Secretary Of War for thiowin. ANYTHING in
the way, or til" embarrassment Of vigorously
prosecuting wha: appeared to be my duty.
| Indeed, since the promotion which placed me
! in command Of all the armies. in view Of the
great responsibility and the importance of
success, ! have been a>tonish"l with the read
mess with whicl, everything has been yielded
without cvn any explanation. Should my
success hr less than desire and expect at the
last, can only say that the fault is not with
you. (Sisncd) GRANT.
The JPol rs correspondent lc.cvrs the
report of the peace Letter from jeff. Davis
well founded. Has no doubt that it is now
in the hands Of parties ready to present it to
the Government. Another UoriTs cores
ponlcnt says Lincoln is engaged in rrrpar-
ing a peace proposition to be sent to all our
commanders, one already having been sent to
Sherman.
News from Charleston to the 10Th is to the
effect that firing on the city still continued.
Dcsrricrs report immense damage done. The
rebel commander had refused to allow Foster
to send supplies to our prisoners in Georgia.
Several rebel officers on Morris Island had ex-
pressed desire to take the oath of allegiance.
The Richmond Examiner reports large fire
in Charleston, doubtless the effect Of our
shells.
The HyaTs special says Moscby was
wounded a few days ago in n reconnaissance
towards Aldic. He received pistol
ball in the mouth, passing through the back
part of the jaw. Another in the abdomen in
ilictng n severe wound. The Richmond
Examiner says no was only wounded in the
thigh. and will soon be in the saddle again.
Ncm York, Sept. 23.-Thc HruiTy special
from Sherilan's headquarters below Win
chester the 22d. says The army took pc.
either side of Stratsburg, and our artillery
charged under a deadly fire, gallantly storm
ing and carrying the crest, which had been
fought for unsucccssfully all the afternoon.
This closed the days engagement. Our loss
will probably reach 200. Torbctt with Will
son and Mcrtt's divisions of the cavalry were
sent arounk tho mountains early this morn
ing.
A dispatch just received states that Torbett
had driven the enemy's cavalry from Front
Royal, and 6 miles beyond and that they
were still advancing. Averill is now on the
extreme right of the enemy and develops no
force of consequence in his front during the
afternoon.
Washington. Sept. 2o.-Dispatches to 0
o'clock on tho 2lst have been received from
Sheridan. A portion Of the rebel cavalry hav
ing turned off to Front Royal were pursued,
attacked and driven by our cavalry who were
still pursuing the enemy Tho rebel infantry
made stand ut Flint Hill in strong position
which was attacked by our forces last even
ing. The crest was carried and held by our
troops. (Signcd) STANTON.
Bu6alo, Sept. 23.-Gen. Dix arrived yes
terlay and left last evening for Sandusky to
enquire into the recent rebel plot and take cf-
feciual measures for the future.
IM,ycr's Ferry, Sept. 23-Sheridan has
again beaten Earl at Fishers Hill, capturing
IL guns and many prisoners.
(SigncD STEVENSON.
Chattanooga, Sept. Fisherman. by a
special arrangement with Hood, has effected
an exchange of 1000 prisoners. OF 900 rcb-
els II refused TO be exchanged and took the
oath; of 100 picked men on duty with n flag
of truce at Rough and Ready. 81 were de-
srrters---a fair index Of Hoods army. The
truce between Sherman and Hood will 10 ex
tended several days to complete the removal
OF families.
Sherman. in reply to Hoods charge Of cru
elry in removing non-combattanis. concludes
his letter as follows IF VIC must he
mics, lie, us &c men. fgh, it out as We propose
to-day. and not deal in such hyPocritical aP-
peals TO God and humanity. God willjudg-
us in due time and b. will pronounce whether

women. fenal.s OF brave people at our back.
