ARMY OF THE POTOMAC While the movement which we announc ed if week as being in progress in this army has not yet resulted in the consumma tion of the popular idea of its mission—the capture of Richmond—it has accomplished what vas, perhaps, as important a work in the eyes of its great leader. Gen. Grant has been accused of a reckless carelessness of the lives of his men ; but any candid man who studies carefully his late movement on the 29th and 30th of September, will be ready to confess that this is a gross slander. Previous to the movement, the distance from where our army lay on the North side of theiames to Richmond, by the nearest route, was about thirteen miles. Over this entire distance the rebels had erected a line of works many of them of a very formidable character, and it was clearly the intention of Gen. Lee to make Grant fight his way through and over these works to the rebel capital. In this case, however, as in many : - liitore which we could enumerate during this campaign, the " mudsill" of an Illinois tan ner, has proved too much of a match for the aristocratic and chivalrous Virginian. Geri. Grant knew all abont,tAlis line of fortifies_ Lions, and he had no id - ea ,of rushing madly against them, while 'their remained any other way of accomplishing his 'object. Watching, waiting.and manoeuvring for his opportunity, he moved two of his corps in the very nick of time, and at one charge, overcame six of the thirteen miles, giving Lee no time to mass his forces behind the line of defence thus wrested from his pos session. He has hence - accomplished in six or eight hours of one day, what Lee intended should delay him for as many weeks, if not months. The 'samba thinilias been done on the Petersburg end of the line. The move ment in progress now, the details of 'which the Secretary of War assures us are favora ble, though not yet proper for publication, is for the possession of what is known as the South side or Lynchburg-Railroad. To prevent the accomplishment of that object, Leo had a series of strong works thrown up, every one of which must have been contest ed to the bitter end, foicing Grant to fight his way by slow approaches or by desperate assaults over them all. By his skillful movement Gen. Grant iito : f!,r deceived Lee that he was in doubt as to the real ; points of the attacks of the 29th and 30th September, and the rebel commander was obliged to move his troops toward the centre of his .', line, so that they could be pushed to either end, as the exigency might demand. But when the attack of the Union army fell upon both, be was more than ever confound ed, and each flank being weak, he lost val_ uabie ground on both, and thereby sustained a heavy defeat. Let it be remembered that Gen. Grant accomplished all this with the loss of comparatively few men. No severe fighting has occurred in this army since Sep tember 30th. The ground then gained by our troops has been firmly held, and as we have already; intimated a movement is now on foot looking to the possession of the most important line of communication the rebels have. Attack on Ayres' Division On the morning of the Ist inst., the enemy advanced up the Squirrel Hill Road, and made a furious attack on Gen. Ayres' Divi sion, of the sth corps, which was holding the right of the new extension °tour line; a considerable interval existing between the two. The attacking column' consisted 'of Heath's Division, Hill's Corps, and a brigade of (said to be) dismounted cavalry. With this force they advanced resolutely forward, and attacked Gen. Ayres'in his intrench ments. The latter, however, was fully pre pared for them, and gave them such a re ception as instantly checked their advance, and 'compelled them to retreat with the ut most_ precipitation. The punishment they received was very severe; as is attested by ' the large numbers of their dead which still lie in the woods in front of our works. Our picket line was thrown forward as the enemy fled, and followed them Closely to within sight of their own. works. This attack was a desperate endeavor to regain a portion of the line of wOrks taken from them the day before, including the fort furthest on the right. Its failure seethed to satisfy theme of the impracticability of the enterprise, for the attempt has not since been renewed. It appears to be the fortune of Gene,ttsyres' - Division to encounter that of Gen: lieath'i, the two having been pitted against each E. *other on the 18th and 19th of Ansust in the battles for the possession of - the 'Weldon Railroad, as well as on several former occa sions. It is worthy of remark in this con nection that these two Generals were class mates at West Point. Narrow Escape of General Meade. On the morning'of the 2cl, Gen. Meade narrowly escaped a serious wound. He, with his Staff acid Generals Griffin and Bart lett, of the Fifth Corps, with the r respec tive staffs were collected , near the Boswell House on Gen. Griffin's line, A rebel bat tery,4which-was shelling 