EASTERN NewWs.—On Thuraday, the 25th . ult., a terrible battle was fought for the poss session of the Weldon railroad. » The enemy ‘made an attack upon the centre and left, and after a most desperate fight the rebels were driven back, leaving their dead and wounded upon the field. ‘In a dispatch dated 3 p. M., the 29th, Gen. Grant says: “Their loss on the Welden road seems to be above ours. The enemy can’t stand it. I think I don’t overrate the enemy’sloss in the last two weeks in stax ting it, at 10,000-killed--ahdwounded. Wee: lost heavily, but the most of those lost were captured.” Grant also makes the following report: “On the 25th the enemy drove in Butler’s line of pickets. The guard soon rallied and drove the enemy back and re-established the line.” ; A later~dispatch states that the enemy had abandonéd the Weldog railroad and that -the Union troops destroyed the road and bridges for forty .miles. E Our forces advanced to within two miles of Petersburg without opposition, The Union cavalry 1s making a raid upon the Dariville road. The news from Sherman is of the most cheering character. His plans-for the reduces tion of Atlanta are said to be working to the best advantage. No demonstrationa have been made by the rebels on the Upper Potomae. 5 Ruwers are current in’ New York. that the.Government has decided to send five commissioners to Riehmond to arrange ptes liminaries for peace. ~ The commissfon is to consist of three Democrats and two Republicans. Itis-very improbable, Fitzhugh Lee waa killed and A. P. Fhill mortally wounded in the battle of the 21st, on the Weldon railroad. Te RCE Ate es THE STATISTICS of the class just graduated at Harvard are publistied. When they entered in 1860, the number was 112; and by additions afterwards, made up to 144; but the number graduated was 96. Of these, in religion 40 were Unitarians. 20 Orthodox, 18 Episcopalians, 8 Baptists, and 8 of other denominations. Yn politics, 74 were Republicans, 12 Democrats, 9 Union, and one nothing. As two-thirds of them were from Massachusetts, they stood about as the State sfands. “Of their sociabhabits we have the following, which is not favorable to Harvard college—61 smoke, 80 drink, 57 both smoke and drink, 4 smoke but do not drink; 23 drink but do not smoke, and only. 12 neither dtiak or smoke. This is certainly a bad beginning for young men of 21 just staring outinto the world. The intentions of the close for the future.are these—31 will engage in law; 18 in business; 10 in medicine; 5 in.the army; 3 each in civil engineering, the miuistry and teaching ; 2 in . jterary affairs; 1 each in farming, as a naturalist, afarmer and a sheep raiser; 17 are undecided.

M., the 29th, Gen. Grant says: “Their loss on the Welden road seems to be above ours. The enemy can’t stand it. I think I don’t overrate the enemy’sloss in the last two weeks in stax ting it, at 10,000-killed--ahdwounded. Wee: lost heavily, but the most of those lost were captured.” Grant also makes the following report: “On the 25th the enemy drove in Butler’s line of pickets. The guard soon rallied and drove the enemy back and re-established the line.” ; A later~dispatch states that the enemy had abandonéd the Weldog railroad and that -the Union troops destroyed the road and bridges for forty .miles. E Our forces advanced to within two miles of Petersburg without opposition, The Union cavalry 1s making a raid upon the Dariville road. The news from Sherman is of the most cheering character. His plans-for the reduces tion of Atlanta are said to be working to the best advantage. No demonstrationa have been made by the rebels on the Upper Potomae. 5 Ruwers are current in’ New York. that the.Government has decided to send five commissioners to Riehmond to arrange ptes liminaries for peace. ~ The commissfon is to consist of three Democrats and two Republicans. Itis-very improbable, Fitzhugh Lee waa killed and A. P. Fhill mortally wounded in the battle of the 21st, on the Weldon railroad.

When they entered in 1860, the number was 112; and by additions afterwards, made up to 144; but the number graduated was 96. Of these, in religion 40 were Unitarians. 20 Orthodox, 18 Episcopalians, 8 Baptists, and 8 of other denominations. Yn politics, 74 were Republicans, 12 Democrats, 9 Union, and one nothing. As two-thirds of them were from Massachusetts, they stood about as the State sfands. “Of their sociabhabits we have the following, which is not favorable to Harvard college—61 smoke, 80 drink, 57 both smoke and drink, 4 smoke but do not drink; 23 drink but do not smoke, and only. 12 neither dtiak or smoke.

It takes hold of delicate fabric del ieately, and of a strong one with strength.
