Sheridan or the Weldon railroad, fearing q
blow from Grant there. We have, howev-
| er, captured 300 or 400 prisoners. and Is
pieces of artillery. The 18th corps under
Birney, advanced from Deep Bottom about
the same time that Ord moved up to the
New Market road, and carried the entrench-
ments with ease. The rebels showed but
little disposition to contest the ground.
They appeared to be completely surprised.
Of subsequent movements of our forces
nothing was known ct City Point and there
was nothing to indicate that the advance Of
Ord or Birney had been checked.
3 tits confdentially believed at City Point
that the rebels have withdrawn large
number of troops from the defence of Rich
mond and sent them up the valley to aid
Early. This being the case Ord and Birney
can make considerable progress before the
rebels can concentrate their forces. On
Wednesday night the rebels made furi'
Gus attack on our advanced earthworks in
front of Fort Sedgwick, on the jerusalem
plank road, these entertainments were held
by portion of the second brigade, third
division, ninth corps, and the rebels were
handsomely repulsed with considerable loss.
These are the works we captured from the
rebels several weeks ago, and this is the
second unsuccessful attempt of the rebels
to retade them. The troops that attacked
the fort We're commanded By Colonel Rus-
sell. Fort Sedgwick opened fire on the
rebels and accelerated their retreat. Rus
sell had his men in line Of battle two min
utes after the attack.

speech at Salisbury. North Carolina, and
said that, though reverses had befallen
them, the spirit 8of the Confederacy was
unbroken, and it would yet bring peace and
independence from hated foe. He called
on all to enter the army, and urged the
women to marry no men who shirked the
duties of soldiers.
The Charleston. Courier of the Odd inst,

An agreement hes been effected between

Sept. 2S.-Evening-Five deserters came
in last night and gave themselves up TO the
colored pickets Of the 18th. Rebel soldiers
do not show so much antipathy to colored
soldiers as formerly. Some time ago they
made rule to fire upon these soldiers when
ever they made their appearance, but now
they do not fire on them any more promptly
than our white soldiers.
These deserters are also willing to accept
rations from our colored soldiers and will
sit and eat with them.

SOME of the opposition Journals are so
violently in favor of peace, that they cannot
tolerate the mild and milky beIligerency of
Gen. MCCLELLAN. Thus the CatskiU, On "
Recorder, an ardent Democratic sheet says:
We know where Mcclellan stands; he Is
for war; for more vigorous prosecution of
the war He is for more CONSUMPTION, for
more taxes, for doing Lincoln's work more
thoroughly than Lincoln is doing it, Let
any Democrat put the record thus deliber-
ately made by Mcclellan with his agency in
the infamous arbitrary arrest Vi the Mary
land Legislature, and then say if he has not
seen enough to cure him of all desire TO see
such man in the Presidential chair
