WASHECOTON Aug.r27.—On Thurs
day, the 25th, Gen. Hancock, who was
south of Ream's Station, was attacked
,
several times during the day, but he re
pulsed the enemy at every assault. At
half past 6 p. m. a combined eau& was
made on 'his centre and l';left,- , which after
one of the most desperate battles of the'
war, resulted in the enemy withdrawing
from the ; field, leaving their dead and
woundd on the grouud. Our loss, in
cluding eaval'ry, will not perhaps exceed
twelve or, fifteen — hundred, though this is
a 'surmise, as the combined is not yet
organized. Capt. Brownson,of liancock's
staff, was mortally wounded, dying'during
the night. Col. Walker, Assistant Ad
jutant General, is missing.
This is acknowledged to have been one'
of the most determined and desperate
fights . IDf the war, resembling Spoitsylva
lima in its character, though the number
engag d gives less importance to it. This
shows how severely, th9y were plaished,l ,

TLe Seven-ThPritle.J I*lliat. arc
We trust that a large portion of our
readers have pondered the appeal of Mr
Fessenden, our now Secretary of the Trea
sury: The purport of it is that the Pee's
pie of the United States, acting as a bepy
!throgli their agent the Government, wish
individuals to lend them two laindred mil
(ions` of dollars for three years; at seven
and three tenths per cent. anual interest,
payable every six months. For this they
offer Treasury Notes--that is in reality,
notes drawn and endosed by every man in
the country. The loan is wanted for a
great national purpose, to effeot which
every man unless he - ue a traitor at heart
if not in act, is.solemly pledged.
The Appeal is addressed not merely to a
few great, capitalists, but also to the many
whose aggregate rueanes conStitutc the!
wealth of -the land. The notes upon i
whlch this loan is asked arelrem 650 up- I
ward. Every man who has fifty dollars
can take part id this loan. Apart from
patriotism and tho duty which all owe to
their country, no investment is so desire
able as this.
It is secures. Every dollar of every
property is pledged for the punctual pay
ment of the interest, and of the debt when
due. The scdurity is increasing in value.
For smile 'years before the war we were
earning 1(500 millions a year more, than
we spent. During the three years of the
war,owing to the high prices and constant
dytuond for labor, we have earned inure
than ever before. No man Who could or
would work has been idle and, ecept for
the war, we have spent less than before.
The total valuation of the property of
the Unitedt States according to the een-,
j sus of 1560 was $10,159,000,000, of j
which $.10,957,448,‘ . .)56 was in the Loyal
Sates. This valuation according, to the
usual rule'of assessjoebt. was not more t
than two thirds of the actual cash value ofl
the property. The increase .of property
in the Loyal States during - the last ten
years fas over 126 per Cent or an average!
of 12 6 10 periecnt. per annuul. In three
rears of the war we of ,the United States!
_ _.cites in a
six per cant. gold interest bond, the prin
ciple payable, in not less than five nor
more than twenty years from its date as
the Government may elect. For six,
months past, these bonds have ranged at
an average premium of • abbut eight par
cent: in the New York markets, and have

even greater, Congress by a special act!
exempts its Treasury notes from state and I

of Hon. Jas. Armstrong, Gen. Fleming

School Houses.—there has been, three
school houses erected hi the county dur
ing the past year; t*o in Sharon and one
in Sylvania. These I houses are plain .but
suNtantiii buildings; and were the' prop
erly ventilated, yarded and surrounded
by shade trees, would be ornaments
their . respective localities. The ,Sehool'
hoUses, I think, will compose favol'obly!
with those of any section of the Statei
where the resources are no greater. There
is a lack of interest however in thg coun
ty in providing ant-buildings, and in
some instances shade trees and s'oitable'
yards for the benefit of the pupils.: Iu
some places the cattle are allowed to yard
around the houses, thercby
ous inconvenience to the Schools. !,There
aro ten houses in the county entirel;7 un-'
tit for school purposes; but these 'ore, in
most cases to be replaced by new ones.

paratively little expense, be a great im

Blackboards, though sonic are diminu
tive; but there .lils not been sufficient
discrimination used, in the selection of
maps, charts, &c. The maps 'puicbased
two years ago are not adapted for instruc

referred to by the leachers. Apparatus

°G aria Smith,iu the following par
agraph from a recent letter of his, hits the
nail on the head. If President Lincoln
had paid less heed to the Berder State
men and PeaceDentomats, he would have
avoided tunny, mistalics, the war would
have progressed raster, and the nation
I would have been in every way the gainer.l
Of course it is retributive justice that now
brings these Border State men and Peace
Democrats bowling at his heels, accusing
him of the very Mistal;es into which his
attempts to conci4atc,them have led him :
•"Mr. Lincoln, although an able,honest,
patriotic man, ha.-fallen into grave errors.
But who, in his.Pbrplexing circumstance,
would have been 'eaeropt'from them ? He
has depended tool largely on the polity of
conciliation. Ho has made too 'much ac
count of pleasing Border States and Peace
Democrats. But in all this he has Sought
not his own advabtage, b'ut the safety of
his country froM the harm' With which
Border States

threatened her."

ABUSE . OF TEE .I.'I4:DENT. --The
abuse heaped Upon President Lincoln be
those opposing. hiin is noinew thing.--
Every President fin WasAingtou on
down has beeu more. or Hess subjected,
to . a scathing fire of ruisreMesentation - and 1
abuse from political opponents. Eien '
George 'Washington. wasthus treafed,
'thus abused by the` traitiira of his day.
They called him "Bar," oiirch deceiver,"
"fool," "tyrant," and "cloWin." . His Hies-.
sages were denounced as "awkward per
formances, disgraceful for a child," and
some went so far as to dcellire they "man
ifested a spirit' 61 absoletistn."--They
went even farther—caiumipated him as a
man, a citizen, and a stcre.'slacen. But
posterity has done him jmitice.
As with Washington "so with most of
1 his successors. They passed through
the ordeal of slanderous abuse. It is es
pecially so wi,ll A hrahamiLincoln.. Ills
