H-A TREND from Sherman's
army, writes us on the nominati on
for Congress in this district, as fol-
lows:
4 hope you have nominated some
good true man in the. District for
Congress. I don't ego much" on
on those officers who are always
trying to get nominated for some
evil effiee. / think if they were as
good men as they are represented to
be, they would remain in the field
and help put down this damnable
rebellion 6rsf, and then claim their
right to run for Office. A man that
will leave the field now, in this our
trying hour for the sake of an Office
Is IN my humble opinion-unfit to re-
.eelve the gifts of tie people. Let
them prove themselves worthy of
being trusted. I, for one, think it
a poor mark Of a good officer to be
"fngleing" around for some civil
Office, while his comrades are facing
the foe.'

EThe 29th day of August is the
day fixed for the Chicago Convention.
The day was well chosen. Benedict
Arnold was born on the 29th day of
August. 1t is fit that conspirators
and traitors should assemble on that
day, to bring about what Arnold
failed to accomplish-the destruction
of tie Government. We now see
why the 4th day of July did not
suit these gentry. The deeds of
Jefferson, Adams aud otl er patriots
on that day might hang heavy on
the souls of the traitors. The Spirit
of Benedict Arnold could be safely
invoked, but even he, if living,
would be ashamed to take sides
with the cowardly sneaks and peace
snivellers, who will form that Con
yention.

by this Department:
ClTY PoINT, Aug. 1880 P. M.
Our troops are firmly across Wei

no fighting to-day either south OF
Petersburg or north Of James river:

Aug. 10, 1864.
The enemy attacked my line in
heavy force last night and were re-
pulsed in great loss. In front of our
colored regiments eighty-eight dead
bodies of the enemy are counted
The colored troops behaved hand
somely, and are in fine spirits. The
assault was made in columns. A div
ision strong could and would have
carried the works, if they had not
been SO well defended The enemy 5
loss was at least 1000.

Gen. Warren moved with his corps
/ this morning to and across the Wei
! don road, about one nile South OF
Head Works. To that he met moth
ing but the enemy's pickets- He
advanced from this forward, meeting
the enemy. r5rlr
| He had considerable fighting dur
ing the day. suffering some loss anC
infiicting loss on the enemy.
Ihave no report showing the eN
tent of our loss, but judge it to b'
light, from dispatches. Some of TIN
enemy's wounded fell into our hands
and few other prisoners.
We have had great deal of rain
about Petersburg this week, and
very grateful change in the tempera
! ture.
CIrY PoINT, August 19-9 p NJ
The enemy came out this evening
to Warren right, driving in tn
pickets connecting between hin
: and the left of our old line, on Jer
usalem Plank Road, and forcini
back the right division of Warren
corps.
5 A heavy fight took place, result

soners were from Hahon's an

4 siderahIy in prisoners.

received this y. NJ, is the lates
received by the Department 1t
estimated that the loss of the enem
during the week, in killed, wounde

of 1000, if it does not exceed tha
