The details of the moven - Iva of the Fifth corps of General Grant's army to the Weldon Railroad aft; glwen in the letters e,f our correspondents. The op erations were conducted in a masterly wanner, and re tilted in deceiving the enemy with respect to General Grant's real intentions. As soon, however, as the rebels discovered the motives of the movement they threw columns of troops in that quarter which came near 0,17(r -yawering the Filth corps and its sup ports. The new position was intrench cd, hwever, and was held at last ac- ;onnts. A rumor that the Second and Tenth corps had been withdrawn to the south bank of the James river arose from the detachme]t of a single divis ion to relieve the . negroes who were engaged upon the engineering operations at Dutch gap. General Hancock ap p....ars to still hold his position at Dec BiAtolll ; but how long he will retain it will depend upon the , :iceess with whieh Grenenil Warron meets in holding his the extreme left. onEarly appearA to be moving up the Shenandoah valley in farce. No en gagement has yet taken place; but one eannot be delayed lone:, for General Sheridan cannot remain many days 6t_. icily passive. It appears to be the intention of the enemy to make another invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania, at.d the army of General Sheridan is the only harrier that is in the way. If an engagement is fOught it will probably be on the south side of the Potomac. It is possible, however, that Early ;nay evade a meeting with General Sheridan. find choose a field of battle in Maryland.' By the arrival of t'le steamship E. B. Souder, we have dates from New Or leans to the 11th inst , but no later ad vices from Mobile than those previous ly received by way of Cairo. The re port that Admiral Farragut had dc-' 'minded the unconditional surrender of Fort Morgan is confirmed, together svith the prompt refusal of the rebel commander to comply with the demand. All non-combatants had been ordered out of Mobile, and the people urged by the mayor to defend the city to the last extremity. It is stated that the at tack on the city was entirely unexpect bd by the rebels. The rebels are endeavoring to dis lodge the Fifth corps from its position on flip Weldon road. Several unsuc ul have been made to this end, and it it; probable that the corps is now so firmly intrenched as to be int pregnable to assault. The engage heats wbich have been fought on that line have demonstrated that the rebels feel the importance of regaining that road, and are willing to sacrifice almost anything to obtain their purpose. Its possession, however, is quite as valua ble to General Grant, and will material ly assist in his future operations. The right ming maintains its position on the north bank of the James, and, as the theater of war has been transferred to the south side of Petersburg, tuts not been molested. It i:;, however, •in no condition to immediately resume the offensive, should such a course be de sirable. From the Upper Potomac we learn that the rebels have taken a position whence an invasion of Maryland. can be made, provided General Sheridan's forces fail to prevent it. The inhabit ants on the border are almost panic stricken, and the most ridiculous rn• mors prevail respecting the movements of Early. It is probable that he is wait ing to get all his reinforcements up be fore attemptiti4 to `tress the river, as, unless in strong force, he might be de feated. General Aveiell holds the river folds, and is keeping a watchful eye on the movements of the rebel raiding parties. Early may yet elude his vigilence, as has been done before. General Sheri dan has been reinforced by the balance of the Nineteenth army corps from New Orleans. The detachment numbers six thousand. An engagement took place near Char lestown on the 31st, in which our forces appear to have met with a defeat suffi cient to cause them to fall back to Hall town. The rebels are now in full pos session of Martinsburg. General Sherman's communications with the North are again opened, and Wheeler's raid has caused but little damage. The Union army is still oper ating toward the Macon road, with dif ferent success. Admiral Farragut was to awake the attack on Mobile on the 1 1 th. Late rebel news announces that there is a Union force moving from Pensacola to ward Mobile, and the probabilities are that Admiral Farragnt has timed his attack upon Mobile so as to accord with the movements of these troops. • We have advices from Vera Cruz to August 5 and direct from the City of Mexico to July 29. At the capital trade was reviving, and everything ap peared favorably to the firm establish ment of the new government, which was not a little aided by the unexpected adhesion of Uraga to Maximilian Public works are constructing, the ar my has been reorganized, and a portion of the French were expecting to soon leave for France. The church party is said to-be uneasy lest. Maximilian should ratify Juarez'a decree of confiscation. and refuse to restore the property which he took from it. 