REAIDQUAIMIRS IST DIVISION 20 CORPS,
BEFORE. PETOILEBURO, Oct 28,1864-9 P. M.
The tremendous artillery firing Which took place
last evening, commencing about nine o'clock and
,
continuing, until past midnight, turns out not to
have been altogether without cause. One of the
most brilliant affairs in which the 2d Corps has par
ticipated has just been enacted by a portion of the
Ist Brigade of this divislom About one hundred
and fifty yards beyond our .pieket line, and scarcely
a fourth of a mile from the famous mine which was
exploded by the oth Corps, under Burnside,-some
months ago, stands one of the strongest and best
constructed fortifications in the rebel outer line. It,
is an earthwork, with bombproofs, and is environed
with abattis of novel construction. , Between this,
fort and Fort Bice, held:by, one brigade, is a ravine,
which the adjacent rebel fortsmarswesp.
The order for the assault was issued by General
Miles, who' intended the affair, mainly as a recon
noiseanbes haiing no kies, that the rebels could be
so' easily caught napping., To Col, Mulholland,
116th Pennsylvania Volunteers, the general man
agement of the work was entrusted. 'Much against
be wishes of the Colonel, Captain H. D. Price, Of
the game regiment, volunteered to lead the charge,
and a,detaehment of 100 men from .the 148th, Penn
,gylvania Regiment also Volunteered. Shortly after
6 &Clock P. 8t.., the brave 'little band passed out
from the-defences, and .iiiently formed inside our
picket lines Colonel instructed Capt.
PriCeas to the best inetluidofreinoving the abattis,
and directed the men not to fire a shot l but to use
the bayonet, if necessary., They were - likewise or.
dered not to cheer unless they should succeed in
entering the fort, when 'a single cheer would be a
auifcient signal for eendir,glorwardreinforcements.
About seven o'clock the men started forward on
doublequick. It was raining at the time, the evening
was dark, and they had almost reached the fort be
fore the rebels perceived them.. Still no shot was
fired. TheYsprang over the'earthworks, and before
the rebel garrison could recover from its Surprise,
the victory was ours. The rebels made some little
resistance, but they had, been taken completely by
suiprise, and save a few who effected -their eseape,
the garrison, numbering about fifty men, Were taken
prisoners. • We succeeded in "taking the following
rebel officers
.
- .
Colonel Harrison :40th=Virginia Regiment,"com
inanding the fort. - - •
Lieutenant Colonel Wiee, 4stla Virginia RegitUent
Lieut. Bylen, 34th Virginia Regiment.:
Lieutenant Case, 16th Virginia Regiment, and
about forty private soldiers.
Colonel Harrison could not at first be induced to
believe that he was a prisoner, so astonished,was he
at tho audacity of the enterprisy, and pronottneed
the affair to be " a d—d Yankee trick.) , We learn
from the prisoners that Wise's brigade, Bushrod
.Tohnson's division of Creneral Anderson's corps,
together with Ransom's and Finnegan's brigades,
hold the line opposite us. In addition to the pri
soners taken, numbers of the rebels were killed and
wounded in the trenches, refusing to surrender.
Colonel Harrison admits that, if our assailing party
had been supported by two hundred men, they could
have maintained their position in the fort. But this
was not to be. ' .
As soon as we took the fort our men gave the
cheer as a signal, and Col. Mulholland despatched
his aids to the adjacent fortifications to Qbtain the
neededreinforeements. It was in the plan of ar
rangements that the 26th Illiciigan should be. held
in reserve. But this regiment did not arrive uPori
the ground in time, and •no available troops could
be got ready to send forward for•half an hour. In the
meantime the rebels rallied about 700 strong, and
drove out our men. About fifty men out of the hun
dred are missing, the-majority being wounded. Capt.
Price, the leader of the charge, was the only]officer
killed. His body is stillin the enemy's possession.
A complete list of the 'casualties is sabjoined.
During the fighting.which this renoontre led to
neither side used artillery, each fearing that it
might inflict more damage upon Its own men than
on the enemy.',
But immediately upon the return of our assault.
ing party with their prisoners, all our forts in this
Vicinity opened upon the rebel forts a terrific can
nonade, to which the rebels responded with equal
vigor. The firing commenced about nine o'clock,
as I have .stated, and-lasted until one o'clock this
morning. luring to the rain'was'
falling. .
We gained ancither decided advantage over the
enemy last evening. The 3d (consolidated) brigade,
commanded by Colonel McDougall, 111th Now
York, advanced against the rebel picket line, and

