A correspondent of the Herald describes a
charge by Gen. Rockers LIST brigade on Thurs
day. AT about p. NJ. the brigade was order
ed to form in line on the outskirts of the woods,
and clear them and take possession of the rail-
road beyond, and hold 1t if possible at all
risks. The brigade, composed of the remnants
of the list, 18th and 10Th Mass. regiments, and
the I'd N. H., and the Goth Penn, being held
as a reserve, marched to the charge in their
customary gallant style. They speedily dis
covered that the enemy was prepared to meet
them, drawn up in four lines. Dashing to-
wards them they received the enemy's fire I'M
fllnchingly, and with the GOODNESS of veterans,
and In few minutes more they penetrated
two Of the front lines of the foe, and had they
been in sufficient force would not have left
the work incomplete; but being imperfectly
supported, and by that time having become SO
reduced as even scarcely to have men enough
to skirmish with, they were compelled to fall
back to the edge Of the woods and collect their
scattered fragments. OF the 1900 men who
went into the engagement, SIT we're killed and
wounded. A large majority OF the latter, how
ever, were carried Off the field in safety. This
charge is declared to be by men skilled in such
matters, one of the finest if not the finest of
the war. 1t was a clear, calm, bold, heroic
give and take man fashion bayonet charge.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5.
The Democrat of this morning says, the re-
port that Gen. Curtis has been superseded as
Commander of the Army of the Southwest,
except for short time, at his own request, to
recover his health, is incorrect. We have au-
thority for stating shat he has never been rep
rimanded by the Government, and is author
lied to make this statement.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 5.
Business is still suspended, and volunteers
and armed bodies of men continue to pour
into the city by thousands. The city is quiet,
and there is no excitement beyond the enthu-
siasm manifested over the arrivals. Regiments
and companies as they arrive are bountifully
supplied with provisions in 9TH street Market
space. A bridge of boats is being built across
the river at the foot of Walnut street. 1t will
be completed tonight The order suppress

NEW DIRK, Sept 5.
BY the Fulton to-day from New Orleans
2Sth, we have important news from the De-
partment Of the Gulf
New Orleans, though threatened, is defended
by nearly all the troops in the department, who
are strongly entrenched, and the city is be-
lieved to be safe against any attack the rebels
can make.
Baton Rouge has not been burned Some
buildings which obstructcd the range of our
cannon were burned. This was done in order
that the city might be protected by the gun
boats after the evacuation by our forces should
be accomplished. No other confagration has
taken place there. The town is now held by
our gunboats, which have already repulsed
rebel attack, and are competent to protect it.
The whole rebel story heretofore published is
essentially false.
