Correspondence OF the Chronicle.1
THE YELLOW HOUSE, Aug. 90, p. m.-Here
is summary OF the movement which gave MS
possession of the Weldon railroad. Thursday
morning the 5th corps marched to the left
Their destination was the present position; the
object of the march, destruction to the railroad
communicating with North Carolina.
The small command Of cavalry In auvance
captured or drove off every rebel this side OF
the road. Very few shots were exchanged. A
few cavalry vldettes only opposed our pro-
gress. If suUrise was designed 1t could not
have been more successful
Grifin's division first reached the road, and
Immediately began to tear it up, making breast
works OF the rsiis ana I siespead nd
Near noon the rebels made tneir appearance.
Mahone's and Heth's divisions were rushed up
stantiy, impetuously. Ayers division seemed
about to be overwhelmed, when Hofman's
brigade Of the 4th division came bravely upon
his left, and offered the rebels stout resistance.
The Purnell Legion, composed Of Maryland-
ers, for moment received the heaviest portion
OF the shock, but soon recovered from the mo.
mentary confusion into INTO wv which ain, they were
upon the left, now advanced their line stimuli.
taneously, swinging 1t around and forward so
as to take longer and stronger grasp upon the
road, for which the enemy now exhibited great
anxiety. It was here the gallant Fierson,
lieutenant colonel Of the 39th Massachusetts,
received mortal wound, and many brave
fellows belonging to the I'd and Sd divisions
were placed hors du combat. Scarcely a month
has elapsed since performed the melancholy
duty Of furnishing you with the particulars OF
Col. Dayis's death. He commanded the seth
Massachusetts,. One evening, while quietly
sitting in bis tent, a shell came whlstline along
and burst under the chair whereon he sat, xiii.
ing him almost instantly.
At last we hold the Weldon railroad. That
night, Thursday, we built breastworks Of the
soft mud. ALI night the rain fell drearily.
Next day, until 10 O'clock there was very little
firing. Between 10 and II q. m, the enemy felt

in this County was destroyed by fire,
cause of fire not known, except it was

AN INCIDENT NEGRO INsoLENCE
ENooURAGED.-A few days since, as
we understand, a negro entered car
on the Little Miami railroad reserved
exclusively for ladies, and gentlemen
who escorted them. He was invited
by the conductor to withdraw to an
other car reserved for men. He re
fused. The conductor then summon.
ed two brakeman to the scene. After
some parleying, the negro still refus
ing, he was removed, considerable
force being employed to effect it, as
he stoutly resisted.
The negro, on arriving at the
sweet.scented town of Xenia, got a
warrant for the arrest OF the brakes
men. They were tried and were
found guilty OF an assault and battery,
and punished with fine OF $25 and
imprisonment for six days in the Jail.
So it is established that under the
Xema Abolition code no cars can be
set apart for ladies that negroes can
not invade. e.-Cin0innati Enquirer.