BEFORE : PitTIERSBURG; Oct. 28-10 P.M.-
The rebels for some cause or other are unusually
exultant tonight, and there has been a groat deal
of cheering along their lines . Possibly they feel in
good spirits because their efforts to hold the South
Side Railroad yesterday succeeded better than they
had expected. Their exultation may be short•lived.
From the stentorian nature of their shouting, it is
plain that their centre has been strengthened to-day
from some source or other.
. This morning at nine o'clock, a soldier of the sth
NeW Hampshire Regiment, Ist Brigade, Ist
vision, 2d Corps, was executed-1n the vicinity of
these headquarters, at Fort Stednian. He was a
Norwegian by birth, and had not been intire,thin a
month in the country when ho entered the service.
Ten • days ago , he attempted to desert with a corn*
fade. The latter, quite a youth, was shot by our
pickets. Tho prisoner died without betraying the
least sign of emotion.
CITY . POINT, _V&y COtObet 28 7 -11. P. M
. .
The fighting on theleft, briefly referred to in yes-
terday's despatch, commenced about four o'clock.
yesterday afternoon, and the whole affair was 0021 ,
chided by five. An officer just froth the front, in
charge of a car-load of the wounded, informs me,
that our men yesterday morning made_a dash at
the Sonthside road, and succeeded in tearing up the
rails and cross-ties for a distance of a hundred yards;
but a. very heavy artillery fire was opened . Irina
them from the rebel fortifications commanding the.
road, and the rebel infantry, after making several'
terrific charges, succeeded in occupying the grou:nd
from which we had driven them.
. .
Our entire loss killed, wounded, and missing, win
not exceed five or six hundred-less, It is believed,
than the enemy sustained. There has been less
fighting than we had been led to anticipate. We
have.taken fourteon hundred prisoners. The heavi.
est fighting, it is said, as well as the heaviest lois,.
was sustained by the 2d Corps, commanded by Gen.
Haneock. The rebels made desperate efforts to out
flank this corps, but Generil Hancock made three
very heavy charges, and the enemy found the effort
to be futile.
Eken. Hancock is reported wounded, but the re
port is contridietecl, and it is hoped that it, may not
be true.
;General Grant was struck in the shoulder by a
spent ball, and. slightly wounded, but not ineipset-.
tated for active servlce.
General:Warren, likewise, had a very narrow e&
cape, his left cheek being grazed by a mime

