It would seem scarcely necessary to show the importance of the delegate elections to le held thirevening, yet we have, repeat .edly urged upon our citizens the impossi bility of obtaining good candidates without `taking the preliminary steps to insure good conventions.. If respectable Union men will take a very little trouble to-morrow, and attend the polls, voting only for men whom they know to be worthy of trust, they will do more for the principles in which they believe than is superficially ap parent. The polls will, be open from 6 to 8 P. M., and no Union voter should allow'ordinary affairs to interfere with his attendance, A Trace Impossible. answer to numerous letters and in quiries, we. may state that the proposal of an armistice by the Government of the United,States is a moral impossibility.. In the that place, it is not desired by the peo ple ;' in the second place, it would injure the credit.of. the country almost irretrievably at home and abroad ; in the third, it would ruin the military plans of General , GRANT,. and = undo . all that he • has done ; in the fourth, it would make the whole war a use less sacrifice of men And money ; in the. fifth, it.would abandon great Victories that are now certainly soon to be ,vion by ps ; in the sixth, it would inevitably revit - in a longer and bloodier war than is now probable, or in ,the recognition. of the Eolith ; in the seventh place, it would be cowardly, foolisti; useless, and dishonorable: Those who arc most anxious for au ho- isolable peace are the least desirous of such an armistice, and if suspension of hostili ties for the purpOse of negotiation is ever to he proposed by the United States to the• rebel leaders it could not. posilbly be until. GRANT has whipped LEE and SILERMAN vanquished loon. When we have our foot.on the neck of the foe, we eau propose to stop the fight, but not while he confronts us in haughty pride and defiance. Niagara and Chicago. We propose "to whom it may concern," and for the facilitation of all concerned, the construction of a special telegraph be tween the conspicuous points of Chicago and Niagais Falls. At the former the self styled Democratic party promises, to meet, and, if possible, to deliberate. At the lat ter, JEFFERSON DAVis ? own confidential friends have a Watch-tower for the strategic espial of Northern politics, front • which eminence every speck of pungent' intelli gence favorable to the last master-stroke of mischief may be trginsmitted to that gaunt and unexterminated person who has the life of the rebellion in his despotic keeping. This task of observation has been reit:tiered less difficitlt than might be tiupposed, for the approach of the suspicious strangers to the Canadian border has been a signal for the rally of all the Peace party to the Northern frontier. Conveniently near the great - Fall's,. and next deor-,to precipitation itself, three - or four. gentlemen of 'the pre cipitate school of Southern politics have come to precipitate a question. maid their interesting effort, let their sympathizing friends fall at once to _work, and complete a telegraph between Chicago and Niagara before the meeting of the grand Convention. It can be done in a short time if all the Peace men are set to task between Niagara and Chicago; and by the hour the Convention meets the line will be ready to receive a message from JEFFERSON` DA.vrs long before any word from the President of the United States can by any possibility , reach the ears of the friends of Mr. 'VAL, rammer:lAm. The construction of a plat form will thus be the merest scrivenery in the world; and the upholders of. the doc trine of State Rights and Peace-upon-any terms can secede at - pleasure, by telegraph, to the.raouth of the St. Lawrence and down to. Richmond, and have terms of peace to their hearts' content, just exactly, as Mr. JEFFERSON Dam wants them. Wire working could not have a greater triuragli, for, with a little magic of prestidigitatijto; Chicago could, in a flash, be converted to Richmond. . With' all our paths to make this proposi tion Clear, we find that we have suggested Frothing new. ' The telegraph is already constructed. Mr. JEFFERSON Dews' mes sage is prepared, and theline is in excellent `working order torsi! further corn muuleation. In view of this portentous circumstance, it is easy to conceive how the gentlennin from New York may become the mouth-piece ofthe gentleman from Alabama, and how * Northern Convention may become a Southern Conventidn by proxy. How trilling a matter, for instance, it would be to reverse the relations formerly existing between two distinguished men, if Mr. 