The Armies Face to Face and a Rattle Immincut. tSpedal Bespatcb to the N. Y. Times. J Ar.MV OF THB POTOM AO, BOEBETSOM’S TATERIf, Saturday, November 2S. All Thursday night troopß, sad ar tillery were crotaiug the river. A euffiolent force waa thrown forward, Thursday afternoon, on the Germania plank road, to oover the front. Friday morning the 6th and Ist Corps moved from near the river up the plank road, Gregg’s "cavalry talcing the advanoe, driving the enemy’s cavalry back, and skirmishing to Oak YVoods. At tills point, and one mile beyond, the enemy made considerable resistance, both sides having out Strong skirmish lines. Charge upon'charge was made on'both sides by the skirmish line. Theene. my were invariably repulsed, and finally suddenly introduced a line of infantry skirmishers to repel a charge. ; • We followed it up promptly by a oqunter move ment with infantry. For a few moments they forced our line back, but were finally repulsed by a-vigorous fire opened upon them from the 6th New York Inde pendent Battery, Captain Martin. The Ist Brigade Of Gregg’s Cavalry division, under command of Co lonel Taylor, did the heaviest part of this work. This brigade is composed of the lollowing-named regiments: Third Pennsylvania Cavalry, Fiist Penny Cavalry. , First Cavalry. First jyiaapJ®Wwtts Cavalry, First Khode Island Cavalry. At Oak Wood Companies K and L, Captains' Wight and Walsh, 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry, had the advance/ and behaved in the most gallant manner. Our left, last night, was two miles south of Hope Meeting House, or Oak Wood, twelve miles from Germania, on the plank road leading from rickstmrgto Orange Court House. Just as the iefcel infantry was so unexpectedly called upon to repel a charge of the Bkirmish line as above recorded, the advance of the sth Corpi came into position very opportunely. Throwing out a Btrong skirmish line, the enemy opened with a heavy fire of artillery upon it, which was responded to in a similar manner from our side y and for an hour quite a brisk cannonading was kept up on both, sidea. In one of the charges by the caval ry twenty* four prisoners were taken. As the.train of the sth Corps was turning from the brook pike into the plank.ro ad, a fire was sud denly opened upon it from a concealed foe, when one man and several mules were killed. The eminy were speedily dispersed by a detach* ment sent cut from the sth Corps for the purpose. Having crossed Germania Ford, the 3d Corps yes terday tdok the first road to the right, the Orange Court House pike. But little distance had been made before ttieene-* my 5 s pickets were encountered, and a lively skir- i mish was kept up to beyond Robertson’s Tavern. Here the* enemy brought forward their infantry, and for; two hours there was heavy skirmishing and considerable artillery practice, until it was quite gaifc ' . \ next on taeTijriit oi tiie sa corps la the ad oopps, and then again the 6th Corps. The 3d also had con siderable skirmishing in front. At one time;-last night a general engagement seemed imminent. The reason it did not come off in fact, was doubtless because neither side was ready. ' "We may have it to-day. General Custer, in command *of Kilpatrick’s ca valry division, wai so anxious to mix in the fight thafekseemed to be impending, that he made a dash across Forthwith the Michigan brigade and battery, and commenced wurk in real carheet, As the position he was in might become a ■critical one, and as his movement would somewhat interfere with other arrangements on foot/ he was directed to recrow the river. - fhisrnorningjinds' our 'whole army in and reedy for work. : Everybody seems to be in good spirits. May that be a harbinger of a decided vic tory ! , i The country hereabouts is one of the worst con ceivable for field operations. It is truly named the “Wilderness;” for a wilderness of small growth wood covers nine-tentha of the whole surface of the country. So dense are these young forests, that it is impossible to-penetrate them, except where paths are cutout. • This enabled-the enemy yesterday to hover on our flanks, often within-sight of a moviog column, al- impunity. It was not until late in the evening that our line in frout was so connected as to keep strangling parties of cavalry outside of our lines, - Duiing the day, it was impossible for any email parties to pars between the two parallel columns of|troopa without running the risk of be ing captures or shot. -r . At. abouth o’clock P.M., Lieut. .Gifford, post ad jutant at headquarters, accompanied by six otf\sr persons, attempted to cross from Gregg’s command on the left tb headquarters, six miles directly across on the roai where the 2d Corps had moved up. When about half way across, the party ran into a superior foref of the enemy, who fired a volley at the party* and then atartedin pursuit. A breakneck race ioipf bout two miles was the next thing on the prograu&'jtf ktuite a number of shots were fired at the fleeing pfc&y, but fortunately no one was wound ed, though a jnumber of shots came uncomfortably near. In thdrace, two of the party were unhorsed, and four loattheir hats, very glad to escape so easily. Several <3d!er small parties were fired upon in. dif ferent directions while attempting to pass from one column to another. Through some mistake the 3d Corps did not get into position as eoon as was expected, which gave the enemy teibporarily.some advantage. The 3d, however, promptly'met the emergency, and Buccecdea in captiHng between seven and nine hundred of the enemy i \ Some-toree hundred prisoners were taken at other partsofthe line. j SATtTBDAT'MOBNING, NOV. 5JB—lO O’clock. ijieutenanl Colonel Hesser, of the 73d Peausyl vahia, was killed yeateday in front of the 2d Corps.

