REBEL ATTACK ON'THE CHAEMS CITY ROAD—
CUE CAVALRV DRIVEN IN—BRILLIANT MOVE
MEET OB' THE 10TH CORPS—THE REBELS DRIVEN
BACK IN CONFUSION.
[Special Correspondence of The Press, 3 ; •
Gen. Butler’s Headquarters,
' In the Field, Oot. Bth, 1804—7 A. M.
: The Incidents of the last .twenty-four -hours have
been of a< stirring character, though not on a very
grand scalo. It may all be gummedupln an attach
of the enemy and a falling back by our cavalry
force, and an advance by us and a retreat by the
enemy. . „ u M ;.V.
Night before last we were tolerably well assured
that the rebels, were massing In heavy force along
the Charles City road, with a view of turning Gen.
Butler’s right, which extended along the Darbytown
or Central road, near the residence of Dr; Johnson.
A reconnoitring party developed tko fact that they
were drawn up In line of battle on the Charles City
road,:: whloh Information was no sooner i obtained
than our party was attacked by the enemy and
driven in. - . ■■ r - .. . -
- The enemy somewhat suddenly hurled a large,
force of cavalry,against our right, yesterday, about
daybreak, whieh .was stoutly reslsted.and held In
check for over an hour by Eautz’s cavalry. .With
drawing their shattered forces, the - rebels : now
charged with cavalry, supported by Infantry, In
such overwhelming numbers, at the same time
successfully flanking our right, that Kautz’s com
mand, receiving no support, was obliged to fall
back insome'confusion, The rebels came with a
yell of triumph, and planted Instantly five of their
battle-flags upon the. parapet. Evan- then theca,
valry fought manfully, until they were surrounded
by the enemy, and many, of- them; were made pri
soners. The troops engaged In this affair were the
""Ist District, 3d New York, and sth and nth Penn
sylvania Cavalry Regiments, whose; loss inpri
soners far exceeds their killed and wounded, v~.
These regiments* after being; driven back from the
breastworks, were furiously.charged by the enemy’s;
cavalry, and, in making an effort to mount their
horses, many of them were captured, killed, and
wounded. Then followed a scene which was inevit
able. First came the frightened horses at a- fearful
rate without riders, next the riders without hate,
bearing marks of the conflict,-then those who were
able to bring themselves off In good order, and
among the last in the Jailing back were General
Knutz and Colonel Spear; for whose safety theoffi
cers and men manifested the greatest solicitude. :
Now the bright side ol this day’s doings is that
General Birney advanced his 10th Corps'against
the rebels, drove ■ them from the position which they
captured; from the cavalry, received- a fearful
Charge, met it with stubborn resistance; and hurled
them backamidconfusion and with great slaughter.
Their temporary sneoess in the morning just elated
them enough to attempt an attack:.upon the invin
cible loth, which resulted In great disaster to them.
The corps then advanced with a view of engaging
the enemy in battle; but every where his troops fled.
before General Birney’» command in the greatest
confusion. Wo have - not only recaptured what we
lost in the morning,- but have extended our right
mueh further, and it is now supported in a manner
which will give our Southern brethren a warm re
ception. :. v V-
Prisoners, .of whom in our advance we captured
quite a number, report that Generals Lee and
Early’ were both on the- field directing the move
ments of the troops. We shall soon have another
effort to turn one of our flanks, or, by massing their
forces, the rebels may make an effort to break our
centre.* The army is In the very best spirits, and
will cheerfully respond to any move which has for,
its object the crushing of the rebel army.
In the attack ol yesterday morning Battery B,
4th Wisconsin, eight guns,-was lost. R. B.

THE REBEL RBEULSB ON FRIDAY-—LOSS OF KAUTZ’S
CAVALRY—THB REBEL NAVY ON THE JAMES—
LEK’S ARMY BEING RAPIDLY DEPLETED BY DE
SERTIONS—DEJECTION OF THE REBELS. .
