the Appomattox are tr0nger aud more Impor

the enemy while bo continues to wear him out
by waiting and harassing him. The teported

for it it by no meant at all probable that Grant
made the Ohio senator or anybody elro, tho
confident of hit plans. The drouth it a prolm

have been loth to believo that thero was any

our dispatchee, that such a party bus existed,
that icorot plana have been concocted, anil w e

ing voloano that wat gathering its secret lirue
to hurl ua to destruction. The fire-sides of our
loyal people have been com passed round by
eeeret foet hitting (orpents have been hidden
beneath our hearth-stones, waiting for their
"great oommaudera" to call them forth men
whose souls were steeped in treason Imve
claimed the protection of onr laws, prated
about the Constitution, and, with the air ol
hypocrite, cried " Peace!" while the foulcat
murder wat rankling ia their hearts, and the
tecrct dagger resting beneath their olonke
thirsting for tho life-blood of ita victim. The
plots of Catiline havo been re-enacted on the
most stupendous scale the world has ever wit
nessed. The dnrk lantern has been used.
Seoret conclave! have been held. Fienda in
human form have met at midnight, iu dingy
and dim-lighted halls, whoto hearts were filled
with hellish purposes, whose eoult were gloat
ing over the bloody carnival they taw approach
ing. But thoto infernal schemes have been
discovered, and, it it hoped, frustrated. Like
the rebels that plotted ruin in Heaven, they
have overrated both their strength and their
prowess. The watchful eye of- sleepless vigi
lance hat been upon them ; their darken dens
have been unoovored ; their most seceet plots
laid bare, and they stand befuro tho country,
whoso destruction they have plotted, markod
for the punishment they to richly merit. Ooe
of their organt in this State announces with a
tneer that the discovery of this plot "has been
made the pretentc for tho arrest of a number
of PROttlitENT citizen." Thie eneer is per
hatpt intended to cover tin the chagrin and dis
appointment that orgau feels because those
hull-born schemes were not successful. Prom
inent citizent ! Catalino wna a prominent citi
xeti of Rome ; Arnold hub a prominent officer
iu tho American army ; Vallundigham was a
romtnttl leader in tho "doinoeratio'' party j
the Arena would like to be to be the prominent
organ of the copporhoads. Jt now nppeurt
that Vallandigham is prominent in the mid
night assassin order, und wo suppose his organs
in Oregon will bo about us prominent in defen
ding him as the puppy that sueuka behind and
barks while the dog is buying ut the game.
The gallowt on which Human was hung wns
lint half ns high as these prominent villains
deserve. They should hu hung so high that
the world could aec them pay the debt of their
infamy, and thoae who love liberty in every
land oould laugh at their calamity, ami mock
when their fear came. For three years their
schemes have been maturing, yet when Union
. men have raiaed the alarm, and culled nn the
people to be vigilant, they have laughed to
eoorn, and attempted to keep down apprehen
sion by denying tho existence of secret treason
able ordort. They have denounced the Union
Leagues, and preached against secret political
orders, while their lips were yet warm with the
aecret oaths they had taken to destroy their
country's peaoe Ther have ehed orooi'dilo
tears over Ihu graves of fallen patriots, and
whined aud whimpered about tho widows ar.d
orphans the war has made, wbilo they wero
preparing in secret the torch of tho incendiary,
thirsting lor the blood of peaceful citizens, and
maturing schemes that were to inaugurate n
bloody reign of anarchy and contusion. Aud
we would lay to Union uieu in Ihit part o lour
country, that, while we do not npprehend seri
ne danger, it ia proper that wo be watchful,
for tome of these bunded tcbcuicm are at our
very dourt.
I'LTIMATK mxm CERT1IX.
Wo frequently hear expreraium or disap
pointment from Union tueu, aud words of ex
ultation from copperheads, on account of the
apparently slow and indecisive mnrient f
the Federal armies. In riippreesiug this re
bellion, it it doubtless true that we do not duly
appreciate tho magnitude of the work to be
done, or the difficulties lu the way. We are
' from Labit inclined to he impatient. To be iu
hot huste to havo things done in a hurry lu
become rich or powerful or famous iu a day,
are characteristic aspirations of our people. It
it comparatively easy to perform a brilliant ex
ploitto make a reckless dash or u destructive
raid hut the permanent auvauuottieut of the
Union cause, through the operations of war,
must ho the result of slow aud steady steps.
Invariable suuoest cannot be reasonably ex
pected. War ia uecessa'ily full of vicissitude.
Temporary reversei may occur, w ithout any
permanent or serious injnry to tho right cause.
To determine at to the true condition of things,
it it not proper to decide upon the fate of a
single battle, the result of a tingle campaign,
r.r the actlou of one army, but upon a survey
of the whole field, aud all that hut been done
aud accomplished.
Are not our prospects for putting down this
rebellion a good a were the prospect our fa
titer bad of achieving Iudepondvui'CuA the
eu4 of the first three ytaifc of tho Revolution I
There were timet in that war when every rea
suitable chauce of success seemed to be gone,
when thick cloud and darkness enveloped the
patriot cause, but, confident in the early tri
umph of the right, our father fought on, and
fiually came out vtolorion. They conquered,
because they were not disheartened by defeat
or adversity, aud because they were determined
to achieve success. Inflexible resolution will
overcoat all obstacles. Like faith, it will re
move mountaina. It will put down thia rchell
ion, though fearful accidents may befall the
prosecution of the war. We must he like the
Roman Brutus, " terrible in constant resolu
tion." We have the ineuui to tnccced in this
war, if we duly apply them. If the fortunes
of battle merely remain even, we will ulti
mately conquer by weariug out tho insurgcut.
If we are firm aud Heady, time aloue will du
the work. "The mill of the god grind slow,
hut Ironr." Great event are transpiring
We are actiug history. Let u bo patient a
well at lealoue, oling ng to our causo with an
unfaltering belief that the eternal principle of
right will be maintained with glorious triumph