'FRANKLIN PIERCE could become Mr. JEF- PERSON DAVIS' Secretary of War, by being re-elected to the Presidericy. Better still, if elected President upon a platforrri made according to Mr. Davis' plans, General McCLELLAx Would be the best of all com manders-in-chief for Mr. DAVIS' Northern army. Here we reach thelimit of specula tion; and must return to „fact. We are informed, upon reliable autho- •rity, that Mr. CLAY, of Alabama, one of.the - Niagara commissioners from Richmond, has brought with him the draft of a plat form and address,. to be adopted by the Chicago Convention, the conversion of that body being the main -and specific object of the southern embassy. The points of the platform, as. numbered 1.7 the Times, are as follows': E.. The war to be prosecutrid only to restore the ...Union as it was,' anti only...in fuck manner that DO further. detriment .to slave properts , dual be er• Acted: • • • .6. All negro soldlers and seamen to be at.onse arimed'and'degraded to menial service in the army and 'navy; and nO additional,pegroes' to be, pn any pratence,whatever, taken iron) their mastors.'.• 7. All negroos not Navin¢ enjoyed : aCtial.fiattt during the war to he beldvememaintly_sejle and whether those who. shall. have enjoyedlictusi freedom during the war aball be freepto Mao legs.l. question. . . The paragraphs of the tailless, Which we give further, are in happy keeping with this fragment of platform.; and, both, for identity with the established doctrine and the habitual expression of the Democratic !party, read to . a charin t it possible to distinguish in the following the rebels of the South from the Peace men •of the North'? '.Let all who are in favor of pinto; of arresting the Slaughter •of - our 'countrymen '• of saving the country. from bankruptcy and ruin; of securing food and raimentand good wages for the laboring classes; of disappointing the enemies of demo. cradle-and republican governments, who are re joicing in the overthrow Of their proudest moon =lents.; of vindicating our capacity for eelf-govern anent, arouse and maintain their principles, and 415[1 their candidates. "The etupicl tyrant who now disgraoes the ohair of Washington and Jackson could, any day, have peace and restoration of the Union; and•would tare them, only that he persists In the war merely to free the slaves." We cannot doubt what the 27171,68 pre dicts, that this platform and address will be the-substantial utterance of the Chicago Convention ; and we are prepared for :m -other piece of revelation : "Kr. Clay confesses to his Democratic Wanda that he Is for peace and disunion . ; but he says: 4 Ytm cannot elect without a cry of war for the - Union ; but, once elected, we are friends, and can Adjust matters somehow.' •He also says: • You 15111 acme difficulty In proving that Lincoln could, it be would, lave peace and reunion, because Davis has not said so, and'islli 'rot say so; bat you must .assert if , and rc•asseit it; and stick to it, and xl will awes as at least half proved.' Here close the terms of bargain, and the -understanding between Niagara and Chi .cago is perfect. We shall receive without :Surprise the developments of the Conven- Um, It, may, be objected, on the 'Part of the people, that the Zouthern scheme for peace. is unfair; and that peace for the 'Union and peace for disunion are not terms convertible. .Let all such weak patriots be• silent' while the mystery is unfolded at Chicago: , of how the nation is to be saved by . conspiracy. In the hour of our dead liest peril Ive are told the Democracy is about to throw itself in the breach, and preserve the nation by delivering itself to the enemy. The sublime heroism of saving one's honor by running away may disco ver a more majestic height in the devotion which proposes surrender for the purpose of victory. The nation will' not wait till the surrender to inquire for whom the vic tory is intended. Home Produce. The shipMents of specie from New York to Europe. during the past week amounted to only $45,000, against. about $300,000 in the preceding week: This indicates a cor responding reduction, it is to be hoped, in the imports of foreign articles—a return to the principle practiced here during the - wars of the Revolution and of 1812, :of consuming as little foreign imports as pos sible, and of 'wearing "homespun," if needs be,-rather than costly clothing from, abroad. At the same time, custom and luxury have combined to