'Reports ti - om the country indicate the gradual. disbanding of the scattered Mexican forces, and a growing disposition to acquiesce in the new order of things. Battle on the Weldon Railroad.--Full Partioulam of the Affair. ILADQ . I:S AI:MY or Porom. c, Aug. 21.—This morning the enemy made a vigorous attack on the sth corps, on the left of the Weldon Railroad, at the same place where they were partially success fa! on Friday, but to.day they met with a different reception. Our line was formed about the same time as it was on that day, the Ist division bearing on the extreme left, connecting witk caval ry which covered the railroad towards Ream's station, 2nd division was next, Cutler's 4th was across the Railroad, And the 3d division on the right, joining with the 9th corps, which connected the right with the left, near Jerusalem plank road During Saturday our men had strengthened the breastwork which they had temporarily erected, be sides throwing up others. Early this morning very heavy cannonading was okkenef by the enemy frOm works inrtb er down towards Petersburg, and our guns replied very briskly, neither par ty however doing particular damage.— About 7 a. m., a force of the enemy was seen moving as if to make an attack on the 9th corps, but a few well direct ed shells sent them cut of sight Short ly after a column of rebels emerged from the woods on the left of the railroad. and forming in line they charged on what they thought was our left flank, but which proved to be the left of Gcn. Aver's front. The rebels advanced in tine style and with the utmost confidence, evidently thinking the work before them easy; but what was their surprise on discovering a second line behind, mid extending to the left of the Ist. from which a row of bayonets glistened, with a battery on the left, and one on the right, pouring a fire into their ranks, every discharge causing Jai ge vacancies in their line As soon as they discover ed the critical position in which they were placed, the entire command made signs to indicate their willingness to surrender, and the order to cease firing was passed along the breastworks, but as soon as they discovered this, a large portion of them broke and started fer the woods, the remainder coming on and surrendering. Our batteries sent several messengers after the remaining party, many of whom fel The troops who made the charge consisted of the rebel divisions of Hoke and Bushrod Johnson, of Gen. Hill's corps, and were principally South Carolinians and Mis sissippians. Among the prisoners are 1 Colonel, 3 Lt. Colonels, and 37 Cap tains aild Lieutenants. Oar loss in kill ed and wounded is about 150, while nearly 100 were taken prisoners on skirmish line. The reiliel loss is believ ed to be at least 500 or GUI) killed and wounded. The number of rebel priso ners taken is about 375, besides 25 wounded, who are in hospitals. Gen. 11adrood tho umn and shot Capt. Daily of Gen. Cut ler's staff Gen. Hagood was seen to fall from his horse, and is believed to be killed. His body lies between the lines, and is covered by sharpshooters. Prisoners also report him killed. We took five sets of colors and some say more. The 3d Delaware took two, and the 76th N. Y., one. Three of the Icolors are entirely new and the others are much dilapidated. In the fight of Friday, our loss in prisoners is believed to be larger than heretofore reported. The 90th Pa., was more than half taken, as was the case in fact with every regiment in the brigade. The 10-Ith N. Y., lost every officer on the field, and can muster but compara tively few men for duty. Had these troops held their position, or changed! their front as some did, they could nearly' all have saved themselVes and given the enemy a thrashing, but being told they were flanked, they started for the rear land fell into the hands of the rebels.— , Col.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 23.—The following is published in the American of this morning,. the substance of which the cesnor would not pl. In it transmission over the wires last Ili : HARPS R'S FFanY, Aug: 22.