Another Hard Fight.
Washington, June II.

Washington, June ii.
Col. Carroll, commanding the 4th Brig
ade, consisting ofthe Sth Ohio, llth Penn
~sylyania, 18th Indiana and LIST Virginia,
about 10000 strong, reached Port Republic
on Sunday; accommodated and found the
enemy, and had a skirmish. He conclu-
ded to hold the bridge, and order it not
to be burned, and put guns in position conn
manding it. At q A. NJ. Monday he was
opened On by some twentS heavy guns
placed in position during the night. Our
forces tried to reach the bridge repeated
ly to destroy it, but were met by storms
of bullets and had to retire.
A large cavehy force crossed and attack
ed our troops, while there infantry follow
ed our men, opposing them at eAery step,
often driving them back with heavy loss,
but the number, sitter Gen. Tyler's Brig
ade arrived, were so mulch inferior to the
enemy, they being at least FIVE to one,
that il was impossible to hold u posi-
ton, and We were compelled to fall back,
our boys fighting every foot of the way.
After falling back some three or o u
miles. abody ofcavelry were sent to attack
us, but they were compelled to retire, when
the engagement ended, having lasted five
hours.
Our loss in killed, wounded and prison.

that of the enemy.
Col. Carroll's horse fell, injuring him
badly. Capt. Kelley, of Gen. Shields
staff. was hurt badly in the head. He re-
ceived the praise of all who saw him fight
ing.
Col. Buckley, of the 29th Ohio, was
badly wounded; his men charged three
times to get his body, but it was carried
off by the enemy. Capt. heogh then
charged with 4 body of cavelry, and held
the bridge some time during a terrible
storm of grape. This was n of the most
holly contested engagements ofthe whole
war, as shown by the loss compared with
the numbers engaged. The men tonight
like demons.
regiments from the First brigade ar
rived in time TO assist in covering the re-
treat.
The Pioneer Corps also helped. Col.
Buckley has arrived, wounded.
Advices received at the War Depart
ment states that Jackson's force attcked
Shields advance Monday morning near
Port Republic. The conflict is said TO
have been maintained for four hours by
about 1000 of our men, against the main
dody of Gen. Jackson'sarmy. The enemy
force became so overwhelming in number
that the advance was compelled to fall
back, which it did in good order, until it
met the main body OF Shields command,
near Conrad's Store. As soon as this was
effected, the enemy in turn retired.
The fighting is said to have been severe,
and the loss heavy on both sides.
A private letter states that Gen. Shields
had previously succeeded in destroying a
quantity of supplies, belonging to rebels,
at Milford and at Conrad's Store.
The damage by recent rains, including
carrying away bridges over a branch OF
the Shenandoah river, materially interior,

Atlantic and Great Western Rail
Dad
sam1 Hallet & Co.'s Financial and

Saml Hallet & Co.'S Financial and Rail-
road Circular of May 2Sth, has the follow
ing in relation to this great enterprise:
1T starts from the Erie road, at Great
Valley, 1 station now called Salamanca,
from one of the contractors of the Great
Western, and to whose aid and energy the
new enterprise has been greatly indebted
for success. 1t then extends about IS
miles in New York, to the boundary line
of Pennsylvania. The length of line in
the last named State Is about SO miles,
The most important point touched in 1t IS
Meadville, a thriving town of some u or
Z 900 inhabitants. Dol after crossing the
boundary ofOhio the line strikes the Cleve-
land and Mahoning Railroad at Warren,
and with this road forms q very direct
connection with Cleveland. When War
rem is reached, the Cleveland and Mahon-
ing Company agree to adapt heir road to
the guage of the Erie. At Rayenna, ON
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad,
another line will also be formed connect
ing with Cleveland. The importance of
this connection can hardly be over-eStI-
mated. 1t is 4 city of some $4,000 people,
having n very large and rapidly growing
commerce, and is the terminus of an im-
portant system of roads extending west
ward. 1t will prove of the utmost value
to the Erie, and to the Atlantic and Great
Western to reach this system by duplicate
lines, Independent of the Central or Lake
Shore route. The latter, the past winter,
was unable to carry the freight offering ut
Cleveland, TO the great detriment of the
lines entering that city from the West, Is
well Us to the general trade of the county,
All this obstruction will be completely re-
moved by the opening of the atlantic and
Great Western to the points named.
The next important point to be reached
will be Akron, on the Cleveland, lanes
vile and Cincinnati Railroad. Through
this road communications will be opened
with Central and Southern Ohio, and with
every portion of the Western States.-
That portion Of the line from the Erie
Railway to the Sunbury and Erie Rail
road of Pennsylvania, is now in success
full operation. From the line of the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad, westward, the
work of construction is being most vigor.
ously prosecuted, the contractors having
5000 hands at work. All the rails for the
line to Akron, n distance of two hundred
miles from Salamanca, have been pur-
chased, together with an adequate equip
ment. A contract for 80 locomotives has
Just been concluded in this city. The
object of the company is to reach Akron
if possible, by the first of January next
Means have been provided for the rapid
prosecution of the work, and no efforts
will be spared for its construction to the
point indicated, by the date named.

Since the foregoing was penned, we
have seen an article in the Cleveland Her
aid, touching, rather remotely, however,
the question of the Union Party. Weregret
that the Herald is not more disposed to
express a positive opinion on a subject of
20 great Importance. Inasmuch as the
call is already put for a State Convention,
it Is no time for a division of sentiment,
As to the policy of the party, thus laying
the foundation of defeat and DISASTER
However, we do not apprehend that the
dicta of either a Leader or a Herald clique
viii control the people of the State in this
matter. Nevertheless, it is TO be regret
ted that there should be persons so inju-
!dicions as TO spring discordant issues at
this time.
Right about, gentlemen! Keep your
eyes ON the stars and stripes and go slow.

From The Second Cavelry.

A letter from Capt. Nettleton in the
0berlin News. dated Fort Scott. Kansas,
May Both, says:
Unless coutermanied the Indian Expe-
dition commanded by Col. Doubleday and
consisting of 5000 men, will move south
merit Monday. We renbezvsus nearly 200
miles south of Fort Scott, re-establish the
loyal Indians in the possession of their
country-whip anything in the way of
seceSh hat comes in our way-and keep
g good lookout for the rebel leaders when
they decamp toward Mexico.
Although the Indian Country is not the
most desirable place to go to, yet we are
glad to get put of Kansas in any shape.
We shall probably 90 through into lower
Arkansas and Northern Texas before end

The 84th.

This fine regiment marched into the
city this evening and took the road en-
route for Washington. 1t numbers over
one thousand men. and presented a very
fine appearance /; in fact, we don't think
we ever saw better body of men. In
their progress through our streets some
little unmilitary movements were made
by individual companies but when it is
considered that less than a week since
many of them were in their work shops,
stores, and on their farms, and that they
have not had the advantage of having
skilful field officers with them-in fact
having had none at ALIVE think they
got along remarkably well. 1t has the
material in it from which TO manufacture
one of the best regiments in the service.
One thing was remarked by all who saw
it. and that was that there was not a
drunken mar in the whole regiment
There is plenty of material at Camp Chase
out of which to manufacture as good reg
iments as the S4th, and We hope the men
there will see to it that it is done.-Statc