swell the number of foreign products which now appear-in dispensable to our daily Wei It is very well to talk of restraining from the use of such things, but when - we recollect that seventy cents_per pound is extorted by the grasping farmers for fresh butter, which used to sell for fifteen; that we could re duce the price by a general determination to dispense With the article until the 'extor tioners abated their exactions, and thit .We laak the determination to do this trifling thing, it is very clear that very little 'real self:sacrifice is to be expected at this time. Our own Pennsylvania can supply the majority of articles required to feed, clothe, and house'us. Custom has rendered many foreign articles almost absolutely necessary. Tea and , coffee, sugar and spiCes, are chief among these things, and it would be diffi cult to restrain from - their use. Foreign wines and foreign spirits are less necessary, anal ought to be dispensed with very easily. There is no occasion to import malt liquori, especially when as good porter and ale are now made in Philadelphia as in London, Dublin, or Edinburgh. Neither. is it indid iiens.ably requisite' for health or 'comfort that we should waste large sums everyday 'in the purchase of tobacco. We can .grOw it. here, w ithout:sencling to Cuba for it. Foreign fruits are luxuries whiclr.we well can spare, admitting lemons and orangeS for the sick. Our ladies ought to put up with net or linen gloves rather than pay UM on a pair 'of kids made by JorrviN or ALEXANDRE Of Paris,. or said to be so made. All'foreign manufactures of cotton, flax, wool, and silk are absolutely not required here. Our own looms can work up the raw material, and in the best manner, too, provided that the deniand, arises. There is a natural Ale sire:(offspring of fashion and luxury) to have our houses well furnished. Having discovered that our 'own cabinetmakers can supply us with all that is needful in their line, we do *lt import our furniture.. But we. do . import our carpets, and pay very deaily for them. In fact, however, they „could be as well made here as in, "England, France, or Germany, - and they would have been so made ; long, ago, but for the most absurd. and unpatriotic preference given to foreign aboVe home manufactures. Our real prosperity as a' nation will date from' the time when, instead of bragging, imported this from England ; I bad that expressly manufac tured for myself in Paris ; I had these velvet curtains made at Genoa after a de. sign of my own; I gave two thousand - dol lars for that picture at Rome," a man will say the furniture, fixings, and ornaments of his house are solely American, and the paintings which hug on its walls are the production of native genius. Until this occurs, society here will be in leading strings—conducted, at will, by foreign fashion, or what pretends to be such. The tendency of our tariff laws during the last four years has been in favor of borne industry, and in prohibition of fo reign produce.. Already the impetus thils given to native industry, talent, and inven- tion is beginning to make its good fruit visible. We can be as independent of fo reign manufacturers as England now is, and we , muct be so. The world never saw-. a greater absurdity than for American cot ton to be sent 8,00,0 miles across the A.tlan- tic to be spun and woven into clothing, and then returned, a -manufacture, to. be gold here, for the profit of England. The easy thing would have been to retain the cotton here and put it into our own looms. This is what we are steadily advancing to ac- comPish, “Oral Savmorn.—Yulgarity and violence are Ingrained In Bleck Republicanism. The indict ment of Mr. Multaly gives 'this a striking 11lustre.- tlon. , The Governor of the great State of New York is referred to in that extraordinary paper under the style of one.Seymour. 3 In legal phraseology exactness is gene rally preferred to politeness . ; still, if it would gratify' the Daily News, we will agree with it that Governor Bzymourt might have been referred to as two, or three, or half-a-dozen men.

It is evidently well understood in the South what use is to be made of the Democratic, party : "If .GuArrt , is engineering for Lincomes' re election on the Cbickahominy and Appo mattox, while SHERMAN is log-rolling for him about Atlanta, on the other hand, we regard General LEE as a pipe-layer for the Democratic Convention in Chicago, and General EARLY, it is said, has gone over to stump the States of Maryland and Penn sylvania for the Peace party."

