NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New Orleans cor
respondent of the Herald gives the following
particulars OF the engagement near the Atch
atalaya. Owing to the illness Of General Her
ron that officer had received leave of absence,
end Major General Dana has been appointed
to the command. This change occurred about
week ago. AS the enemy was found to be
J IN great strength and good position on the ep-
posite side of the Atchafalaya, the command
ing General thought it advisable to throw up
entertainments, and while the lower portion
OF the troops were fortifying the levee, Lieu
tenant Colonel Leak, of the goth Iowa, was
ordered to proceed some five or six miles i'll
advance. He was accompanied by portions
OF the 10Th Iowa and 26th Indiana, together
with 100 cavalry and section of artillery.
Early on Wednesday morning the whole
force Of the enemy, consisting of Greene's,
Morton's, and Majors, brigades, succeeded in
quietly crossing the Atchafalaya, and passing
between the main body and Col. Leaks, COM
pletely outflanked and cut it off before the
movement was discovered. Col. Leak drew
up his men in line of battle, and CALAMITY
Prepared to give the advancing foe warm
reception.
A sharp fight of nearly half an hour occur
red, in which our troops fought bravely against
overpowering numbers; but at the end Of that
time they were compelled to surrender, the
enemy having almost entirely surrounded
them. With the exception of the cavalry, the
whole were taken prisoners, and their guns
captured,
The former, consisting of detatchments from
the 9th, Both and 1st Illinois regiments, sue
ceeded in making their escape. The prison
ers, officers and privates numbered 480. We
captured Lieutenant Colonel and twelve
men.
Major General Dana advanced with his
whole force as soon as possible, and our last
advices state that the enemy was in full re-
treat, they having fallen back five miles as
soon as they saw the division advancing tow.

turned upon them, as they are between the
Mississippi and Atchfalaya rivers, and to es
lcape over the latter they will be compelled
ito leave their prisoners and artillery BEHIND
them.

had violated the constitution in suspending
the writ Of hGbeas corpus, and yet he believed
the constitution did authorize the suspension
Of that writ in time of Instruction or inva
sion but be did not believe the President was
the person to order its suspension. He thought
Congress should order its suspension, but he
thought Congress had no right to delegate
that authority to another.
At about ten o'clock Mr.. Palmer brought
his remarks to a close. The audience, what
there was left, evidently thought it high time,
for there was unanimous movement to the
doors Judge Webster remonstrated-said
there was another speaker, that it yet wanted
five minutes to ten which was not late But
it was no use. They had heard all they want
ed to hear of that kind Of oratory, and the
meeting was then most unceremoniously ad-
iourned, sine die.

Tke War in Virginia.

NEW YORK, October 10.
The Washington Republican of last evning
has the following:
''There is information from the front this
morning, that Meade's army has fahen back to
this side of the Rappahannock, followed by Lees
army in great force. About mile from the
south side the enemy made a feint of moving
up the valley on the southern bank of Robin
son river. Our cavalry under Buford, cross
ed at German Ford, and took possession Of
the earthworks abandoned by them. When
our force was across the enemy came against
Buford in great force, drove him across the
river, and, crossing pursued him to the Rap
pahanncck.
''Kilpatrick's force of cavalry and artillery
made reconnaissance in the rear of Madison
Court House and was cut off yesterday after
noon, on the road to Culppeper, by portion Of
Ewells corps which formed across the only
road by which he could return. Fitzpatrick
was compelled to charge directly into the cuL
de sac made by the enemy's formation. The
cavalry cut their way through under @ con-
centrated fire, such as has hardly ever been
experienced by our troops during the war.
''Meade displayed good generalship bring
ing his army back to the line Of the Kappa
hammock. When the enemy made up the Val
ley, Meade made feint Of following him in
force to attack him in the rear, massing his
troops at Raccoon Ford This drew back
Lees army, 50 that the intended hanking
was frustrated. Meade brought
every wagon and all his stores with him."

From Charleston.

MRw YORK, Oct u.
The Boston Herald has letter from the
fleet off Charleston, Oct. 3d. which says Last
evening Gen. Gilmore sent one Of his Greek
Fire shells into Charleston, which set fire to
some buildings. The fire burnt over two
hours
There will be warm work here before this
reaches you, if nothing interferes in the mean
time.
The following from the correspondent Of the
Baltimore american, written from Charleston
harbor on the 9th inst is of interest. There
are indications now that the present inactivi-
ty will not be of many days continuance.
General Gilmore has forced his works forward
with remarkable rapidity, considering their
magnitude and the natural and artificial OBJ
structions in his way. The troops have worked
hard, nearly every regiment on the Island tax
ing its turn every other day in the trenches
for fatigue duty. All this has, however, been
cheerfuliy borne. The soldiers have an IN
limited confidence in Gen. Gilmore and lend
willing cooperation in the accomplishment Of
his plans
The navy is also preparing for the renewal
of the attack.
Within the last twenty four hours there
have been important arrivals here of means
for the removal of the Instructions, which we
may soon hope to see successfully applied.
The monitors now here are the Lehigh,
Nahant, Weehawken, Montauk and Catskill.

EOrtSle Assembly.