'one of ours, not far distant from where this group of horsemen were standing, threw an accidental shot in among them. It grazed the .boot of Gen. Meade, leivingits mark therefore, clipped off a look of hair from the tail of,,Gett. Hum phreys' horse, passed harmlessly:` between Generals Griffin and Bartlett, and fell to the ground without injuring anynne. : ARXY OF THE, ,TAXES. The rebels have been trying I to, stir up ' • Gen. Butler, and in so doing they have been vial much worsted. To be deafeated by the "beast" as they term Gen. Butler, must be ,more galling to the rebels than to be defeat ed by any Other of the Union Generals. This is so, not only ; Butler is perso nally obnoxious to them, but because a large portion of his army is composed of negro troops, many of whom have the sat- . - isfaction very frequently of bringing in their 10id Masters as captives. Gen. Butler's army ,occupies the position lately taken from the . enemy at Chapin's Farm, which isour near , estapproach toward Richmond, on the . , South side, being . withia abeat'five miles of heart of the,rebel Capital. • Assault Upon General Butler's Lines Under date of October 7th, Gen. Butler telegraphs Lieut-General Grant as follows: At G. 30 A. M., the enemy having moved Field's and Hoke's Divisions from the left at Chapin's Farm around to our right at Darbytown road, attacked with spirit Gene ral Kautz's cavalry in their intrenchments and drove him back with small loss of men but with the loss of his artillery. The ene my suffered very considerable loss in his at tack. The enemy then swept down the in trenchments towards Birney, who, having thrown back his right, waited their assault and repulsed it with heavy loss on the part of the enemy. The enemy in the meantime advanced toward New° Market, but were met by a force at the signal tower at 3 P. M. I took the offensive, sending Birney with two divisions up the Darbytown road. The enemy has retreated as he advanced, and l3irney has reached and occupied the in trenchments which the enemy took from Kautz and were fortifyirig for themselves. Our loss has been small, not one-eighth of the enemy's. We have about one hundred prisoners. In a second dispatch, dated'on the evening of the same day, Gen. tutler says : General Birney has regained' General Kautz's old position, and holds the enemy in the inner line of intrenchments around'Richmond, ex tending from the Darbytown road to connect with Weitzel on the left near Fort Harrison. There has been no movement at Petersburg to-day. We have much the best of this days. work. A thousand at least of the • enemy killed and wounded,, a laundred prisoners and a bloody repulse. General Gregg, com manding Field's division, is reported by a. lady; who saw the body as killed. • General Birney telegraphs General Butler at a quarter past ten on the - evening ,of the' 7th : I have repulsed the attaCk'orthe ene my on our right flank, with' great slaughter. The ,troops seem tn. be Fields' and picket's division. I send you a batch ,of prisoners. lam extending my ri,gb t flank. 'The enemy, seem to be entrenching .on Darby road. GENERAL SHERIDAN'S ARMY The last accounts we have from General Sheridan locate him. at Woodstock, and everything going on well. There . bas been another cavalry 'battle in the 'Valley of the Shenandoah since our last issue. in, this, as in all the previous battles, the rebels were totally defeated. It seems to be Gen. Sheridan's intention to draw the enemy out, from his hiding place among, the, passes Of the Blue Ridge. To this intent he has fa bait ilack, which movement the , ;enepay has mistaken for a, retreat, . Gen. Sheridan would, denbtleig, have made much better iSrogreis but for the dffi culty he has experienced of getting supplies to his army, via, Harpers Ferry }link Win chester. It is understood that the govern ment is about providing a better and more safe route for the transmission of supplies to this army. The first object of Sheridan's campaign in the Valley of the Shenandoah is accomplished. He has driven off Early's column, and , the remnant of that recently powerful and insolent army has taken shel ter among the passes of the Blue Ridge. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune writ ing under date of Oct. 4th, from Martinsburg, says : " The latest intelligence from Gener al Sheridan is up till Saturday morning, the Ist inst. At that moment his infantry were still at Ilarrisonb-arg, while his cavalry were east of the Blue Ridge, reconnoitering in the vicinity of Charlottesville. The rebel report of a disaster to our cavalry at Swift Head Gap is untrue. Instead of meeting with a repulse we gained a victory, capturing about one hundred prisoneriond driving the rebels through the Gap which they had . fortified. Rock. Fish and. Brown's Gap have been 'strongly fortified by the rebels, and are de fended by considerable force. they at tempt to, make a stand -there it:Will be : but a repetition of Fisher's Hill. •The Vosition is flankable