THE LAST BATTLE AND VICTORY.
The dispatches to the associated press of
the 9TH from fortress Monroe state that there
was terrific fighting on Tuesday, with most
brilliant success. The rebels were defeated
in every action, and the rebel officers taken
prisoners admit loss of 10000 men on that
day. Our artillery successfully poured into
them all day, while the rebels did very little
execution with theirs. Our loss was very
small. The fighting was most desperate As
fast as the rebels were moved down fresh
troops Immediately took their places, their Of
tcers appearing to disregard the lives of their
men, holding them up under the hottest fire
OF our artillery, which swept them down as
fast as they arrived. The enemy has been
repulSed and beaten back in every fight for
the last three days. Our troops are in fine
spirits, ana never so anxious to fight as now.
All the wounded express desire for speedy
recovery, and to return again to their regi-
ments, so as to be there when Richmond is ia
ken. Our total loss during the week in killed,
wounded, and missing, is generally set down
at from 10000 to $4,000; certainly not more
than $4,000. All our wounded and sick were
safely brought off the field to the new posi-
tlon, except those at Savage's Station, north
OF the Cmckahominy. In no one instance
were our forces driven by the enemy, retiring
only under orders from one position to anoth-
er, IN gong to the new line selected for our
occupation. The Richmond papers of Mon
day that had been received admit a rebel loss.
rt,i,r q ~
ed, and missing, including Stonewal jackson
and Il. Barnwell Rhett killed on Friday. The
whole movement was most admirably con-
Quoted, and is regarded by the army as a COM
plete success, and our loss, though heavy, is
not more than half that of the rebels. by adj.
mission OF their papers. Gen. Mccall is miss
ing, probably wounded and a prisoner. Gen
eral reynolds is prisoner. Fitz John
Porter is slightly wounded. General
Meade OF Pennsylvania is seriously wounded.
Throughout the action of Monday and Tues
day our men were cheering at all points, the
whole army being in excellent spirits. The
canteens OF the rebels were filled with mix
ture of gunpowder and whiskey Through
out the action of Tuesday, when our in.
tormant left, the enemy were repulsed and
beaten everywhere, fighting as though their
energies and material were well nigh ex-
hausted. The fight of Tuesday was princi-

Gently held in Barre to facilitate recruiting for

CITY AND COUNTY.

THE FOURTH IN THE CtrY.-Beyond the
customary ringing of bells and firing of MORN
ing. noon and evening salutes, there was here
no formal recognition of the national anniver-
sary. The burlesque parade which was very
skilfully and creditably carried out. afforded
amusement to a large crowd of people, who
filled the streets along the march, and mustered
upon the common during the ''dress parade.
Before the day was far advanced, however,
the crowds left the hot and dusty streets for
attractions outside the city, which in number
and variety were quite as attractive as usual.
OF some of them we give more particular
account under their appropriate heads. We
are happy, also, to add that during the en-
tire day the streets were unusually orderly
and quiet, and no casualty TO life or limb oc-

The FOURTH AT STERLING JUNCTION.
The members of the various divisions of the
sons of temperance in this vicinity celebrated
the Fourth of July very happily in the grove
at Sterling junction. The large assembly

mittee of arrangements, who announced the

preSidents-Clark JillsOn and George W. Austin of
Worcester, Charles Fessenden and c. S. Toman of

W est Boylston, and MesSrs. Iuttle of Lancaster,
and Haynes of Bolton. Secretares-H. D. Jillson

Worcester; Rev. Messrs. Brooks and Trask
of Fitchburg; Rev. Messrs. Willis of West
Boylston, Gould of Lancaster, and Brown of
Bolton, Amasa Norcross Esq, and DIR. H. H.

tional airs with fine effect. Gardner also
| furnished brass band which contributed
much to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Nothing occurred from the commencement to
the end to disturb the harmony of this agree
able celebration which may be set down as
one of the most successful of the year.

The FOURTH AT THE LAKE.-The ATLANTA
boat club and large party of friends cele-
brated the Fourth in delightful way at Quin-
sigamond Pond, in the vicinity of Davis cot
tage. A new and handsome pleasure boat,
just built for the club, was christened by one
of the young ladies, who broke bottle of the
pond water over its bows. The various boats
were decorated with the American flag, and
were put to good use. There was music and
dancing, and everything necessary to the
general enjoyment, not emitting the overload
cd rcfreshment table, which was elegantly ar
ranged under the trees. Smaller picnic par
ties also found the shores of the pond an
agreeable place, and the Phantom boat club
chose good spot, where they pitched their
tents, and enjoyed the luxury of camping
out for two days and nights.

FIRE ON SALISBURY STREET-The barn
attached to the residence of Julius Webb,
Esq, on Salisbury street, was destroyed by
fire last night, about o'clock. The house
was saved by the energetic efforts of some 20
or 30 of Mr.. Metcalf's Highland Cadets, who
covered the roof with wet blankets and
passed up the water freely in buckets from
the wells on the premises, before the arrival
of the engines. The house was built several
years since by the late Rev. n. T. Bent,
being then known as Herbert Hall. A large
number of the students board with Mr.. Webb.
Mr.. W was absent from home at the time. The
property is owned by Charles w. Hartshorn,
Esq, who had insurance of $500 on the
house, $500 of it at the old Worcester Mu-
tual and $1,000 at the Merchants and Farm
ers; and $500 on the barn, at the old Worces-
ter Mutual. The whole loss is estimated at
about $1,000, the barn being a valuable one,
costing about $500. The damage to the
house was chiefly from the water. The fire
took in the basement of the barn, and was
evidently set, as two attempts had before been
made to fire it, and discovered. The horse,
carriage, cows, and pigs in the barn were
saved from being burnt, by the timely action
of the students.

The FOURTH AT THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
IN LANCAsTER-Th families of girls clus-
tered under the old elms of Lancaster COM
mon, kept the Fourth in fine style. Our wor-
thy representative on the board of trustees,
Thomas Tucker Esq, eXtemporized an eX-
cursion thither Friday, in which some dozen
or more participated. After bountful COLA
ton on one of the lawns, Col. Fay, OF the
through the beautiful grounds and convenient
buildings of the school. A little after two p
NJ, the girls in long procession, headed by the
stars and stripes, repaired to the chapel, where
for more than two hours they delighted their
visitors with recitations, songs and choruses,
the music, under the direction of Mr.. Whit
ing of this city. We venture to say that few
sweeter voices ''hailed Columbia Friday,
than some of those which rang out so clear
and strong from that little chapel amid the
elms at Lancaster. The Declaration of indie
pendence pronounced in concert by the pu-
pills was made thrilling by their skilful intona-
tions.
Remarks were made by Col. Fay, Messrs
Tucker and Fisher, of the trustees, Rev Mo
ses Stebbins Of Lancaster, Briggs of Prince
ton, Moss and Souther of Worcester, Deacons
Kendall and White of this city, some of the
points or pegs" of which will not soon be
forgotten. The new superintendent Rev.
Mr.. Ames, presided at the exercises, with an
efficiency and skill which augurs well for his
success in the most arduous post to which the
old Bay State could call one of her sons.
The surprising loneliness of the situation,
neatneSs of the various apartments, from
laundry to dormitory-the healthful, hearty,
happy looks and bearing of the pupils, the
proofs of reciprocal affection between them,
with the evident watchfulness and parental in
terest Of the trustees, the superintendent,
matrOns and teachers, must have convinced
even the most skeptical that this is one OF
Massachusetts noblest and worthest chart
ties. We were not of that sort, have always
| believed in Lancaster, and had our faith
strengthened by the visit of the Fourth
VIDI.
