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<l Corps by an over
whelming assault, oi ’ ®hse flanking them on
the left with such for, «e as might involve the
capture of the greater part of the Corps.
On Thursday mhisni. 4 w GeneralHibbqns’
division was to have iiu ?7ed southward from
Reams’ station, to oonti hue the destruction
of the road still farther tc 'wards Stony Creek,
but Colonel Spear's brig*. Kautz's Cav
airy, which was picketing ln that direction,
being attacked by the. ene 7By> 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

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.

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:

that no effort shall be spared to defeat tl

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

New York. Dr. Hammond id a, card,

false swearing and malignant abuse off

he did not establish these assertions'!)/

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

proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility. The