on either side. A great many refugees, some , rebel soldiers , p and large num bers of xiegroes arrive here daily. General Max Weber has been ordered to report :to General Sheridan. ARMIES OF THE SOUTHWEST Ever since General Sherman oacupie.d Imam,. he has had considerable difficulty with the rebels annoying his communications . in the rear. The efforts 'to interrupt commu nications havebeen made mostly by detached, forces of the rebels, many of them mere marauding bands of guerrillas. The man who fought his way from the Chattahoochie to Atlanta, and vanquished the only con siderable stilly the rebeli had in the South west, is not to be moved from his purpose by any or all the guerilla bands and leaders in the Oonfederacy ;..and so General Sherman, on learning of the operations of the rebels in his rear, took Measures at 011C8 to put a stop to them. So far 'be has been very suc cessful: ' • - Battle near Altoona Maj• Gen.. Geo. H. Thomas was sent to Louisville to organize the troops in his 'Ais trict and drive Forrest from our lines, while. the attention of General Sherman was di rected to the movements of the main rebel army in the vicinity, of Atlanta. On the 4th of October the rebels hid captured Big Shanty, but were followed closely up by Sherman on the Bth. On the morning of the sth, the enemy attacked Altoona with artillery and infantry. The position was oc cupied by a portion of General Smith's Corps, The fight continued at intervals during the latter part of the day, and every move of the enemy waslaandsomely repulsed with severe loss to: the 'rebels. In the evening they haStily'reireated towards Dalton and Dallas, leaving theiL dead and 400 to 600 wounded in our possession. Our loss was about 300 killed, wounded and missing. Tke rapt of the retreat of the enemy to ward Dalton would' indicate that General Sherman was close upon their rear, near Al- ILiinfai- In the meantime .General ThOmaZ pushes them on the other side. ' ' Guerrilla Operations. z•Oix, the ilst 'Of _October, : General Buford, with a part of Forrest's command, including all his artillerY, - attacked Athens, Ala., shel ling the theplace for two n hours, and demand ed its surrender from the commandant, Col. Wade, of the 73d Indiana, who refused. Bufford soon alter-'retired. - • The rebel Captain'Elackwell, en the 30th ult., surprised and - captured some guards, numbering 32, at Tenn.,, and burned the Railroad depot and a lot of arms and munitions of war. Ten of the Federal prisoners were shot by BlitcliWell near Fay etteville. The balance were delivered to Forrest. Six of the latter escaped and had reached Shelbyville. One hundred and fifty rebels, under Duval itictrairy, attacked ',jetzt' Blizzard, of the sth - Tenne.ssia Cava*, in PHIL AD ELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1864. charge of a large drove of cattle from John sonville, within fifteen miles of Nashville, The Federal guards numbered 60, half of whom were killed, wounded, or captured, the balance escaped. An unofficial dispatch to the War depart ment says: From Lawrence we hear that Morgan has Forrest cornered, hos captured his transportation,and that the ganboats pre vent all retr eat across the Tennessee. Defeat of the Rebels in We%it Virginia. General Burbridge makes the following report of his defeat of the eneity in West Virginia Forcing the enemy from Clinch Mountain and Laurel Gaps, after heavy skirmishing, we met the enemy three and a half miles from Saltville, on the morning of the 2d in stant, and drove him to his works around the salt-works, where he was strongly in trenched on the bluff in heavy force, under Echols, Williams, Vaughan, and it is said Breckenridge. We at once attacked him and drove him from his works on, our left and centre, and held him in check 'on the right, and finally, in spite of artillery and superior numbers, whipped him and forced him back to his own works. In the eve ning our ammunition gave out, and holding the position until midnight I withdrew the command, in excellent order and spirits. The occupation of the works themselves was only prevented by the failure of ammu nition. From, the prisoners I learn .that the. enetny'S force was between 6000 and 5000, and that Breckenridge rms. present. ',Vial 4000 from Lynchburg. My force amounted to' 2500 engaged. It is certain• his greatly outnumbered us. A.,detachinent sent to Pound Gap foreed its way through, and drove Prentice, with, a superior force, frem his worki at Gladesville, capturing several prisoner% a number' of 'Small arms, and One piece of artillery. -Our lose in all is about three hundred and fifty.. That of the'enemy is more. I will repont,more fully by mail.. On the morning of, the 2d I re ceived an, order from General ,Sherman to . return. . `• - . Latest From all our AxnAes• Gen..Rosseau reports thatForresEescaped him .by crossing the: Tennessee in, fiat boats above and below Florence on the'6th inst., while he (Rosseati) was detained by high water in• Shoal creek and