Lively Times in Grants FrOnt..-
A Reliable Gentleman not so
Reliable,

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
Nov. 6.-There was quite lively time be-
tween the pickets on the lett of the line
Friday night, resulting in the loss of few
men on each side. Yesterday a good deal
of artillery firing took place near the Jeru-
salem plank road, but without loss to us
Last night the pickets in the same vicinity
opened fire shortly after dark, and kept it
up sharply all night. AT about IL o'clock
this morning the rebels attempted to ad-
vance their picket line here to recover some
ground which our men took last week; but
our soldiers being wide awake made stern
objections, and for an hour or two the ex-
change of compliments in the shape of lead
was quite heavy. This is the old contested
ground near what was called Fort He'll,
where firing has been almost incessantly
and extremely hot for three months, for
which reason the place was thus designated.
A citizen of Richmond arrived within
our lines yesterday morning, having left
that city four days ago. He was in the Ii
quor business, but fearing that the authori-
ties would soon seize and put him in the
army, he concluded to take an unceremo-
nious departure. He tells the old stories of
want and destitution in Richmond, of gar
roters operating nightly in the streets, the
high prices of necessaries of life, and he al
so says the rebels in front of Petersburg
are busy mining under our works, but at
what point could not be ascertained, as a
strict guard is kept in the vicinity and no
one allowed near the place except those en-
gagged i'm the work. Very little faith is
placed in his statement.
All is quiet throughout the line.

Rebel Account of the Destruction
of the AIbemarle and Capture of
VDIynn NTH.

AkeDcl ACCOUNT Oh une lpeStruCthOn
of the Albemarle and Capture of
PIym nth.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Richmond papers
of the 4th have the following concerning
the sinking of the Albemarle and capture
of Plymouth:
The Dispatch says: The capture of Plym-
outh, N. c., by the enemy, is explained by
later accounts. A lack of sufficient watch
fulness on the part of our troops seems to
have been the prime cause of the loss of the
town. 1t seems that on Thursday night a
party of eighteen men belonging to the
blockading fleet in Albemarle sound, some
eight or ten miles from Plymouth, took a
small torpedo boat and started for Plym-
outh. On the way they found a small
boat containing six of our men in the
river, stationed there as picket guard !;
but all of them being asleep, they
were taken prisoners. Then proceeding to
Plymouth, they found the Albemarle ather
wharf, and running the torpedo boat under
her amidship, blew her up, causing damage
from which she soon sunk. Infantry was
stationed on the wharf, who fired on the as
saulting party and after the Albemarle sunk
captured the whole of them, but no one was
killed and only one man wounded. There
was no force of the enemy near Plymouth,
with the exception of five or six gunboats
in the sound, but the loss Of the Albemarle
opened the Roanoke to them, and hence the
fall of the town. Captain Roberts, it is
stated, commanded the Albemarle. 1t is
understood there were no lives lost on the
Albemarle, as there were very few men on
board at the time OF the explosion of the
torpedO,

SHoDDY FUNERAL LAST EvENING.-The
Abolitionists wol I'd O. the Presidential
campaign on their part by some solemn eX-
ercise in the nature of tragedy at the
Atheneum last evening to very respect
able audience mostly ladies. We believe
the ceremonies were opened by Postmaster
General Dennison. Col. Noyes, of the
Both regiment, delivered very neat and
eloquent speech, temperate in tone and re-
spectacle in language-quite in contrast
with the usual vulgar abuse and vitupera-
tion usually discharged by Abolition
patriots who have never seen tithe of the
service in the field and have not half the
sense that the Colonel possesses. Colonel
Noyes was followed by Brigadier General
Kiernan-one of the Brigadiers without a
star and a soldier of unfortunate fortune.
The only remarkable thing about the Brig
adler (who has the reputation Of having
been on both sides of the political fence
within the space of three days., was that
the bottom of his vest and top of his panta-
looms were perpetually seeding from each
other, thus illustrating-by slight stretch
of Imagination = the dissolution of the
Union which he favors by his advocacy of
Lincoln's election. But one attempt at en-
thusiasm was made during the evening
that of some jealous patriot, who called for
three cheers for Abe and Andy, gave the
"Hip-Hip," and sat down amid profound
silence-but the first effort proving such a
palpable and ludicrous failure, there was
no second attempt made.

