THE WAJR.. VIRGINIA, The moat important movement of the past week in the Army of the Potomac, has been the great raid of Wilson’s cavalry. Their mission was to destroy certain rail roads leading to Richmond and Petersburg. This is a part of Grant’s plan which we have alluded to before—the isolation of the rebel army and the rebel capital. Wilson seems ■to have done his work thoroughly, and though he has lost considerably in men and munitons of war, in returning from the ex pedition, the injury done the enemy is suffi cient to over-balance such losses. We give detailed account of the raid. Wilson’s Cavalry Raid. The third division of cavalry, under Gen. WilsoD., left the Army of the Potomac on the 20th of June, on a raid toward the Dan ville Railroad; having in view its destruction as far as possible. After an absence of nine days, part of his force reached the head quarters of General Meade on the 29th ult., under command .of Capt. Whittaker, of Wilson’s staff. Wilson’s command consisted of his own and Kautz’s divisions. Not halting on the way out to more than temporarily break the Weldon Road, which he did at Reims Sta tion, he moved rapidly to Burkesville, the intersection of the Danville and Richmond and the Petersburg and Lynchburg Roads, thirty miles from Richmond. Then to the work of destruction with all the might of thousands of active men. TJp to this time he met but little opposition. With head quarters at Burkesville, he dispatched com mands in each of the four directions where lay a railroad. In this way, on the Danville road he burned bridges forty miles apart, and thoroughly destroyed, to the burning of every tie and the twisting of every rail, some twenty miles between. On the Petersburg and Lynchburg road he utterly destroyed thirty miles, and fired bridges outside of that distance. All the track was composed of strap iron placed upon wooden supports. The destruction of the onejaaa the destruc tion of the other. As (he Track was torn up it was placed upon the wooden sleepers, and burned until it was bent and useless. A locomotive and a train of cars were surprised at one station, and before the engine could move off all were in the hands of our men. The cars were crowded with refugees from Petersburg. All the cars, with the locomo tive, were destroyed. Having effected the object of his raid, he now looked out for his line of retreat, al ready threatened by gathering rebels. He tured to oome back. He met skirmishing right, left, front, rear, but nothing not easily ridden through until the night of the'2Bth ult., at Stony Creek, on the Weldon road, eighteen miles below the head-quarters of the army. There the enemy had concen trated in his front, and attacked him late in the afternoon, and a severe" engagement ensued, lasting into night. He met the Bame force that had been dealing with Sher idan north of Richmond. The result does not seem to have been decisive, although the losses sustained and inflicted were large. During the night of the 28th ult. he turned the enemy’s flank, coming in between him and Petersburg, preferring that to the other flank and a longer march. So far as the force he had been fighting is concerned, the move seems to have been successful. He eluded it, and would have reached our lines by noon, but for the rebel infantry column, whioh Capt. Whittaker discovered and rode through. What new plan he adopted on meeting this new element in the problem of bis return—whether he decined to halt and withstand an attack, or march back on the path he had oome—is not known. Whitta ker had scarcely reported when Gen. Meade ordered the 6th Corps, the neafest, to march to Wilson’s support, as an offset to the rebel infantry, and such of Sheridan’s cav alry as had come up from Windmill Point, where it crossed the James, was also ordered to hasten in the same direction, The Sixth Corps marched early in the afternoon of the 29th ult., divested of all impediments, stripped for marching and fighting. When the Danville road was completed, two months ago the Richmond papers pro nounced it worth more than a victory. By a parity of the loss of it is worse than a defeat. It is probable that this expedition has broken off the work of provisioning Rich mond for a siege. The two lines cut were the last remaining communications of the Rebel capital. The Richmond and Danville Railroad waß the sole link between Richmond and Atlanta—assumieg, what we are entitled to believe on rebel' authority, that the Weldon Railroad has been for some time in the undisputed possession of Gen. Grant. It was vitally important, therefore, not only as an avenue of supply, but as the means of rapid exohange of troops between Lee and Johnston. As matters now stand, Lee must fight his battles with what forces he has. The other road which Gen. Wilson has cut in two, the Petersburg and Lynchburg, formed the only communication, save the James River Canal, between Richmond and Lynchburg, which latter place has been and doubtless still is an important depot of sup plies of all kinds. And it strikes us as prob able that Wilson has done a very important service' somewhat incidentally. The two divisions, comprising nine brigades, which Lee sent to repel Hunter, were still at last accounts in the neighborhood of Lynchburg, and are, therefore, cut off from immediately re-inforcing Lee in case of urgent necessity. Arrival of the Raiders within oar Lines with what remained,of his reached the