[Special Correspondence of The Press.] THE YELLOWHorras, August 20, 1804, P. M. Here is a summary nf tke_ movement • which gave us possession of the Weldon Raliroal : Thursday morning the bth Corps marched to the left. Their destination was the present position ; the Object of this march, destruction to the railroad comment 'eating with North Carolina. The Email command of cavalry in advance cap tured or drove off every rebel this .sideof,the read. Very few shots were exchanged. A 19w cavalry vi dettes only opposed our progress. If a surprise was designed It could not have been more sacceseful. Griffin's division firstreached the road, and_ imme diately began to tear it _up, making breastworks of the rafts and sleeper& At this placelhe command halted for rest and refreshments, Near noon the rebels made their appearance. Mahone's and Heath's divisions were rushed up on the double. quick.. They ' attacked us instantly, impetuously. Ayers' division seemed about to be overwhelmed, when Hoffman's brigade of thet 4th Division came bravely upon his left, and offered the rebels stout resistance. The Purnell Legion, composed of Marylanders, for a moment received' the heaviest portion of the shock, but soon recoyered from the momentary confusion into which they woreltirown. Crawford •uPon the right and Ayers upon the- left,- now advanced their line simultaneously, swinging it around and forward so ai to take, longer and stronger grasp upon the road,- for which the enemy now' exhibited greal anxiety; Hams here the gallant Pierson, lieutenant colonel of the'B9th bfassachu- Botta, received a mortal wound, and many brave fel lows belonging to the 2d and 3d Divisions were placed tors du combat. Scarcely a mar th has elapsed since I performed the melancholy duty of furnish ing you with the particulars .of Colonel Davis , death. He commanded the 39th Massachusetts. One evening, while quietly sitting in his tent, a shell came wbizzing along, burst under the chair whereen he sat, killing him almost instantly. At last we hold the Weldon Railroad. That night (Thursday) we built breastworks of the soft mud. All night the rain fell drearily. Next day, until 10 o'clock, there was very little firing. Between 10 and 11 A. M., the enemy felt the line in front of;the Ve teran Reserves. A brisk skirmish ensued, which lasted about half an hour, and then died out. It was noon ; General WilcoVe division of the Oth Corps bad taken up a. position near the woods, upon the extreme right of the line, General Bragg's brigade of the 4th Division was slightly advanced as skirmishers. Then came Crawford's division. Whee lock's brigade in the centre, Lyle and Hartshorne, with their respective brigades, on either. • side: At this point ran the railroad. Upon the other side was Ayers' division and the 2d Brigade of Cutler's division, Griffin's and the balance of the 4th Divi elan following. • Between four and five o'clock the enemy came upon Wilcox with fearful force. Volley succeeded volley, but failed to destroy the impetus which the rebels had acquired in their run. Hamel:Lit on the right, and Humphrey on the left, had their brigade@ closely united, and successfully resisted and foiled every effort of the aseallants to penetrate their front. This was but the precursor of the coming 'conflict. A simultaneous attack was made upon ' our entire front, Every battery in position roared forth its dreadful direful notes. Great dark, threat ening clouds began to gather, and the white smoke of the battlefield gently ascended in soft pillow shaped wreaths to plead and propitiate. Soon the rain began to drop upon the hot heads of the com batants, and the roar of men's cannon vied with the rumbling of heaven's artillery. Fifty sharpshooters, belonging to the 7111 : Indiana, were swept from sight in Jesa time than it takes me to write this. The rebels had forced 'their way through the skirmish line, and were deploying:right and left, to come down upon Crawford's right and Wilcox's left. Here the fight thickened ; men grew desperate, and drew strength from the frenzy which the battle created. General Bragg , ii brigade was forced back, and the rebels rushed upon Lyle, thieatening to devour everything. The veteran re• ferree were swept from sight, after doing fearful execution with their new Spencer rifles. Colonel Hartshorn, commanding brigade, was captured. Colonel Carle was wounded and captured, and near I two hundred men from this brigade are missing. General Potter brought the 2d Division, 9th Corps, upon the right of Wilcox. General White soon took position still further to the right. This Wee early fn the engagement. These troops had just performed a wearisome march over soft roads, yet they entered the fight immediately with cheerfulness and cou rage, holding their place upon the right with great stubbornness. The both Regiment of Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers captured a stand of colors from the 47th Virginia. Emblazoned upon the , red, white, and.red folds were inscriptions of thirteen engage ments in which the regiment had fought—from Bull Run to Mine Run, About this time Major Belcher, commanding the Bth