■i' (I THE WAR. AEMY OF THE POTOMAC, Id inking possession of the Weldon rail road, Gen. Grant has evidently touehed a vital spot in the approaches to the rebel capital, A single fact will serve to illustrate this. When the news reached Bichmond that Gen. Warren had captured the railroad, flour advanced one hundred dollars a barrel. This item of news shows how important this road was to the enemy. But we need not goto Bichmond to learn this. During the last week the desperate efforts of the rebel army to drive our troops from their position on the railroad are sufficient to show how im portant it is to them. Up to this tirpe these efforts have all ended in failures. •Grant evidently understands the importance of the position, and accordingly the railroad for some considerable distance has been completely destroyed, and our army is en entrenched on the ground where the rail road was. Gen. Warren, according to a despatch received on the 23d, had advanced a mile further on the railroad toward Pe tersburg. He, found the rebels busily en trenching, as if apprehensive of further encroachments on their line. We give a Summary of Operations. during the week. In our laßt we recorded the heavy battle of Friday the 20th ult., in which our side lost considerably {mostly in prisoners) and barely held our original lines at the close. Saturday the 21st ult. passed quietly, the heavy rains interfering with the movements on both sides. On Sunday the 22d ult., a heavy column of rebels made a dash upon the Fifth Dorps, posted on the left of the railroad on the battle ground of Friday. The enemy rushed up oh what they supposed to -be our flank, but found themselves in a trap with batteries andmus- kets pouring in an enfilading fire of the . hottest description. They quickly made i. signs of surrender, and heady 400 of them F«ame in—as many more taking advantage •of the cessation of firing to run the other fcway. The men were mostly from South Carolina and Missiissippi. One Colonel, 3 .Lieutenant Colonels, and 37 Captainß and 1 lieutenants were among the prisoners. Gen. R r agood, (Rebel) is supposed to have been ki. Ued, his body lying between the lines wh ® re he fell from his horse. On our side (Gen <• Cutler was slightly wounded and Col. Duo hesne killed; our total loss was about 1501 tilled and wounded and 100 prisoners. The i losses in the Fifth Corps in the battles Frida. 7 end Saturday are computed at about five th ousand. The rebels disappeared from our fro. at early on Monday the 23d ult., evi dently displeased wiLh the result of Sun day's fi’i (htiug. On Wednesday, the 25th nit., our . line was extended-on the left about six or sev on miles, which fixed our hold on the Woldt railroad to a place known as Seams’s st: \tion. By this movement it was discovered i that that portion of theenemy’s force which had been on our front,-had fal len back to t heir works, within two miles of Petersburg, O n Tuesday the 26th ult., the rebels again as ’turned the offensive. During Wednesday ni. 'fiht large bodies of rebel troops were bein. on our extreme left, and besides othe Vs. A. P. Hill’s entire corpß were known to .he there. It was evident that movements > Vere B? in 6 °. n , b y the ene any having for the.. V object either the de •traction of the Se* Von and this cir cumstance intimating the . probability that our operations„on the railro 'ad might meet with interruption, the orde* ' to move out was countermanded. Subs equently the opinion that the only force th P enemy had there was cavalry -appears tc' have been formed, and General Gibson w. as again or dered to move down the road,. which he commenced to at about half-past nine A. M. Colonel Smith’s brigade having th e advance and a regiment of Gregg's Cavalry preced ing the division.; Starting along; a road running to the left or east of the railroad, they turned' to the right and orossed the lattar about half a mile below Ream’s and had not proceeded half a mile further before the cavalry was checked by meeting a line of rebel skirmish ers. Col. Smith then deployed as skirmish ers the First Delaware regiment, supported by the Twelfth New Jersey Regiment in year, and the Tenth New York .on the right flank. Advancing this skirmish line para llel with that on the right of the railroad, its left flank resting near the sam£v-Colonel Smyth pushed back the enemy’s skirmish ers until, on arriving in sight of a yarrow swampy range extending from the railroad obliquely to the; right, and with its acute angle on the side next to us, he found tbeis 1 troops in line'of battle beyond it and pro tected by strong breastworks. The enemy immediately charged upon our skirmishers, and drove them back to our main body. The result of this battle, which considering; the importance of the position attached, and the desperate efforts of the enemy, was one of the fiercest struggles of the war, we rive in the official despatches of Generals Grant, Heade and Hancock. Under date of August 25th, Gen. Hancock WritC«: The attack about 