lines of our army on the Z& inst. His command was worn out by fatigue and fighting, having been absent twelve days during which they marched be tween three and four hundred miles. Find ing it impossible to cut through the rebel lines at Ream’s Station, and no help coming from the vicinity of Petersburg, Gen. Wilson ordered his command to retreat under cover of night towards Suffolk. Having crossed Nottoway River about thirty miles below Petersburg, they struck for the railroad and crossed at Jarrett’s Station, and bearing southward crossed the Blackwater at the county road bridge, and came into our lines at Cabin Point, five miles southeast of Fort Powhatan. Gsn. Grant’s Dispatch about the Raid. Gen. Grant sends the War Department the following dispatch, giving the results of Wilson’s operations. Sixty miles of railroad were thoroughly destroyed;: The Danville road, General Wil son reported could not be repaired in less than forty days, even if all the materials were on hand. He has destroyed all the blacksmiths' shops where the rails might be straightened, Mid all t]b« mills where scant ling for sleepers could be sawed. Thirty miles of the Southside Railroad were des troyed. Wilson brought in about 400 negroes, and many of the vast number of horses gathered by his forces. He reports that the Rebels slaughtered without mercy, all the negroes they retook. Wilson’s loss of pro perty is a small wagon train used to carry ammunition, his ambulance train and wagons were generally brought off, Of the cannon two were removed from the carriages, the wheels of which were broken and the guns thrown into the water, and one other gun had been -disabled by a Rebel shot breaking the trunions before it was abandoned. He esti mates his total loss at from seven hundred and fifty to pne thousand men, including those lost from Kautz’s division. GEN SHERMAN’S DEPARTMENT. It is characteristic of General Sherman that he advises the public aB promptly of his failures as he does of his victories. And when he does fail, which is not often, he never stops to select a string of euphemisms to convey a false impression to the public. With him a “ repulse” is a repulse, and a “defeat” is a defeat, just as his “ victories” are real victories and not shams. Thus on the 27th ultimo lie promptly notified the people, through the War Department, that he had made a combined assault on John ston’s lines at Kenesaw on that day, and had failed, after losing over two thousand men. Upon this the public of the Atlantic cities, who are unacquainted with Sherman’s habit of telling the worpt of his operations right out at once, began to imagine that his army had met with such a disaster as that of Chickamauga, and that the campaign against Atlanta had come to an inglorious end. But mark the sequel. General Sher man had advised the public of the. full ex tent of his repulse. It was just what he described it to be and nothing more. He was quite ready on the 28th to begin again, and he did begin. Finding Kenesaw (which is a mountain of eighteen hundred feet in height} too strong a position to be carried by storm, he commenced a series of maneu. vres to turn it on the flank. Johnston was obliged -to abandon his strong works on the mountain and fall back toward the Chatta hoochie river. On the 3d of July General Sherman had his head-quarters at Marietta, a town of some importance on the Western and At lantic Railroad, one hundred and eighteen miles from Chattanooga and just twenty miles north of Atlanta. It is in a rich farming and mining region and very heal thy, being on the highest ground occupied by any railway station between the Tennessee and the Savannah rivers. Our army has thus made another forward step in its grand and wonderful march from Chattanooga to Atlanta. Its leader moves on as if he knows no such word as fail. His objective point, as the people are aware, is Atlanta, the great centre of the railway system of Georgia. At that point he strikes the junc tion of the Atlantic and Western the Georgia road, leading to Augusta; the Macon and Western, communicating with Savan nah ; and the La Grange, extending to West Point and thence to Alabama. The capture of Atlanta breaks up the rebel transporta tion of troops and supplies on all these roads. But the interruption of railroad commu nication in Georgia is but one of the points of advantage that we gain by the capture of the city upon which General Sherman has made this last successful advance. It is a great centre of -manufactures as well as of railroads. The most valuable of the rebel armories, arsenals, founderies and factories are now (or were lately) established in At lanta. These once destroyed and Jeff. Davis will be deprived of another large por tion of that aliment which enables him to carry on the work of rebellion. Hence the capture of Atlanta and the destruction of the railways, armories, founderies, factories and depots there, will be a material victory of the most valuable character. That Gene ral Sherman will succeed in his grand ob ject, there is not the slightest room for doubt. This last event proves that conclu sively. If Johnston could not bar his way at Resaca, Allatoona, or Kennesaw, he can do it nowhere. &. Dispatch From Sherman. The following telegram dated July 3d, at Marietta, Georgia, has been received at the War Department. It gives the official re port of the successful flank movement: The movement on our right caused the enemy