HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToMAC,1
July /.


About six o'clock yesterday morning,
the 18th corps were expected to charge
the enemy's works in front.
Martindale and Turner had advanced
their fortified line in the right to the
place previously occupied by skirmishers
at the time the contemplated assault was
to be made.
Barton's Brigade on the left 18th corps
lying along the Prince George County
had began to move from the breastworks
to the rife pits.
The enemy seemed to understand that
u intention was to advance our line by
the occupation of his entrenchment. A
storm of shot and shell from ri1ed guns
and mortars was poured into our troops
before they had formed.
Two or three volleys of musketry were
exchanged. Soon heavy firing over
breastworks became heavy and regular,
but few men, were injured. The rebels
showed themselves too strong at this point
to warrant an assault. The I'd and 9th
corps had each made two attempts to
take these very works when the army
first arrived here.
Mortars were freely used on both sides
and the rebels with unusual severity
dropped shells in our midst.
Lieut.. Ludlow, of Barton's Brigade,
worked his mortars admirably, and an
noyed the enemy very much by correct
ness of aim.
The battery, 32-pounders, at General
Smiths headquarters fred at regular in
tervals into the rebel works and town.
Captain Butler and Lieutenant Fleming,
aids to General Butler, were wounded,
the former in the knee and the latter in
the breast.
All through the night there was heavy
cannonading especially on u right. A
glare overhung the city of Petersburg,
and it is thought some shells set fire to
the buildings and caused a coniagration

CoYINaroN. July 9

CovINeToN, July I'd, 1894.
Dear ChronicLe:-I nave to record the death
OF two more of the I7lst regiment. Ham
let Belden, son of David Belden of Far
mington, died on Monday morning last,
and Orsemus Dunlap, son of Amos Dun
lap, of Warren, died this morning, both
from the effects of wounds received in
the Morgan fight.
For some time, neither of these cases
were considered at all dangerous Young
Belden was shot through the leg above
the knee, and although the bone was bro
ken, for nearly two weeks he seemed to
be doing well, with a fair prospect of saw
ing his leg. But secondary hemorrhage
set in, which very much reduced him.
His leg was amputated, but nature was
too much exhausted, and he died the
next day. his father and brother were
here at the time, and took his remains
home.
Mr.. Dunlap was shot in the leg above
the ANGLE, the ball traversing nearly the
whole length, and coming out near the
knee. The bones were not considered
injured, and not the slightest doubt was
entertained of his recovery, for nearly
two weeks, when his wound gangreened,
and he gradually failed until this morn
ing, when he died.
These were both fine exemplary young
men, with bright prospects in the future.
Their loss will be sincerely regrette by
their respective associates and companies,
while a deeper void is created in the
home circle.
Day by day new affairs are reared, on
which the most precious sacrifices are of
fered to the shrine of liberty, and still the
cry goes up for more. How long, Oh!
how long, willprotesssdy Union men, shrink
from q duty so palpable to all who t0ill
not see? How long will they by their want
of action, if not by their actions, still
shadow forth a hope to rebellion, which
car have no substance, and which can or
ly prolong, yet a little longer, the strug-
gle which is tearing asunder so many
heart strings, and peopling the city of
the dead, with the flower of our land

WASHINGTON, July 2.

h~ASHlNGION, July -
The communication of the ex-Secre.
tary of the Treasury, Hon. S. P. Chase,
which he sent to the Committee on Ways
and Means, on the 29th of June, avs
The aggregate revenue from all sour.
ces for the year closing with the 30th ult,
reached 242, 600, 900 dollars; the expenses,
excluding two months pay of the army,
due July LIST, were $50, 900, 900 dollars;
the amount in excess of the revenue is
therefore 740, 000, 900 dollars, taking the
highest amount, estimated, and assum-
ing that the miscellaneous receipts will
reach $50, 000, 900 dollars, the whole
amount of revenue for next year can't
be set down at more than $318, 900, 900
dollars. The expenditures are likely to
reach $50, 900, and 450, 000, 900 is to
be raised by loans.
The Loan bill provides for only $780,
900, 900 and that is the largest sum which,
in the Judgment of Mr.. Chase, can be rea-
sonably attempted. There remains then
$50, 000, 1000 to be provided for, and all
considerations of public interest seemed
to him to require imperatively that they
be raised by an increase of revenue. He
therefore proposed to raise the deficiency,
believing that the changes proposed by
him would produce in the difference be-
tween the rate on incomes by the old
and new bill, added to the tax of the
current year one million FIVE hundred
thousand dollars. Tax on leaf tobacco.
Sl,000,0OO increase of tax on smoking
and chewing tobacco, Sc, 900, 900; increase
of taxes on malt liquors, So, 600, 900; tax
on dealers, sales, s $1,000, 900; tax on spirits
on hand, $4,000. 900, and the amount not
increased but brought from the next into
the current year, $4,000, 900; making an
aggregate of ar actual or virtual increase
of SS5, 900, 900.
Notice for the proposals for the loan of
S3S,OOO,OOO being the amount of ms
cepted offers under the former $4,000
900 advertisement is Withdrawn and the
proposals received will be returned to
those who offered them.
Senator Fessenden had a long inter
view with President Lincoln to-day and
was subsequently in the Senate attend
ing to business.
There seems to be no doubt that he has
consented to accept of the position as
Secretary of the Treasury.
The senate has confirmed the nomina-
ton of Quincy A Gilmore to be Major
General of Volunteers.

