The Fight OH Sunday the Hath

Additional particulars have been received
Of the action of Sunday. Past Of the Second
Corps, and part of the Tenth Corps we're en-
gagged with the enemy in the afternoon near
Deep Bottom. The Tenth Corps, under Gem
eral Birney took part Of the line of works
with four inch brass guns and number
Of prisoners, with but small loss. The enemy
fell back to strong position.
The Second Division Of the Second Corps
was drawn up in line of battle and advanced
about a mile beyond where Hancock captured
the four guns Two weeks ago Here the LIST
brigade, Colonel Marcy commanding, took
the lead and charged across cornfeld, over
a hill and down into ravine, where they
came to n stream with q swamp on the other
side, the ground being covered with impene-
trable brush on the margins of it
During all this time they were exposed to a
very heavy fire from the rebe! artillery, which
dld good deal of damage. Twas found i'm
possible to cross the rayine, and our men we're
halted, and lay concealed as well as possible,
until dark, when ihey we're Withdrawn. The
Second division lost at least three hundred
in the engagement The First and Third
Divisions which were in support, lost about
two hundred and fifty men from the effects
Of the reOei artillery. The wounded we're
ell brought off. Our troops still hold their
position in front Of the rebel works, which
are very strong and we'll defended, owing to
the nature of the country in that vicinity.

why the North Gets no MOre
Victories.

For the last year our armies have met with
less success than during any other year of the
war Formerly, defeat was tie exception,
but to-day it is the rule. There are doubtless
many causes for this. among which may be
enumerated the constant changing of com
manders the increased determination, unity
and discipline OF the South want Of respect
for the purposes 10 which the war has been di.
yerted, and, 6ually the change which has oc-
CURED in the morale of the material which
composes our army When the war began,
the hearts Of tho people we're in it men every
where saw the Union in danger Of dissolution,
and they rushed forward to prevent, at the
risk of their livep such fearful result Each
man felt himself charged with the duty of pre-
venting the disruption of this government it
was TO every man a matter of principle, to
sustain which he felt himself bound, if necesa-
~, to give his life. Inspired by such feelings,
men are invincibe
What rendered at that time victory g com
paratively easy task was the fact that then
the South was not confirmed in rebellion. Ac-
tual hostilites were confined to compare.
lively few men the masses Of the South stood
aloof and did not sympathze with the move
meut for disruption inaugurated by dema-
gogues and interruptions leaders. Then the
/ North was united and earnest the South di-
vided and irresolute In such a case victory
gravitated towards the former as certainly as
unsupported matter seeks the earth.
To-day these conditions are reversed to-day
it is the South that is earnest and united the
North that is divided and irresolute. To-day
every man in the South has personal inter.
est in the success of the cause in which he is
engaged at the North there is not a single
volunteer in the army from Fort Smith to the
Potomac, Every soldier in our army to-day
has been bought; we employ no longer ar
dent, enthusiastic volunteers, but mercenaries
who have been purchased at prices ranged
! from three hundred to one thousand dollars
per capita.
1 Will not this fact go far towards explaining
why we now gain so few victories-why every
breeze from the battle field comes laden with
tidiDgs Of disaster We have exactly revers
ed the conditions which existed when the wal
began, and as o consequence, we now meet
with as persistent misfortune as we once mel
with fattering success
II one would End an explanation of this
reversal Of conditions, let him seek it among
those who have changed this war from one IL
which a nation fought to preserve it's existence
to one in which fanslica minority is at
tempting to subserVe its own unrighteous ends

exclusively for the assuagement Of private