to evacuate. We occupied Kenesaw at daylight and Marietta at B'3o A. M. General Thomas is moving down the main road towards the Chattahootchie, General McPherson'towards the mouth of the Nick ajack, on the Southtown road ; our cavalry is on the extreme left. Whether the enemy will halt this side of the Chattahooohie or not will soon be known. Marietta is almost entirely abandoned by its inhabitants, and more than a mile of the railroad iron se cured between the town and the foot of the Kenesaw. Why Kenesaw Mountain was Evacuated by the Rebels. On the 23d ult., Gen. Hood's corps, in Gen. McPherson’s front was withdrawn, The movement seems to have been com menced on the 21st ult. Gen. Schofield, on our right, moved forward after the capture of Pine -Mountain, and crossed the Nicka jack Creek, followed by Gen. Hooker. There Gen. Sherman found him, at a right angle to the rebel line, on Kenesaw Mountain. Johnston was compelled by this movement to change his direction,, it beiDg north and south, and still covering Marietta. Gen. Sherman, however, kept moving bis right southward, thus compelling the rebels to abandon Kenesaw, and lengthen their line southward. The object of the maneuver ing on our part was to compel Johnston to occupy ground whose natural advantages for defensive battle would not be so great as a.t Kenesaw. Our efforts are so far successful, but the enemy still hold high ground about the head waters of the numerous streams rising near Marietta. Their line is supposed to be the same assaulted by Howard and Hooker, parallel with and somewhat west of the railroad, the right covering Marietta. On the 23d ult. the rebels made an assault on the left of Gen. Schofield and the right of Gen. Hooker, and were repulsed with severe slaughter, losing three hundred killed. On the 24th Gen. Ewell was reported to have relieved Gen. Johnston, who goes to command at Richmond. The truth of this report is not known, but Ewell is believed Itobe at Marietta. The indications are that PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, {JULY 7, 1864. a battle will take place near where the armies are now massed, as Johnston is so closely pressed that he cannot get away be yond the river safely. RESULTS OF GEN. HUNTER’S OPERA- Gen. Hunter has been giving the rebels great trouble for the past two or three weeks in the Shenandoah Valley. The damage in flicted upon them in that region cannot soon be repaired. Much as this portion of Virginia has suffered before from our own and the rebel army, it has been so completely deso lated by Hunter’s command, as to be little if any use to the rebels hereafter. Gen. Hunter, with the whole of his com mand, had arrived safely at Charlestown, W. Va., without the loss to the army of a single pound of Government property, during a long and arduous march of 500 miles over almost impassible mountain roads, and with scarcely any feed for his command. He succeeded in defeating the enemy in five dif ferent engagements; in destroying Govern ment property to the value of $5,000,000 of our money, including all factories, tan-yards, mills, founderies, and .furnaces in the She nandoah Valley, as far aB Lynchburg. The most important establishments werea branch of the Tredegaj- Iron Works, at Buchanan, working 500 hands, and the Military Insti tute at Lexington, with its capacious build ings and magazine, containing a large supply of amunition, arms, &c. All the railroadsand and the canal on the route were totally de troyed. Our total loss in the expedition will not exceed 2,000, while that of the enemy, including prisoners, must be at least 5,000. The army is in excellent spirits, and, aftei being supplied with much-needed stores, will again soon be hearl from in a localitj where least expected. A REBEL RAID INTO MARYLAND. A rebel force variously estimated at fron two to six thousand composed of cavalry am; infantry are said to have crossed the Potoma s at Falling Waters, Va., with the intention (if making a raid into Maryland and, if possible Pennsylvania. At this writing the reports are as numerous as the rebels are said to bfe, and as conflicting as possible. It isgenerally believed that a considerable force, mostly cavalry, are on their way towards Maryland. Gen. Couch in command of the Middle De partment is understood to be making ar rangements to give the raiders a suitable reception. This much is known and beyond this the remainder is mere rumor. | MISCELLANEOUS. President Lincoln’s Letter of Acceptance. The following is the letter of President Lincoln in reply to the Committee qf -the National Union Convention, appointed to inform him of his nomination : j Executive Mansion, Washington, [June 17, 1864.