Extreme Front,' Chapin’s Farm,
Before Richmond, Oct. 9,4854. '
The excitement attending theattackof the enemy
day before yesterday, the retreat of Kautz’s cavalry,;
and the snbseqnent defeat of the enemy by. the right
of the 10th Corps (Terry’s division), has subsided;
and the granS work of preparation is being diligente
ly prosecuted.' Though the- enemy assaulted - and:
carried our .right, they were easily driven from the
position by General Blrney;who followed them till
daik with a view of giving battle, but without suc
cess. He fell back within his entrenchments before
Richmond; while our right is being extended to
meet any emergency. ' ‘
The loss in Kautz’s cavalry was'between three
and four hundred;' m ostly, however, in prisoners;
but the- success -of/bur infantry in the afternoon
more than wiped out the defeat of the morning.
The prisoners all say that If the army had marched
on, instead of stopping to take forts, there being
only twenty-fife hundred rebels between them and
Richmond, it could easily have captured the rebel
capital.. The authorities; fled out of the-city for
safety, and the greatest consternatlon pr.evaUod.
Yesterday morning tho two great armies con
fronting each other in front of Richmond were in a:
state of fermentation, each expecting “an Attack
from the other. Onr'army awaited wlth pride and
confidence: for -the hosts .Of Lee, hut : they did not
come. - The enemy gathered themselves'into their
ftrtificatlons, while their rams and gunboats In the
James went higher up than usual; and for fear that
our monitors would pass the: obstructions, chains
were stretched across the river to Impede their pro
gress. ’ ■ : "
apis-em
There are three rams in the James river, the -Vir
ginia, Richmond,, and Fredeiloksb urg, and four
gunboats; the Drewry, Beaufort; Nansemond,
and Raleigh. This is their entire naval force afloat
for the defence of Richmond, though other vessels
are being constructed, one of which: has been!
launched, but is by no means ready for service.’. I
had A good look at most of these eraffs. especlaiiy
wbat lthought was:the ram Virginia, whichwim at
one time within pistol-shot of the barn- behind which,
I hid. She Is a very ugly-lobklng customer, but by
no means a match for our monitors. TheramSsteam
down’the river every night as far as Bishop’s; and’
come up in the morning as far as Chapin’s Farm.
Six ilosortors camo in from this fleet yesterday, dis
gusted with the rebol service, and disheartened by
- the prospects of the Confederacy./ Desertionkfrom
the enemy are of such frequent oecurrence’that they
do not excite any surprise. In conversing with
: some this morning, they gave as their reason, which
is general Among them, that the throne of Jeffdom
was tottering;and they availed- themselves of the
first opportunity to stand from under. They all
frankly admit that It is generally conceded in the
Southern army, and among the people, that Grant
has, in the present, movement, as' on other poca*’
sions, outgenoralled Lee. Ik is this fact which'has
caused the depletion of the enemy’s ranks;and Is
fast dissipating all hope In the success of the rebel
cause.'’,-- , , - 1 .
. Laßt: night I slept in the trenches, with avlewof
witnessing an attack which Longstreet was to make
this,morning on our-left flank. The colored troops
who hold this part of General Butler’s line were
anxiously waiting for, the enemy to come. It may
be laid down as a rule that the rebels never come
when they, are expected. There was a deep solemni
ty in ; the :scene of our troops watching by their
camp-fires, silently awaiting the assault.
When or where the next movement .will take
place,-Is difficult to eenjeoture, hut one thing is cer
tain, that .the present position,of the army of the
James is by ho means .a permanent one,’ If we do
not get into Richmond soon wo shall be a little dis
appointed. This army cannot fail. Rollin.

Many of 'the,foregoing are supposed to be mor
tally wounded. How the whole storming party
was not annihilated, Is a mystery, when we consider
the open space through which they had_to pass be
fore tho actual charge on these frowning forts, the
number of guns of heavy oalibre pouring shell send
grape and .canister in their very teeth; whilst the
rebel gunboats were belching forth their ponderous
missiles on thoir flank. Never was the bravery of
the American soldier better illustrated than In the'
advance on these works.
, Without disparagement to the other regiments or
hrigadeS;Of the 18th Army Corps, command by Gen.
