Meanwhile Gen Kautz had found the
line Of entertainments with his cavalry,
aud Nas fighting in the city, expecting
that infantry would assist him The
rebels, seeing Gillmore's force with
drawn, turned their undivided attention
to Kautz, pressing him closely, and cap
turing threeinch gun after shooting
nearly all its horses. At this the cav
airy became enraged (horrid fellows,
and pounced upon q l2-pounder brass
piece, which they seized and brought
away StiB no sign Of diversion in
their favor By the infantry. To attempt
70 accomplish the work assigned him
70 do was madness, and Gen. Kautz re-
luctantly ordered a withdrawal
Gen Gilmore, by this time, was
obeyiRg the return part of his instruc-
tons, and preceded his command across
the river, and thence to headquarters,
where he made his report. While this
was trsnspiring. came a dispatch from
the signal station, that tso0 long trains
of cara, with heavy siege guns, were
leaving Petersburg for Richmond, and
that Petersburg was being evacuated.
Gen. Butler directed an aid to proceed
at once to Gen. Gilmore, and halt his
column wherever he should meet it
The aid met Gen Gilmore at the pom
toon bridge. Gen. Kautz, at first, was
opposed by cavalry and some, infantry,
With q battery in position, and reports
that at the time the troops came from
the other side of the city, there were
about two regiments in all, probably
militia
II is certain that had this force, or
even a larger force, If there, been kept
employed by the infantry, Gen. Kautz
could have destroyed the bridge across
the Appomattox, and burned depots
and storehouses. No troops passed TO
the aid Of Petersburg, over the railroad
or turnpike, from six o'clock IN the
morning. Deserters agree in saying
that the intended attack was known to
them at one o'clock this morning, but
knew Of no reinforcements arriving
Gen. Gillmore's losses in the skirmish-
ing were very small, and Gen. Kadtz's
only ten or fifteen. Between forty and
fifty prisoners were captured by Gen.
Kautz The infantry recrossed the Ap-
pomattox, in excellent order, about
sunset.
Col Comstock of Gen. Kautz's staff
reached this place night before last, and
has been in consultation with General
Butler Col Comstock leaves this morn
ing Major Ludlow of Gen. Buffers
staff had been sent to communists
with Gen Grant On the army gun
boat Parke he proceeded up the Chick
ahominy to near Jones Bridge, thence
fourteen miles across the country to
White House, with ten men as escort.
He encountered but two rebel pickets,
who scattered in every direction"
Reaching Gen. Grants headquarters he
there learned that Col. Comstock had
already been dispatched tosGen. Butler.
Major Ludlow reports the Army of the
Potomac in good spirits and excellent
conditio. They think there that the
hard fighting is about to begin. There
is continual skirmishing along the line,
with an occasional attempt at assault.
What Gen. Grants plans for the future
are, is Of course surmised.

North river IN feadlness, the readers
attention is asked to another portion of
the country, where Generals Crook and
AverilI were successfully operating and
cooperating with US.
Crooks MOVEMENTS
At about the time General Hunter
moved from Cedar creek, in the She
nandoah Valley, another column, COM
handed by Gen. Crook, proceeded from
Lewisburg to Greenbrier county, toward
Stanton, to make junction with Gen.
Hunter In this movement Gen. Crook
and AverilTs command, which IS under
him, had to encounter some severe
skirmishing, and enter into one OF two
serious fights In all of these they were
entirely successful in driving the enemy
of, thereby being enabled TO make
their marches on the line originally
agreed upon. They moved in such q
manner as to lead the enemy into the
belief that the line of the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad was again in dan
ger from their propensities for raiding
in that direction Having accomplish
ed their object, they suddenly moved
EOuuLN.
where is located military institute, at
which were being educated some of the
very young men, who were practically
in arms against them. Under these
circumstances it became a necessity to
destroy this institute, and it was ac-
cordingly destroyed.
By rapid marches, both Crook and
Averill reached the neighborhood of
Stanton so as to be threatening and
advancing on it about the time General
Hunter was engaging Jones and limbo
den at Port Republic and on the line
of the North river, near Mount Craw-
ford.
This now brings me to the particular
point in this account where we find
Hunter advancing on Staunton direct
ly from Hsrrisonburg, and Crook and
Averill advancing on the same position
on two roads from the rear Here it
was that the rebels discovered the
whole "rsscality" Of our proceedings.
and saw that our design was of full
feathered "bagging" character.
As soon as it became known that our
two columns were crowding on Staun-
ION lTOm inc IOnltitfle udIHSNtf anu bHdt
we had gained complete success at
North river, or in the Mount Crawford
region, the rebel lines commenced a
rapid retreat The militia forces that
were so valiantly to defend Staunton
to the last extremity, and, if necessary,
to stand siege, skedaddled out of town
regardless Of the valuable property
they were leaving behind
On discovering that the rebels were
rapidly falling back toward the Blue
Ridge and the gaps Of that line of
mountains, we made every effort to In
tercept them In thus doing, and in
the celebrity of our movements, we gain
ed great advantages, capturing many
prisoners, arms and four pieces of ar
tillery. Two other pieces are reported
to have been subsequently taken, and
said to be all of one battery.
Haze not the rebels retreated as hasti-
ly as they did from Staunton, we would
have captured the whole rebel COM
mand left to garrison it. A glance at
the map will suffice to show that we were
on three sides of them, and hesitancy
on their part would have insured their
capture by giving us an opportunity to
cut off their last line of retreat toward
the moutain gaps.

fishers is to rival the three dollar maya
zines in quality of their engravings and
contentS> Thus it has given during the
present Year, in number a finely engraved
and colored Double Fashion Plate, while
its other numerous engravings are ofthe
best quality. The long and brilliant ar
ray of the literary contributors to the
Lady's Friend, nearly all of whom are
ladies, is highly creditable to the Maya
zine, and also to the country, as show
ing how large and cultivated 4 class of
lady writers it possesses. Many may
wonder how any magazine can be got
up in SO handsome and lavish a manner
this is, at the price of $3.50. saving
nothing of the reduced rates to clubs
The publishers say that it is only done by
having very large circulation, as money
would certainly be lost on a small edition

to speak of the November number, but