— H0n. Wieuasi Dennisonl and others, a Committee of the National Union Convention-Gentlemen :—Your lettir of the 14th instant, formally notifying mq that I had been nominated by the Convention you represent for the Presidency pi' the United States for four years from the!4tli of March next, has been received. ■ The Domination is gratefully accepted, and the resolutions of the Convention, call ed the platform, are heartily approved. While the resolution in.regard to the sup planting of republican governments upon the Western Continent is fully concurred in, there might be an misunderstanding were I not to say that the position of the Government in relation to the action of France in Mexico as assumed through the State Department and indorsed by the Con vention, among the measures and acts| of the Executive, will be faithfully maintained so long as the state of facts shall leave tnat position pertinent and applicable. I I am especially gratified that the soldiers and seamen were not forgotten by the Con vention, as they forever must and will be remembered by the grateful country for whose salvation they devote their lives] Thanking you for the kind and compli mentary terms in which you communicated the nomination and other proceedings of the Convention, I subscribe myself your obedient servant, Abraham Lincoln. Resignation of Secretary Chase. ] On the afternoon of the 30th of June, the whole country was surprised to hear of the resignation of the Hon. Salmon P. Chase, late Secretary of the Treasury. The real cause of this unlooked for event is not pjub licly known at this writing. There are a thousand speculations afloat, as to difficul ties which have long existed in the Cabinet, between Mr. Chase and some of the other members. It is well-known that his views of the policy ol the government have never coincided with those of the “ Blair Family," and perhaps Secretary Seward. Whether this was the cause or not, we do not know. Another statement given as a reason,is to the effect that there has been some disagree ment between the Secretary and the Presi dent as to appointments in the Treasury department. This seems to be the most generally believed. The President, it would seem, was anxiouß to have some persons ap pointed, whose knowledge of financial affairs was thought by Mr. Chase to be very defici ent. These candidates for office were recom mended by some political friends of the President and it would seem had no other i fitness for the post than their adhesion to | the Republican party. Mr. Chase refused to ' accept of them and his protest being un ! heeded, he resigned. If this version of the | trouble be true, Mr. Lincoln is much to blame. Whatever may be said of him, now that he has retired from the position, there are few who will be unwilling to accord to Mr. Chase the credit of having done his duty unselfishly and with a view to the best inter ests of the whole country. That his financial policy was, in some respects, at fault, we are ready to admit, but we claim at the same time that his errors were those of the head and not of the heart. In the judgment of posterity he will stand side by side with Alex ander Hamilton as an able and patriotic statesman. Mr. Chase was among the foremost of our eminent men to take the ground of uncom promising hostility to Slavery as the bane and the peril of the American Republic. He participated in the call and the organiza tion in 1841 of the “ Liberty party” in Ohio, having long before ably maintained as a lawyer the proposition that the Fugitive Slave act of 1793 was unconstitutional and void. He presided over the Free Soil Na tional Convention at Buffalo in 1848 which nominated Martin Van Buren for President and Charles Francis Adams for Vice-Presi dent. -Elected in 1849 a U. S. Senator, through a coalition of Democrats and Abol itionists, he opposed the Slave' Power throughout his term, especially in its Nebraska-Kansas policy, and, refusing to support Pierce and King because of their Pro-Slavery platform, he was supplanted in 1854 by George E. Pugh. He was thereupon elected and re-elected Governor of Ohio by the Republicans, and had just entered upon a new term of six years as U'. S. Senator, when he was required and most reluctantly consented to accept the Secretaryship ol the TIONS, Treasury on the accession of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency. Since then, his career is a part of our National history. Appointment of_a New Secretary of the Treasury. Immediately after the resignation of Secre tary Chase, the President sent to the Senate the name of Ex-Governor Tod, of Ohio, as his successor. The nomination was not con firmed by the Senate. On the morning of the Ist of'July, the President sent to the Senate the name of William Pitt Fessenden, U. S. Senator from Maine. The Senate went immediately into Executive session and in a lew minutes he was confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury. William Pitt Fessenden, born in Boscawen N. H., in 1806, Settled as a lawyer in Port land in 1829, was elected thence to the Legislature of Maine in 1831, and has ever since ranked among the foremost men of that State. He served repeatedly at inter vals in the more popular House, always with iparked distinction ; and in 1840 was elected ijo Congress and served through his term, fieclining a re-election. He was persuaded o run again for Congress in 1850, and re ceived a majority of the votes, but the seat was awarded to his Democratic competitor by the canvassers, and he declined to contest it. He was chosen U. S. Senator in 1854, by a union of Whigs and Free-Soil Democrats, and has ever since filled a seat in that body. He has for some years been the Chairman of its Finance Committee, which ,is its first position in rank and importance. His dis charge of the duties of that post has render ed him thoroughly familiar with every question relating to the National Finances ; and there is probably ho other man in America who could step at once into Gov. Chase’s shoes and succeed him in his ardu ous and trying labors with so little hesitation or misgiving. Mr. Fessenden is one of the ablest lawyers in America, and has no supe rior as a