On the meriting -Of. the 27th about six •o'clock, one
hour liter than was announced for the march. The
soldiers, ig geOltzlo t moved. along theiSingshod
road. By ii - eireititous route we reached the'Darby 7.
town road,•01211 we followed up intilfwe mine to
Vbite , a Tiivein. A.Wheel to the right brought us
into the Chailel City road, and from-here we took the
route which'had been pursued by.the cavalry. As the
'soldiers pasted rbeyond the Seven Pines and the
extreme fortificatiOns which McClellan had erected,
they ;manifested; evident. satisfaction; while many
el them Trim; had figured In. that disastrous cam
paign -pointed out places, of interest unknown to
other.. When the column came' out upon the
Williamsburg road and formed in line. of, battle,
the sight was cheering to behold. 'From the repeat
ed reports of musketry, which greeted our ears here,
it wasevident that the cavalry was diverting the
attention of the,onemy.
But [little time was spent in delay, and in the
neighborhood of twelve o'clock two brigades of in
fantry, under Colonels Fairchild and Cancn, corn
mending respectively the 3d brigade, 2d division,
18th Corps, and the Ist brigade,- ad division : lBth
Corps, were ordered to demonstrate in line of battle
against the enemy's works, which were about three
miles and a half from Richmond. • Colonel A. G.
Draper, with his gallant colored brigade, which• so
successfully: carried the enemy's works on the 29th
ult., formedn line of battle,"with some other troops
in the rear, in an almost impassable jungle. It was
difficult to see any distance from where this line was
formed,iying down under cover of the dense under
growth. TIO 'enemy's works at this point, in.
front of Fail / Oaks, were not only strongly built, but
were. well fortified. This fact, having been ascer.
tamed, it was necessary to maka such a demonstra-
Alen as would seriously threaten the 'enemy's line,
and prevent , . the reinforcement of his forces on his
right, which we had good reason to, believe was
being attaoked by General Meade.
A skirmish' line had previously been thrown out,
which drew, portion 01 the enemy's fire ; but when
the two brigades, for which he reserved a volley,
came up on a charge, a concentrated disoharge of
musketry was poured into them. Many of the 89th
.New t York,.Bth Maine, 118th New .. . York, sth Mary.
liiiidylestrNew York; 98th New York;9il.Vermont;
and 19th 'Wisconsin were killed and wounded. •An
effort was made to continue the charge and demon
krate .more ..fiercely against theonemy's line, butt I
when within twenty rods in front of it our line,
of battle wavered, and - those.who remained fell tb
the grtMd, where they remained till night shaded
the scene. The colored brigade was chafing with.
iinpatieneskto be let loose upon-the rebels, but as it
*Was not apart of the plan to capture the works,
, but to keep the enemy where they were, they were
to a great extent disappointed.
Oesr.:Weitzel having performed the part allotted
to iian.,fer the day, began, about 8 o'clock, to with
draw, ;his fore; from the enemy's front. This was
tnil:eaceedingly difficult, as the dense mass
of brush thickets, coupled with intense dark
',extremely alsigreeable by a beady .
•rain,'whieb began at noon and continued until mid-1
night; rendered it almost
,impossible- to Couimunia
ate with our entire line. Ae it was, the 38th U. S.
O. T..`sicad four 'companies of the. 30th U. S. C.'T.
were sot aware of the movement, and were left in
their position until the followinganorning, when, to
their astonishment; they discovered that the. column
had' retired.-- This little 'incident, more than any
tbing.elle, manifests how, securely we were stationed
there, and with .what, alarm we_filled the rebels.
-When morning brokei-and these troops saw that only
they were holdingAhe entire rebel force in his en
trenchments!, they•verywlsely retired before the ene
my discovered the fact.. They picked their .way„
through thedense jungle as best they could,and,com-,
ing out upon. the Williamsburg road, wore informed,
by the ciiiralry that the infantry was encamped at
the White-House Tavern, several miles-to the rear.
As It..was, many or our wounded fell into the
.eniony.'s hands, while many others, becoMing hist in
the jungle, walked, without being aware of it, into
the enechils-pieket linee, and were pressingly re
anisted;to remain. Others, ;:having been this way
.beteXe.,,,irader McClellan, knew the route, and pi
lotetthentselves and their comrades by- the most
filisieXiionrse to the rear. The loss in the two bra
gOes not exceed 400 in killed and wounded. •-.
Such le a plain account of the part assigned to
Gen. Weitzel in the great drains& of that day, and if
other hayse performed their part as successfully we
shall be greeted, as soon. as we return to the rear,
with-the news of a grand victory. .
Col. Holman commanded the 3d, Diiision, 18th
Corps, but as one brigade had been left in the en
trenohmenta in frontp_f-Richmond,24lloo4r had been
assigned for the darato_the division under General
Hicknaan, find the remaining one he headed in per
son. This force constituted the reserve, and was
posted on the Williamsburg road, about a mile from .
White Oak Swamp road. Late in the afternoon
Colonel Holman was ordered to threaten the
enemy's left flank - with a severe demon
stration. Ho wheeled, out of the 'Williams
..burg road, (ironed the York River Railroad, which,
:we understand, is out of use, and cut the telegraph,

outrage of which the Democratic masses, have com
plained, and against which , they have se ofttin re
soived, was either originated, recommended, pr ap
proved by General McClellan during his connection
with Mr. Lincoln.. 'Arbitrary arrests, the 'draft,
military interference with slavery and the ballot
box, - suspension of habeas corpus, are all the off
springs of his military. genius. We shall , not At
tempt to.convince-yeu of these painful-truths:by
our own arguments declaration, but will proceed
at once to' ditect your attention to the, record of,
stubbOrn facts; made 'by General McClellan him
self, and published by order of the Congress of the
United States. , „ ,
,In the lint official communication of General Mc-
Clellan to Mr. Lincoln, dated 4th of August, 1861,
he.uses this language " The purpose of ordinary
War is to conquer a peace, and make_ treaty upon

it has become

cause. Our party are the peculiar advocates of` the
great American theory, that the ..people are • the
source of power, and that all Gpvernments derive
theirjust authority from the consent of the governed.
And yet it, is proposed that we shall give our support
to a man for the Presidency whese unsheathed sword.

