Startling Rumors in Washington
Rebel Movements i'm Northern
Virginia-.Gra late Movement. I.

New YORK, August 26.-The Worlds
special from Washington says: Startling
rumors are afloat in reference to impending
movements of the rebel forces in Northern
Virginia. 1t is said large rebel column is
moving down east of Blue Ridge, and Ear
ly, if he crosses the Potomac at all, will
cross near Edwards ferry, or certainly some
place below Point of Rocks. and make a
dash on this city. From the means oftrans-
portation which is said to be in readiness
for bringing troops hither, infer Grant can
easily thwart any attempt Of the rebels to
move against Washington. t...
Persons OF known secession proclivities
here claim that contrary to the opinion
generally expressed by the northern press,
the movement of a portion of Grants forces
on the northern side of the James was not
a feint, but bona fide attack on Rich
mond from the East, and that the attack on
the Weldon railroad was only feint to
draw off attention from other movements.
This supposition, it is claimed, explains
why our forces found no rebel troops on the
line of the Weldon railroad, Lee having
discerned at once the strategy of Grant,
Hancock is reported by secessionists to feel
very sore about the recent heavy losses in
his corps, he having understood that he
was to have been supported by at least one
more corps.

We call upon the Democracy every
where, to prepare for the extraordinary
campaign that is just at hand.
THE ONO STATESMAN will continue to
defend the Constitution against the assaults
of all its enemies. Tt will in the future as
in the past be found battling for the Rights
of the White Man, in opposition to all Dis
anton Abolition TRAITORS. 1t will give an
energetic and vigorous support to the
movement for Peace and the Restora-
tion of the Union. 1t will wage an eternal
warfare against usurpation and tyranny in
every form; it will oppose arbitrary ar
rests, and advocate the Freedom of Speech
and of the Press. In short, it will give to
the Nominees of the Democratic National
Convention most earnest and cordial sup
port; and oppose with all its power the i'm
beetle and contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts of
Tyranny and Usurpation attempting to
fasten upon this people Despotism more
degrading than that of the worst Despot
who ever disgraced a throne in the Old
World or the New.

campaign, at least. Send for specimen

From Mobile.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Herald has
the following from Fortress Monroe, Aug.
boat Connecticut which left there on the
18th inst, at sunset. At that time the stu
alton was unchanged. The Iron-clads and
Fort Morgan were engaged, but not very
severely. Farragut, on his flagship, was
inside Mobile Bay. The wooden ships
were repairing damages. Fort Morgan
was very closely invested by the navy and
military forces. Gen. Candy was with
Farragut on the 18th inst, in consultation.
Everybody scenes anxious for the final
blow to be struck, and the days of Fort
Morgan are certainly numbered. The
greatest activity prevails among the fleet,
and the health and spirits of the men are
first rate.

Lively Times in Sheridan's Depart
ment--Heebels Attempt 10 Cross

New YORK, Aug. 26.-The Tribune has
the following special:
HARpER's FERRY, Aug. 25.-Brisk can
nonading was heard from eleven till one
o'clock on our extreme right. 1t has since
been ascertained that our forces met and en-
gagged the enemy near Kearneyville. Result
not yet known.
At 4:30 firing on the right again broke
open, and at this hour (5 O'clock) continues
briskly. With this exception all has been
quiet along our front during the day.
A special to the Times from Washington
says: The right Of Sheridan's line, held by
Wilson's cavalry division, was this morning
advanced and met the enemy in severe
engagement, which continued up to the
time of the departure of the train from
Harper's Ferry. The attack was made in
consequence of a movement on the part of
the enemy showing design of crossing the
Potomac, by a turning movement on the
right wing of Sheridan's position. Atlatest
adyices the action still continued.

Rebel Papers Acknowledge Heavy
Loss ON tlie Weldon ROad-They
Report n Riot i'm New Orleans.