Michigan, was killed, and. Major Hart, com manding the 51st Pennsylvania, wounded. A short dislance to the left the 104th New York captured a stand of colors and some prisoners. The rebels penetrated our front, and-pounced in upon the flanks Of the different coniniands, Men began to come to the rear, with weapons in their hands. General Hayes, who connected with Craw ford at the railroad, was roughly handled. Ho was lately dubbed brigadier general, and commanded the regular brigade In Ayers' division. Hayes was carried off; and a, number of his troops. We receded from the Clay banks, hastily thrown up in a night. If they were of any protection, they were lost. The battle assumed the appearance of a melee. Every one seemed to light to kill Darkness was stealing over the field of battle. The rebels strewed the ground. Here and there. they lay as when killed, theirlong hair drabbled in tend, their : gray:clothes dripping with• blood.. Being the assailants, they suffered severely. We-lost. most in prisoners ;:they had many killed and wounded. Beanregard's men had concentrated with Hill's corps. They designed annihilating, with a power ful force, a single corps d'armhe, which they lel agined detached from the main body to tear up the railroad 'track. Unfortunately for the success of their plan, three divisions of, the 9th Corps were at hard; and the "salvation 'of Warren's corps was sure.

Blrney; commanding %Alston, Bent seven companlee of the 7th U. S. O. T., supported by a part of t'he 9th Regiment U. S. G. T., to retake a line of ride pits on our left, which bad been cap tured by Brigadier General Terry in the morning, and afterwards abandoned voluntarily by a mistake and reoccupied by the enemy. They sent up a shout of confidence, and, under the inspiration of their beloved commander, General Wm. Birney, the colored troops oharged through a Corn-field and drove the rebels out of the rille.pits. The enemy poured a heavy fire upon them, but was obliged to yield to their bravery. He was driven out, and we occupied them as a part of our defences. In this Assault OUT loss was between fifty and slaty killed and wounded. That tight our forces moved &Om Deep Bottom, andlook the position which they now occupy. It is an onward to Richmond movement, and thus far is regarded as a success. As speculations always tend to acquaint the enemy with our movements, I will' add nothing more than the cheering prospect which now animates this grand army. The crowning act of the Comma nder•in-Chief may be the rodeo- Won of Richmond' and Petersburg at the earn, time. On the 16th, General Terry was directed to attack the line of the enemy's wake on our left, and to drive him from his position. Brigadier General Etirney was ordered to hold his division as a support to Brigadier General Terry. General Terry ad vermeil, and drove the - enemy out of the first line of ride-pits, and then stormed the strong flue of breastworks, suffering severe loss, but driving the enemy from hiS position. The rebs rallied, how ever, In overpowering numbers, to force General Tiny to retreat in confusion. Finding himself gra , dually driven bank by a greatly superior foie's, his men acquitting themselves grandly amid a galling fire, Brigadier General Birney moved fowarti to his support, and with his troops, which. con. misted of the 2d and ad Brigades of the 10th Corps, and the el h U. S, colored troops, he advanced to the enemy's breastworks. The rebels then•appeered la great numbers, advancing upon Genic .Birney's and Terry's forces, and a brisa fire was opened and et:1;101810d On both sides, The - .enemy in 'at • tempting tolake the breast works were. repeatedly driven back with severe 10$4 The rebels finally succeeded, however, by moving their troops to oir left; 'a portion of the breast works which had tended beyond our lines, and had•not been & a . by our forces. By this manoeuvre, they were en to pour a galling fire upon our Bann - and rear, Mid under which the men on the left were obliged to withdraw, not because they were whipped, but that the position was, under the circumstances, un tenable. - • General William Briny after, having twice filled the gaps caused by the giving way on the left, was unable to do so again without exposing his lines, at other and more vital points. He gave the order to fall back to the first line of rifin-pits, which were captured from the enemy, which was accomplished in good order and without any confusion. The colored troops were the last to retire, which they did with unwavering firroness z and in obedience' to orders ; not, however, before they gave three cheers, which evinced theirdalnitiess spirit. During this fighting the ad Brigade, 2d Division, 10th A. C., lewd one hundred and forty-eight men and cflicers, killed, wounded, and missing. Colonel F. A. Osborn, 24th Massachusetts, was Slightly wounded ; Major Walroth,llsth New York, wounded in the side; Captain F. W. Parker, 4th H. 11., wounded in the face. These officers were wounded while each was temporary commander of the ad Brigade. Tbe'24th Regiment N. N. Volunteers lost three killed, thirty•two wounded, and fourteen missing. Thq, killed are Corp.