THE lMl'OKTKU V DTK 118 INTO 1'ULK,
Tho lust number of la Arena contains an
article of a column mid a half upon this aulijeot.
Without noticing the considerable part of the
arlielo whieh it not exactly relevant lo tin
point" in issue, or llm insinuations which are not
tangible enough to merit denial, wo proceed to
reply to sueh allegation us seem to demand it.
Tho week previous the same paper made two
charger, ono of which was :
" Yet, all this time, members ol the party of
the Statnman Wero guilty of Importing votes
into Polk county, t Wo believe
and are prepared to prove, that about the sauiu
mm-, nimury piirues 111 nils umu weiu i-ngi.gL-u
in the samo dirty business of employing persuu
to go Into I'olk county to voto the Union ticket."
Referring to our rejoinder to the article of
which the nliovu Is an extract, it now say t
1 That declaration contain a grave ohargc.
It i intended lo be emphatic, without any
iiiivooation whatever : and vet the Sttiteiman
has passed it over in silence, has not denied it,
H ill uot deny it, darei uot deny It.'
Now what are tho facts! Our last article
did not, it i true, deny this charge with all the
nioe particularity which is necessary In an an
swer to a legal complaint, but it whole tenor
and spirit was such that no person who read it
with candid desire to ascertain our meaning,
could have mistaken our intent to 'dispute the
assertion. We should probably have been
more explicit, had we not previously. In the
Mateman, several timet poiitively denied the
same bhargo. We had, indeed, ulluded to the
matter to often that the Arena onmpjained that
wo "poured out" our denunciation "with
marvelous profusion." It could not have failed
to know that we had repeatedly laid that no
men were imported into Polk to voto the Uuion
ticket. With what fairness then can it now
say that the Stateinan " hat not denied it, will
not deny it, darei not deny it" J
The other charge wat that :
" We believe it In lie true, literally trne
and the evidence will lie forthcoming if neces
sary that parties connected with the editorial
department of the Slutetman, wero cognizant
ol and wero uot discouraging such Importation."
This w as n new slander, one that had never
been uttered before. We Were therefore more
particular to be explicit in asserting its falsity
Now our candid neighbor say this is not a pus.
itive charge, but a inero assertion of t belief.
We nre not nioe enough to eu the difference
Iu the one case it ' believes " and " it prepar
ed to prove." i Thi it a "charge." In tin
other case it " believe " und " the evidence
will he forthcoming." Tint is not a " charge.'
If this is not mere pettifogging, by what rule is
the discrimination mudu I
The Arena admits that " Democrat " were
engaged in tho importations. The controversy
now appears, therefore, to have narrowed down
to two question. First, whether the Demo
emtio party is justly responsible for these
frauds? and eecond whether or Not any Union
men were engaged in similar ones ? To the
first we shall nut now refer. To thu second we
trust that our denial is now sufficiently explicit
to satisly eveu thu cautious Arena.
If our cot.nnpurnry is ns earnest at it pre
tends, in it desire to expose all who have been
engaged in Ih't " dirty, damnable business,"
why due it not accept our offer of publishing
the names of " all the imported ttock " with the
evidence T We made that proposition two
mouths ago. in a spirit of fairness, with no other
desire than loget the truth and the whole truth
before the public. Wo cannot perceive any
reason why it should have been declined by the
democratic papers unless they desired to shield
their friends from just obloquy. We have no
such desire, nnd we assure the Arena that if it
can, as it asserts, fix upon any Union men by
fair evidence, complicity in importing vote to
Polk or any other couuty, we shall take good
care that the reader of tho Stateiman know
who thu individuals are, it matter not what
paper or what department they limy be con
nected with.
THE I'MON PARTY.
When the Baltimore Convention assembled Dr.
Bieekriilge of Kentucky was chosen temporary
Chairman, and upon taking his seat delivered an
excellent and patriotic address, in the course of
hlrh ho said : .
"As a Union nartv I will follow vnu to the ends
of the earth and lo the gates of death, (applause)
out as an aooinron party, as a republican party,
as a whig parly, as a democratic party, as an
American party will not follow you one foot."
Ex-Governor Denuison of Ohio, upon assuming
the Chair as permanent President of the Conven
tion, among other things, said :
"In no souse do wo m.-et as members or repre
sMiiatives of either of the old political parties
which bound thu peoplo, or aa lbs champions of
any principal or doctrine peculiar to eilher."
These sentiments were applauded hy the Con
veatiou and show that it is every where under
luod that (here are but two political parties at
this time In this country. Ono a Union aud the
other a Secession or Copperhead party.
Oid political issue aud parly oiganixations
have censed lo exist, the war has produced new
Questions, aud it is in reference to these questions
that partica are now organised and acting. It
has been claimed by some that old party distinc
tions and appellation are kept up in the States,
but the proceedings of the Baltimore Convention
(how that this is not true so far as the Union men
of the country ara concerned. The copperheads
are trying, it i U uo, to cover up their complicity
with treason by claiming iho name of Democracy
hut thoso who are for the Union ignore aH party
antecedents aud party names and recognize all as
members of the Lnion parlv who stand squarely
aud fairly upon the platform and support the
nominees of, the Baltimore Convention. Thia is
the wist; policy that has been adopted by president
Lincoln, and Una Is the position taken by the rep
resentativea of the Union party in the lale Na
tional Convention. The Government has a great
burden to bear in tho prosecution of this war.
The Government depouds for its strength and
power upon the popular support. No dead issues
or questions should be brought forward to distract
the Union force, but leaving "the dead past to
bury Its dead," all who are for the Union should
stand together aud earnestly strive to lay aside
all considerations of an incidental nature that
might lend lo divide and weaken them. There U
little difficulty at this lima lu telling the difference
between a Union man and a Copperhead. That
decision is not to ba made by what a man ha or
ha not been, but by what he 1 at thi time. Few
men fail now to Indicate on which side of the
struggle In the country their sympathies are, aud
if their sympathies are with the Union cause, their
words and acta will be decided and fervid In favor
of all expedient consistent with lb dictates of
humanity for the suppression of Ihit wicked re
bellion. Copperheads show Iheir feeling in dif
ferent ways, and crafty at tome of thrm try to he
in concealing their real views, their "murder will
out."
It should be the policy of all Uuion men to
build up and strengthen the Union organisation.
Every effort lo create discord In the Union party
for SflBi or personal tndt should b diacounte
aanred, and all true men should and will try to
niaks tht Union party predominant and powerful
tnoogh to carry tht country through It pratent
terrible ordeal to a oomplelt victory ovsr rebellion
and disunion.