Ord during the battle on Chapin’s Farm, all of
whom behaved surperhumanly bra vo, I can assert
that the 188th and 58th Pennsylvania Volunteers,
side by side, were first In the large fort, capturing
fifteen pieces of artillery; that the colors of the 188 th
were the first planted on Its ramparts, torn by the
struggle to plant them there. Three of the color,
guard who upheld them were successively shot, two
killed instantly, and one severely wounded. The
188th captured two stands of colors. Not the least
amusing incident in that great fight for the .Union,
(if' anything ’could partake of the nature'of amuse-',
ment on trying dayf) was 'the turning of the
captured ghns against the flying enemy, by Captain
Givln and the men ol the ,188th—old artillerists,
they understood the business well, and sent, in hot
pursuit of its friends tho shot intended to greet the
adVanetog jhosts of the Union; A word concerning
our officers. Captain Dickson, Company F, was
killed: he will- be mourned here as well as by his
friends in Philadelphia, as a gentleman and a
soldier. Lieutenant Carson had just received his
commission, In Company H; he died worthy of it.

: The gratifying information-has-been received that

been badly whipped at the-Salt .Works. They .are
said to have been repulied In- two’ assaults', after
'which they commenced retreating; leaving their

, We also have the Ihformatloh’irom a perfectly re
liable source that the fighting was- renewed yester
day morning-at an early hour, but wnetner the at
tack was made by our own or the enemy’s-forces we
■ are uriable to;say.The general fact, however; that
the enemy were again defeated, with heavy loss, is
certain; Report has it that they retreated,-leaving
their dead and wounded on the -field. To- sustain
this latter statement we have -nothing more than
common rumor, and cannot, therefore vouch for its
correctness, though we think it- highly. probable it
is true. ' ’ . '

i Petersburg, Oct. 7.—Unusual quietude has pre- ,
;vailed here to-day, and for tho-past week,
i' Grant is still busy with the,spade on his new posi-~
■ tion near Fort Mcßae. .■■■■-
- lt-is. rumored' that Lieut. Gen. R. H. Anderson
'will be, assigned to command Gen. Beauregard’s
troops and department. ,
Fighting on theNobte Sums.—lnquiries at the
usual sources of information,, up to a quarter past
nine o'clock, produced no official Intelligence con-.'
cerning the progress and results of the fighting yes
: terday along Our lines’ on the North side. From a
: gentleman who left headquarters yesterday at about
4.o’elock P. M., we are enabled, however, to presont
a tolerably concise account’of the operations of the
’day....,-;:,,::,’',-
According to our informant’s statement, the firßt .
fighting-occurred at Battony Harrison. At about 8
o’clock A. 81. our men moved against the work—
the enemy having placed-'themselves in position,
some distance from the battery, to meet the attack.
In the conflict that ensued—the Yankee loss being
very heavy at- this point—our forces made a vic
torious charge, resulting in, the driving of the Yan
kees into tlie fort. • s ,-: - '• -
Onoe under the, protection of the defences of the
fort, however, the enemy rallied sufficiently to suc
cessfully resists the'!further advance or our men.,
This indecisive success on the part of the Yankees
closecLthe operatlohs of the Say near Battery Har
rison, our forces. ko’ding the ground upon which tho
battle had been waged. r
All accounts concur-In placing our loss at a very
low figure,, whilst thatof the enemywas very severe.
About an hour after the commencement of the'
fight' at Battery Harrison, namely, at nine o’clock,
our forces struck, the right of-the Yankee line, on
the Datbytown road, driving the enemy in confu
sion, through their works; fir over two miles, and
capturing some three or four hundred prisoners and
nine pieces oil artillery. The engagement at this
point is reprfesanted to have been the heaviest of the
day, and - Our ’Success' was not obtained without a *
valuable sacrifice of. life. Tho gallant Gen. Gregg,,
commandingja -Texan brigade, here fall in the ad
vance. To the; herolc'efforts,and uhtlrihg industry .
of this noble officer much, of our. successful defence
of the North-side, lately, has been due.
. Among other casualties;we have to report: Gen
eral Bratton, of South’'Carolina; badly wounded j
Col. Haskell, commanding the 7th; South Carolina'
Infantry, severely wotraded ln the face, and Major
Haskell,, of the South ’ Carolina artillery, also
wounded. Rumor states that General Gary had
been killed, but we are happy t o thinKthat this re
port is without foundation. We could trace it to no
reliable source.’- - ..' r : -,
Oar loss Ini tho battle on tho Darbytown road, like
that In the operations near Battery Harrison, is re
ported as inconsiderable, In! view of the success ob- -
talned. The loss sustained by the enemy, however,
is reported severe. , !' . ,
In the afternoon, subsequent to the cessation of
active hostilities, comparative quiet relgned-alohg
the lines. The day's work, altogether, was decided
ly in our favor, and leaves our: troops in excellent
condition for future operations.
