The Journal says despatch received at
the headquarters at Nashville, from Clarks
Vile Tenn, states that Lieutenant Colonel
Booth at Fort Donelson, reports that part
of Forests command, with three guns, sank
steamer and barge loaded with army cloth
ing at Fort Herman, on the Tennessee river
on Saturday. The same despatch mentions
that Captain Cutter, with twenty-five men,

killing two and wounding eight.
1t is rumored that tire hundred rebels are
threatening an attack on Pine Bluff, on the

The Democrat learns that on Gen. Mere

received dispatches from Gen. Sherman and
from Columbus, stating that Forrest intend

Columbus. Scouts and desCrtcrs reported

lcrsvillc. At the latter place heavy supplies
were being accumulated.
All of these places are within fifty miles
of Maysfcld.

night our cavalry was safely Withdrawn from

Army Of ts,e Potomac.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC, Oct. 3d.
The natural quiet has prevailed along the
line to-day. Even picket firing seemed 10
be stopped by unanimous consent. since
the army returned from the late movement
towards the side of the railroad, the regi-
mental and brigade commanders nave oeen
holding inspections, and the commands are
being put in an as effective condition as pc
fore they started.
Oct. 81, 9 a. M.-The enemy attempted TO
play sharp trick on our lines at hall past
nine O'Clock last night. 1t was partially sue
ccesiul, but the maiE object wss defeated,
with considerable loss to them. AT the
point of connection between the 2d and otn
corps pickets they made an entrance, ana
passing from one pos, to another, they pene..
trated the line for some distance, taking all
the men prisoners.
They then sent forward heavy force to
charge the line of breastworks in the hope
of piercing our centre, but one OF the pickets
had effected his escape to the main line aud
gave warning in time for the men to be put
on guard behind the works, aud when the
rebels advanced they received such fire
as to drive them back in confusion and with
heavy loss Repeated attempts were made,
but resulted in like manner, and although
the firing was kept up nearly all night, the
enemy gained no further advantage. Our loss
is put down at 3S7 captured. The casualties
| in killed and.wounded are not known, bni
are very few.
The loss of the enemy must have beer
heavy, as they advanced in range of our bat
teries and infantry lines. 1t was somewhat
dark, however, and of course the firing was
not so effective as it would have been hat
our men had good view of the enemy
At this hour all is quiet.
Major Welsh, of the Sd Penn'a cavalry
on duty at headquarters, has been promoted
to the rank of 1t. Colonel, promotion
which has long been earned and afford
pleasure to his numerous friends.

s45"THE SOLDIERS VoTE.-The elections
in this State and Ohio in October settle one
thing plainly en- ough, and that is, how sol
diers are going to vote. Six to one, on an
average, they go for the Union candidates.
Not that they. who at the time they enter
ed their country's service, fairly represented
all shades of political views, have at that
rate become changed to Republicans, still
less that by any esprit dc c0rps that have re-
solved to vote merely as their commanding
Generals do. If this were the case, there
might be some ground of apprehension for
the future, however agreeable their present
political course might be. But we look
upon The soldiers vote as an expression
wholly beyond the range of ordinary, per
sonal political appliances. 1t is the solemn
verdict of class of men who are, in spe-
cial manner, brought face to face with the
great issues Of our national crisis, and upon
whom the petty politics of the day have lost
their force.
In this light the soldiers vote is a source
ot instruction to us all. 1t teaches that the
men upon whom the heaviest burdens ofthe
war are falling, are the most unanimous Of
all classes against yielding to the Copper
head clamor for a cessation of hosti!ities =
That they who ought to learn first whether
the was is "a failure" declare in body
that it is not, and that the heaviest sufferers
by vigorous prosecution of the war are
the most eagerly and honestly in favor Of II.