Eu. Statkhmam :(Sinco my last letter I hav
climbed Gold Mountain four several times, and
one thunder slonn Ins occurred, fbfl latter elr
ruinat'anrn without inuisltirc, tho former with a
plenty of it. Siviral'snsatiuii hav'u "also 'oc
curred, but 1 am hmniv to say, without fatal re-
suits. As usually hippens in new mining camps,
somebody is Btrikisg something almost every
day. Tho Mexicans, of whom I spoke bofure,
have returned from tlioir prospecting tour; having
disoevcrnd silver lodes which they pronounce
burno. They are situated several miles north of
hero on a branch of Canal Fork. Meantime, Capt.
Ivoclcr, assisted and instigated thereto by several
respectable gentlemen of the mining persuasion,
and a lunatic doctor (I don't mean the Doctor wa
a lunatic,,) went on to a mount and discovered a
bran new lead, which, In honor of tho Captaiu'
name, wa called the "Koeler lode." It pan out
a beautiful prospoct. Before it was twenty-four
hours old it was claimed ss far north as Whidby's
Island, aud south to the oud of time. The owners
are almost without exception, captains, doctors,
judges, minister and luminaries, and It is pro
posed to incorporate on a high-toned grade, with
out rogard to expense. Long may they wave.
Quartzvllle has been In something of a ferment
to-day iu conicqmce of the arrival of a couple of
gentlemen from California, who are looking around
for chancel. It is understood to-night that they
are well enough satisfied with the appearance of
things, to brlngjin aqunrtz-uiill for doing custom
work, a soon as Ihoy hare any reasonable assur
ance of a road or roads from the main body of
lodes -to tho month of Canal Fork, which place
they think tho most t: Vorable location for a mill.
The distance from Gold Hill is four miles; from
Quart Mountain, a little further i from Happy
Camp, from three to five miles. There are splcnd
id water powers on Canal Fork. Water is scarce
at Quartzvllle, the entire town at present being
supplied from a single spring. From six to ten
inches can be brought in during the dry .si season
from a gulch, which puts in a little more than a
quarter of a mile above, the water of which sinks
before it gots this far. It must bo brought In a
flume. At the opposite or southern base ot Hold
Hill tho South Fork of Santiam divide this dis-
iriel from Hiinnv Camp. It is a fine stream, and
barring the risk of Hoods, would furnish any num
hnr nf water oowcrs.
The road coinqi'usioners, sent up by tho Union,
Santiam, and Oregon companies, have not yot ro
turned from the Meadows trail, and I regret that,
therefpro, I am unable to chronicle any of their
wanderings aim nuuings.
I sue bv a late coov of the Slataman that gold
visible to the naked oye, has been found in the
Eureka tunnel. The man who "has been at work
iu the tunnel came to his prin.al knowledge of that
gratifying fact from your statement. They have,
owever, found tirst-rato silver indications, and
that is what they are mining for. Such state
ments as tho one in question, (which I suppose
wns imposed upon you J may serve to sell a few
little strips of paper, but in the end do nobody any
irood. The Eureka is believed, by good judges,
to be a good thing, but not for "gold, visible to
the nuked eye."
A remarkable phenomenon exists here the
larcest shareholders In any given claim invaria
bly find more gold lu tho rock than tho smaller
ones, ine balance or ceniucaies enauges nana.,
and presto, the gift of Bccinggold with the naked
eve from which our uhilosopher-mun concludes
that mining stocks are a blessing in the way ot
"helps to see." But specimens are taken out of
tho Bull and the Unit, in wnictiany man wttu nary
a stock, can see the gold.
There are more men at work in the mines than
nt nnv former time. The Union. Santiam, Oregon,
and Lone Star companies, and several individuals
are making thorough prospects on Gold Hill. The
Eureka Silver mining Co., and the Pacific Copper
mining Co. havo woi king parlies in Happy Camp
district. . It is understood hero that some valuable,
bard work shall be necessary to hold claims i and
many who have hitherto been merely waiting for
tho mountain to come to mem, nave mteiy conciuu
ed to go to the mountain. There is considerable
inouirvfor bauds to work: wages, about two dol
lars and grub, or tbrco dollars without grub
that is to sav the miller grubs himselt. A biacK-
smith ia much wanted, also, several families with
grown up girls, or something of that sort, to put
society in good shapa. There is but one woman
here, and thuugh she Is a very estimable ono, it
can't be expected she can constitute an entire
sewing society. It's impossible. Neither is it
possible to say all my say in one short letter, and,
as you probably want to go to press, and I cer
tainly want to go to bed, this epistle ends rignt
here, with an afluctinnate urfroi.
As I said before, Yours respectfully,

