FROM THE FRONT.
Correspondents Associated Press

HEApoUARTKRs ARMY POTOMAC, Sept. 2s-
Eyening-Five deserters came in last night in
front of Colonel Russell's brigade of the Ninth
Corps, giving themselves up to the colored
pickets on the line. These men had been con.
scripted and had served out their time, bat
could not obtain their discharge As soon as
they found that they would not be forced into
our ranks, they made up their minds to desert,
expressing their intention to their comrades.
This they accomplished, and are on their way
North, under the terms of General Grants
proclamation.
The rebels seem to have got over their noted
antipathy to the colored soldiers. Some time
ago they made 1t a rule to keep up fire
wherever these soldiers made their appear
ance. but now they remain as quiet on that
part of the line occupied by the colored troops
as at any other point.
When deserters come in (many OF them Vir-
ginians, tool they are always willing to accept
food from whatever source 1t may come, and
they can often be seen sitting, eating with the
negroes, and acting toward them as though
their skins were as white as their own.
Lieut. Ames, of Ames' battery, was killed on
Monday by a rebel sharpshooter. The ball
entered his side, and he died almost instantly.
good deal of firing has been INDUCED by
both sides to-day along the center and right,
but without any result Of note.
Quite lively skirmish occurred al dark last
evening, while pickets were being relieved on
the center of the line. w. .. McGRKGoR.
