vast columns of our army slowly gathered to;
gather for the great struggle. just % the
attack was about to be made the enemy adj
vanced on Our right, threatening to press back
that portion ofthe line, disconcerting for the
time the plan of assault. Troops were hur-
ried to the right and succeeded in checking
the rebels. Half-past six was then fixed
upon fof file assault. Watches were compared
by the corps commanders. They finally
separated with orders that Ut an appointed
hour, simultaneously, with the fire of l2
guns, the whole line should advance with
cheers, The movement was indescribably
grand. A portion of the army moved in q
solid column, while others advanced in the
usual order of battle; thewhole army moving
together, andyet each command figh ting fits
own battles, when the rebel lines opened
most CALLING and murderous fire against which
our lines marched on, and driving the enemy
steadily back from their position. capturing
nearly 5000 prisoners and 10 pieces Of artil-
lery the latter were, however, recaptured by
the rebels. Night closed with our forces oc-
cupying the field. Our loss is heavy, but
judging from the number of killed and woun-
ded left on our hands, it is much less than
that Of the enemy, who fought to the last with
desperation, our troops bayoneting their men
in the riAe-pits and forcing them by hand
to hand conflict to retreat.
Gen. Torbett's cavelry division whipped
the rebel cavalry near this place, drove them
from Spottsylvania, when, being reinforced
with infantry they drove our cavalry short
distance. The fighting was severe. Tor
bett and Sedgwick were wounded.
On Monday Sedgwick was shot through
the head by sharpshooters.

Secretary Chase's Letter.

The letter Of Secretary Chase, withdraw:
ing his name from the list OF candidates for
the Presidency, gives rise to much comment:
By some the letter is exalted in highest terms
for its patriotism and self-devotiol to the par.
ty and country. But many others look upsn
it with far less charity. It was not resigns
ton of any chances on the part of the worthy
Secretary, for his chances had long since died
out. None knew better than he, that the
voice Of the people is for Abraham Lincoln
and yet you will search his letter in vain for
a single word reimbursement of Mr.. Lincoln.
He seemed to have studiously ignored him
and only referred to him in speaking o: the &C.
ton of the Legislature of his own State a.
"giving preference to another" His friends
in the Senate and elsewhere do not abate ono
partical of their animosity (it matters little),
and seek to justify most of their acts. Sen.
tor Pomeroy boldly fathers his secret circu-
lar and announces the formation of an in
tensely radical platform. He WINGED severely
however when asked If he did not recommnd
the retention of that horror of Missouri add
Kansas radicals, Gen Scho6cld and had to
acknowledge the corn. Sherman of Ohio,
Senator who has been tagging behind in
most Of the important movements of PROCESS
since the war commenced; who refused to
legalize the acts Of the Pesident in necessary
summary proceedings in the early commence
ment Of the war; and who complained that
the Chief Magistrate was too fast. is also one
of the aggreivsd and now bewails the slowness
Of Mr.. Lincoln. He attacks the proclamation
of emancipation as not being what it purports
to be and doubts whether it will stand tho
tests 6fthe Courts. But worse than all these;
Mr.. Sherman disseminates certain Copper
head documents (reviling the Presidency un.
der cover Of his frank. and explains it BY
sayingthat he did not know what they were!
What new phase the Withdrawal Of Secretary;
Chase will put upon political affairs can only
be conjectured. It would b. safe to say, how.
ever, that nearly all Of the Chaseites win n.
turn to Abraham's bosoti, while the few who
refuse to be cpmfor:ed will eudeavo, to rally
