Washington special says: Gen. Butler had
an interview with the President to-day, and
it is already reported that he has been as
signed to command an important expedi-
ton, and that he will not return to the
Army of the James. His speech in New
York is warmly commented.
Richmond papers say Sherman was at
Atlanta on the 7th. No allusion to his
movements since then can be found in the
files received, nor can it be seen that they
offer any advice preparing the public for
startling news of his operations.
The Florida has been ordered to New
York for disposition in the prize courts.
1t Is denied at the Treasury Department
that Mr.. Walker will replace Mr.. Fessenden
before Congress meets. This does not dis
pose of the rumor that he will succeed Mr..
Fessenden after that event.

be announced. 'r.'

At the Republican State Convention, at

style:
"That great man, Old Abe Lincoln, isa
special gift from God Almighty, and, II we
reject him in this Convention, we reject
God Almighty. He is Gods anointed, and
he has now got TO hang on to the freedom
of the slave or God Almighty; !fhe let's SO
of either, he is goner (Roars Of laughter.)
l am John Brown abolitionist, (great ap.
plaus,,) and I believe that God Almighty
has appointed Old Abe as the means Of car :
rying out His mission as begun by that
glorious man John Brown! CLong applause.)
-Old Abe moves slow, and 1t is because
Col Almighty gave him such long legs
(great laughter); but he has an awful big
foot(great laughter }; and, when he puts it
down, it STAYS THERE, and never slips back
ward" applause and laughter.)

About P. NJ, the enemy gave signs Of
activity and soon moved in a heavy body
en-masse from the woods before Mop Pherson's g
army and Harrow's division. They march
ed boldly up the hill exposed to severe
artillery fire, and when they had reached
less than 100 yards of the breastworks our
infantry poured upon the thick mass hor-
rible volley. The column staggered but
were rallied, fred, and made efforts to ap-
proach closer. The troops now became
hotly engaged, and though the rebels greatly
outnumbered US, they were held at bay.
Our artillery secured better position and
with shrapnel and she'll soon sent the rebel
mass aushing for the protection of ravine
and wood near by.
Another attack was soon made upon an
other portion of McPhersons line command
ed by Gen. Osterhaus. Though made with
even more impetuosity, it met with the
same fate. A lull ensued but the rebels
were brought up for the third attack, still
against Mcpherson and Sweeney's division
Of the 10th corps. They first presented the
same bold front, but it did not last as long
as they were demoralized and were sent
back with severe loss. .g
From prisoners we learn that the rebels
consisted of five divisions, the aoWer OF
Johnston's army, commanded by Cheatham
Clebourn and Bates.
Five hundred will cover our total losses Of
the day.
The rebels hurled divisions against 3 Of
ours. H. tE ...t.