. - Gordons ville.—Some exclt ement prevailed, we
learn, at Gordonsyille; night before last, from a ru-'
mored approach of a raiding party. It was deemed
prudent to remove the Government-stores and rail
road stock'from the place; ahd they were'according
ly brought down’ the road. A body, of Yankee ca
valry appeared at Rapidan Station and burnt the
bridge there’. It is not known that they have come
thisside. - „ .
i The.Y alley.—General Lee reported to the War
Department’yesterday evonlng that-he has a* de
spatch from .General-Early, which Etates that Sherl
dnn is'retr eating Irom Harrisonburg down the val
ley*’ Sheridanas; like: ascertain king who marched
up the hill and’themmarohed down again.
North Geobgia;—Any' number of rumors of an
exhl lira ting Character from North Georgia were cur
rent yesterdaY evening. If half reported be true,
Sherman Is not In Atlanta lor tho winter.
The PEEStDBNTrAL Campaign.—The same pa
peiiipeaks editorially of the Presidential contostj
as follows: .-; ..
’"Returned prisoners, almost to a man, express
the opinion fstf we learn; that Lincoln will be re
elected by afa. overwhelming majority., This ooin
cldef with- the view we have always taken of. the
matter, and with all the intelligence wo have re
ceived from the North for many days past. If any
think differently, they indulge a delusion, and the'
sooner they get rid of It, and of every other, the’
better for they will thenibe Ihe better, able to look
their situation calmly ln the face. The sooner we
a ccept the fact, that there is for ns no alternative but
success or subjugation, the better. : Let ns Indulge
in no,more day-dreams. -Vx te fight,to the last, or die
• a slave.
' ‘‘And so lt would be, ,we are very muchdlsposed to
think, even were McClellan elected. His platform
speaks a'dlfferent language, but what does he him
- self say 1 - He tells us plainly, that if elected, ho
will prosecute .the war to the restoration of the
Union. 'Now;:wo are determined nover to go back
into the Union. ; Of-, course, therefore, the war must
be proieeuted uhtil we shall have been reduced to
sameetlon; ,What oan Lineoln do worse than this 1
and this Is exactly what McClellan promises to
do. Re promises, to .be sure, to conduct the war
in a less savage fashion; hut eleot him under
■ Lis'pledge to continue the war, and-how long
.will ltr bejhefore he will forgot hia promlses, ’ Ac
cepting the war. he acoepts everything connected
with It. Be cannot carry It on.in a different mau
per, Hecatmeusstoie to their masters the negroes
of‘Whom jSincolh' has ssade - soldiertf. Indeed,he
was the flras general tomake. large inroads upon
Southern-property ofi this description.’ : He cannot
refuse to 'continue' tlhe enrolment of thatspeefeo of
force. He is £SJBr detested than Lincoln In . the
South, and would, on that account, be only-the
more dangerous ;en'emy, v “Had’-'l,incOln not shown,

Sontheru—had he proceededlike aman anda Chris',
tian at the first, the effect might have'been fatal.
As it Was, he consolidated the South into one.mass;-
of determined opposition.”
ThbProspect in Gbur'oia^—The
the following extracts:
’ The .Griffih.jKcttl says : % is not UkelyMfoat the
ideaevef'occurred to SherCfan that the'army which
had so long retreated before : Mm,from DaltoE*to At- 1
lanta, would dare to assume the offensive and’opan
a new campaign, so, different from any that.had’pre
ceded it i tha t all his well-lain plans would be con
fused ah.d overthrown, and he be "com gelled ttr.be
guided by the 1 strategy of his enemy instead of fore
tog his strategy'upon that'enemy as heretofore.' Yet
the strange event may possibly ocetrr. .> It is certalfe
that the Afmy'of Tennessee will not leng stand on’
the defensive; ahd that it“ will soony'if it has not
already, be found mating a’-mavemesit which will 1
set all former calculations at defiance. -This move- ,
.ment may, and probably will compel Sherman to
move the bulk of his army from. Atlanta, and pre
vent the march of any portion of his troops towards
the South.’ 'Rumor'says that a brilliant,"® stirring
campaign; pregnant with great events, is even now
in progress, and.from !t nitic.h of advantage is hoped
and expeoted for the Confederate cause! ilf Provi
dence but smiles upon; the; plans.now being so vi
gorously put intb exemitioh; the' aspect of war will,
coon'be entirely changed, and hostilities be far re
moved from their present'field. Under, these cir-'
cumstances Atlanta will prove a worthless prize.