DEATH OF Gov. MEDARY.-The announce
ment of the sudden and to many unex-
pected death of the veteran Gov. Medary
cast shade of gloom and sorrow over the
people of the city evening, and was the
chief topic of conversation among citizens.
He had multitude of warm personal
friends to whom his death seemed an ire
parable loss. Yesterday, when it became
evident that he was in critical condition,
the members Of his family in various parts
of the country were telegraphed to; but
the exact whereabouts of Lieut.. Chas.
Medary were not known here. A dispatch
was sent to the War Department, to which
Secretary Stanton replied, stating that
Lieut.. Medary's furlough had been promtly
ordered and he was on his way home, the
Secretary of War rendering his sympathy
to the family in their distress and express
ing hope that Governor Medary might
recover. Soon after the receipt of the
dispatch, however, the veteran had fallen
into the last sleep.

utthe thieves were disappointedas they did
not find the money which they expected
to obtain by their crime.
On the same evening the shoemaking
shop of Mr.. Smithon east State street was
entered by burglars-doubtless the same
party who visited Mr.. Loomis' office-and
robbed Of about one hundred dollars worth
OF boots and shoes. No clue to identify
the perpetrators Of these burglaries has yet

Shermnn's Movements.

New YORK, Nov.7.-By the Herald's cor
respondent it appears that General Sherman
has sent the 1th corps to Decatur to operate
against Hood, while with the remaining five
corps of his army he has moved to Atlanta,
and in all probability is about to inaugurate
an offensive campaign from that point, thus
ignoring for the time the existence of Hood
or leaving him to prosecute his campaign
into Tennessee at his leisure.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Gold opened firm

special speculative movement, the price

noon the price at opening was nearly recov-
cred. The opening quotation was 245, de-
clined to 1891, and at P. NJ. it was 24411SS.

THE CITY.
CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Grand Rally of the Democracy Last
Night-Enthusiasn and Earnest-
ness of the People.

The Presidential campaign closed in this
city, last evening, with rousing meeting
of the Democracy in the State Yard. De.
spite the inclement weather, and notwith.
standing no other notice Of the meeting was
given than the paragraph in yesterdays
STATESMAN, an immense crowd of citizens
assembled about the steps Of the State House
at an early hour, and maintained the posi-
tion until the speaking closed. The ear
nestness and enthusiasm which characteriz-
ed the proceedings of the people constituted
happy augury OF the auspicious result in
this city and the nation to-day.
Mr.. Arnold of the County Central Com
mittee called the meeting to order by call
ing Newton Gibbons, Esq, to the chair, who
introduced Judge Thurman, the first speak
er, to the audience. Judge Thurman began
by announcing in fitting terms the death OF
Governor Medary, and passed brief but
eloquent and touching eulogium upon the
veteran editor and statesman, SO suddenly
summoned from among the people with
whom he was so closely identified and by
whom he was personally loved and respect
ed. The Judge then succinctly and forci-
bly, summed up the issues involved in the
campaign and urged in stirring words the
absolute necessity of the success of Nc
Clellan and Pendleton to the perpetuation
of free government and civil liberty in this
country; concluding with an eloquent ap-
peal to the people to vote, and vote right at
the polls to-day. The Judges remarks were
frequently interrupted by the hearty cheers
of the multitude, and he closed amid shout
of enthusiastic applause.
He was followed by Col. John G. Groom
in truly eloquent and stirring address, ar
raigning the Administration for its reckless
and suicidal policy and denouncing it for
its senseless and outrageous violation Of the
Constitution and the laws, which brought
forth the repeated cheers of the enthusias-
tic crowd. He concluded by expressing
himself confident of the final triumph of
Democracy and civil liberty at the polls to-
day.
Auditor Matt. Martin was next called
outand made one of his customary speeches,
full of vigor, encouragement and the raci-
est fun, keeping the crowd laughing and
cheering by turns. He, too, express
ed himself confident of the success of
the National Democratic ticket at the
polls to-day "a success which neces-
sarily involved the restoration of the I'm

Inauguration of that peace, happiness, pros
perity and the good old times which Lin
coins election had banished. Upon the
conclusion of Auditor Martins speech, the
crowd dispersed with three tremendous
and prolonged cheers for Mcclellan, Pen
dleton, Liberty and the Union.
The meeting was decided success, and
filled everybody with the spirit of good
cheer.