The following notice of this gentleman we
copy from tho Washington cnrrespondeiico ol
the Sauriiiiiento Union. The date of the cor-
respondenrp Is July 7th :
A Dvsi'.uvsn CoMn.iMt.ST. The YVntliinglon
Ckranirlr of this morning contained tho following
well deserved imlieo of the ltepresentative t- the
present Cooftress from Oregon :
"Oregon, thu most disliuit Hiale of onr great repub
lic, has oleeteil the only Ueprasentalive lo llm flurly
n nth Congress who is yet chosen, and it is a hopelul
oinea for the future that the member elected is a
shiiuieh supporter of the (lovernnieiit and of the
Union. Believing ns we do that a Urate tails to ac
quire ita legitimate influence ill the Niilioluil Legisla
ture bv a tVennent e inline ol its representation in I'on
gress, we would havo been glud lor the sake of onr
voting sister Mate on the insiiuii l aeiue u me nreseni
worthy member from Oregon, ,t It. Mellrlile, had
haun iiuaiii rutaruuil to Coimri'MS, though wu menu, of
course, no disparagement to the new iiiomber who is
n stranger here. Bat wo are glud to learn Irom our
l'aciliu exchanges that there ia u probability that Me
linite will ho elected to till the seat in the Senate to be
vacant on tile -Ith of March, IMS, by the expiration
of he term of U. F. Harding. Mcliridv is un able uud
thoroughly loyal man i his voice and vole arc always
on the side ol the Government, the Union, liberty and
the riiht IIh will, ir elected, be us ellleieiit (. Senator
us he has been faithful ns a legislator in the lower
brunch or Congress.
TEACHKIIS' INSTITUTE.
This association closed its session yesterday.
We were not permitted to be present during all
the session, but are pleased to chronicle the fact
that It wns nearer a success than any previous
one. A large number of teacher and others In
terested in the cause of popular education wero
present from different parts of the State, and all
were there evidently for the purpose of working
for a permanent establishment of this association,
and for the general interest of the educational
movement. All seemed to h alive to the fact
that, as a State, we are hardly up to the standard
of the age in systematic plans for the education
of the young, and that the time had come when
those interested in the matter should inaugurate
movements for the establishment of a more per
fect common school system. Not only teachers
of the common schools were present, but also
many Professors of the diiferent academies, and
members from the faculties of our first class insti
tutions.
Resolutions were passed aud measures set on
foot looking to a complete revision of our school
law during the coming session of the Legislature
and many other questions were brought out and
discussed which it is hoped will work wholesome
reform. . ,-
Of the evening lecture wo only beard one, that
of President Marsh, which was written and dt
livered in his usual pointed aud appropriate style.
hntire unanimity prevailed, although thero was
a considerable amount of good-natured and friend
ly discussion on nearly all the topics ibat were in
troduced.
Taken ultogolher It was a pleasant and, we trust
profitable gathering, nnd the people of Albany
are entitled to credit for the manner in which they
entertained the comers from a distuueo, and also
for their regular and general attendance nt all the
meetings of the association.
We shall publish a full roport of the proceedings
next week.
Things at Albany. In oar late trip to Al
bany ne saw several things worthy of note.
Among other things we saw a finely situated aud
pleasant town, containing many neat and laity
dwellings and a goodly number of friendly and
hospitable people. The town seems to lie rapidly
Improving, aa w e saw quite a number of dwellings
