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

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.

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.

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

the most ardent anti-slavery man can desire,
so that' . : if the'war goes on to the bitter end