The cooks, tent, and spvo were dirty—the peculiar characteristic—and tie tent where the nurses and attendants dined warin the same plight; although I am glad to say the tjble from whioh they ate was scoured, and looked veiy clean, as also the plates and cups..

Outside of these, there is an abundance of good water, and no excuse whatever for being otherwise than cleanly; but they seem to abhor soap and water—at least, their appearance so indicates. A great many are employing their time in making brick, and have now a great quantity on hand. Others employ themselves in making rings, chains’, seals, &c., from bones and gutta-percha; and, notwithstanding the complaint that they do not get enough to eat, you’ll find them on the main street, which they call the “’Change,’’gambling both for money and'rations. They have games at cards, reno* sweat-cloth, &c. Also on .this Btreet they do their trading—hard*tacE for tobacco, and to* bacoo for hard*tack.

Wendeil Phillips 7 Attach on Secretary Chase—The Margaret Garner Case* CFrom theCinciDhati Commercial.] In your paper of yesterday 1 eee an extract from a speech by Wendell Phillips, in Boston, in which, speaking of Secretaiy Ohase, he says: “ The Go vernor who sacrificed ; Margaret Garaer has no heart.” And a communication in the Liberator (Gar rißon'fl paper), attacking Secretary Chase, after speaking in a sneering manner of his devotion to freedom,say*: “Perhapsit may be so; but witl some person have the kindness to answer this ques tion, viz.: what was Mr, Chase’s connection with the mournful fate of. Margaret Garner!» I propose to answer this question, not for any S artisan purpose, but that justice maybe done to Lr. Ohase. lam fully, conversant with'the whole case of Margaret Garner, having been at that time prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county, Ohio, and the case being under my and manage ment. And so far from it being the truth that Mr. Chase “sacrificed Margaret Gamer,”or exhibited the fact therein that “he had no heart,” I unhesi tatingly say that no man could have done more than he did, or could have evinced a more lively interest in her-behalf. The case was one of a peculiar cha racter, and the entire community sympathized deeply in it. The facta are briefly these .* On the 28th of January, 1866, & colored woman, Margaret Garner, her four children, two other colored women, and two colored men, claimed tobe slaves of Moses Gaines,of Boone Kentucky, crossed the Ohio river, on the ice, below Cincinnati, into this county. The master pursued, in a few hours after, and procured a war rant ior their arrest from a United States Commis sioner. The marshal, with a posse, attempted to arrest them, when Margaret seized her children and attempted to kill them all, aa.ahe said, to prevent them from being taken into slavery. One she killed, by cutting her throat from ear to ear j two others were severely cut across the throat, and the skull of another badly injured, by blows from a fire shovel. She and the other negroes were arrested by the marshal, and placed for safety in the jail of this county. The Grand Jury being in session a few days after, on the Bth of February, brought in an inoictment against her, for murder, in the Court of Common Pleas of this county. The marshal claimed the custody of her, by virtue of hin warrant, under the fugitive-slave law, and the sheriff claimed her also under a capita issued by me on the indictment. The question of the ownership of the negroes was tried before the Commissioner, for some ten or more days, the parties being brought out, frercday to day, by the amrshaPa deputy and the sheriff’s deputies, -*■ each refusing to yield separate control ts> the other. The Commissioner finally decided to remand them to their owners. I immediately made a motion in court that the 'sheriff; make his return•uapon the capias. He returned that he found the parties in jaiJ, placed there by the marshal, and did not feel authorized to take them from his custody. The court then directed him,to amend his return, and state that he held them in custody. This was done accordingly. Seeing a conflict thus likely to ensue, between the State and National authorities, and feeling that the claim of the State to punish for & crime was superior to the claim of the master over his property, 1 determined and so instructed the sheriff to keep possession of the prisoners until the question could be thoroughly and legally tried, and, accordingly, wrote to Mr. Chase, who was then Go vernor of the State, to ask what course I should pursue. He immediately answered that he should hold the custody of them until the question could be : tried luliy, and that he would render any assistance in his power;-to hold them until the question of con flict could be decided. A writ of habeas corpus was then sued out by the marshal before Judge Leavittofjbe District Court of the Southern Dis trict of Ohio, and Governor Chase rendered, every aseiitance in hia power to have the question fairly ©Sieriajj sway- coxasisel -to-»eei take the one he did.