In process of erection, aud were informed that
the two saw mills situated there were unable to
supply tho demand for lumber. Tho most notable
improvement is the brick court house, whieh is
approaching completion. We do not hesitate to
say that we believe this, when finished, will b
the best building of the kind in the State. It is
built of brick, with cornico and roof finished in
good style, and will cost, we understand, over
twenty thousand dollar The only objectionable
feature in the town, vro think, is the narrowness
of the streets, nnd this difficulty will be more ap
parent as the population increases. On the whole
we think Albany is ns prosperous a place as one
could expect to find so near to Salem..
Tun Arf.na upon B. F. Wurrsos. The
Arena line twice said of the newly appointed
Commissioner of Enrollment, I hut, "for years
he hus been a republican amalgamaliouist and
Aboliliouist, and many an audience in Polk
county hat been disgusted with his oft repeated
deo'araiion that ho would as soon hi daughters
would marry negroes as white men !" Our owu
acquaintance with Mr. Whitsou is very reoeul
and slight. We havo, however, the assurance
of tome very respectable' citizent of Polk
neighbor of Mr. V that tho above ia a foul
slander, that he ha never advocated amalga
mation or made any such disgusting declara
tion a it asserted. Ho is an unti slavery man
and always bat been i a genllomuu very
competent fur tho place to which hu ha been
appointed, and hi character is far beyond the
reach of the malignant assaults nf the Arena.
It is also due to Mr. Whitson to eny that he
never sought the appointment, nor did any
friend of his, for him. It was conferred upon
him unsolicited nnd very nnVrpcctcdly.
Swinish. On going into a hotel at .Albany the
other day nnd calling for supper, we were sonic.
what, amused and considerably disgusted at hear-
ing the following conversation between a gentle
man and another specimen of humanity :
Gentleman : "What is the occasion of so many
people coming into town f"
The other Specimen : "0, 1 don't know, it a
lot of spouting school teacher, I believe, come
here to bum !"
Thi wa spoken with such an air of vulgar
contempt, that our sensibilities were somewhat
shucked, and we looked up to see if a "bomb" had
busied, but finally concluded that it wa (imply a
squash or a cabbage head. And we thought that
"specimen" ought to be examined by Professor
Agassi fur the purpose of testing hia right to be
classed with the t"" komo.
Appropriations pur Surveys. Congress
at itt Inst session appropriated 820,000 for sur
veying the pnblio hint! in Oregon, nnd a like
urn for Washington Territory, nnd provided in
each case that the Commissioner of the Laud
Office might iu hia discretion allow a utn uot
to exceed $2 per mile in addition to tho rate
fixed by law.
CF'Theroaro many complaint of attempt
to pas off hogut gtdd dust in the upper oountry.
The imitation appears perfect enough to de
ceive persona who ought to be good judge! of
the oro. No wonder, in an age when copper
headism can be palmed off for truo democracy,
we might expect any kind of iinpotitinn to he
successful.
C? The Virginia City Enterprite it opposed
to the organixalion of a Stnte government for
Nevada, on the ground that the country is too
podt to afford it. That's pretty heavy fur a
region where they take out silver bv tho wagon
load. t
Atfray Two men, named Wilson and
Millrr, gut into a fight at a douce house in Ida
ho City. Miller wa ttnbbed in the tide and
Wilton shot In the thigh and shoulder. There
are strong hope that both will die.
rr The Baltimore Convention appointed
Judge E. D. Shattuik member of the National
Union Committee, for On gon.
Ir The mining o.imp at Fl renco and
Warren are almost dcseited, bat the few who

