FRON GEN. GRANT.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3
The Herald has the following special ac-
count Of the fighting north of the James
River: -
On Friday three desperate efforts were
made by the enemy to retaka the works
captured from them by Us on Thursday
General Leo in person commanded. The
rebels each time were driven back with
considerable loss.
Tie enemy were discovered at 2 P. NJ,
msssing in a wood directly opposite the
font captured yesterday.
In half an hour they charged, with a
wild yell, in three heavy columns of at
tack.
AT the same time the rebels opened upon
our position, and our line was enliladed bv
the fire of the rebel battery on the river.
The men, however, stood steady to their
posts, and received the rebels with so hot,
well directed and incessant fire that they
broke in confusion and retired to the
woods. Twice again they were rallied by
their officers, and returned to the charge,
but only with the same result, until, final
ly, broken and dispirited, they fell back in
irredeemable confusion, leaving the ground
covered with their dead and wounded
The prisoners report a thousand, at least,
killed and wounded.
Over 300 prisoners were taken by us,
including many officers, and the greater
part of the 8th North Carolina
Among those captured are several field
officers, and Captain Mcguire, Inspector
General Of Clingman's staff.
The regimental flags were all taken by
Standards div ision. Two Of them were
captured by the 18th Connecticut and 18th
Tennessee. .s1s1-
The fight has been pronounced one
of the most desperate and brilliant of the
war, and by the skillful management Of
his troops, General Weitzel has added one
more leaf to the laurels won in Louisiana
The assault was perfectly and brilliant
y successful.
The whole line was taken, with two or
three guns and about so prisoners. The
other guns were dragged away.
The rebels left their dead and wounded
on the field The prisoners belonged to
Beauregard's command,
Among them were one Major one Cap
tainand five Lieutenants.
Our loss was not great-I think, not $50,
but one Of our best officers, Colonel Welch
of the 18th Michigan, was killed, and the
following officers wounded Major Par
fridge aud Lieutenants Writ and Baird, all
of the 10th Michigan.

ragut has been scattering his fleet to th'
four winds.
The Brooklyn has gone North, severa
have been sent to the blockade off Calves
ton, and others are now in pursuit of the
Tallahassee.
At Dog River Bar there are only the
Winnebago, Chickasaw, and four light
draught gunbosts.
We have sufficient vessels to keep up a
counter irritation to draw off forces that
otherwise might be sent against Sherman.
We are within sheIling distance of the
city, and while I am writing they are pre-
pairing to open on the rebel gunboats.
We are so near that we can read the
,1a-nes of the steamers crowded around the
wharves, and can see nine blockade run
ners still hoping to elude our vigilance
and escape to sea-
1t is not probable that the feet here will
do anything more than remove obstruc-
tions.
The land forces have been sent back to
New Orleans and are now engaged on an
other expedition.
Blockade running on the Texas coast is
very brisk now,
Mobile is shut up, and the feet has
been increased.

A special to the Commercial from Wash

Bodies Of the slain have been exhumed to

The Irib'zrs's special says
Our lines now extend from Chspin's
Bluff to the White Oak swamp, at a dis
tance of from five to six miles from Rich
mond, and from the Bluff we command
the enemy's lower pontoon bridge across
the james. The regiments most warmly
engaged were the 1I7th New York, 9sth
Maine, 5lst New York, 7th and sth Con-
neOticut, 47th and l42d New York, and
General Paine's colored division. Our
entire loss is estimated at 700.
The 4ribunes special says:
1t is reported that Trrbert's cavalry
captured ten of Early's trains beyoud
Staunton.
A great many rebels, who, after the
Winchester fight, scattered among the
mountains are coming in and delivering
themselves up.
Large numbers of stragglers are also
picked up.
1t is reported, and believed, that force of
rebel cavalry had taken possession of
Grafton. We had ne force there.
The citizens Of Harrisonburg say Early
had but 4 pieces Of artillery and but ten
thousand men when he passed that place.
At Staunton, however, he had two batter
les of pieces each, in reserve.
His troops had los. their regimental or
ganizstions and were retreating, pell-mell,
for some place of safety.
The HSraIGs Washington correspond
ent says Mosby has sent word TO his
command that he will be unable to Join
them owing to his wound.
Major White takes his place.
The HerglFs 10th Corps correspondent
says, Rebel prisoners say that Davis and
his Cabinet have fed from Richmond.
The Wing was the only Richmond pa
per printed on the 3Oth, owing to the gen

Lee IS said to be acting Independently
of all instructions. He is in fact Military
dictator of the Rebellion. As his retreat
in the direction of Weldon is cut off it is
thought he will concentrate his forces in
Richmond and fight the life OF death
struggle there.

FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.
The government loan, advertised, is rem

by unlimited issues of 6 per cent com

down to 1881. it closed at 1901.
The loan market is easy and not very

Opinions differ as to the probable effect
of payments on account of the new Gov

seems to be that in consequence of the iu-

will attend this loan than any Of those
which have preceded it,

The following is the TFibune's special
account of the operations before Peters
burg:
Saturday, the 29th- General Gregg
was supported by two Brigsdes of Infant
ry, and pushed reconnaissance. from our
left toward the Lynchburg railroad as far
as Poplar Spring Church beyond the
Vaughn Turnpike.
No enemy in any force was discovered
to-day.
General Grifin's division advancing
beyond the Church, came upon the en-
emy in strong position, about two miles
form the Weldon railroad.
Their preparations for defense though
not complete were very formidable
General Griffin decided to carry the
works by storm, and formed his division in
three lines Of battle by brigade, the third
brigade in advance under Colonel Grim of
the llsth Pennsylvania.

This was the only fighting yesterday
on the left except an attack made by

were driven with considerable loss.
Our army is strongly entrenehed and
battle may occur any moment.

The aggregate loss in the 9Th corps is be-

wounded and missing, of this number
about 200 were captured, 300 wounded,
600 killed, and the remainder net account

The line of works taken from the enc
my are those on their extreme front. Be-
hind these they have two very strong lines
defended by double rows of abattis, and
armed with heavy guns, the capture of
which, if attempted, will require long and
arduous sieges and be attended, no doubt,
with an immense sacrifice of life.
Among the rebel gunboats which aided
in the efforts to repulse our troops, was the
ram Virginia, just completed. She is
armed with four 14-inch columbiads, and
