At dark an attack was made along the

at two A. n, in front of Gems. Hooker,

Another correspondent says OF Friday's
ba,tle- Twice all along tbs front did the
rebels attack our lines, our ride pits, and
redoubts.
Porter, with fifty cannoa. and Sum
ner's. Hooxer's and Ayres' guns moved
them down with death harvest. Their
loss iu killed and wounded was horrible.
Under date of Friday midnight. the
same correspondent says: Ten guns were
taken from rs by flank attack. covered
by the thick smoke which hung around.
Count de Paris captured . rebel Major.
belonging to Jackson's army. He said
he had heen in the Valley Of the Shenan-
dosh all Winter. and came here yesterday
with part of Jsckson's army; the rot OF
it arrived this morning. and the whole Of
it is here. He said that in the attack on
on our right. the rebels had from 6. 900
to 5000 troops. This will explain the
enormous ere under which our men were
borne down and swept away. precisely Is
some of the regiments were swept away
at the Seven Pines.
Yesterday the Pennsylvania reserve
drove the attacking regiments of Jack
sons command; to-day they we over
powered By the same troops. reinforced.
Sykes regulars were called up, and
proved unequal to the task of stopping
them. and Siocum's com mand was added
to them.
The Count de Paris testifies to the re-
markably good conduct of all the regi.
ments that sustained this unequal attack
on Porter. They gave way, indeed, but
not one of them ran. Their losses are
enormous. The 1lth Regular Infantry
was about snnihilated, Nearly every Of
6cer in it is either killed or wounded.
The 18th also suffered severely. Major
Russell. of the regulars. kinksman Of
Gen. Mcclellan. is killed. Col Pratt, of
New York regiment, is also killed. and
Lieut. Coils. Black and Switzrr.
Our loss is very marked in,leed. The
disproportion in numbers was so extraor-
dinary and the obsiinacy Of our troops so
unyieldirg. that our losses were inevitably
large. The artillery in both Porters' and
Smiths divisions piled the rebels in heaps.
The Gre was terribly effective.

that this arrangement places Pope over

to be fighting man, and q successful
General; but what has Fremont done !?
He has made a great fuss and parade, and
done no,hins-absolutely nothing, in the
way Of lighting. He espent millions upon
millions in the West. and permitted two
brave armies to be sacrificed. Being de-
prived of his Western command, his
friends importuned the President until be
gave Fremont command Of the Mountain
Department. in Virginia. There has
been 6ghting in that Department. but
Fremont has done none of it; and with
all his dispatches and particulars from
Port Republic and Cross-Keys. our army
does not appear to be as far advanced as
it was a month ago. And now, when
q man is sent there who will try to do
something. Fremont spitefully resigns.
We are rejoiced at the report that the
War Department has accepted: his resig.
nation, and We hope he will be permitted
to go into that oblivion for which he is
SO admirably qualified.
And yet this Fremont is the man
whom such papers as the New York Tri.

From movements of the enemy last

looked for this morning. The troops
were all under arms at daylight, and
everything in readiness. but after sligh.

they retired to their old position.
A terrible storm visited this section
last night, lasting about three hours. The
wind blew hurricane. leveling tents and
trees in all directions.
The Richmond papers complain of the
large price paid for substitutes in the rebel

They mention instances where as high as

have been very mysterious. Their pickets
at some points have been drawn in half

held by our troops.

Tomorrow they are going to celebrate
the Fourth at Troy: and there is not .
man in the Comfy who dares openly to
speak irreverently Of the day. or of the
Star Spsngled Banner But how was it
just one year ago? On the 4th Of July,
1861, threats were made. that any person
who should attempt to hoist the Stars
and Stripes in Troy. should answer for
the outrcgs with bis life! and secret
bands were organized in the County. for
the purpose of exterminating Union men.
and cooperating with the Missouri Sc
cessionists. Then. Captain" Heed. Eli
Gabbert. Harry Williams. Bill Neil,