5 30' P. M„ was probably intended to be simultaneous by Wilcox on my centre and Heath on my left. The enq my formed In .the woods, placed their ar tillery in position and opened a heavy can nonade, lastinghboutfifteen minutes. They assaulted Miles’ force. He resisted tenacious ly but the enemy broke his lines. Some of Gibbon’s troops were hurried over to repair the damage, and the enemy gained a slight foothold. They %on attempted our extreme left, driving Gibbon’s Division from the line. His men had been much wearied rushing over to General Mileß and back during the repeated assaults. ; General Gibbons succeeds ed in forming a strong line, and the enemy who pressing on with great enthusiasm, were severely Ghecked by tne dismounted cavalry under General Gregg, whom he handled General Miles regained most of his intrenohmenis, distinguishing him self. All he’ had to work with were such small parties as could be rallied and found by staffoffioers. The fighting was continued till dark, this enemy being held by artillery, dismounted oavalry and skirmishers. At dark we withdrew for reasons stated. The enemy made no advance up to a late hour last Bight, holding as far as could he seen, some of our captured guns with their skirm ish line. They must have suffered heavily. My own loss, induing oavalry, will not per haps exceed twelve or fifteen hnndred, I though this is surmise, as the command is not vet organized. This is acknowledged to have been one of the most determined and desperates fights of the war, resembling Spottsylrania in character, though the num ber engaged gives it less importance. A few more good troops would have given us a victory of considerable importance. I for ward, this forenoon, prisoners from the said Wilcox and Heath, and Major Angel, of my staff, saw and conversed with two prisoners of Mahon's Division last night. I do not find them this morning. They said Mahon's Division, with the exception of one brigade, was there. At half-past two in the afternoon of the 26th ult,, Gen. Meade sent the following des patch to Gen. Grant, dated on the battle field: A safeguard that was left on the battle-field, remaind there till after daylight this A. M. At that time the enemy had all disappeared, leaving their dead on the field unburied. This shows how severely they were punished, and, doubtless, hearing of the arrival of reinforcements, they feared thv results, to-day if they remained. In a second despatch to Gen, Grant dated at 1 o’clock A, M., of the 17th ult., General Meade says: Since sending my last despatch I have con versed with the safeguard referred to. He did not leave the field till after sunrise. At that time nearly all the enemy had left, moving towards Petersburg. He says they abandoned not only their dead, hut their wounded also. He conversed with an offi cer who said their losses were greater than ever before during the war. The safeguard says he was over the field, and it was covered with the enemy’s dead and wounded. He has seen a great many battle-fields, but never saw such a sight. There were very few of our dead, nearly all being of the enemy. All our wounde 1 are brought off, but our dead are unburied, 1 have instructed Greigg to make an effort to send a party to the field and bury our dead. Our forces hold the Weldon Eoad, and in a despatch, dated at 3 P. M. of the 26th ult., General Grant says that.“the loss of this road seems to be a blow to the enemy which he cannot stand. I think Ido not overstate the loss of the enemy in the last two weeks’ battles at ten thousand killed and wounded. We have lost heavily, but our loss has been mostly in captured, when the enemy gained temporary advantages. The number of rebel prisoners taken on our side is not yet reported. General Grant makes the following report of an unsuccessful assault by the enemy on General Butler’s picket line. The picket guard soon rallied however, and drove the enemy back and re-established their line. The result was one killed, sixteen wOunded and fourteen missing on our side. Two commanding officers and fifty-nine enlisted men were captured from the enemy. What their casualties in killed and wounded were we do not know.”—The failure of the rebels to drive our troops from their position on the railroadj in this last battle, may be looked upon as a most important victory. If Grant can continue to hold this railroad, it will cripple the rebels more than anything else. The latest from the Army of the Poto mac represent all quiet along the lines, with the usual lull which generally succeeds a severe engagement, such as the fierce but unsuccessful assault on Hancock's Corps on Thursday. The rebel papers ’are: rather re ticent respecting this memorable fight, but admit the Itjss of five Generals, four killed and one wounded. Our loss is believed to be 2000 meh and eight guns ; rebel loss 5000. ■ MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION, General Sheridan, in command of our forces in the Shenandoah Valley has been acting with great