Atameeting Of the several delegations from
the towns and the City, held at Agricultural
Hall pursuant to a published call of the Co.
Committee, the LIST day of October, Rev, A.C.
BARRY was unanimously nominated as the
Union Candidate for Member Of Assembly for
the district composed of Kenosha city and
county. Mr. Barry made characteristic
speech, accepting the nomination, pledging
himself to work for the success of the Union
ticket, and against all copperheads.
1t is unnecessary to speak of the qualifica-
tons of Mr. Barry. He is we'll known through
out the State. For two terms, if we mistake
not, he held the position of State Superinten
dent, to which Office he was elected by the De-
mocracy. He was Chaplain of the veteran
4th Wis Regiment and has seen active service
in the field. Those who have heard him speak
since his return from the war, need not to be
told that he is heart and hand for the sup port
of the Government in its efforts to crush this
wicked rebellion. He knows but two par
ties-one for the country, and the other against
it, and he does not leave people to conjecture
which he belongs to.
Mr. Barry will make an able and infuen-
tial member of the Assembly.

1t has been suggested to US by several of
our friendsin the country, that we should have
one grand Union Rally before election, that
would waken new enthusiasm in some who
are a little lukewarm in the good cause, be-
cause they think an effort is unnecessary to
ensure success. Although we deem the sue
ces of the Union ticket this fall almost GER
tain, we by no means think it SO certain that
the friends of the Government can afford to
relax their energies in the least. We not on
ly want to elect our candidates, but we want
more to strengthen the hands Of the Govern
ment by giving such a majority that its NOR
al effect will be felt throughout the land. An
overpowering Union majority in all the State
elections this fall will discourage the rebels
more that two or three defeats on the battle
field and in so far will tend to shorten the
war. The rebels themselves confess that their
greatest hope of succeeding, in their unholy
attempt to break up the Union and destroy
the Government, lies in the success in Vallan
digham Democracy.
What say the candidates to getting up 6
rousing mass Union Convention at Agricultu
raj Hall, with some popular speakers to ad
dress the people, within the next two weeks
We believe there would be general turn out
and much good might be done.

State Elections were held on Tuesday last
in the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa
The m-Peace-Democracy in each
of those States, made the most strenuous eff
forts to carry those elections. All the oppo-
sition to the Administration, to the further
prosecution of the war, and to the Republican
party was united and every voter brou ght
ont.
The result of these efforts is a most glori-
Gus victory for the Union Cause, for the Gov
ernment and for the Administration. We
have again the gratifying demonstration that
in spite of all efforts of Demagogues and reb-
ell sympathizers, the people, will be true to
themselves and to their Government. Parti
san malice and faetious opposition cannot
blind them, for any length of time to the true
interests of our common country;
The President may well feel proud Of this
mark of confidence in his honesty, his patri-
otism and his ability. His hands will be
strengthened Thousand fold by the result of
these elections. Let the loyal people of Wis
consin initiate these glorious examples on the
third of November next.
The particulars of course have not yet been
received, but sufficient returns are in to indi-
cate results. They may be stated briefly thus :
Ohio repudiates Vallandigham by $4,000
majority, without the soldiers vote The SOL
diers vote will swell it 10 over 10000.
Pennsylvania repudiates Woodward, her
Vallandigham, and re-elects Curtin, by over
$4,000 majority!
Iowa gives large Union gains, and has I'M
doubtedIy elected the whole Union ticket by
a handsome majority.
Indiana County Elections have gone for the
Union more generally than ever before.
Never before did we so fully realize the in
spiration in the SENTENCE
Glory enough for one day.

Gentlemen Il have just seen a call for 3
state convention of the FIoyal Democrats" Of
Wisconsin, to convene at Evansville on the
18th inst. heartily rejoice at this movement
1t should have been long ago. The democ-
racy OF the State have been dragged down bv
parasites and self constituted leaders for the
last two years. Vallandigham's speeches. and
the Ryan Address have been the touchstones
OF democracy, and the masses of the party are
hidden to fall down and worship them. or be
accommodated from the fold For one. I
rebel against this caucus tyranny.
Palmer, Dewey & Co. represent the Con-
perheads. Of course, they pretend to be nat
riots and devoted to the Union. This can de-
ceive no one. They are faction that ever
since the war began have held back croaked
denounced the government and opposed ey-
cry measure of the Administration.
They have uniformly resisted all State leo
1slauon intended to aid the recruiting, equip
ping and arming of our volunteers. Many q
brave Wiscensin5s soldier has fallen on the bat
tle-held, but there are also many survivors.

The platform upon which Mr. Palmer stands
was designed to distract and divide the hon
est democracy Of our State; and every vote

counted as SO much laid and comfort to the
traltors-so much additional burthen laid up
on the already heavy laden shoulders of our
brave volunteers.

this, or short Of this would disgrace us in the
eyes Of all nations.
The south rebelled, as they say, 'to save
protect and perpetuate slavery" The issue
thus made up we must meet, and whenever
and wherever the peculiar institution" comes
in our way We must wipe it out
Rebel sympathizers at the North view this
war as mere political contest to be carried
on like a political campaign; fought with res
olutions and addresses, and decided at the bal
lot box. In this they are mistaken. The
nation, convulsed, is struggling for life. HUI
CO. speaking of Napoleon, says Waterloo is
not a battle it is the universe changing front. p"
So it is with us this is not a political strug-
gle or local Instruction, it is second "ehang-
ing of front" Republican government com
manded to transform itself into an aristocracy
or monarchy, and 30 history will record it.
The vast interests at stake must needs
make us anxious; butwe need not despair
''Heaven is above all yet" and we shall again
see the old flag waving over the old Union.
Let there be no hesitation in the loyal
fcamps; no concessions to or compromises with
blood-red treason. Loyal democrats are true
to the government in the storm as in the sun
shine they can have no fellowship with trail
tors no political affinities with northern sym
pathizers with treason. 1t is a good omen
