Hmuth's Fmtiiv, Va., August 22. A brisk
eniragcment took place yesterday aboir two m'.lc9
beyond t'barlestown, between the Army of
Western Virginia aud the llebcl force now in
the Shen.mdoali valley. The battle vommenecd
at S o'clock A. M. by a heavy column of Itebel
infantry and cavalry attempting to pitree our
extensive fruit near Summit I'oint. After a
h.irii but decisive struggle, our .-kirmishers were
compelled to give way.
The 1st l)i hioii (tieneral Wilson) of ' enc.al
Torbct's Cuvalry Corps were engaged on our
right, aud suil'erel heavily, (,'oneral Mackin

men; but only one ollieer a .seriously injured.
Acting Adjutant Lloyd, of the 22d Wisconsin
Cavalry, anil three other o'll.'ers, were slightly
wounilcd, but hae not yet loft their cotnminils.
The movement had evidently for in object tho
possession of M irtiusburg, for at the same tlino
that the attack wns ma le nl Summit Toint,
another fal-c movement was made against our
extreme lett ; then the attacking column slow ly
inoved down towards our right, und then sud
denly a new body of troops Appeared iti front of
onr right tho 0!h Corps and a short but deter
mined battle took place.
Tha Oth, Sth. and 10th Corps fi rmed In line of
battle from right to left, as I hae wri'teu them
down. The Oth Corps bore the brunt of the
engagement, and tho 2d lbvis'"H lost hea. lly
some .100 men wounded, And fr:ni t'O to 70 killo I

Onr right drove the enemy fir over a mile, und

o'clock, when the entire army retired towards
Halltown, where they now lie in lluc-of b.ittlo,
on the tirst rango of hills in the immediate
vicinity of that plaeo.
The Kb. Corps, General Crook, were only par
tially engaged and lost hut a few men. The left,

Fasscngers who left Mobile on Wednesday last
reiiresent the people there as iu a fearful state of
excitement. Ihe Hebe! Malar-General Maury
was in command ot tlie deiemes of Mobile, and
was pressing evety malo inhabitant into his ser
vice, without regard to age or color. He is en
tirely dependent on soldiers obtained in this
manner to make anything like rcsistaii 'e to 0'ir
arms, being left without any veterjn regular
force. In other words, he Is mostly depeii. lent
on the militia, or citien reserve soldiers of the
State, to resist tho proi'ress of our arms in that
direction. Ho might as well have men of slniv.
Many of the people are npp ised to the Reb'd
Authorities, and are most anxious that our forces
should take possession.

There is very little tr ido or business o: any

yesterday's assaults bus been momentarily ex

may have taught him a lesson.

As the case stands, these two facta are evident :
It is fatal, or the next thingr to it, to the enemy to
lose the use of the railroad across which our
battle line now extends, und to drive us from our
position and recover this road his evorv resource
and energy will doubtless be called into action.
On our side it is of the utmost iuiportiiuce to muin

their Bourd, and obstetricians of the House, who
reported that in consideration of the present
inferior hygienic condition of tho Children s Asy.
luin, they leeonuneud that a building bo erected
entirely dintiuct from the Almshouse proper, und
removed from the malarious inlluetice of the

Im'ortT'.N ' Wool. Si r. An important woal
suit is about to bo hel l ill Cleveland, Ohio. The
allege. 1 farts arc that II. C. Davis, the pla'ntlfi'iu
Die .-ni', a wool d' .tier of Philadelphia, contracted
to par lia-e a considerable amount of wool from
I). F. Bayard, of Nt irk inty, Ohio. After the
eontia th.nl iicn made, the prf'e of wo'd ad
va; e.', an l lt.oon ponn Is of woo!, Iir '.udj I iu
the e(,ntia -i, were sold ir llayar.l to anothir
p. rson a, a prlcj above that tor which It was
contracted by l)a is. But wool advauce d still
further, and then Bayard, instead of delivering
to ei'bcr tho llrst or se on l buyers, sold the wool
to siill a.'ioth ;r per-sin at still higher rites. Cn
Ie. uniug these facts, Davis conimeneod proceed
in 4s in the ' 'nited Stales Court for the No.'thcrn
District of Ohi ), and Deputy FidtcJ -i-atcs Mar
shal siianionsrcplevlncd the wool whi'c In transit
to the 1 1st purchasers. It was taken to Alliance
by tho Deputy Marshal, and t hipped to ( love
la'i 1. About an hour after Siiunious let': with
his pri.e, auoth.'f suit of replevin came In from
flic setouil purchaser, but it was I u late. The
ipieKion of what constitutes a bargain In selling
wool will probably be settled by this action.

To the President of the Alsace Iron Co.npnuy,
Philadelphia. Dear sir: I have to report with
regard to the mine this week, that the work ia In
successful operation. There have been delivered
In Reading about one hundred tons of ore, w hich
will bo forwarded by canal to tho farnacos a",
Spring Mill in the course of this week. Tho
teams are daily hauling to Reading about twelve
tons por day. To bundled te ns have now beju
sold at from live to six dollars per ton, but I am
of opinion that the price may be considerably
advanced at the next sale. The cpaality of tlie
ore is such that tlie demand for it will insure the
sale of any amount that can bo mined. The drift
is cettlDg along us fast as it c in be worked, and
the nppouruuees for ore getting more iavorablc as
it adian 'es, and will cut the vein now being
worked about seventy feet loiv.tr in the hill.
Yours, Ac. Ronr.ur II. Hoiitnr,

inteicst has given satisfaction to all holders of
bonds for investment, and stimulated new pur
chases by careful people. A few self-olected
friends of the Government regret that Mr. Fes

tho Bub-Treasuries to give conlidencc in the
prompt payment of the Interest due in November,
modestly insinuating that It is a poor paymaster
who pnjs in advance. People who anticipate
their payments have ever been favorites with the
merchants in New York, and Mr. Fessenden bus
made no mistukc Iu distributing his hoard of
gold to its prospective owners, it would have
been almost criminal to hoard tho custom duties
until November, causing another advauce iu
gold, and untold losses upon the community.