caution and deliberation, and his movements show that he is keeping a wary watch over those of the enemy. He has shown all along an aversion to marching up the Valley till he knows precisely what he may expect to' encounter, or what force he may leave behind him. How large the rebel force is, is still, probably, a matter of conjecture. Early is supposed to have had with him, originally about 17,000 men. There is now good reason for believing that he has been positively reinforced by at least 12,000. It is also thought that other rein forcements have been sent him from Rich mond, but how many is not certain. Gene ral Sheridan’s caution is perhaps owing to hiß incomplete knowledge of the strength of the enemy. That he is quite able to with stand it whatever it may be seems clear from the result of the fight near Charles town on the 21st ult. On that occasion, but one Corps was seriously engaged, and and the loss m that was not heavy. Wheth er the rebels really mean an advance, or whether they mean to hold the Valley re mains yet to be seen. We give a Summary of Operations In this department, during the last week. With reference to the cavalry fight at Front Royal on the 14th, we have some additional facts. General Torbert’s Second brigade did superbly. It captured one hundred and forty horses. Twelve officers were also taken. The other Brigade did magnificently, capturing over fifty prisoners and repuising a heavy force of infantry, killing and wounding a large number. Two battle-flags were captured.' The Reserve Brigade was not engaged. The enemy tried to turn our left by wading the river up to their waists, but they found Us ready for them, and we eorraled them, shoot ing them down until they cried for mercy. Over' thirty of their dead, and a large number of their wounded, lie in one spot. Our casu alties for the amount of 'fighting done—sixty ■ Fill cover the entire loss. A Rebel Colonel killed. Two field officers wore captured. There was a brisk engage ment on Sunday, the 32d lilt,, near. Charles town, begun by the rebels in an attempt to pierce our front near Summit Point. For a time the rebels had the best of it; our skir mishers were driy?n and th§ First Division of Tolbert’s Cavalry suffered severely — intOEh’s brigade > losing 800 men. At the sail)Vtme the enemy attacked both our right and left, and a heavy engagement was begun. Our Sixth Corps bore the heaviest part of the shock, the second division loosing about 70 killed and missing and SOO wounded. Our right drove the enemy over a mile, and then fell back to their old line, holding it until 10 o’clock, when the entire army retired towards Hamilton.; The result appears to have been comparatively unimportant. A considerable force of the enemy’s forces broke camp at Charlestown early Thursday morning the 25th ult., and moved in the di rection of Leetown. Our cavalry struck their line of skirmishers about a mile beyond Kear , eyßville.and, after a'brilliant charge, succeeded in capturing quite a number of prisoners. The following despatch, dated on the 27th ult, from Gen. Sheridan to the War Depart ment, would seem to indicate Early’s retro gade movement toward Richmond. Sheridan says: The enemy left my front last night, falling back to Smithfield or Middleburg. We captured 100 prisoners yesterday, and in flicted a loss of 150 killed and wounded. There have been a few feints to cross the river by cavalry at Williamsport, but there was no strength shown. The indications to-day are that the rebels are driven out of the Valley Other reports state that the enemy is leaving the Shenandoah Valley. The success of our operations before Rich mond has compelled Lee to withdraw Early’s j PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1864. forces from the Shenandoah Valley. It is very probable that Early will make every ef fort to reach Richmond at the earliest possible hour. Should he, however, attempt to cross the river, he will most probably be held in check by Union troops, understood te be guarding the fords in strong force. Wo have news through rebel sources of the surrender of the only remaining stronghold of the rebels in Mobile Bay. "We received the first intelligence of Fnrragut’s victory from the rebels before, and as it proved more than true, we have no reason to doubt the present important news. It capitulated after a bom bardment of five days. The work was deli vered over to Admiral Farragut and General Granger on Tuesday the 23d ult., with twelve hundred prisoners, including General Page and fifty pieces of artillery, stores, djc. Our fleet will soon pass up to the city, as the har bor obstructions are being removed, aftjd. it is expected that the city will soon fall into our hands. The control of the bay, secured by the surrender of Fort Morgan releases a dumber of vessels belonging to the blockade squadron. They will be sent to reinforce the sqa iron at Wilmington, and assist in making th i block ade at that point more stringent. GFNERAL SHERMAN’S AR3[Y. We have had