rf His THE WAR. There have been very few army movements of importance during the past week. The daily papers have been filled with detailed accounts of the assault, mentioned in our last, upon Petersburg. The rebels have invaded Maryland again and on this occasion they are said to be in great force. Gen. Sherman is still pushing liis way on to Atlanta suepess fully. Admiral Farragut has been making the rebels conscious of his presence in the Southwest. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The late repulse- No movement that we have any knowledge of has been made since the assault of July 30. Details of that affair have been extensively spread before 'the country during the last week, and the substance of all the accounts is that what might and should have been a splendid victory for our arms, was, through the negligence or incompetency of some commander or commanders, turned into a bloody repulse and defeat. It is said that a court of inquiry is to be ap pointed to ascertain who is to blame. Wehope the government will see that this is done; for, of all the blunders we have had since the war begun, this one seems to be the greatest. Let the guilty party or parties be brought to light. They should receive a greater punish ment than dismissal of the service. Five thousand, at least, of our army was uselessly sacrificed on this occasion, besides the failure to take Petersburg, which was undoubtedly within our grasp. , The preliminary stragetic movement and dispositions could scarcely have been more happily conceived, or more auspiciously ex ecuted than they were. The feint on the right at Deep Bottom had diverted the at tention of the enemy from the point to he attacked, -and a portion of their force, which had been for-several days held in reserve op posite that point, had been lured away to de fend Richmond from an imaginary danger on the other aide of the James Fiver. The troops engaged in that demonstration had returned, and, if needed to aid in the attack, were within reach. The mine was a more complete sucoess than even the most san guine could have anticipated; and the ex tent of the -breach made by its explosion, as well as the moral effect produced thereby upon the enemy, surprised the projector him self. It is declared by those who had a good opportunity of knowing, that the rebel troops in the intrenchments near the explosion ran .in the utmost consternation, leaving a prac tical breach in their line of a quarter of a mile in length; that nearly an hour elapsed before.a single piece of artillery was brought to hear on ua, the gunnei-s having left their forts in fear, lest they too should be under mined, and that, with the exception of a few scattering shots from the rifle-pits some dis tance to the right of the mine, there was no musketry for about half an hour. It was but a bound from our rifle-pits to the summit of this hill we were-to take, whence we could look down on Petersburg and command the enemy’s entire position south of the Appo mattox. Had the bound been taken at the opportune moment, and a body of troops sufficient to maintain the position hurled up on it whilft ti»* -s-tutpor, Sur-~ ‘ prise-sad apprehension still held the*enemy enchained, our victory might have been im mediate, complete, and to us comparatively bloodless, while its result would have Been such as rarely fall to the lot of a victorious army. Never were minutes more precious than the first thirty, or forty or fifty after the springing of the mine. We lost the advan tages of the surprise, the enemy gathered from the right and left, and nothing could be .done then, save by hard fighting. After this there were gallant charges, desperate hand to hand encounters, and noble exhibi tions of personal heroism. But even had it been practicable to accomplish our purpose in the face of an enemy rally on the alert, our efforts were too partial. Too many of our men had been tempted into the enemy’s Brat entrenchments. The immense pit left by the explosion was filled with them, and so were.the pits and covered ways in front. The ’ number who did actually go up to their work like heroes was too Bmall to effect the desired object, yet their gallantry is not the less wortby-of our admiration. Why we Failed. The fallowing statement made by Samuel *Wllkensen, Esq., the oldest and ablest corres pondent of the N. Y, Tribune, will throw some light on the cause of failure: The commander of the corps charged with duty and entrusted with the coveted ,3ioiior of making the assault, did not accom the troops that led it; not a commander iof a division of the corps accompanied the i troops; and the work which their absence t hus discredited and impaired was left en , ti Wjjy to brigade commanders ; the charge m ade by the leading force was not supported, fot • three.quarters of an hour ; when the support cai tie up to and entered into the crater pro due ®d by the explosion of the mine, it found it fu ’ll of the advance, in a necessarily dis order red state; the delay in supporting the leadii »g charge gave the rebels time to recover from i the confusion and terror caused by the explos ion, to gather opposite the breach all their a vailable force, to drive back into the crater t he force that had advanced beyond it, to train upon the fatal pit all their artillery, to rain into it a fire of musketry, grape and Cannister, that tore remorselessly, and without thepossibility of error of aim, the solid mass of wriggling, heaving, twisting, crawling, help less soldiers, black and white, that, inextri cably intermingled, and defied all attempts to tacticaly extricate them. The survivors crawled out of the terrible hole one by one. The Rebels swooped upon the pit before it could be emptied. lam assured we left in it, of .dead and wounded and captured, and have undo? treatment this side of it of wounded, 'Ji/QOQ jmen. A False Charge. I \ has ibcen charged by some that the fail ing vaa .owing to the conduct of the colored troops,'« ttie first account sent by the corresp ondeut of the Associated Press was calculate “ surow the entire blame on that nart of th ' e W® o /-, Recent accounts by im partial witi.’