STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT ON THK
HUDSON RIVER.

ALBANY, Aug. 9.-As the Troy steamboat
Vanderbilt was coming up the river this morn
ing just before daylight, and when short dis.
lance from the Undertook upper light she ran
into q tow of canal boats, sinking three of
them and damaging her own bow so much
that water was soon several inches deep in her
lower cabin.
Her steam pump was Immediately set to work
but as water seemed to gain on them 1t was
found necessary to run her ashore. and 1t is
feared her hull has sustained additional injury
thereby.
The steamer St John which was a short
distance behind, ran alongside AMI took off
her passengers.
No one on board the Vanderbilt was injured
or lost, but it Is reported that two brothers
who were sleeping In the forecastle of one of
the canal boats were either killed or drowned.
A propeller and barge were sent from this
city this morning to bring up the freight which
received but little damage.

pulsed..StOry Of Deserters.
FoRrREss MONROE, Aug. ga terrific fight
took place in front of Petersburg on Friday
evening. lasting from $3.50 to 7:3O o'clock.
1t commenced with charge from the enemy
which was repulsed with slaughter. They also
exploded mine, which did no damage to our
troops or works but killed some of the rebels.
The fighting on our eide was principally by the
9th corps and was most desperate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ga letter from the Ar
my of the Potion &c dated on Saturday evening
says it Is not generally believed the purpose of
the eEemv on Friday was to blow up a fort in
front of the 5th corps but their iRten,iOn was
to damage q mine which they suspected was
being dug in front of the 18th corps. 1t is
certain there was an explosion, whatever may
have been the object.
~ one rushed to his post, when a rapid fire
commenced from our line in the direction Of
the enemy. who were supposed to be advanc-
ing under cover of the smoke. When the true
state of afflirs was discovered firing ceased.
A party of 80 deserters started to come into
our lines Yesterday morning at an early hour.
Our gunners, not knowing their, intention.
opened fire upon them, killing Ind wounding
about 20. Nine of them arrived at headquar-
tiers on Saturday forenoon, some of them
wounded. They represent the Confedera, es as
being in bad shape, on account of the state
of affairs at Atlanta, and tell how their army
was on the previous Saturday when the mine
was sprung, all leaving their guns and running
back some distance, feering other explosions
were gnirg to occur along the line. But they
soon legained confidence and fell back into
their former position in time to meet au attack
which they say was more than an hour and
half after the explosion.
These men say the reason why the rebels do
not exchange newspapers is, they are ordered
not to do SO, but this would be no excuse if
they could afford to buy them-the price being
45 cents piece, and they have not been paid
up for long time.
Very little firing took place on Saturday.
The Heralds Washington special says Grant
and staff returned from the Upper Potomac,
and started for City Point.
The Ir1bunes correspondent from Petersburg
says the armies on the Potomac and James
Rivers were never in better condition for an
important movement from which you may
soon expect news.
Gen. Wild charged by Badly Smith with dis
obedience of orders has been returned to duty.
The proceedings of the Court were set aside

A BLOSSOM FROM TIRE BATTLR- FIELD -
The circular Of the Christian Commission
mentions the following pleasant occurrence
as having taken place in the valley of
death Gas it may aptly lie called) b. ore
Petersburg:
A delegate tells Us of picket prayer
meeting, three or four evenings since, clear
outside IN front of the picket line, in ra-
vine halfway between the two lines of
pickets. 1t was commenced by singing
the hymn
1 love to steal awhile away from every cum
berng care
And spend the hours of setting day In humble.
grateful prayer.
Instantly, as the melody rose on the still
air of night, the picket firing ceased tor
the space of more than mile, and was
not resumed during VIII le hour. Next
day the rebel pickets told ours that they
heard the singing and pr, yer, and heartily
wished themselves there.

Agitation In Political Cfrcles-..R lot
Between Soldiers and Negroes.
Republican Delegations.

WASHINGTON, August 4-Major General
Hooker arrived in Washington to- night,
direct from Shermans army. 1t is more
generally believed now that he is assigned
to new department, to be composed of
Upper Maryland and portions Of Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia, though some persist in
declaring that he takes high command in
the Army Of the Potomac.
Political circles are somewhat agitated
to-day by the arrival of Thurlow Weed
and other prominent Republican politi-
clans. R1mors of Cabinet changes and
the assignment of Mcclellan to a COM
mand are quite prevalent. There is some
thing on the tapis evidently.
Fast day has passed off without any
great event. Contrabands to the number
OF several hundred had a picnic in the
Presidents grounds. Business in the de-
partments and throughout the city was en-
tirely suspended. The day was clear and
quite cool for the season.
This evening severe riot broke out on
Capitol Hill between soldiers and negroes.
Tbs former attacked the latter with stones,
bricks, and everything at hand which they
OOuAu uSOs AAO uCSiO Co OuCuuuiOcTcO lu0m
and drove them back with axes, iron bars,
&c. One negro, with an axe, cut iudis-
criminately among the soldiers, and nearly
severed the heal of one SO ,lier f:om bis
body, killing him instantly. Several were
badly wounded. The soldiers fell back
and were joined by reintorcements, when
they drove the negroes back and set fire to
a long row of frame dwellings occupied by
contrabandR. All were destroyed. BY
this time large detachment OF police ar
rived and made several arrests. The
wounded were carried to the Lincoln Hos
pital. This is the most serious riot which
has occurred here in long time.
Washington is going through it's usual
endemic of delegations. There are three
at present in town, and all politically con.
stituted of Republicans. The first comes
from New York city. They want Gen
Mcclellan to have command, but their
sympathy is exploded by the political com.
plexion which underlies their otherwise
wise request. Second, Thurlow Weed,
VITO is believed to be periodically engaged
in representing to the administration the
necessity of making Cabinet change, at
least SO far as the War Office Is concerned.
Third, the Chicago radicals, beaded by
Deacon Bross, who want Blair removed.
The President is said to be in a quite sur-
prised frame Of mind at so unexDec.ed a
situation as this.
