.New York, Aug. 27. Tbe work oi destroy
ing the Weldon railroad is silll progressing.
Utllcers from lite Trout report all quiet, except
slight sklrmisliiiig. Lee's forcei have evi
demly been materially reduced during tbe
ynn fiiw days. A uew posilioa has been
gained ontlt Weldon railroad which renders
Grants army more confident of success than
ut any time during the campaign.
lhixdquarltrt 'Army of the Potomac, Aug. 24,
Evening All quiet to-day except the usual
aaunonading. Our left bus been exiendedsix
or seven mile ,. holding: securely the Weldcn
rod to Renins Stalioo, a dislauce of seveu
liirt'es. No rebels are to be seen oat our le IV
front. The entire loss of tbe &tb corp?,.ou tbe
21st, was 6,000. Xbe corns fought spleudidly.
Tbe 2d army corps, on tbe 2Utb, made an attack
at 5:30, p. u., which was probably intended to
be simultaneous, by Wilcox in tbe centre and
Ilea lb oa the ItHU The enemy lorined in tbe
woods, and placing their artillery in position,.
opened a heavy cauuonuuing which lasted. La
miuutes, when assault was made on Miles
force. He resisted tenaciously, but the eueiuy
broke bis left. Some ot Gibbon s troops hur
ried over to repair the damage. In tbe mean,
time tbe enemy gained a foothold, and at'
templing to turn our left, drove Gibbon's di
vision from bis Hoe. His men were very tired
iu marching over to Mile' position aud back
daring tbe repealed assaults, but he succeeded
in reforming bis line and checked tbe enemy
by tbe dismounted cavalry, under liregg
aliles also regained the best of bis entrench
inenents. The enemy made no further, ad
nance. They urnst bate sulleied severely.
My loss, including the cavulry, cannot exceed
1,200 or 1,500. This Is acknowledged to be
tbe Dio,t derperate battle of tbe war, resemb
ling Spottsylvania, though, the number en
gaged give less importance. A few more good
troops would have given us a victory of considerable-
importance. A dispatch from tbe
2d army corps, on the 2Gth, saysi- Tbe safe
guard left on tbe battlefield remained there
until after daylight. AX that time tho euemy
bad all disappeared, leaving their dead on the
field uubnried. This shows bow severely they
were punished. Doubtless hearing of the ar
rival of reinforcements, they feared the results-
on to-day. 1 be safeguard referred to, reports
the enemy as having retired in tbe direction
of Petersburg. They abandoned their wound
ad. Tbe guard conversed wita a rebel officer,
who said that tbeir loss was create: thaui ver
before duriug tbe war. The guard say they
were over the field. It is covered with the
aeiny's dead and wounded.
JJoston, Aug. 26. Several prominent abo
litionists, iuciuding Elizur Wright and S. Q.
How, have written a letter to lien. Fremont,
which speaks ot tbe dissitislaciiou in tbe
Union ranks, and advising both tbe Baltimore
and Ule7eland nominees to withdraw their
names, and that a uewcourention be called to
SJiect another aud new candidate! Fremont
replied at length that he did not feel.at liberty
. l withdraw, without hrst consulting tbe par
ty. He suggests that a direct effort be made
U obtain ail immediate understanding be
tween the supporters of both nominees, in or
der that they may coalesce and unite upon
such a couveution. lie says, much has been
said aboat peace: for me, peace signifies an
Integral establishment of a Union without
slavery, because slavery is the source of all
political dissenlion.3, and b cause Hie institu
tion itself is condemned by tbe enlightened
and liberal spirit of tbe sge. These are to
we tbe essential conditions of peace.
Neu York, August 27. The Tuna' Wash
ington dispatch says that a gentleman arrived
in this city from Georgia, who came by At
laua, with the permission of Sherman. He
represents that the State Qovernment desires
to learn upon what basis tbe United Stales
Government will treat with the Stale of Geor
gia for readmission into tbe Union. The ao
tion of Georgia is had without reference to
tbe rest of tbe Confederacy.
New York, Aug. 29 Tbe Tribune's-Washington
special sums up the result of the fight
ing on. Weldon, railroad as follows: 1st. The
enemy afler repeated and impetuous assaults
compelled our abandoning tbe ruilroad below
Reams' Station. 2d. Although attacking in
' vastly superior numbers, the rebels received
a bloody repulse in successive instances. 3d.
Tbeir loss is nearly double otus, and we bad
fully accomplished our object by the destruc
tion of ten miles- of railroad from Kcams's
Station, but had decided to abandon the posi
tion. We lost .but four miles of. the road.
Richmond papers of the 28lh, admit a loss of
6,000 in tbe attack on Iteams' Station. Ens
oners say their loss is about' 5,000. Another
attack is soon expected, Lee having recalled
tbe troops from Shenandoah valley for. that
purpose. The indications are that a heavy
battle will be fought near Atlanta, on the Ma
con Railroad, before the end of. the. present
week.
A'cw York, Aug.. 31. Dispatches fr'om
Grant iudicate that Lee has ceased to strug
gle for the recovery of Weldon railroad,
which is completely in our possession. No
fighting occurred yesterday or to-day before
Petersburg or, front. Early's forces are in
full retreat up tho valley,. and onr cavalry
are closely pursuing in the rear of there
treating .column, and are capturing jaany