have referred, thh3,boasted apostle. of. Democracy,
while professing to others to be fighting for the Con

AILBITRABY ACTS AHD ARRESTS.
On the subject of arbitrary arrests and the sus..
pension of the habeas corpus, for which Lincoln and
his advisers. have been so severely- censured, it is'
only necessary to examine the letters and orders of
General McClellan to know that he is'the author of
the system.- -He was the," Young Napoleon" of the
days of-Mr.-Lincoln's Administration across whose
illimitable vision no shadow dare All the de
partments of 'the 'Government, State and Federal,
and even the people, learned implicit obedienbe to
the iisperial will of this sceptre General, " wrapt
in the - solitude of his4n. originality."
On the 11th of November, 1861, writing to Gene
ral Valleck, then at St. Louis, referring to a class
of persons who claimed to military appoint
ments, he says: "If any of theta give you the
slightest trouble, you 'will at once arrest them and
send. them under guard out of the limits of your
department, informing - them that if theyreturn they
will he placed inclose confinement."
Could an order be more arbitrary than this ? No
siecussition,• no trial; but .men .to be driven. arbi-
Trarily from their homes, their famillautheir friends;
denied even the poor-pilillega, of , remonstrating
against such acts • of' laiilese tyranny;* lest:-they
abould be immured in some filthy dungeon to live
upon its vapors, and die like felons. .
On the 12th of November, 1861, just cne'day after,
lie writes to General Buell, and says :."-When there
is good reason to believe that persons are giving
aid, comfort, and information to the enemy,-it is of
couree.necessary to arrest them." No mike mili
tary arrest has ever. oociirred'where the,officer
dering the arrest' did not -claim tohave "good
reason for making it," but as,mich reason-was never
required to be given to the public, or the party ar
res led, that he might -
discharge himself from the
suspicioxi cr accusation against him, if any, the pub-•
as well as the victim of suah arbitrary power,•
have been kept in• utter ignOranee of the cause of
such arrests.
If General McClellan had respected the authority.
of- the Constitution and laws of,Che country, he
would have required that all stiolffpoSOns as he AU.
scribe's, when arrested; should. be-landed Over to

