The Elections this Evening.
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

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

it be would, lave peace and reunion, because Davis
has not said so, and'islli 'rot say so; bat you must

Here close the terms of bargain, and the
-understanding between Niagara and Chi
.cago is perfect. We shall receive without

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

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

In legal phraseology exactness is gene

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. But we beg
permission to ask attention to the following
brilliant bit of argument which the News
asks its readers to admire
,4 The brutal . stupidity of that indictment is In

but even the traditions of the Government.”
THE RICHMOND EXAMINER of the 3d inst.-
gave the nature of the political situation
with remarkable accuracy. 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."
IN ANOTHER Column we publish an ap
peal from a committee of ladies of Phila

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.
Lee has generally been successful when he cornea

A shortilme before dark, our line redressed and
strengthened. It wastoo long and attenuated be
fore the fight. It was now our tarn to advance.
Forward rushed our soldiers, and back went the re
bele. We.recaptured the works and the ground lost

here. It is very inconvenient for us to. remain in
this soft glutinous mad, but I fear we cannot tteeem•

• •
Another step has been taken toward the rebel
capital. • Another warning , has again disturbed the
heavily.burdened consciences of the arch conspira
tors. Lieut. Gen. Grant is rapidly negotiating
peace unti this line,» and is daily despatehing mes
sengers towards 'Richmond, and Into Petersburg,
whose powerful reasonings even Jeff. Davis will not
be able to resist much longer..
Another battle has been fought, and a decided ad
vantage has been gained. The troops, white. and
black, covered thereselves with undying fame.
Their conduct could not have been surpassed. The
colOred troops fully sustained the most exalted
Opinion which their ardent friends could possibly
entertain. Major General' ninny, commanding
the 10th Army Corps, remarked yesterday, without,
however, wishing to do any injustice to the whites,
that his colored soldiers had done handsomely.
There was neither wavering nor straggling; but ina
senting a fearless front to the enemy, their conduct
elicited especial remark, and excited admiration.
A few more exhibitions of loyalty and bravery, as
evinced during the past few'days In this Corps, will
soon eradicate the last vestige of prejudice and
oppreielon from the grand Army of the Potomac.

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

Banking campaign four S-Inch siege gain, six colors,
and over five hundred prisoners.
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. Panooast, ambu
lance racer, carried the flag. of truce. It was re
ceived by Captain Rand, aid to General .Ewell.
Major Briscoe delivered the body of the rebel Gee.
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. I am, through their haste,
able to add to some one's collection ;two pair of
manacles for the wrists, and one iron collar for the
neck, which—is fastened with a padlock, to.which
are several links of a chain to be attached, if neces
sary, to a similar necklace on an Individual, by
which means quite a number of men and women
could be yoked togethet, single file, for any destru..
ble length. - Rowan
THE ARMY BEFORE PETERSBURG
THE RATTLE FOR- Tan roSelmazON OF TEE WEL
DON RAILROAD.
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
