From the Richmond Dispatch Of August 2Sd.l
The Fight ut Petersburg.
PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA.. August %, l

PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA, August ", 1854.
. 70. day, for the first time in the history Of the
csup,ign of the army Of Northern Virginia, the
Confederate arms have suffered check and rs-
pulse.
After the fight of Friday evening our forcss fell
back again to the entrenchments just outside Of the
town. The enemy 1t once threw forward their
picket and skirmish line, and occupied the ground
which We had abandoned. all Of Saturday passed,
and, for reasons which it would be njudicious to /
state, no renewal Of the 6gbt was made. This
morning, however, everything being in readiness,
Major General Heth attacked the enemy vigorously
in front; l. e., those confronting him and facing up
the railroad towards Petersbur whilst Msjor.Gvn.
eral Malone having passed down the Squirrel road
until his forces reached the Vaughan road, turned
square to the left, in order as was supposed, to
strike the enemy in flank and rear just back OF the
Davis House, The column attacking in front drove
the enemy back some half mile taking his line OF
breastworks and over three hundred prsoners-
Here however, they halted, owing to the strength
of the enemy's next line Of works, which was
literally lined with artillery. The cclupn engaged
in the fanking programme WAS however, not SO
successful. The skirmlshe-s having been deployed
and started forward our line of battle soon formed
and moved on in support. In few moments the
enemys skirmshers "a line strong as our line OF
battle encountered and our men dash'ng forward,
press them back towards their line Of oiesstworks

gallant commander, refuse TO rally The contAglon

to as murderous fire in retreat as that to which
they were subjected whilst advancing Hagood's

reached the works he found that one Of his conels
had surrendered his regiment, Of his brigade, with
out consulting h,m At once repudiating the act
of his subordinsts, he ordered the men to fire and
then to save themselves, his supports on the night

The ergagsnseDt lasted about two hours, ending
about II o'clock, and has not been renewed since
that hour.

lines f6fmine . cresceht with their arcs fronting
Us hence Malone found no flank to strike:
Some cavilling critics will doubtless take occasion,
to animsdyert upon this failure In order that the
failure may be perfectly understood, win give the
reason which, in my.judgment led to it In the
hrst plaee the enemy were present in oysrwhel'
bers. In the second place. they we're. admirably
posted and very strongly fortified artihcisly. In
the third place. t. the eternal 6scredt of one Of our
brigades, be it said that they broke and ran, and
refused to be rallied by their gallant commander,
though he did all that msn could do. And finally,
if the enemy we're not apprsed of attack, it wss
not because the plan and tme were not known, even
to the very urchins of Petersburg. Whose fault it
Was that these matters leaked out do not know;
but do know that eighteen hoars before the time,

The enemy, fighting behind entrenchments, did

Why CHANBERsBURG WAS BURNT.-This act is
thus explained in q letter from Maryland to the
New York Herald:
Just before leaving Williamsport General Early
made some important public remarks in regard to
the burning of Chambersburg which are Of inter.
est He said that he had ordered $lOO, 900 in gold
to be demanded of the town; and that if the de-
mand was not complied with in three hours the
town was to be burned that the sum of money
demanded was to reimburse Andrew Hunter, VIM.
Lucas, E. j. Lee and Hon. Alex. K Boteler. for
their losses caused in the destruction Of their pro-
perty by order of General Hunter, and that he felt
perfectly justified in the course he had pursued
De explained how General Hunter had burned the
house Of his (Hunters) cousin, ia Jefferson county,
Virginia, and taken that cousin (Andrew Huhter)
on as prisoner, and said that the act was b9ital
one because the inmates of the house were not al
lowed time to save even portion Of their clothing
In concluding, he said it would be the future pol
1ey oi>the rebel government to retaate in the Sc
verest manner for al barbarities practiced against
them de delivered these remarks in q calm, firm
manner. In private conversation he said that no
man more than himself deprecated the necessity of
such an act las the one committed at Chambers
burg, but that he sanctioned it, believing he was
only doing his duty to these people who had SUI.
fered by General Hunters orders, aad again, be.
cause hs s-believed by retaliation such 6arbarous
practices would be sooner discontinued than in any
other way. He was particularly severe ON General
Hunter, and said that if he should fall prisoner

The News

The News.
W. nublish accounts to-day, from the Petersburg
and Richmond papers, of the recent conflict near
psrrsocrg, resulting in the capture and occupation
49, the enemy of the Wilmington and Weldon Road.
Ths loss of this Road At this time is much to be re,
.r.tted. We may be sure, however, though all the
s,.,;,s of the battles have not yet been received,
.t o,r troops contested every inch of ground with
~. most desperate valor. But We do not despair
If it's recovery. 1t may be retahen by storm, and
.ho communication restored. But however this
NAV be, the Danville Road is stii left and every
oort will of course be directed to hold it as main
line of communication between Richmond and the
soutb, The impression seems to be that the great
battle of Petersburg will oe fought by Gen. Lee for
the recovery eff the Weldon Road.
Richmond papers of late date express the appre-
bepsion that radng parties had started from Grants
army for the Southside and Danvile Roads. But
we learn that passengers have come through on the
soutbside Road who left Petersburg on Wednesday
morning last. The daily papers of this City Of
Thursday morning last contain no dispatches from
Richmond or Petersburg; and We have no further
news up to the time of going to press.
We have no further intelligence from Atlanta
The federal forces, it IS stated have retired from
the Valley Of Virginia towards the Potomac. No
pitched battle has been fought in that quarter.
The news is not as cheering as we could desire,
but let us hope that the indomtable valor of our
troops and the skill and energy ofour Generals may
very soon gain some signal advantages, and thus
turn the tide which seems to be setting against US
in the neighborhood of Petersburg.

PROCLAMATION BY TEE GovERsoE.-1t will be
seen by the Proclamation of Gov. Vance, in our
paper to-day, that that functonary, responding to
the late appeal Of Gen. Lee to deserters and to the
general public wish as expressed in the newspapers
Of the State has issued urgent call to deserters
and absentees from the army to return to their
posts, and has enjoined it as duty on the entire
body of the militia to exercise the utmost vigilance
in Kidding the State Of deserters We trust this
call will be needed We think it n ore than proba-
bic that majority of the deserters lurking in this
State soldiers from other States, who have made
North. Carolina . sort Of halfway house between
Virginia and their homes and it is due to the char
scter of the State, to the Confederate SERVICE and
to many of our citizens who have been injured by
these deserters from other States Is we'll rs from
our own State that they should be banished from
midst and returned to their duty. Let those of
our citizens who belong to the militia home guard
and who have been thus far exempted from active
service in the Confederate army in consideration of
the important duties they are expected to perform
at home, at once respond to this order Of the Gov
ernor, and execute it faithfully, and the evil COM
planned Of will soon cease to exist.