—A brisk engagement occurred yesterday, two miles beyond Charlestown, between the Army of Western Virginia and the reb el force now in the Shenadoah Valley. The battle commenced at 8 o'clock a. m., by heavy columns of of rebel infan try and cavalry attempting to force our front near Summit Point, and after a sharp but decisive struggle our skirmish ers were compelled to give way. The First division, General Wilson's, and General Torbntt's cavalry corps, were engaged and suffered heavily. The movement had evidently for its object the possession of Martinsburg, for at the same time a false movement was made against our extreme left, but suddenly.'the whole rebel force appear ed in front of our right, consisting of the 6th, Bth and 19th Corps. A short but determined battle took place. The Second division lost heavily— some three hundred wounded and sixty or seventy killed and missing - . Our right drove the enemy several miles, and then fell back to their old line un til 10 o'clock, when the entire army re tired towards Milltown, ‘vitere they are now in line of battle. 'Rumors are afloat that the rebels are crossing the Potomac at Martinsburg. Certain it is, the rebels have possession of .Martinsburg. Operations Before Petersburg • NEw YoRK, August 25.—A World's special dated in the field before Peters burg. the 23d, says: Warren pushed a reconnoissance towards Petersburg yes terday, and fOund the enemy had retired from his immediate front. Taking ad , vantage of this, Warren advanced his 'lines much nearer the city than the left has yet been, when our lines were ex tended towards the railroad. Our line crosses the road as heretofore. The rebels have probably fallen back to their regular line of works, or may be they arc maneuvering for a flank attack.— Large numbers of deserters come in and say that Lee has expressed his determi nation to retakd this road if it costs him every man he has. - Many relq , l officers in the hospitals corroborate the report that there are but six day's rations in Petersburg. When thew arc consumed, the Impplies held at Richmond will be brought into requisition, providing the Danville road proves insufficient as the means for transporting supplies from southern districts. Rebel News from Petersburg. NEW YORK, August 23.—The Rich mond Examiner of the 22d, has the fol lowing: Petersburg, August 20-10 a. in.—Ltent. Gen. A. P.

The enemy were driven uuvut three fourths of a mile in front, and back about two miles on the flank. Twenty-two prisoners, including nine commissioned officers, were captured, Night ended the fight, which was a very considerable affair. The fight has not been resumed thus fir to-day. The en emy still holds possession of the Weldon Railroad. Our losses were not very heavy. General Clingman was wound ed, and Major Lawson killed.

The" are erect ing strong works similar to hose we en countered on our arrival here. The reb els work night and day, evidently ex pecting an attack. The Richmond papers acknowledge a heavy loss in officers and men on Sun day, but claim that they took 4,000 pris oners. Our losses in the sth Corps are 17 officers and 132 men killed, 74 officers and 784 men wounded, 99 officers and 2,553 men missing. The 9th Corps lost about 300, which makes the total loss 4,255 in these movements. No doubt many will yet turn up. Crawford's Division sustained the great est proportion, he having lost about 2,- 000, mostly prisoners. Horrible Child Murder Great excitement has been caused iu Paterson :Si'. J. by the horrid murder of a small child by two other children! under the following circumstances. A little daughter of Mr. Hurlburt, acted two years, who was playing on the walk in front of his house, suddenly dis appeared on Monday afternoon. Al mother, the services of a bell-man were procured, but two day's search still fail ed to find the missing child. On Wel nesday night, however, word was re ceived that the lost child had been I found in a well, an investigation reveal ed the terrible fact that it had been lur ed away by two little beggar girls, named Long, aged respectively nine and twelve years, stripped of its pretty dress, and then thrown into the well. The juvenile murderers confess the crime, and say that they brought the child to the house of their parents with no oth er covering than a shawl, and that the oldest girl, Emma Jane, threw it into the well. After committing the deed they ran into the house, but shortly al it er ward returned to the well, and look ed into it. At that time the child was still alive, and its struggles were plainly ' perceptible_ The child cried bitterly when thrown in. The • water in the well was only from three to five feet in depth, and when the child was found its side was visible and floating out of the water, its little legs, head and hands dangling do sn. ' The Mother of the little murderers has Nen in jell for sometime. On Wednesday afte'rnoon'she was liberated, her time having ezpired. Upon reach ing home, her daughter, devoid of that discretion which, if she live, may her more mature years, told her that there was a baby in the well.

NEW oiu August 27.—A Wash- ington special to the Times, dated at City Point, says : About four o'clock an Thursday morning the enemy in front of Butler's right wing made a sortie, and were repulsed. We took about sixty prisoners, including two officers.