ready, forcible debater. Senator Fessenden formally accepted the position of Secretary of ■'the Treasury on the 4th inst., and will enter upon his duties at once. Much confidence is felt through out the country in the new Secretary. Adjournment of Congress. The First Session of the XXXVII Con gress of the United States was closed on the 4th inst., at noon. The session was 6 prolonged one, lasting within three days of seven months. Much important legislation has been accomplished,-though the first part of the session might have been more profit ably improved than it was. Among the important acts passed were the Tariff and Tax Bills; the repeal of the Commutation Clause in the Enrollment Bill* ; the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, and a bill to Equalize the Pay of Colored Soldiers. An attempt was made and carried by a majority vote in both houses, to amend the Federal Constitution, so as to forever prohibit Sla. very in the United States. It received the necessary two-third vote in the Senate, but failed to do so in the House; and conse quently was not passed. *The Enrollment Bill, as amended, provides that all persons drafted into the service of the United States shall either go in person or furnish a substitute. £Jo commutation money will be taken.* FOREIGN NEWS, SVeaTErcr city erf BctHinrore has -arrive^ with European news to the 23d of June. The portion of her intelligence most inter esting to loyal Americans will be, The Destruction of the Rebel Pirate “Alabama.” This event occurred on the 19th of June, off Cherbourg, France. The Alabama left Cherbourg on the 19th ult., for the purpose of engaging the United States steamer Kear sage, Captain John A. Winslow, and attack ed her about ten miles from Cherbourg. The Kearsage had been on the track of the Alabama for some time, and was no doubt glad of the opportunity to meet her. At 12.10 the Alabama commenced the action by firing with her starboard battery at a distance ot about a mile. The Kear sage also opened fire immediately with her starboard guns, and a sharp engagement with rapid firing from both ships was kept up, both shot and shell being discharged. In manoeuvring, both ships made seven complete circles, at a distance from a quar ter to half a mile. At 12 o’clock the firing from the Alabama was observed to slacken, and she appeared to be making head sail and shaping her course for land, which was distant about nine miles. At 12.30 the Con federate ship was in a disabled and sinking condition. The encounter was witnessed by the English steam yacht Deerhound. When the Alabama was in a sinking -con dition the Deerhound made toward her and in passing the Kearsage, was requested to assist in saving the crew of the Alabama. When the Deerhound was still at a distance of two hundred yards, the Alabama sunk, and the Deerhound then launched her boats and, with the assistance of those from the sinking vessel, succeeded in saving about forty men, including Captain Semmes and thirteen officers. Nine of the Alabama’s crew were killed and twenty wounded. The Kearsage captured sixty-eight of her officers and crew. No person was killed on the Kearsage, and only three of her seamen are said to be wounded. The vessel herself received but little injury. Semmes had gone to England where he was tendered a public dinner. A DAY OF HUMILIATION AND PRAYER PROPOSED. On motion of Mr. Harlan) the following joint resolution was adopted by the Senate: Be it resolved by the Senate and the House of ..Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, Thaf the President of the United States be requested to appoint a day for humiliation and prayer by the people of the United States. That he request his constitutional advisers, at the head of the Executive Department, to unite with him as the Chief Magistrate of the nation, at the city of Washington; and the members of Congress and all magistrates, all civil, mili tary, and naval officers, all soldiers, sailors, and marines, with all loyal and law-abiding people, to convene at their usual places of worship, or wherever they may be, to confess and to repent of their manifold sins, to im plore the compassion and forgiveness of the •Almighty, that,i if consistent with His will, tjie existing rebellion may be speedily sup pressed, and the supremacy of the Constitu tion and laws of\the United States may be established throughout all the States; to implore Him, as \£e Supreme Ruler of the world, not to desfcoy us as a people, nor suf fer us to be destroyed by the hostility and connivance of nations, or by the obstin ate adhesion to ourown counsels, which may be in conflict with His eternal purposes; to implore Him to enlighten the mind of the nation to know and\do His will, humbly be lieving that it is in accordance with His will that our place Bhbuld be maintained as a united people among, the iarnily of nations ; to implore Him to grant to our armed de fenders and tbe masses of the people that courage, power of resistance and endurance necessary to secure that result; to implore Him in His infinite goodness, to soften the hearts, enlighten the minds, and quicken the consciences of those in rebellion, that they may lay down their arms, and speedily return to their allegiance to the United States, that they may not be utterly destroyed; that the effusion of blood may be stayed, and that unity and fraternity may be restored and peace established throughout all our borders.