little of definite ne\ i Sherman this week. He continues s< his position. His army is well Buppli< food and ammunition. The explosions shells in the streets of Atlanta had c large fire, which destroyed a portion of fcl Sherman’s line of communication is uni] The only move of importance has beer cessful raid by Gen. Kilpatrick. A dii savs: “ Gen. Kilpatrick destroyed the Ifacoi road in several places, tearing up ab( miles of it. He also captured and burned.) of supplies belonging to the rebels ere w Atlanta. On his return he met the rel strong force, and totally defeated then turing four stands of colors, six canno 200 prisoners. Afterwards he met a force of rebels, who pressed him so i that he was obliged to abandon all but the guns, and most of the prisoners. £ an entire circuit of Atlanta, and read catur witn 100 men. He indicted sever age on the rebel communications. Bumor has it that Gen. Sherman vancing upon Atlanta from the Sout has cut the West Point Bailro&d lead! Alabama. Our advanced trenches are two miles sf Atlanta. The convention for the nomination of mocratic candidates for the offices of Preside and Vice President is now holding its. genii in Chicago. We have little definite .tyfl nation as to the action of the Convehlii All reports agree, however, as to the chari ter of those in attendance. Chicago, is wicked city—according to its worst perhapß in the Union. On ordinary . casion3 the Sabbath is but little respect Accounts received represent that on last fii bath the scenes in Chicago rivalled the wofst days of the rule of infidelity in France. I>- litical speeohes were made in front of the 1 3- tels, bands of music marched: through t e streets, followed by great crowds of Sabbath breakers and blasphemers of God’s holy n&Je. This is a faint picture of the character of ‘[hß men who propose setting up candidates for 1 lie highest offices in the gift of the nation. Wko can doubt but their candidates will ha er like themselves ? To their crime of disloy alty, they have added the grossest immoraliWl and outraged the Christian sentiment of jthf country. Up to this time, no nomination hsl been reached, but the general belief seems o be that Gen. McClellan will be the successf il nominee for President. Mr. Bigler, of Pen - sylvania is temporary Chairman of the Oo - vention. This Convention has attracted to Chlcaj the dUloyal and disaffected from all parts the Horthern States, and the speeches, so: fa indicate what the loyal people of the countr may expect if these men shall succeed in gel ting into power. While their mouths ai filled with anathemas against the present at ministration, and against the war, they hat not a word of censure or rebuke for the traito who began the war and are responsible for i continuance. Ret the loyal people take war: ing by the proceedings of this body of mor .corruption and treason, and lot tbemdetermii that no effort shall be spared to defeat tl machinations of traitors at home, and repuli the more manly and deadly assaults of traito: in the field. CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT A The sentence of the court-martial i the case of Surgeon-General Hammom for cheating and defrauding the Goverr ment, which was that he be dismisse the service and be forever disqualify from holding any office of trust or pre fit, impressed a great many with th idea that this whs the end of the case and that the party guilty of these frauds though disgraced, was henceforth; tJ enjoy unmolested the fruits of them! This is, however, a mistake—the courM martial determined the fact of the crime! having been committed, and now the] Government intends to prosecute for a * recovery of the amount of frauds perpe trated. A dispatch from Washington to the New York Tribune says the Soli citor of the War Department has been instructed to cause prosecution to be commenced against Dr. d ‘William ! jfc* Hammond, late Surgeon-General 17. S. A., Messrs. Wyeth & Brother, of Phila delphia, I? illiaiß A. Stephens, of New York. Dr. Hammond id a, card, calls himself the “ victim of false swearing and malignant abuse off official power." It is unfortunate tWI he did not establish these assertions'!)/ fore the military court. The investigs tion lasted four months, therefore, suf cient time was allowed to prove tli facts. It was as the President say one of the “ most patient and thorou] that has ever occurred in our militai ■ history, and the accused had throng out the assistance of eminent and ab counsel in conducting his defence The features Of this transaction presei; it as a crime of more than ordinary tu pitude. Shoddyites have cheated tl| Government in shoes, in clothes and a food, but to defraud the Government i its medical supplies, thereby compromis ing the lives of tho sick and wound soldiers in all our hospitals, is a degre of callousness, selfishness and cruelti which should be looked for any when but in the quarter which had the ini rests and health of these soldiers cod mitted to its charge. —Philadelphia iet ger.
