the South was light and its cause was just how they called them " destructives." ostracised them and miarepresented them, we must confess that we lean to the latter alternative and thins that probably they go a little too far in their accusations against each other. But then, on the other hand, they ought to know each other. They have been acting together they have been riding the same Ao66y-horse , but have only quarrelled tft last because more than one wanted to ride in front. IIoldek thinks his turn ought to t ave come the incumbent is partial to the "Advance" and don't like to go behind. They still agree in de nouncirg the " destructive?," but they can'c all ride i n front ; that is the trouble. It is a pity that they should not agree, but when some people qaarrell, etc. So far as mere party matters are concerned the Vance m Conservatives " and the Holden m Conserva tives " in tbe Legislature which recently adjourned, were abcut qnally venomous that is, if there were any avowed Holdeh men ;(we know that the'-e were men who in fact out-II oldened even Holden) were equally ready to nullify and prodaca conflict bat ween the State and the Confederacy equally ready to He fionnce the " Destructives," and so on. All this cn situted tbe " Conservative " Shibooleth. But the Independent Voters ef tbe State share none of the epirit that appears to animate either of these "sects" or sections of tbe opposition. They identity themselves with neither. Tbey simply deprecate conflict and electioneering squabbles at a time like this, and to avoid such conflict they have expressed themselves wiliiug 10 not only waive opposition to Governor Vance, but, maugie bis surroundings, to give him an independent support for re election. They have believed and stiil believfc him to be, spite ol his party bigotry, in the main pa triotic "and true to tha cause in wbica the Couftderacy is engaged. In doing so, tbey have waived many eauart of opposition, and have been called upon, and are -Ml called upon to exercise no common degree of forbear ance, a forbearance which now they exercise as a vir tue, but which un ier other circumstances might be a crime. Some mistaken frierds of Gov. Vance, if indetd they be friends, seem inclined to task this forbearance to the ulmcst-, to the great and evident satisfaction of his "Conservative" opponents. Men are not made of adamant, and there is a possibility that this may be, if it has cot already been carried too far. Even forbearance has its limits, and there is a point at which patience ceases to be a viture. Rbllro&d Travel. We axe informed that the running of double daily trains has been resumed on the W ilmington & Weldon Railroad, leaving Wilmington at 10.30 A. M. and P M. A mail will be taken on each train, and one car lor passengers on the night train North and day train South. We suppose the other trains will have the usual passenger accommodations. We have been furnished with the following compara tive table of distances on tbe Seaboard Route and tbe Upper Route via Danville, Greensboro', Charlotte and Columbia to Kingsville : tjppib route. MT.LE8. 141 60 93 109 'lb 418 Richmond to Danville, Danville to Greensboro', -Greensboro', to Charlotte, Charlotte to Columbia, Columbia to Kixgsville, SEABOARD BOUTS. MILES n 3 162 471 Richmond to Petersburg, Petersburg to Weldon, Weldon to Wilmtngton, Wilmington to Kugviller 418 From which it Would appear that the length of travel is precisely the same on either route, with one less change of cars on the lower. We are not infprmed as yet as to whether the Wil mington and Manchester Railroad rai roads the Bame arrangement as to runniog traics that the Wilmington and Weldon Road has done, but think it very probable. One of our town phjeicians who was in attendance at tbe Railroad Depot on Tuesday, assisting ia dress ing the wounds of cur soldiers passing through, men tioned to us an incident. He wa? dressing the wound a very painful one of an officer, received, we think, near Richmond, when tbe officer remarked " Well, Doctor, they did hit me pretty hard, but how we did slaughter them." This seemed to compensate him for all his 6nf -rings, and he appeared to think no more of bis own hurt. Cheap Papebs The only papers on the continent that do not go up in price, are those issued by Secre taries Chase and AIemminger. It is true their circa iation is immeLse, but the issue of the new series by Secretary Memminoer is very irregular.