The .-Columbia Sm; has-the following:: General
Forrest has been, promoted to the rank of lieu
tenant general of cavalry, and placed in chief com
mand of the cavalry forces of the Army of Tennes
see, Wheeler, who basso effeotuallyJiplayed out;”
has been transferred to North Mississippi—a meat
sure that was urgeduponthe PfeSldent'long before '
Johnston’s removal. - .
We might give the reader some interesting par
tieolara of the “situation,” doubtless already
known to many; but, we have determined, to do
nothing that may frustrate the plans of our leaders.
We believe, however^that nothing short of an in
excusable blunder in the execution of plans now
adopted wilLprevent the destruction of Sherman’s
army. Patience!

, AS TO BEAUREGARD—DAVIS’ SPEECHES AT AU-
0 USTA ; AND MONTGOMERY.
Wo find the following Intelligence in regard to
Mr. Jefferson Davis’movements in the Southern
journals: ' ...
Davis on Hardee.— The Macon Telegraph and.
Confederate says : “In our report yesterdayof the-
President’s speech we unintentionally omitted to
mention the nigh and deserved compliment paid by’
the Executive to General Hardee. ‘ Whoever may
have failed,’ said the President, ‘that noble
Georgian,' General Hardee, has done all that could
he expected ,of a 'soldier or asked of a patriot.’
Well said, and true to the letter.” .1
General Beauregard.— I The Augusta Consiiiu
tionalist com ains the following : As public curiosity
is much exercised concerning this distinguished
hero; and more particularly at present with regard
to his assumption of command in Georgia,,we are
E emitted to give the substance of a brief colloquy
etween a gentleman'and President Davis: ■ „
Gentleman. ’Mr. President; we shave. heard ’here
that Gen. Hood has been superseded. Is it sol .
President: If so, I have not heard it, and do not
know it to be so. v,
Gentleman. 7 We understand that Gen. Beaure
gard was to assume command.
President. Gen. Beauregard will take any com
mand to serve Ms country. He will pass through.
Augusta In a few days. "
The-qnidnunca are welcome to draw whatever
conclusions they please.
DAvis’ Speech At Augusta, Charles
ton Courier of September 24th says: His Excellency
President Davis passed through Augusta on Thurs
day afternoon. On his arrival at the Augusta and
Savannah Railroad depot, he was greeted by. a
largo concourse of citizens, who loudly cheered the
respected Chief Magistrate of the nation at his ap
pearance from the oar in which he was travelling. ■
In’ answer to..these manifestations .of popular ap
p'lanse, he appeared on the platform'of the car and
made a few remarks, in which he said he was happy
to greet so many of his fellow-citizens of, Georgia j;
that It Is no time now for despair or despondency;
that the enemy, must be driven from, the .soil of
Georgia, and that tho men of Georgia must aid In
the great work. ’ They must leave tor awhile their
wives and children, and cast their gold to the winds,
and help to drive back the insolent foe from ‘their.
borders. We arestruggling; said the President, to
preserve the heritage bequeathed jto us by our ;
lathers—-the right to govern ourselves—the right to
be freemen, > If wb succeed, we shall be happy and !
prosperous; but If onr Confederacy should fall, con
stitutional government, political freedom, will fall
with it, and we shall be subject to such outrages as :
tbat lately enacted at Atlanta, In the banishment
of women and children from their homes—an out
rage which would surely bring down upon the per
fetrators the vengeance of a great God. He ex
orted the people, therefore, to be firm'and faithfulj;
and all would yet be well. -- - -
"Speech at Mohtgombkt, Aha.—The Mont go-.
merg Mail gives the following report ‘of "Davis’ 7
speech'at that place: Mr.- Davis; began by express-";
tog a sense of gratitude for the occasion-which, the
kind-attention of the Legislature had given hlm, of
appearing before them, and assuring the cltizehs of ■
Alabama from that; Capitol In which’ the first
notes of our existence .were issued or hls' remeai-.