Elk river. Gen. Sheridan reports that his command was at Woodstock, Va., on the 7th. He commenced Parlaying back on 'the previous morning,, The whole country 'from the Blue• Ridge to the worth Mountain has been made untenable for the rebel army. Our forces have destroyed over two thousand barns ; filled, with wheat, hay and . farming implements; over 70 - mills filled-with ,flour and wheat ; have driven in front of the army over 400 head of stock, and have killed not less than 3000 sheep. Sheridan has not been follovied by the rebels. Gen eral Sheridan telegraphs from Strasburg at midnight on the 9th that a large force of , cavalry appeared in his rear ;so]; the previous day.. He halted, and the next, 'morning the enemy wad attacked by Custer and Merritt, and was handsomely whipped. Merritt Captured five guns and Custer six. Forty seven wagons, ambulancces, &c., and the headquarter wagons of Generals Rosser, Lo max and Wickham and Col-. Holland were also captured. General Butler, under date of Saturdays reports that our success on, the 7th was a decided one, although the rebel papers claim a victory. The rebel General Gregg was killed and General Bratton was wounded. Genera 1 Canby's last report states that General Steele was moving in foice upon the rear of Price, towards. Missouri. General Sherman, at last accounts, was at K eneaiwi repairing the: railroad between Atlanta and Alatoona. He y has plenty of provisions ip.Atlapta, , and, so far as the main arrbY t onterited,riebls secure. He reports that Hood has moved rapidly back to Dallasr,and Artinweit.- , Army of the Potomac advices "represent that the Fifth, and - Ninth Corps advanced their linei on'the Bth 'belt's. mile, driving the enemy's skirmiihers into. their ,breast-' works.' 'The movement was for the purpothe of feeling their strength. Our forces hold the ground gained, but as yet , have made no attack on the main line: General Grant re, ports everything satisfactory - about Peters . burg.., Our .losses were much less than at first reported. From ,Jefferson city we have official dis. patches, stating that on the Bth, the rebels drew up in line of battle before our works, but afier receiving a -severe` fire from 'our batteries moved .

General Butler on the Rebellion Major General Butler, now in command of the Army of the James, bas written a letter to General Cameron on the prospects of the rebellion. We would like to give it entire, but our limited space forbids. General But ler probably knows better than any man on this side the rebel lines the actual condition of the insurgent States, and their means of further resistance. It is known that Gen. Grant trusts largely to his facilities for ac quiring information—facilities which arising from his position are improved to the ut most by his extraordinary, professional tal ents. And this is the opinion of General Butler: " We have been lying in front of Lee's army now for four months, which have by no means been spent in vain. From the ex amination of thousands of prisoners and de serters, and articles in the- Southern news papers, lan certain these have been months of depletion to the Southern army ; that the whole arms-bearing population of the States within the rebel lines have been 'ex hausted in the effort to 'recruit their forces, and the'capability, if not the will, to-resist ance is fast dwindling away:" *After citing the rebel mode of conscripting and showing the hopeless condition to which they have been reduced for want of men, General Butler _testifies to the universal con viction of the Rebels that their cause is' wholly dependent for success upon the suc cess of the ChicagotoUperhead-McClellan , ticket: • --L- • • " Add•to this' the 'Concurrent testimonyof prisoners, deserters,:and refugees, that ;the rank•and file of their armies are in the con ' fidept, expectation and belief in the promise of their ; leaden, that this will be their last campaign,. that - the hcirriirteeS 'of the Chicago- Convention will be elected in November, and that the independenbe of the , Ctinfederate States will be acknowledged and`. a treaty of pea.* concluded, and.you have an imperfect synopsis of the -reasons why, I believe:the re: hellion near its end." With regard to the slaYery question,l3utler presen n ts'ttifi ease as follows : ", "Why not treat the slavery'46 dation aceard inglo thefact thatSlaYer3r., dies and is buried wherever our armies' march.? No :political action can• aid, no resolutions of 'conventions can hinder Altat result. The' war, if prese cuted tp the end, will accomplish all that the most ardent anti-slavery man can desire, so that' . : if the'war goes on to the bitter end for the restoration of the T_Tnion,ihen Slafery is 110 more, and all declarations that the war shall or shall not Jae' carried on for the ex tinetioff of Slavery are, •futile and worse, than useless. .The war will extinguish slayery, whether ,we :wish it or not. Nay, it has extinguished -,Slavery, by x•ender ing the slave worthless.
