Indications are from what returns we have received

election, being handsomely defeated in the first Dis

SUNDAY MoRslSG, Sept. II. lso4.'
The little affair of the Second Corps, on the
PLANK Road" in front Of Petersburg night before last
is considered Of the prettiest little aars Of the
war. AS have said, the Rebel picketline at this
point was so close to works that they could hear
nearly everything that WINS going behind the works,
rendering their near neighborship extremely annoying
although they very friendly and peaceable the
family secrets OF army could hardly be kept from
them Some Of boys complained tbatthey could not
even take q social game Of poker behind the works
without the danger of having the Rebel pckets looking
over their shoulders. Besides IL was 3ppretended that
the enemy might possibly undertake to explode another
one OF their awkward mines spelling the beauty OF TIC
andscapc in front Of our works.
So according to previous arrangement the 18th Penn
sylyania Regiment Col Byles and the Goth indiana
Regiment Lieut. Col Michael. commanding, a little
after midnight night before last, advanced over ou
works on the double quick and cnt the ReDel plcke