backward into the centre of Georgia, threatened the
borders of Alabama, and occupied the "bay .of Mo-'
ble ybut-theetty still stands; and will stand, though,
every wall and roof should fall to the ground. ■- He;
had been disappointed in all his calculations ;ih
Northern Georgia.; After sending; forward to; the
army at Dalton all the. reinforcements he could col
lect from every quarter, including the troops from;.
NorthernMississippi,‘he had‘confidently expected'
a successful advance through -Tennessee into Ken-;
tncky. Had he thought that instead of the forward
movement our armies would have retired to Atlan
ta, he would have left Ms old, lamented and venera
ble friend, Gen. Polk, to have aissallea Sherman upon
hfs flank by North Alabama; But he had yielded to
the Idea of concentration, and the sequel was any-:
tMng,than what he had been Induced to hope. Yet
we-were tot without compensation for our losses.
In Virginia, despite the odds/brought; against iis,
we have beaten Grant, anddstUl defiant,fijhold our
lines before Richmond and Petersburg. That pure
and noble patriot, that great soldier and Christian,
Get. Lee, although’ largely outnumbered in front,
largely outnumbered upon 1 his .flanks;; commands
a bodyof men who had never, known what it was
to be whipped, and never -stopped to cipher. The
time for action is now at; hand. There is but one
duty for every Southern man., It is to go to the
front. -Those whoare able for the field should Hot
hesitate a moment, and those .who;are not should
seek some employment to aid arid assist the rest,
and to induce their able-bodied associates'to seek;
their proper places in the army,
Mr. Davis adverted to the part he had himself en
deavored tobear iri the war,yOf his repugnance to
the office'of cMef, and Ms desire for the field, inci
dent to a military ambition arid some faith in his
capacity for arms. . He .also alluded to his long po
litical career, and the animosities and ill feeling
which an active part in the affairs of the country
had engendered. .He had. feared, he said, that old
prejudices In others might be turned against Mm,’
and that ■ old feelings m; himself might influence
-his action, but that he could declare to-day, after
four years of experience,; arid in the' same hall
where ho sworo beiore high Heaven to support tho
Constitution ofhis country, that so helpMm God he
had never Been induced to any course, public or peri,
sonal, by any consideration of the past. He felt
that It was no time, and he was not the man, to
have any friends to reward; or enemies to punish.
There be some men, said Mr. Davis, who, when they
look at the sun, can only see a speck upon it. lam ;
"of a- more sanguine temperament; perhaps; but I
have striven to behold our affairs with a cool and
candid temperance of heart"; and applying to them
the most rigid test, am the more confident the longer
I behold the progress of the; war. and reflect upon
God for the great aoMe vements wMeh have crowned
our efforts.
He next rapidly surveyed our history for the past
'three years, concluding Ms resume with a thankful
ness that the great staple of the South had been super
seded by gram and produce for the support of our
armies in the field. . ' 7 "
, He paid a glowing tribute to the capacity, gal
lantry, and patriotism of Governor watts, and:
urged upon the the Legislature the wis-,
dom of his counsels. In the same connection, he ,
Epoke of the soldiers of Alabama. They had fought'
- everywhere and well. They were still undaunted. ..
Their example should be the pride and glory of the
State, and an eloquent appeal to those who were
yetbehind., • ’
Mr. Davis spoke eloquently of the horrors of war
- and the sufferings of the people. He desired pea’ce.
He had tried to obtain it, and had been rudely re
pulsed. He should still strive, and by the blessing
of God arid the strong arm of the soldiers yet hoped
to obtain it.. If there be those who hoped to outwit
the Yankees, and by smooth wordsandfair speeches;;
by the appearance of*a'willingness to treat or to:
listen to a reunion, hoped to affect any certain candi
date In the North, they deceive themselves.; '' Vic
tory in the field is the surest element of. strength to
a peace party. Let us win battles, and. we shall
havo overtures soon enough.. Is there a man in the
South In favor of reconstruction 1: Mr. Davis drew ,
a fine pioture'of the horrors of reunion, which means
subjugation. “All that I,have to say;”,.he.:ex-;
claimed, In concluding tMs portion of Ms remarks,.
