Oct. 2-Evening. fighting occurred on
this line to-day. The rebels this morning fell
back to their main line of works which run to
the South Side road from the Lead Works.

easily be carried. i

Warus the B0yntOn Road over which the enc

back before our troops. Near the BOynton
Road very formidable line of works was
found behind which the rebels were posted in
heavy force
1t was not deemed advisable to attocl, and
we fell back and occupy strong position We
lost few in wounded In the advance.
Our loss on Friday was greater than at first
stated.
We lost in wounded about 200, over one half
Of whom were captured. This occurred in
consequence of a gap between part of the 9TH
and 9th corps, through which the enemy
charged and fanked the I'd division Of the 9th
corps.
A shell grazed Gen. Meade's boot, took a
piece from the tail of Gen. Humphreys horse,

When asked what paper they read, if the

When asked what paper they read, If the
answer was, "The Louisville Journal, -
the parties were denounced as cd reb-
els of the meanest kind" Lucien Ander-
son and Major Bartling, Provost Marshal
of Paducah, in procuring the release of
Ashbreok, Ryan and Co., (whose store
had been closed by order of Gen. Paine)
from arrest, received Il check for 81 800,
which was jointly shared by the two par =
ties. Prince & Dodd, acknowledged Union
men, paid the same parties 5000 each, to
be released from arrest and save their
goods from oOnfiscatiOn. L. I. Bradley,
master of the steamer Convoy, craft be-
longing exclusively to the Government,
and used only for Cove .nment purposes,
on the LIST of August was ordered by Gen.
Paine to proceed down the river and act
according to the orders of John T. Boil
niger. At Hickman seventy-five soldiers
were obtained for fatigue duty, who placed
eighty-four bales of cotton and twenty
seven hogsheads of tobacco on board,
when the steamer returned to Cairo and
discharged the freight. Bollinger claimed
the cotton and tobacco as his private
property. The commission are prepared
to prove that this man Bollinger, who
was General Paine's right bower in all of
bis swindling transactions, is one Of the
most corrupt men in the country, and has
been for months acting as an agent for
guerilla bands in Southern Kentucky, re-
ceiving stolen funds, furnishing informa-
ton, &c. When Gen. Paine established
his headquarters at Paduca his baggage
was hauled by an army wagon. When
relieved of command, it required eight
wagons to remove bis private effects, be-
sides six large boxes shipped by steamboat
Bollinger is still at large, but Gen. Mere
dith is making arrangements to effect his
arrest. Major Bartling, the Provost Mar
shall, is under close guard. Gen. Paine
and his son are in Illinois, without author
ity. Col McOhesney is in Chicago, and
orders have been sent to have him arrest
ed and returned to Paducah.
We have here given but few of the
facts developed before the commission.
The official testimony is very voluminous,
and in the course of ten or twelve days it
will be laid before the public. We are in
debted for our statement to the kindness
OF Co.. Craddock, who was present, and
assisted the commission in its labors. No
word as comment is needed from US.

Heavy Fighting and Severe LOsse
North OF the James River.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-The HeralTs 10th Army
Corps correspondent says of the operations of
that Corps in the advance on Richmond:
The Corps camped at o'clock P. N. On the
the James at daylight on the 29th. Immedi-
ately ON advancing they met the enemy and
skirmished up the roads, and across the fields
till near the New Market Road.
This road was occupied by the enemy who
were strongly entrenched on the heights, and
our advance was strongly contested.
The position in addition to being of strong
natural character, was made doubly formidable
by an almost impenetrable forest which COW
cred the slopes.
The colored troops under General Paine
were ordered to carry this position. Their
charge was one of the grand features of the
operations of the day. They never halted or
faltered, though their ranks were sadly thinned
as they advanced.
The successful accomplishment of their task
put the enemy to confusion, and sent them
rapidly down the read toward Richmond. Gen.
erals Grant and Butler came on the field dur
ing the struggle and were enthusiastically re-
ceived by the troops When the former rode
along the lines the shouts and cheers of the
men were beyond example.
Three miles above the rebels have very
strong work, but Birney pressed his advantage
and pursued the retreating rebels so closely
that they could not stop to reform in this work.
These works crossed the Newmarket road
Just beyond the Laurel Hill Church and their
guns swept the roads in all directions.
Gen. Birney at once determined to carry
such of these works as lay in his front by gen.
eral assault, accommodating the ground him
self amid storm of shells that I have never
seen surpassed. They were met with MUIR
derous fire of grape and canister, and unceas-
ing volleys of musketry that wrought terrible
havoc in their ranks, still, unflinchingly, they
held their way.
In crossing an intervening crest of open land
they were exposed to frightful enfilading fire
of artillery, and the casualties were terrible,
still the line pressed forward. On approaching
the re1Oubts they were found even more for
midable than at first supposed. A perfect
abattis held them at bay while the rebel in
fantry literally moved them down. The forts
were surrounded by broad ditch eight feet
deep into which some of the cOlOred troops
leaped only to find themselves penned in with
no door of retreat
These works had no sallyports and were ac-
cessible only by drawbridges across the bitches,
and these of course were drawn up. The line
was withdrawn to the further side OF the crest,
which position was held until night, when Q
demonstration was made against the works in
the ditch In which our men were cOoped up,
thus giving them an opportunity to escape,
though an advance of One-half to twO-thirds Of
q mile was accomplished. 1t cost us dearly.
The corps lost over 500 men in killed and
wounded.

On Monday, at 8 A. NJ, our forces were at
Waynesboro. No damage had been done up

ed they were burning the railroad track be-
tween Christian Creek and Staunton.
No direct communication has been had With
Gen. Sheridan for several days. Couriers to

tured by the guerillas that infest his rear.
Dispatches to $40 last night have been re-
ceived at Atlanta but no movements at that
point are reported.
From Nashville our dispatches are to $50
last night The enemy did not attack Pulaski
but took the pike towards Fayetteville and
was pursued by our cavalry, Gen. Rosseau re-
turning with his infantry to Nashville. Des-
perate efforts will be made by the enemy to
force Sherman from Atlanta by destroying bis
communications.
The draft is quietly progressing in all the
States, but volunteer enlistments being more
speedy than the draft, all loyal and patriotic
people should urge forward rapid enlistments
in order to reinforce Sherman and enable him
not only to hold his position but also to push
on his campaign.