Leypoldt has brought ouithe fifth volume of his Foreign Library, it i B entitled “Human Fol lies,” and 1* a translation from “La Bfiteae Hu. maine,” a free-and-easy tale of Parisian lire, by Jules Noriac, .whioh has obtained great popularity, ia Paris. The tale Is Improbable, but amusing, and* we should question its morality, if we lived where the sins and fascinations of a consumptive larette (Ca mille) were not popular on the Btage, whether said or sung. The translation, by George Marlow, is the perfection of eaße and spirit. In this series, will immediately appear “ The Romance of a Poor Young Man,” “Mademoiselle La Guintinie,” by George' Sand, and “ Sybilla,” by Octavo Feuillet. . “Heimioh Heine,” by Matthew Arnold, Is the first of Leypoldt’s series of Modern Essays. It is more critical than biographical, but brilliant and analytic. We recommend it be carefully perused before the next ol Mr. Leypoldt’s new boohs is taken up—that book being Heine’s Book of Songs, translated by Charles G. Leland. Some: of our readers may not know, but it is a fact, that Mr. Le land is one of the best German scholars in this country. He has a thorough understanding of Heine’s varying moods and motives, and' possesses considerable power, with no small practice, of cor rect versification. His rendition of Heine's lyrics is very good; had he always followed Heine’s metre. It would have been excellent. ■ George W. Childs, of this city, is a publisher of judgment and enterprise. His National Almanack has never been equalled in any country, and he has raised the American Publishers’ Circular, , from the comatose condition of a mere advertising sheet to a vigorous existence aa the American Literary Gazette, as valuable to the millions who read as to the few hundreds who publish books. Last week, Tve no ticed, as it deserved, Mr. Childs’ latest publication* Alger’s “History of the Dootriue of a Future Life, a large volume which no thoughtful, truth-searching mind can ever think tedlouß; a work which it is very difficult to lay down. We should have noticed, long ago, two other standard works published by Dir. Childs. The first (an 6vo. of Seepages) achieved, some months age, the honor of going Into a second edition here. It Is a scientific and philosophical work, which the unlearned can understand, so plain and practical Is the author, and It la entitled “The Geological Evidences of the Antiquity ot Man, with Remarks on theories of the Origin of Species by Variation.” The author is Sir Charles Lyell, the great English geologist. The great question treated of ia, did Man co-exist with certain extinct mam malia! Human remains have been found adjacent to these remains of animals, some of extinct, Borne of existing species, and tbesubject is much involved In doubt. Lyell’s treatment of it is singularly full and fair, and his book goe3 nearer settling the dis puted point than any other. The second scientific work recently issued by Mr. Childs is “ The Great Stone Book of Nature,” by Professor Aostcd. It ia largely illustrated with wood engravings, and treats of many kindred subjects,' from sand to diamonds and other gems. The chapter on the Pre-Adamite world Is singularly interesting, and may be advan tageously read even artcr Lyell’e more detailed elu cidation Mr, Carletoa, of New York, is an enterprising publisher. To him we owe original translations?- of Victor Hugo’s “ Lea Misdrablee” and of his Life. Ke announces, among other novelties, translations of “The Life of Jesus,” from the Preach of MV Benau, and of “ Cffiaar,” by the. Emperor Napoleon 111. Among his latest publications there are some with which our readers may desire to be acquainted >. “Peculiar, a Tale of the Great Transition,’* is a* anti-slavery novel; written by Epea Sargent, of the Boston Transcript t a well-known and successful au thor. He has produced biographies, plays, poetry,. criticism, and several good school-books, but this,- we believe, is hia first raid into the realm of fiction* The tale is of our own time, and cornea down to the middle of October. The hero is a colored man, named “ Peculiar Institution,” commonly abridged. “Peek.” The incidents aie founded on facts com municated by General Butler relative to certain, zocial disclosures in New Orleans, and Mr. Sargent hasmadeasingulariy-impressive tale out of them* If there be any pro-slavery people in the North, tM» story will greatly stagger their fatalbelief. “Peek” is a man of action, worth a dozen puling Uncle Toms. Ail the scenes down