“ is that the man who is In favor of tMs degradation

vened at iMvisville/Biifcks county, tlie following
'patriotic resolutions waro.nnanlmoosly adopted :
W. her ms, TSi« Association has heretofore' expressed
itself in relation to t"he great struggle.'new waging for
the maintenance of tlie Government against rebellion ;
and, whereas, ij ik eminently, fitand proper so to do;
.therefore. '' . j 7"' •*;*- --t
Resolved, That £3 ere is abundant reason fof sincere
rand humble granule to Almighty God forhfe manifest
r favor shownm the substantial progzsssof our armb’da
ring the year past, a»din the cheering inaicatfeir that
the.rebefiion totters tints fall.
Resolved, . That in thisrcrisis of affairs it is mor&tfc*hn
everimpgriant that the war be pressed to a successful
isena,’ in order that we may not fail to gather the fruits
of a righ’eous victory, inr an abidinr pence, an en
during freedom, -
i?e#£itfee2, That.m-this, struggle we ars in'earnest
; sympathy with our GoverniEOat, and that peace on any
terms sbqrtof unconditional submission to the Govern
ment and IAwS would, render valueless all'fcho expendi
ture ot blood aad treasure in/the past, wouhfc ba sub
versive of all true'principles’ of. Government, and
would disappoint the justly-a Wakened hope* of the
friends of freedomi in this ana other lands '
That inaccordance With these views it is
the duty of every Christian, patriot, to .sustain the
Government by his piayerer Mrybice, his property,
and; if needbe3y his personals services- and-his /life,
against all foes and hostile factions North or Soutiii
•- Resolved, That'these resolutions l#e published in the
daily papers, and-that a copy be forwarded to the Presl
dent of the United States. w v 1 . .
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL;
Tlie Question of politics is ensrosiinfr so ’Saudi attem-
lion in mercantile ae welS as other circles that every
thing else for the time being sinks into insignificance^
; The transactions at the Stock Boardjwere consequently
very light yesterday, and will no doubt continue so for
s.everal days' ; In times of such* political excitement as
the presentlhere is very little disposition to engage in
stock Governments were firm, and the
’Bls sold up X* the !5-20s at 101 X with coupons off, and
10% coupons attached, City 6s were slightly better
State 5s were steady at 95. The share Jist was inactive.
Beading fell off and Pennsylvania Railroadln
oils there was quite a lull, and the tendency of prices
was for a lower range.
The following were the closing quotations for the' ca
nal and mining stocks: '

This -week the new Government loin of $40,000,003
will claim publieattention. The loan is gold-bearing, '
of twenty years’date, bnt redeemable at the. pleasure
of the Government after five years. The bonds will ba
Known as the new 5-20 s, and bear 6 per cent, par annum,
gold interest, absolute until Ist Ifovember,. 18®,' .‘after
which the same interest will be paid until it Is the
pleasure of the Government to pay off the- principal in
gold,:only by borrowing money on gold-bearing stock,
at a lower rate of interest. The present 6-20s‘ are sub- '
jecttobepaid off ingoldatthepleaßureof the Govern
ment after Ist May, 1867. . . . ,
It is much to be desired that the liberal terms offered
by the Secretary,on this new loan should be liberally;
(and widely) responded to on or before Thursday next.
Theawards will be made at Washingtofii of noon, on-
Friday, idfft fnSiT'TEe large lists' of bldders~throngh
the principal national Banks will be 'kajJt open until
the latest business hour on Thursday. -
jThe Western banks. have drawn : largely upon the,
East during the week, and those of Chicago especially,
in order to strengthen themselves against contingencies,
and as a consequence exchange on the Eastermoitles is
unusually scarce at .Chicago. This, of course, tends
towards stringency beret and,withthe drain of thirty
millions of legal tenders in payment of the new loan
before the end of the monthin prospect, there is no like
lihood of ease in the discount line. x