TART Alai TAB ELECTIONS.
EXECUTIVE OBiline, F.RAMEY/CRT, Oct. 17,1861.
To the Officers of Election and Ottiliens of Kentucky :
* * f * * 5 , *
Tlie atprehensione of many haveheen startled to
fear that thimilitary authorities will interfere, and :
attempt to control the election. These fears have
been awakened 'by the declaration of martial law
'over Kentucky just preceding the August elections,
and by the incidents connected therewith; and by
the continuance of martial law, withdut' any (ma.'
don or reasonable pretence. therefor.
The practical common sense of the loyal and law
abiding people of Kentucky can see no reason for
being singled out for military rule, at a time when
;the civil authorities are fully established, and' com
petent to the emergencies of government.
• As martiallaw operates only upon those within
the lines of militaryKoperations,and not upon' ad
verse forces, and is only warranted where active
hostilities exist, it Is no satisfactory answer to those
fears.to say rebel raids and guerilla depredations
make martial law necessary.
Rebels and guerillas must 'be met with martial
forces, not with martial law. No guerille.was ever
• startled from the bush, or rebel soldier frightened
frona•his purpose, or law:breaker, intimidated , into.
obedience of law, by a' declaration of _martial law.
Martial - law In' Kentucky must expend Its force
upon'the loyal citizens, as it cannot be broright•to
bear upon the rebels or guerillas. Nor is martial
law required to empower our soldiers to give battle
to rebels or to hunt down guerillas.
From this common sense view, which is apparent
to the. intuition of all, martial law declared sever.
Kentucky assumes to many the aspect eta menace; •
and, •therefore, 'they appeal to me, from all diree- .
dons, to know "if we are to have a fair election."'
The Constitution deciares that "all elections shall
be free and equal. If the officers of election will do
their. duty, and the citizens will manfully support
them !alba discharge of duty, we will have a " free
election."
- Thoefficers of election are civil offiters=derive
their "powers Trom, and have all their duties pie-.
scribed by,- civil authority. - They can only leok.tto
the rules'prescribed' by, air as their exclesive and
. only:rule of duty.- They Caniiotregard or obeyany
order, in relation , to elections, from any military
source whatever, withont violating their oath. An
order from anymilitazy source, directed to the aft
cera of election, end assuming.to direct their duties,
is not only an outrage , upon civil liberty, but an in
sult to. the honor of the officers of election, and
should be so resented. •
The military authorities. have nothing to do with
elections, and have no authority or right, as officers
or soldiers, to interfere therewith. . At elections all
are citizens—none are soldiers. Ilitizenship is the
highest status of the man. The soldier is but a citi
zen eniployed• in the military service—not in the
civil., The duty of. the soldier is to support—not
- .to overthrow or controlthielill authority. HEMS
to establish the civil authority where At, has been
' overborne by revolt—not to overrule or usurp civil
authbrity. -•
If, therefore, any military officer shall show him-
Self so regardless of duty as to assume to direct or
control the officers of election, you should treat such •
orders with indignant contempt, and scorn obe •
dience, which implies perjury and cowardice in yoa.
- if military force is brought to. menace the officers'.
of election or voters, your duty is clearly marked
out by law. The law is as binding upon the soldier
as upon any other citizen. He latus no more-right to
..violate it, and le as, exirenlq,.,to_ks nenalties. • AB
-- nofefilier-CifenyrankrfroWthe ,, Presisleritkiewri, - thria •
any right; or authority, to interfere with election!!,
no ordertd do :Ed. can legalize the act.' If there be
shfficient4olver in the citizens present at any place
where such Interference may be attempted to arrest
the offenders, and hold them overt!, answer to tie
violated: laws, it will:be the duty of the sheriff to
make the arrest in such case. He has authority to
require the aid of every citizen, and it should• be
readily and:promptly g:iven in defence" of a common
right—of a blood-bought franchise. If the force em.,
ployed to interfere with the election be too great,
at any place of voting, to be arrested, the officers of
election in such 'case should adjourn, and not pro
ceed with , the election. If you are unable to hold a
free election your duty is to hold none at all, but ed
it:a-ire and report the offenders to the grand jury of
your county for indictment and punishment. This
is the lawful mode of meeting unlawful attempts to
disturb the freedom of elections.
The laws regulating elections prescribe all the
Indeed the officers and all the qualifications and
:lest alike - voter. Observe those, rules and none
other. - Nene other are'of authority or binding.
To the citizens I will add,. it-is your. duty, each
and all,to stand togetherin maintainingand defend
ing this right, sacred to free goverrimexiti Wherieier'
and wheresoever, and by whomsoever aasailed.: - .No
matter how widely you may differ , inxiews ofpolicy
or choice of candidates, you havoka common and in
dividual interest - in maintaining and defendingg for
all and for each the freedom of elections.. Divide
..tas.you please in your choice of= oandidatee—thin:
is your right—but Stand together 'to the-,utmost
extremity in maintaining and defending this right,-
otoirmon.to all, the security of all and. the privi
le_ge of each. I trust there may not be , any, such
•,efforta to interferewith the elections as many appre
hend; but . 'know. that the, people have the, power
to havo'afreCelection if they have the Will, and
will stand together in defence of their right.' :The::

The Financial Crisis - in England.
LARGE NUMBER OF HEAVY FAILLTRISS ANNOITHCBD.
By the latest European advises, we learn that
the commercial depression is very great, and that.
the additional 'failures reported include twenty
Liverpool' Rims interested in the American trade.
The Liverpool Courier of October 14 says :
The affairs of Messrs-. Thomson Zr. Oldfleld r bro•
kers, haye been adjusted In a manner highly credi
table to the firm. It was agreed that -the firm
should go on with new books, under the expectation
that, by an extension of time to parties indebted to they will, be able to meet all their present
engagements in full, and have a surplus in hand.
Under these cireunastimices the firm is reinstated in
commercial credit.
The suspension has-beeri - tuiribunced of Messrs.
liime,lnes, & C 0.,. brokers, whose liabilities are
variously estimited, the highest computation being
£150.000, and thelowest £40,000. 'The losses have
chiefly arisen on sugar and cotton.
The liquidation • of Messrs. Elijah Price & Co.
whose failure took place some days ago, is expeCted ,
to be unfavorable.
We announced on Thursday the stoppage of 'Nr.