***® 8 stow that the colored troops were in no s..™ 8 ? blame. They did not compose the fi. faulting, but the support- Jug column, anc * were not ordered for ward until white in greater numbers had .made a despi'***® effort to carry the Rebel works, and he'd foiled. Then the col ored troops were sen't in; moved over the broken ground, and up the slope, and within a short distance of the p.'wapet, in order, and with steady courage; but .finally broke and retreated under the same fiiw which just be* fore had sent a whole division of white regi ments to the right about. If there be any disgrace in that, it does not belong exclusive ly, nor mainly, to the negroes. A second at tack is far more perilous and unlike'ly to suc ceed than the first; the enemy having been encouraged fay the failure of the first, and had time to concentrate his forces. And in this case there seems to have been a fatal de -1 i,y in ordering both the first and second as saui t. THE REBEL INVASION. There has been another raid- or invasion of Maryland, but the accounts have been so vague and contradictory, that it is almost impossible to reach anything like a true statement of facts. Hagerstown was again occupied by the enemy, but in what force we do not know. There has been a change in commanders in the department of West Virginia. Gen. Hunter has been relieved and Gen. Sheridan, well known as a dashing cavalry officer, appointed to the command temporarily. It is now known that the rebels are all out of Maryland, and are retreating down the Shenandoah valley. The following offi cial war Gazette would seem to indicate that Averill had come up with them : Washington, August B. —To Major-Gene ral Dix, New York:—Major-General Sheri dian has been assigned temporarily to the command of the forces in the Middle Mili tary Division, consisting of the Departments of Washington, the Middle Department, and the Department of the Susquehanna and Northwest Virginia. He transmits the following: Head-quarters Middle-Department, Har per’s Ferry, Aug. 8, 4.10. —T0 Major-Gene ral H. W. Halleck, Chief of Staff.—Brigadier General Kelley reports that a scout has just arrived at New Creek, and reports that Gen. Averill overtook the enemy near Moorfields yesterday, and attacked him, capturing all his artillery and five hundred prisoners. Nothing official has been received from General Averill, however. P. H. Sheridan, Major-General Commanding. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. GEN. SHERMAN’S ARMY. Sherman continues to press hard upon the rebels at Atlanta, anchalthougk he has not yet captured the city, he has done what is perhaps, better—destroyed a large portion of Hood’s arifly. In the battles before Atlanta previous to the one of the 28th of July, Hood had lost about thirty-nine thousand men, while the Union loss was less than six thou sand. In the battle of the 28th nit., the rebels are said to have lost ten thousand men. From these figures it will be seen that had Hood not been heavily reinforced, he would have now no effective force to op pose Sherman. We are now in possession of the details of the battle of the 28th, which like the others before Atlanta was characterized by great desperation on the part of the rebels. The Rattle of the 28th ult. Gen. Howard put Gen. Dodge’s corps, the 16th, in position on the night of the 27th, and anticipating an early attack on the following day, he placed the remaining two corps in position—Blair, the 17th« Corps, next to Dodge, and the 15th (Logan) on the right of the line—early the following morning, Lo gan met the brunt of the fight. Howard, naturally expecting an early attack got the troops in Position, ami inspßrtnrl IV.nv>. mi soon as possible. He had intended that the prolongation of the line should ultimately reach the railroad, the troops intrenching as their line was extended. The rebel artillery for some time had been pouring in cannister and shell upon our line at short range. We had no guns in position, and Logan was still working to perfect his position. Gen. How ard ordered this artillery to be taken or silenced, and two regiments were sent for ward for that purpose. They approached so near as to silence the guns. Two of our own guns were then put in position. Report was brought that the enemy was massing on the right, and in order to ascertain his intention Gen. Howard reconnoitered in person. Watching the rebel movement across an open field, he became satisfied it was not his pur- I pose then to turn the flank. Five minutes 1 later the attack commenced in full force. So furious was the rebel onslaught, and so impetuous his charge, the guns already re ferred to had to be withdrawn to save them. Meantime, all the artillery at his disposal— sixteen batteries, between forty and fifty guns —Gen. Howard posted so as to sweep the rebel line should he succeed in turning the right flank, which now seemed