Major General Barney requested, yesterday, a cog sittion of ,hostilitles to allow him to recover his wounded and bury his dead, which were near the enemy's breastworks. It was conceded, and the time was fixed from four to six o'clock P. M. Major J. C. Briscoe and Captain Sweet, alds.de-camp to Major General Birney, and Lieut.

Ohambliss, killed and remaining within our lines. The Major received our dead. During the existence of the flag of trace the rebel officers mmilfested no inclination to communicate with our officers. Their countenances wore an aspect of anxiety, not un mingled with chagrin and disappointment. The in terchanging was of that formal nature which con- vinced the Union officers that the enemy was not in the enjoyment of good epirits, or were indulging 1n pleasing prospects. STRIPPING THE UNION DEAD. AS the hour approached for the cessation of hos. Unties, I mounted and advanced to the outer line of our worts, to witness the hewing in of our honor ed dead. Two rows. of men, several deep, extend ing far into the dense forest, formed a passage through which their comrades' were now briSrne on strcl chem. AB Mieh fallen hero was barelleesiong this passage of brave men, even .the solemnltk of tht scene could not restrain the indignation of the soldiers, as they witnessed the Union dead returned to them stripped of their shoes, coats, papts, and, in some Instances, of theirskirts.. Um, who were returned in their pants gave unmistaka ble evidence of having their pockets riffled—the pockets of which were turned inside out. The mutterings cf the men were deep, and their feelings emphatically expressed on witnessing the respected dead dishonored. This act of ineffable meanness . . bas nerved the hearts and strengthened the arms of the [defenders of the Union, who will sweep from existence these enemies of God and civlllaa• tion. Last evening, just after the flag of trace returned, the enemy advanced in line , of battle, and made a vigorous effort to turn our loft dank, but were forced to retire. Later in the evening an effort was made to drive in our skirmishers, but without success. The tiring was so severe for a few minutes that•it much resembled the opening of a grand bailie. SLAVE MANACLES. The hurried manner in which the worshippers of the patriardhal institution were obliged to leave these parts for Richmond, compelled them to leave behind several articles which illustrate theiteliarac ter and their humanity.