New YORK, Aug. 26.-Richmond papers
of the 23d contain accounts of the last rebel
assault on WarIen's lines on the Weldon
railroad. They say: We have met with a
repulse costing us many brave man, but
the affair is not over. Brig. Gen. Saunders,
of Ala, was killed; Gen. Lamar, of Fla,
mortally wounded; Generals Barton, Fin
negan and Anderson, of Ala, wounded.
Grants plans on the Danville road are now
revealed, and all the energy and gallantry
of the armies under Lee and Beauregard
will not be too much to beat back this bold
movement to the south of Petersburg.
According to Petersburg papers the Pc
tersburg & Lynchburg railroad is consider
ed in danger.
A dispatch from Mobile, Aug. 2lst, says:
The operator at Jackson, Miss, telegraphs
that great riot had broken out in New
Orleans, in which over four hundred citi-
zens had been killed, caused by Candy at
tempting to enforce the draft. The negro
troops were called out to suppress it, but
at last accounts it was still raging.

THE CITY.

A DESIRABLE SUBsTIrUTE.--The Detroit
substitute brokers on Tuesday had lively
time In securing substitute. One ofthem
engaged big Scotchman to enlist for $500.
A number of brokers heard of the prize and
made larger offers. After sharp squabble
it was agreed to divide the spoils, and the
squad of "owners' of the man marched him
off TO the Provost Marshal's office. There
he was pronounced as having the small pox,
and the brokers fled in terror. Another lot
OF brokers subsequently got possession of
the "subject" and, disbelieving the small
pox story, took him in hack to st. Mary's
Hospital for examination. There the fact
of his having the small pox was confirmed,
and the second crowd Of brokers fled in
greater terror than the first, the driver of
the hack joining in the flight. The brokers
are in danger of losing their business, as
people are afraid to have dealings with men
from whom so loathsome disease may be
communicated.

New YORK, Aug 20--The Herald's spe-

The Chattanooga Gazette of the 23d inst.
reports that the rebel General Wheeler was

To SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July IL, 1864,
we shall charge for The DAILY ONO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost Of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale of prices
is an increase of but twenty-five per cent
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
tion and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF "print' and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances

The AbolitiOnists frightened
coin TO Withdraw - FremOnt's


BosroN, August 26.-Several prominent
Abolitionists, including Eleazur Wright
and S. G. Howe, have written to Gen. Fre-
mont, speaking of the dissatisfaction in the
Republican ranks and advising that the
Baltimore and Cleveland nominees both
withdraw their names as Presidential can
didates and that new Convention be
called to select new candidates. Fremont
replied at length, remarking that he does
not feel at liberty to withdraw his name
without first consulting the party who
nominated him; but suggests that a direct
effort be made to obtain an immediate un-
derstanding between the supporters of both
nominees In order that they may coalesce
and unite upon such convention. In this
letter Fremont says: Much has been said
about peace. For me, peace signifies the
establishments of the Union without slavery;
because slavery is the source of all our po-
litical dissensions, and because the institu-
tion itself is condemned by the enlightened
and liberal spirit of the age. These are to
me the essential conditions of peace.

POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF THE WEATH-
ER.-Among other freaks Of the wind storm
last evening, the breaking down Of the
enclosure on Rice's lot on High street. will
be felt the most by the curious public, as 1t
compells the postponement OF the contem-
plated balloon ascension by Prof. Brooks,
which was to take place to-day. The affair
will come of at an early day, and due no.
tice will be given hereafter.

slight skirmishing.

reduced within the past few days. !

railroad has rendered Grants army more
confident of success than it has been at any
time since the campaign opened. tf

DRAFT MEETING IN THE Ninth WARD
A meeting of the Ninth Warders was held
last evening at Powelps Exchange, at
which Gen. S. W. Andrews presided, and
John Carroll acted as Secretary, the OBJ
ject being to consider measures by which
to exempt the Ward from the coming con-
scription. After consultation by which it
became evident that the Ward could be got
out of the draft, if a sufficient sum Of
money could be raised, it was re-
solved to call upon each citizen of the
Ward liable to draft to contribute
$50 before Monday next to a fund
for the purchase of recruits. If the men of
the Ward liable to draft will come up
promptly with the requisite amount the
men can be procured, and it is hoped all
who are able will at once pay the sum-
Several exempted men have already con-
tributed very literally to the fund, and the
prospect of success in the undertaking is
cheering. Mr.. Daniel Carmichael was cleo
ted Treasurer of the ward fund. The meet
lug adjourned to convene again at the same
place tonight, and it is hoped there will be
a full attendance.
