POSITION OF GEN. CAss.

From the beginning of the secession movement
in the S,uth, and during the whole course of the
war, it is known that the venerable Gen CAss has
most zealously sustained the cause Of the Govern-

represented that this distinguished statesman had
declared his intention to vote for Mr.. Lincoln at
the coming election we take pleasure in reproduc-
ing the subjoined letter, which sufficiently dlsposes
Of this unfounded rumor:

yesterday by Greggs cavalry which developed the fact
that 'he enemys picket posts the Vaughan road
their headquarters being at little chapel known Poplar
Spring Church iurthr that they had blockaded The road
short distance beyond the church at point where il
passed through species of bayou.
To-day, abouG noUn entire attacking force moved
from the works OF the Fifth Corps and approached
enemys position by different roads, the greater portion OF
our line being obliged to swing arouud some miles to the
lett IN order TO evade the swamps right front The
only troops engaged were portion of those which moved
along The Vaughan road, comprising the Sixteenth Mich
gan the Forty New York and the One hundred and
Eighteenth Pennsy vania, under command of COL Gwynn
Of the latter regiment TIE division to which they were
attached Gen Ayres found the enemy rather nearer our
lines than they had been discovered by Gregg but small
force only They quickly driven back following the
road Until they had passed the bayou of which have
spoken when they passed to the right through open
country, where our attacking party arrived.
Here 1t discovered that through this open SPACE the
enemy's works were thrown up. AS they we're built pa
ralel with the road became necessary to change the
front of force so that would face the position This
was quickly done, the enemy Smelling them meanwhile

DIVISION came up rapidly and charged twice on the
SecoLd line Of rebel works. but did not succeed 10 eectno
"ogment within themi though they maintained the
position they had gained on the first line.
ne result OF this lighting may be summed up in the
that we gained possession of the enemy outer
ne OF works from about mile and half from the river
opposite Drurys bluff to point on the Central road near
Vduo nor neast from there while Kautzs cavalry division
penetrated along the Central road TO within two miles of
Richmond.

reoel lines defended by adequate force On the right
OF the Eighteenth Corps, where the second division was
compelled to retire from the rebel works the rebel gun
boats were BROUGHT into requton aud operated effective
" to protect their line against assault.
The third division of tho Eighteenth Corps which had
Inc right OF that corps charged and succeeded carrying
the ihepts of the rebels outer line in their front with
but little loss to themselves.
The heaviest loss incurred tho second division of
the Egh eenth Corps and in Paynes negro division of
The Tenth Corps This latter division charged half mile
across an open field without firing shot, and carried the
rebel works at the point of the bayonet As was to have
been expected cm the fact that they were so long ex
Posed 10 the rebel lire, tn r loss very heavy and
large number of their dead still lying on the field
today.
Inc aggregate loss in the Tenth Corps is between 900

IN Killed, wounded, and missing Of this number about
%oo were captured, 800 wounded 600 killed and the
mainder not yet accounted for.
Behind the works captured the enemy have two very
strong lines defended by double rows of abat and mount
ed with heavy guns, the capture of which, if attempted
will require long and arduous SIEGE and be attended no
doubt with an immense sacrifice of life STILL from the
present disposition of frces it would that even
these difficulties not regarded nsurmountable as
being an nsupeabe obstacle against the approach of