Of the 4th, Joe Nixon nailed the Ameri-
can Flag on his honse. and the cowardly
traitors did not dare to carry their threats
into execution: bot they shortly after
ward found it wholesome to emigrate.
A month or more later, the American
Flag was torn down in Iowa Point; and
upon the fall of Lexington. a pack Of
traitors publicly rejoiced over it, in the
streets oi Iowa Point. and boasted that
Gen. Price would soon have this State

PuBLlo AND PRIVATE OplNIoN.-Gen,
Lane. in recent speech before the New
York Emancipation society. said
II believe Congress will pass that law.
and all you have to do is to petition the
Presldent-brave. honest Old ABE LIN.
coLN-and he'll do that thing, and. in
the opinion of the speaker. he is right
anxious to do it."
That is expressing great confidence in
Old Abe; but does Lane always speak
so complimentary in private? It will
be remembered that he visited Kansas,
last Winter. where be procured an Gin
dorsement" from the Legislature. engi-
neered the Impeachment Committee. and
afterwards had flare up with Gen. Hun
ter. A person who travelled with Lane
on the cars from St. Joseph to St. Louis,
on his return to Washington. says Jim
was very bitter in his denunciations Of
Lincoln-pronouncing him a I'D liar.
ademagogue, and scoundrel." That be
had promised him the appointment Of
Major General, in place Of Hunter, upon
the strength of which had made speeches
and promises, and laid extensive plans ;
but the President had backed down from
bis promise. leaving him Lane) before
the public in the light Of braggart. a
fool and a humbug-closing his TRADE
by repeating that Lincoln was . Odd
liar. demsgogue. and scoundrel."
In which of these two opinions was
Lane honest-in the one publicly or pri-
vately expressed And if man in
Kansas should apply the epithets to Lane
that the latter did to the President. how
he would be abused, besmeared and bark
ed at from sundry hooks and corners
throughout the State.

The News.

We have but few additional particuiarl
of the fight near Richmond. farther thar
that the enemy got decidedly the wos
of it. Several days before the battle. Nc
Clellan had determined to evacuate th'
position Of the right wing Of his army
to concentrate his forces, to place his mel
upon the high and healthy ground adja
cent to james River. and to open com
muuication with the feet on that river
White House has been evacuated. ant
al the stores safely removed from there
1t was while this change Of position wa
being made. that our right wing was at
tackled.
Mcclellan has succeeded in what hs
undertook, to his entire satisfsction.-
While shifting his right wing. he advanc'
ed his left to high ground within easy
shelling distance of Richmond. where il
is reported he has erected furnaces 70,
preparing hot shot. Communication is
opened with the gunboats on James Riv.
er. and all his plans have worked admir-
ably.
It is rumored that Burnside is sp.
preaching Fort Darling. on james River,
in the rear, with = large force, for the
purpose ofstormingit. This seems prob.
able. as Burnside recently visited Nc.
Clellan, and had long consultation with
him. If that forti6cation is taken, the
gunboats can ascend to Richmond. The
land forces. the gunboats. and the hot.
shot batteries could then work together,
and Richmond would be doomed. We
may look for stirring events from there,
ct any time.
It is probable that the great bulk Of
Reauregard's army has gone to Rich.
mond.
Tho rebel force in the Shenandoah
Valley has been strengthened. and snoth-
er push may be made toward the Poto-
mac.
Our troops did meet with repnlse at
Charleston. Or. rather. the rebel bat
teries were taken at the point of the bay
onet. but owing to some blunder or mis-
management. regiments that promised to
support them did not come up. and they
were compelled to abandon what they had
taken.
Another attempt is about being made
to take Vicksburg: and as the fleets above
and below have now come to an under.
standing. We have no doubt they will sue
ceed.
A deplorsble state Of affairs is reported
IN Arkansas. Union men are daily hung
and shot. The rebels are in large force
IN the State. and it is rumored they have
cut off Gen Curtis supplies. His forces
have for ten days been subsisting on half
rstions, and it is feared they will have to
cut their way out through the enemy.