South are full of life A&d energy; in ehorti a very readable book with &. WBlMßfineil puipwe. go Ms bHa Ike demand for it that Mr. C&rleton had to put a fourth edition to press before he could issue a copy. We have t® inform the author, however, that he errs (on page 49) in designating an English baronet as a “noble man.” : “Alice of Monmouth: an Idyl of the Great War* and other Poems,” by Edmund O. Stedm.m, is pub lished by Carleton. It is a story of the time, well written (for its author is a poet), but withlittle more than the skeleton of a plot. Seme of the introduced lyrics are very spirited. The miscellaneous poems, gay and grave, are good. “The Russian Ball; or, The Adventures of Miss Clementine Shoddy,” by a New York Editor, is a brochwfeA n verse, lively-and satirical—a passing hit at a past-folly, with special record of the New York practice, at public, festivals, of the gentlemen de vouring the supper before helping the ladies even t© a glass of water. ' j “ The Yaehtman’s and Amateur Sailor’s Primer,** by T. Robinson Warren, published by Carleton, will be in some request ia- this city, now that we have organized a yacht club. It is a mulium in parvo oV nautical information to help amateurs. A few novels have appeared since our last notice. Harper & Brothers have added “ Mary Lindsay,” a tale of English society, to their fine series of select standard novels—a collection of modern fiction, which is alibrsry'in itself, at about one-tenth of the foreign publishing price. Every incident in “ Mary Lindsay. 1 ? ‘ might have occurred, and the interest though notvsensappeal, is well maintained to the last. Mr. Burnham, of Boston, has published “Rumor,** a posthumous novel, by the late Elizabeth Sheppard author of “ Charles Auchester.” It is a very- singu lar work, the hero of which is a German musician* Among the .characters is Louis Napoleon, before and after his eleyation 1 To confess the truth, it is heavy work to readjhrough, (as we did,) the whole of this volume of verbosity. Parts of it are good, remind ing us of “ Consuelo,” ■ put the story is at once di dactic, rhetorical, and “ long spun out.” The sequel of Fierce Egan’s, “The Poor Girl,” has been published by Dick & Fitzgerald, New York ; it is entitled “ Hagar Loti” and though a little too much in Reynold’s manner, without his sensuality, is an exciting, though thoroughly, impossible* ro. m&Bce of modem life. Very dififersztf from this sen sational story is “Good Society; or, Contrasts ef Character,” by Mrs. Grey, , who has written nearly 88 many novels as Scott, Jamea, or Bnlwer. She understands English society, and has here delineated.' Beveral of its phases .with even more than her usual spirit and skill. ? The story is very readable and tho - incidents are probable, without ever being common-- place. Published by. John Bradbura, New York. x The sixth number of J, G. Gregory’* SiandarSi Series , is a novel entitled “ The Cruellest Wrong of All.” It is a well-written, painful story, full of mystery and. trouble, and ending sadly. Books for young people, so abundant at this season*, when Christmas-boxes and New Year’s gifts abound, are gLOt very plenty just yet. Lindsay & BlakUtoa have issued “ The Girl’s Library,” a collection of six well-written stories by Mrs, Ho witt, Mrs. Myers* and Miss Harriet B. MeKeever, handsomely got up, with illustrations, and admirably adapted for girls in their ’teens.—-The Philadelphia Episcopal Book Society publieh “The Oiled Feather,” a tale-of country folks written by an English clergyman.— Messrs. Martien, of Chestnut street, have sent us “George Morton and' hia Sister,” by Caroline M. Trowbridge, a story of more than ordinary merit. We suggest that, in future stories, the author, weed her dialogue from such vulgarisms as “I wculdlike to go first rate,” “Hikeit first,rate,”and. so- on. Young people may get the idea that such expressions are correct because she uses them. - “Frank and Rufua” and “Little by Little” are juvenile tales, from the same publishers. c ‘our Sunday-School,*and HowweConduct-St,” is a 16mo volume, by Waldo Abbott, published by Henry Hoyt, Boston. It is an eminently practical little book, the result of experience in teaching. All connected with Sunday-Schools will. derive con siderable information from its pages,. The Rev. John S. C. Abbott (author of the well picto rial biography of Saint Napoleon) has contributed & . brief introduction. ■ The Devil's Coffee Mills Army. B. F. Taylor, the chatty correspondent of the .
