THE WAR FOR THE UNION.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
August 27th-l0. 20 A. NJ.

f0 lHoI Gen. DEE, Ae5o I0fh
On Thursday, the 25th. General Hancock, who
was south of Ream's Station, ON the Weldon
Railroad, was attacked several times during the
day, but he repulsed the enemy In every assault
At half-past five P NJ on Thursday combined
attack was made upon his centre and left, which,
after one Of the most desperate battles of the war
resulted in the enemy withdrawing from the field,
leaving their dead and wounded on the ground =
The details are given in the following brief official
reports of General Grant, General Meade and Gen
eral Hancock
SECOND ARMY Corps, August 26-a 80.
70 General Humphreys.
The attack about s. so was probably intended to
be simultaneous by Wilcox on my centIeand Heth
on my left The enemy formed in the woods, and
placed their artillery in position and opened a
heavy cannonade lasting about fifteen minutes
and then assaulted General Miles force He re-
sisted tenaelousy, but the enemy broke his line
Some of General Gibbons troops were hurried
over to repair the damage, and the enemy only
gained slight foothold, They soon attempted @
my extreme left, driving Gibbons division from
his line. His men had been much Wearied rush
ing over to the aid of General Miles and back, du-
ring the repeated assaults
General Gibbons succeeded however, in form
ing strong line, and the enemy, who we're pres.
sing on with great enthusiasm, were severely
checked by the dispounted cavalry under Gener
al Gregg, which he handled handsomely.
General Miles was thus enabled TO regain most

eIares that peace can only be obtained by the With

they would have. Proposals for Peaoe.will be re-
ceiyed by their Gdyernment from ours only upon
the basis Of independence.
As the American people will scarcely agree to
negotiations upon the grounds Of secession. said,
as we here haye it from the great apostle of seces-
sion himself, that no other will be received, we
may as well make up our minds TO the fact that a
peace must be conquered, that this thing must be
fought out. and the earlier the better.

The Defeat of the Democracy, the Defeat Ct
tha Rebels.

A deeply interesting document IS given on our
FIRST page, in the form Of letter from General
Seymour, late prisoner in the hands of the reb
els This paper gives remarkable clear insight
into the condition of things beyond the rebellnes
The important fact is made manifest, that the last
hope Of the rebel lies in the possible success Of
the Democratic party Of the North. That party
is the staff upon which rests their only surviving
faith. With the failure Of that party despair
would seize fast hold upon their hearts, and the
war would soon close with their submission. The
defeat Of the Democracy is, therefore, the defeat
Of the rebellion. Says General Seymour speak
ing Of the rebels fears aud expectations
.'Buta single chance remains, and that IS the
result of our next election for President. Ii d
Democrat succeeds to Mr. Lincoln, they profess
to feel sure Of negotiations, and of their con
federacy They believe a Democrat will be elect
ed liz Mr.. IIncon's reelection they see only
sUbjagation, annihilation, for the war must then
continue and continuanc@is their failure and
Tuin
Again, speaking Of the hopes and desires OF
the Contederates, General Seymour arrives at
most sensible conclusion in the following remark
In military affairs it IS an excellent rule never
to do what the enemy desires--lt IS not equally
trus,in politics Certain it IS, that The only re

The Rebel Idea Of Peace

The following from the Richmond E;ran,i,ler,
one Of the organs Of the rebel government ehus
delivers itself as to the rebel idea of peace It's
in exact keeping with all that has gone before on
the same subject and ought to satisfy certain
Northernjo journals Of the wckedness Of their course
byprinting week after week fierce datribes against
the Government ofthe United Strtes, for not sn4f
ing the war by the conclusion of peace, which the
rebels are anxious to do; and in order to show
some shadow Of probability, they add Intentionally
garbled and untruthfGl extracts from rebel papers
The least the peace-loying, and if there are any,
the t'uth loving journals in the North can do, is
10 copy the Ecamoers paragraph on the iubject,
and for once let their readers know the rebel idea