Fon:ruses Alownon, August 21.—The .mall steamer Diotater, from City Point, arrived at 4 P. 111. to-day, bringing a few more rebel' prisoners. Blayy cannonading commenced at 11 o'clock on Saturday night, on our extreme left, In front of the Pith Corps, which continued until 4 o'clock. this morning, when it ceased. Heavy_ musketry firing continued, however, when the mall boat left, at 10- A. M. The fighting Hi described as being of the most spirited character, and was oemishoned by an attack from the enemy, for the express purpose of driving our men from the Weldon Railroad. Up to the latest accounts, they had failed to accomplish their design, and the 6th Corps, -reinforced, still 'Maintained, and no doubt was expressed of their ability tomaintain, their hold on the read so long as they desired to do so. ALMT oY THE POTOIKAO, August 21.—Our losses in the fight on the Weldon Railroad on - g . riday after noon-were greater than heretofore reported in this correspondence. The number of Prisoners is now put down at 1,500. It seems that our troops were surprised, many of them being in their shelter tents at the time, tryinglo escape the heairy rain that had been falling for several hours previously. The enemy first appeared about noon, on the right of the road, in front of the 3d Division of ills sth Corps, but this was evidently a feint, or for the purpose of feeling our lines. 1 About P. RI. they charged in hea.ry force be tween the Eithevd 944 9orps, and R9 0 _91( 14 0 in turn- leg the flank of the former, Capturing $ large fin& ber of prisoners. This part of our line was forced back some distance, when the oth Corps, which had been relieved the night previous by a part of the 2d Corps, came on the field, and opened a fire, checking the enemy's advance, and taking a few prisoners. A heavy column at the same time charged on the left of our line west of the railroad, held by the 2d DiviSion, Gen. Ayres, which they broke, and here also they took 600 or 600 prisOnerBVrona the regular brigade. This brigade was commanded by Col. or Gen. Hays, who is believed to be a prisoner, as he cannot be found. Our whale line was thus forced back with a heavy loss in killed and wounded. The enemy, hoWever, suffered more than we did in this particular, his men lying thick all round the field. Before dark our men were reformed, and, being re inforeed,-a desperate charge was made to recover our lost .ground, which waa successfully accom plished, so that we held at night the line which had been taken from Re in the afternoon. Col. Earle is reported a prisoner, as Is also Col• Hartsteine. Gen. Crawford was shot through the rest and skirt, and narrowly escaped capture. Lieu tenant Clark, anis staff, was shot in the arm, while Capt. Monteith, Lieutenants Meade and Merrifield, and Capt. Smith, also of Gen. Crawford's staff r had their horses shot while carrying orders and rallying the nen of the various commands. The last named was a prisoner for a while, but, seeing a, favorable chance, made his escape. Captain Doolittle, of Colonel Wheelock's staff, was ordered to surrender, when he, getting angry at an epithet applied to him, seized a musket and bayoneted the rebel against a tree. Colonel Whee look's brigade, ,of the 8d Division, was flanked, When they faced to 'the rear; charged and drove the rebels, and took a number of prisoners. The entire number captured was about 2815, with some stands of colors. Our loss is estimated at over 5,000, in cluding prisoners. ,Nothinebut skirmishing took place along,tie lines to-day, both parties being.busy entrenching themselves. A battle is looked for at any hour, as the enemy seem determined to regain the possession of the road, while we are as deter mined to hold it. The' prisoners we took to-day belong principally to Beauregard's and Hill's corps, and are a fine,healthy-looking set of men, although clad in the usual style.

TEE BATTLE AT BKONT ROTAL--INTILIVAITLNG PAR TICITL ABS. 0 - ElerfnAl. SHERIDAN'S if IDADQUARTERiI, Sunday, August 21, 1664.—0 n the evening of Sunday, the 14th inst., and while Sheridan's army lay in bivouac at Cedar Creek, the brigade of Col. Devin was sent out towards Frout Royal, and directed to picket the Sonette Fork or the Shenandoah, which runs through Chester Gap, and watch the movements of the enemy. A considerable force of the enemy, sub . seguently ascertained to -be Kershaw's division of Longstreet's corps, and the cavalry brigade of "Wickham and Lomax ' was found to be at Front Royal, but until the afternoon of Tuesday, the 16th inst., no attempt was made to cross the river. On Tuesday the brigade of General Caster ar rived to the support of Devitt, and fortunately just - in time to participate in the engagement which fol lowed. Everything remained quiet until half past three P. M , on Tuesday, when the enemy's cavalry commenced - eroesing the river at the pike leading to Front Royal. Custer had already