The following additional dispatch relative to
he explosion of llm iniuo und tho assault ou
lie rebel work nf Petersburg, is given:
The tiring which then opened was kept up
without intermission lor an hour and a hull,
when it slackened somewhat. I h result ol
the explosion of the iniuo wns the nlmnst tnlnl
nniiihilntioit uf one rebel regiment ami the
burying of three guns. The !)th corns pushed
tlio udviiutnge thus gaineti ny u.iueuuee o,
assault, the advance taking possession uf the
winks through the gap made by the explosion,
driving tho enemy to the second line of works
winch crown tun lull-tops ensi in town, nine
teen or twenty of the rebels buried by the ex
plosion were ilng out ulive, but liadiv bruised.
The mino wa 400 feet luug, constructed with
two galleries diverging from the main passage,
limiting three chambers, in which a tram ui
powder IS inclif wide auu o ueop was nun.
The effect of the explosion was disastrous.
The euetuv'i artillerv feebly replied. Hut few
minutes elapsed heluro the rebel linea were
entirely shut out from view by ainoko, onr gun
ner being only guided in their work by having
obtained tile proper range before. Many shells
irom thu lotli oorps must linvu Htrucit tar into
tho street of Petersburg, for from that direc
tion heavy columns of black smoke arose toon
after tho firing began, which wa evidently
from the burning ol buildings.
After the rebel lines were pieroed. they made
a hurried movement hy the left, and suffered
greatly from oi:r ciililuiling (Ire.
Ledlie't division of the J 8th corps led tho
attack, the 1 1th N. Y, heavy - artillery having,
the advance. About 100 prisoner havo beeu
brought to linrnaide'a headquarters. The can
nonading is still very heavy, tho rebels holding
the positiou obstinately. Our infantry have
leceivcd order to advance iiiiineil:utely.
Bawimoiib, Aug. 1. A letter from For-
tress Mouroe any later advice from the front
show that we are unable to hold all tho ground
gained in tho assault on Saturday, it being
mostly commanded by an Inner line, und the
works taken by our troops wero recaptured.
We took GOO prisoners in tho ndtmult. The
loss ou both aides, from 4000 to 5' 101).

