A dispatch from Washington says that the gov

moving towards Staunton* The enemy made at
tempts to take advantage of tbe gaps in the Bine
Ridge mountain, and annoy General Sheridan's

Saturday between Gen. Torbert'a cavalry
battle
aud that of the enemy lasted several hours. The
latter, it is stated
al hundred killed and wounded and about 800

routed with a loss of
prisoners.
Advices from the Army of the Potomao up to
Tuesday morning report some firing along tbe
Union lines fronting Petersburg, but not sufficient
tu indicate that an engagement was in progress.
General Forrest, who has been operating
General Sherman'« communications,after destroy
ing the railroad bridge over Elk river meved to
Pulaski, Tenu. There his advance was suddenly
cheoked, so the Washington dispatoh states. A
later telegram from NashvilU says that Ferrest

Skirmishing was kept up all Monday, and at night
the Union troops held Pulaski. The Union loa*
during Monday did not exoeed eighty men. The
skirmish line of the enemy was on Tuesday ad
vanced to within half a mile of the yesition
pled by Gen. Rousseau.
Prioe is reported to be massing his forces in the
Arcadia Valley.
Tbo fact of Gov. Brown, of Georgia, having
tendered peace propositions to Gen. Sherman, is
again announced in the Louieville Journal.

Every Democrat should attend the

How true were their predictions the
present ruinous state of the country

not permitted to stay the tide of evils
that have down from the accession of
the Radicals to power, it is now your
duty to meet in council and by united
florts endeavor to modify, to some ex

in irretrievable misery and woe.

The Monroa Doctrine Flouted.
A friend sends us the following tranelation from
the Memorial Dijilamatique, of August 28, 1864 :
Wmtklug
Inn mill recognize the Mexican empire. But Mr.
Liuooln, (eating that those who
him in politios may
him in the eleotlon, has
not to accredit a minister from the United States
to the Emperor of Mexioo until tbe eleotlon for
the presidency."
The Memorial Diplomatique is considered
of the best European authorities in all mat tars eg
international concern, and is very cautious as to
Us statement«. This, therefore, shows the under

wbat President Lincoln intend« to do, and his

Dr. Radway's Ready Relief is a household
remedy; every family should keep it in tbe
house; every traveler should carry a bottle with
him; it will, if seized with pain or sickness, or
if you meet withacoidenrs, falls, bruises, strains,
sprains, afford immediate aid. Hundreds, by
its timely use, have been protected aguinBt se
rious llluess. Oue 35 cent bottle is
you good, and may aave your life. A tea spoon
ful ioa wineglass of water, if weak, fatigued
saized with paiu, will, in a few minute», allay
all painful symptoms, and as a tonic will prove
serviceable than all the bitters and liquors