made his disposi tion for their reception, and quietly awaited their approach. Ransom's ,battery was placed in position on the left of the pike, while a detaehment of the Ist Michigan, Major Dean's, and the 4th and 6th New York, held the picket line, and were •in readine,ss to difpute the enemy's advance. The 6th; 7th, and the greater portion of the let Michigan were formed in . mounted squadrons in support of Ransom's battery, on en eminence to tbe left of the Front Royal pike. Sharp skirmishing soon commenced between the pickets, our men occupying' a position half a Mile from the river bank. Cautiously viewing the anus tion, General Custer made no attempt to advance until charged upon furiously by the enemy, when, -ordering a counter charge, the brave boys of the Ist Michigan and 4th and 6th New York swept deem upon the approaching Johnnies like a whirl wind. It is a notorious fact that a sabre charge by our cavalry Is alwaye successful. The gleaming steel has no charms for the rebel troopers, and in this instance, as in most others, they were hunted back, shattered and discouraged, across the river, leaving their dead and !mended on the fle/d ; and sustaining the loss of over a. hundred prisoners and two battle fleas, captured by the 4th and 6th New York, of Atolcnel Devin's brigade, advancing as the enemy did, in column of fours up the pike, they were cat and torn by the tire from SaniouVe battery, which. completely commanded the road, doing splendid execution. The enemy used eight guns, but with little execution. The .rebels were censiderably astonished at the unceremonious manner in which they had been hurled back over the river, and the enemy remained quiet for half an hour, doubtless 'wondering if any portion of the Army of the Potomac had arrived. At the expiration of that time, another crossing was made half a mile down the ricer, and on oar ex treme left, with the intention of flanking us at that point. This fact ascertained, dispositions were im mediately made by Custer to thwart the enemy in their intention to cross the river at the point men- . tioned. The enemy, Wafford's brigade, of Ker shaw's division, moved under . cover of the woods and bills half a mile further down the river towards a high crest, over .which it was evident they man charge to attack our left flank. Allowing this force of infantry to move down the river unmoleSied,'General Ouster quickly trained the guns of Ransomos battery on the crest, and post ing the sth alichigsn,dismounted, behind it, awaited further developments. A few minutes elapsed and the yells of the rebels were heard as they came charging up the hill on the other side. Now for the creSt. A Mbment's delay on our part and all - Is lost. Forward is sounded, and up the hill charge the sth, They gain the crest before the enemy, and from their seven-shooters pour death and destruc tion into the - -rebel ramie. Unable to stand the galling fire, the enemy again fell back in disorder towards the ford ; pursued by our victorious troop -ers ; but Gen.•Cuoter was not content merely to de. felkthem, and had sent in the Ist Michigan, Major Fortli, on the right, to possess the ford and prevent their escape. Surrounded in the river bend, and completely cot off from the ford, the enemy made no resistance, and nearly all were taken prisoners, a Jew only escaping by swimming the river, but all left their arms in our possession. Meanwhile, the enemy, seeing the condition Of affairs, had sent down a force to the rescue of their men beloW, but this manoeuvre found Ouster pre pared, and;as the rebels from the pike charged d , wn the river, they were assaulted in their dank by the Bth and a portion of the Ist Michigan, which bad been drawn up fronting the river, in anticipa tion of the movement, and in a few moments the enemy, leaving his killed and wounded on the field, Lad again fallen back across the river. Darkness came on and the lighting was over. We .bad captured two battle-Bags and two hundred and seventy eight prisoners, besides thirty or forty of the enemy's wounded. They had nearly as many killed. The loss on our side was -one killed and twenty or thirty wounded. We completely baffled every attempt of the enemy to dislodge us From ow position. In one of the charges made by OM' oavalry Adju- tant Lucius Carver, of the 7th Michigan, waif killed; end Lieut. Granger, A. B. C. on the stall - of Qen• Custer, was takeriprisoner. Prigoners report that Gen. Watford was killed during the engagement. The body of Captain C. H. Strickland, of the 3d Battalion of• Louisiana Sharpshooters, and a lieu tenant colonel,"whose name I was unable to learn. were found on the field. ' On Wednesday morning Oen. Custer retired his command in thed irection of Berryville, bivouacking 'ln the vicinity of tharphstreterr Wednesday night, and the next day following In the rear of the infan try column moving down the valley towards Bar per's Ferry.