Nf.w York, August 1. Steamer City of

President Lincoln aud Gen. Grant were in

tlenien who spent yesterday with Grant report
him in good spirits, und criilident of ultimate

Cincinnati, August 2. A band of rebel
under Webster, made a raid into the southern
part of Kenton county, (Ohio.) yesterday, and
arrested the officers ot election ut two precincts,
and destroyed the poll-boolis. Genera; How
ard bus been relieved from command of the
20lh corps, at hia own request, aqd has gone
.Mirth, lien. 1 lav id L,. Stanley succeeds to
nowaru command.
Chicago, Julv 30. Wo condense tho fol
lowing from a dispatch sent from Baltimore at
midnight: "The restrictions on tho publication
of news nre removed, except an far us relative
lo movement of Federal troops. A Harper
Ferry telegram say there is nn invasion going
birward, but it is not nn invasion id .Maryland.
Harper' Ferry is once again the eene of ac
tive military operations. This much I can any
without imputling inloriiiatioti to the enemy,
for before this is published they will know that
before .Maryland can be invaded again the
question lo bo decided is, who ahull be master
of the Shenandoah Valley. The military au
thorities hare pushed forward their counter
movements against the schemes of the encinv,
nnd it is very doubtful whether anything seri
ous will occur, tiniest onr movements havo hcen
sufficiently rapid to surprise the rebels. As it
herelc fore hat been, probably it will be now.
If they deem it expedient to avoid battle,
there will lie a race for Staunton, or tome of the
gaps, in whiih the rebels have the advantage,
nth in start and distance. Ono point to lie
considered, and upon that niuy depend the
wnoie mnMer, Is tins: ll the crops ol the Shen
andoah Valley nre necessary to the rebel army,
they will stand light. It is undoubtedly a (net
that these crops have for a long time furnished,
lo a considerable exUnl, the su sistencc of the
niniy at Hichmnnd.
New York. July 30. There I no longer
any reason for keeping eoret the fact that
Grunt' last movement against Kichmond is ex
pected by himself und his friend, to resnlt in
something far more decisive limn anything vet
undertaken against the rebel capital. Senator
Wade of Ohio some three week inco paid a
visit to the Army of the Potomac. The Sena
tor wna feeling very blue at what he supposed
a failure of the campaign against liichinond.
Grant told him that the long delay before Pe
tersburg wa due tub ly to the drought, which
ren iered it impossible to move hi men and an
imal from where fresh water could be procur
ed. Grant told Wade that just aa toon a a
ufficictit quantity of rain fell to insure a sup
ply of water and Inv the intnlerunle dust iu the
road, he wonld make a movement which would
fully antisfy the expectations of the country.
It will he remembered that rain Imve fallen
in the vicinity of liichinond, and Grant, true
to hia promise In Wado, i now on the inarch
to the rebel cr.pi'nl, this time on the north bank
of the Jomes river. Notwithstanding the
witdrnwnl of the 6th corps, very large reinforce
ments hnvo been ent to Grant' army from
variout quarters, including tho 10th corps,
which recently came op from the Mississippi
river. Official here have the utmost confi
dence. Private dispatchet quote gold in New York
on the 2th iusl., at HaVi'a and on the