HEADQUARTERs ARMY OF THE
PnrnM,c lima o2

A large body of rebel cavalry that NOV
ed around our left is now at Reams' sta
ton on the Petersburg and Weldon Rail-
road.
Gen. Wilson's Sd Division of cavalry
passed this place few days ago en- route
for the DanVille and Richmond Railroad.
The rebels were too slow III their move
ments to head him off.
Gen. Wilson reached the road, destroy
ing many miles of the track before he
retreated his steps. He met with no op-
position until he neared the point from
which he started. All the track was
composed of scrap iron placed upon wood
en- supporters. The destruction of the
one was the destruction Of the other. As
the track was torn up it was placed upon
the wooden sleepers and burned until 1t
was bent and useless.
A Locomotive and a train were surpris-
ed at one station and before the engine
could move off all were in the hands of
onr men. The cars were crowded with
refugees from Petersburg, all the cars
with the locomotive were destroyed
Gen. Wilson having accomplished his
work in the most successful manner, and
destroyed over 30 miles of the railroad
rendering it completely useless, common
ced his return, when his advance guard
reached Resms Station the rebels were
discovered in force waiting for his return.
At this station all the cavalry the reb-
els could muster were spread out between
our gallant raiders and their infantry
supports All night they fought, and
during the morning of this day General
Wilson could 10 push his way through
the rebel force, and consequently must
fight on until reinforcements reached
him.
An officer succeeded in reaching Gen.
Mead's headquarters with intelligence of
Wilson's awkward position. The Sixth
Corps being on the extreme left and
nearest the scene of strife, was instantly
dispatched there to divert the attention
of the rebels.

The Commercial says the announce
ment of Mr.. Fessenden's appointment
advanced 5-20's and certificates one-half
per cent.
The Posts money article says the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Fessenden as Secretary
of the Treasury, is very favorably regard
ed in financial circles. Confidence is re-
viving as there is a general anticipation
of the repeal Of the Gold bill, and also of
terminating the violent movements in the
currency which have been caused by the
sudden enlargement or contraction of the
volume of the circulating medium. The
growing belief that currency will o be
more staple has had a gratifying effect on
Government securities.

CAMP IN THE FIELD,
BIGSHANTY STATION GA, JUNE Is.
Eds. MronicLe:-I write a few lines for the
information of the numerous friends of
co. II, Of the Doth Regiment, O. V. 1.
After the expiration of their Veteran fur
Tough, we were ordered to Cairo, Illinois,
which place we reached the morning of
the first of May, and went into camp and
laid there until May 10th, when we were
ordered on board the steamer Illinois, and
the 18th, about eleven o'clock, started on
our journey, to the land of destruction
and hard tack; we glided smoothly along,
and at shutdown we found ourselves at Pa
ducah KY. We laid there until 4o'clock
the 18th, when we started up the Tennes-
see river. Every thing passed off pleas
antly and the morning of the 18th, we
reached Clifton Tenn, our landing place.
Here we went into camp and laid there
until the morning of the 10th, when we
started on our tiresome march toward the
front. The weather was very pleasant,
but rather warm for troops to march with
comfort; but nevertheless we kept on our
journey, prosecuting a march of sixteen
miles per day. The evening of May 23d,
found US at Huntsville Alabama, at which
place we were allowed to rest on the oath.
Huntsville is one of the incest towns I
ever saw since l have been in the South;
the town is surrounded by numerous
springs of pure water, as clear as crystal.
There is one spring in particular on the
South side of the town from which it is
supplied with water, by means of a reser-
voir, which flows water enough to turn q
Mill.
The morning of the 18th we started on
our journey again, and reached Rome,
Ga, the 5th of June. We were not allow
ed to rest long at this place; the morning
of the 9th we started again and reached
Acworth, Ca, the evening of the 9Th,
after a march of $50 miles in nineteen
days; over mountains and hills, through
mud and rain. At this place we were al
lowed to rest on the 9th, and the morn
ing of the 10th we started again, and
reached this place the same evening
The Doth is now on guard with the divis-
ion wagon train; the rest of the brigade
are at the front, they have been skirmish-
ing every day since the Tenth but as ye
have lost very few men. There was pretty
heavy cannonading going on in front on
the 10th, and several charges made along
the lines in which Dur men captured
about a thousand prisoners. Rebel de-
serters continue to come into our lines
every night. A rebel captain brought
over his whole company, the evening of
the 18th. The rebels hold a pretty strong
position in the mountains in front of our
lines, but the untiring vigilance OF Gener-
al Sherman will at last compel them to
retire. Our lines are advancing slowly
but sure. It seems to be the plan OF the
commander to kill his men Is fast - pos