to be the enemy’s object. To prolong the right of the line, troops were taken successively from the 16th and 17th Corps. Each Regiment, as it went into position, threw up rail defenses. So successfully was this accomplished, that the last regiment put in was not attacked at all. The assault commenced at 101 o'clock A. M., in masses, and they repeated the at tack, continuing without cessation until o clock P. M. Each time the rebel wave came on with redoubled strength and fury, determined to break through our line, but each time being repulsed with frightful slaughter. Our men remained firmly in their places, and received the rebel shock as the rock meets and rolls back the ocean wave. Their front was literally covered with rebel dead and wounded, One Rebel color-bearef, charging at the head of his regiment, dashed up to the rifle pits and ran the spear head of his flagstaff through one of our men, killing him on the spot. The nextinstant he fell at the foot of the works, pierced by a Union bullet. One soldier was brought back insen sible from the effect of a blow' with the butt of a musket. There was hand to hand fight ing, and the most persistent and determined efforts to break our lines and dislodge us. No troops ever fought with greater despera tion, but it was all in vain. At one time af fairs began to look serious. Word came that I our men were becoming exhausted; that then 1 guns were getting useless from constant firing, with other embarrassing reports. But their pride was appealed to ; the memory of their gallanfand fallen General was invoked ; they were urged to sustain the well-earned prestige of the Army of the Tennessee. Gen. Howard had a brigade of the 14th Corps brought forward,and Gen. Sherman, unknown to Howard, had also a division of the 20th Corps at hand to act in an emergency. The rebels tried first one part, then another of our line, but each time with the same result. They did not gain a foot of ground, nor a single advantage during the whole fight, and finally withdrew in despair. A strong skirmish line was then thrown forward by Gen. Howard to get possession of the wounded, which caused a temporary renewal of the fight. Their dead and wounded remained in our hands. The ene my used his artillery freely during the whole progress of the battle, but luckily for us, after the first few rouuds, their shot and shell mostly went over our men’s heads, doing them no harm. Our loss is estimated at not over two thousand in killed, wounded, and missing. The enemy's loss, judging from the number of dead and wounded left on the field and our prisoners, could not be less than eight to ten thousand. Defeat of Gen. Stoneman. Gen. Stoneman with a body of cavalry started from the main body of Sherman’s PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1864. army, about two weeks ago for the purpose of making an attack on Macon, Georgia, and if possible capturing it. lie succeeded very well in the first part of his expedition, tear ing up the Macon railroad and doing con siderable damage to the enemy. But the rebels afterwards succeeded in surrounding his force, killing and capturing nearly the whole command, including Gen. Stoneman himself. The New Commander of the Army of the Tennessee. Our readers, who remember General Howard’s noble speech at the Anniversary of the Christian Commission, will be glad to know that he has been promoted to the command of the Army of the Tennessee, in place of the lamented McPherson. General Howard assumed command of the Army of the Tennessee in circumstances well fitted to test his capacity. As the suc cessor of McPherson, he had to undergo a close scrutiny from men and officers who loved and admired that lamented General. In this battle of the 28th, General Howard seems to have amply justified his appoint ment, and to have sustained his previous reputation as a corps commander. His services on the Peninsula, and especially at the battle of Gettysburg, for which he was thanked by Congress, made his name fami liar to the people, while in. the army he has been known as a soldier of [great actual abil ity and great promise—clear headed, excel lent eye for ground, prompt, good tactical knowledge, quick to handle troops. Itris much to add that he is a Christian patriot, devoted wholly to the cause and profoundly impressed with faith in its success. THE WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST. Intelligence from New Orleans is to the effect that Admiral Farragut has repulsed the rebels off Mobile, and is bombarding the upper defenses. The Admiral has now six iron clads off Mobile, and ! two more left New Orleans on the 29th ult. This will make eight in all. The bombardment has been continued for three days,(and it is ex pected that the city will surrender before the close of next week. On , July 30, infor mation was received at the Bead-quarters' Department of the Gulf, on Tuesday, ttaft Admiral Farragut had passed Ebrts Morgan and Gaines, which had been supposed to command the entrance to Mobile Bay. He is, therefore, if the information is correct, with a part of his fleet, between the forts and the city, and the formtr must speedily surrender. General Granger will command the land forces, which will occupy Mobile and garrison the forts, if perfect success crowns the movements of Admiral Farragut. The following official dispatch from the War Department coming from rebel sources indicates the success of Farragut’s move ment : . . To Major General Dix, New York:— Washington, Aug. 8, 9 P.
