some desperate fighting at this point, but it
does not appear to have been successful. The
Fedcrals, therefore, have not possession OF the
railroad leading to Burksville from Petersburg,
as heretofore supposed. A similar result at
tended the movement on the north side OF tbs
James. Some advantages were gained and a
few guns were captured; but when the assault
was made on the principal works it proved to
be bloody but unsuccessful We repeat, there
fore, that the advantages gained by the Fed

and these, like the victories OF Sheridan IN
the Valley, have been highly colored by the
officials at Washington for party purposes.

The Campaign in Virginia.

6.om Grants army, the reported success OF
Meade on Friday, is reiterated, but theengage-
pent which closed late in the evening OF that
>day. had not been renewed at s clock Satur"
day morning. On Saturday small body OF
Federal cavalry, supported by two brlgades OF
infantry, was sent up the peninsula and IS
said to have advanced to within few hundred
yards Of the inside line Of works east of Rich
mond. This reconnaissance, it is sald deyel
oped the fact that the Confederates were IN
strong force. At the last adyices the Federal
army was strongly entrenched. The loss IN
Friday fight has not yet, We are told, been de-
fnitely ascertained. 1t is reported that heavy
firing was heard throug bout the whole of Sun
day morning on the north side Of the James
River. In Friday battle, south OF Peters
burg, which, it is admitted, was tiercely con-
tested, the Confederates captured number ct
prisoners. The Richmond papers also an
nounce that Early has won victory In the val
ley over Sheridan, and that the latter was re-
treating The headquarters of Sheridan, on
Saturday evening last, were at Harrisonburg,
but his cavalry went as far South as Staunton
and W aynesboro'. They succeeded, 1t is said,
in destr Dying the bridges at South River and
christina Greek and in doing considerable
damage to the railroad. Sheridan's line OF
communication is beset with guerrlllas, and
such trains as are sent to him have to be heaVl-
ly guarded. -, =,

Friday by the Federals are some four miles
from Petersburg Col. Welch, of the 10th

ment in charge against these works. This
regiment was badly cut up In this engagement.
and lost six out OF nine officers IN Killed and
wounded. :,
The information from the north side of the
James river is to the effect that on Friday the
Confederates made three unsuccessful attempts
to retake the works on Chaplns farm. they
were repulsed each time, aud the FederalS
now hold all the works captured, with the ex-
cention Of small redoubt on the river. In

from tine to time, within the past few months,
various charges Of military tyranny preferred
against Gen. d. A. Paine commanding the
military district Of Padueah, kentucky, and
we now learn that he has lately been relieved
from that post By Gen Solomon Meredith, OF
Indiana, and that the charges against him
have been the subject of investigation by a
military commission The full result OF the
Inquiry is made knowa in an exposition In the
louisville Journal Of Tuesday last. Accord
ing to the Journal, the evidence and aHldavlts
taken, prove the most brutal, arbitrary, and
corrupt conduct of Gen Paine; such as, the
execution of citizens without trial; banlshlng
men, women and children without cause;
turning over houses of innocent people 10 the
occupation Of negroes taxing the people
without law or authority; swindling individ-
uals and the government; cowardlce and inca
pacity; robbery aud larceny; employing agents
to assist him 10 his punderings, and dividing
the spoils with them, &C., &c. The details are
such as we're never before placed On the record OF
any officer They are SO monstrous as to be
scarcely credible. When Gen Paine estab.
lished his headquarters at Paducah, his bag
gage was hauled by an army wagon. When
relieved Of conm1nd, it required eight wagons
to remove his private effects besides six large
boxes shipped by steamboat. Bo.liager, one
Of his tools, is still at large, but Gen. Mere
dith is making arrangements to effect his ar
rest, Major Bsrtling, the provost marshal,
is under close guard. Gen. Paine and his son
are in Illinois, without authority Colonel
MeChesney, another Of Paine's agents, IS IN
Chicago, and orders have been sent to nave
hiunarrestei aud returned to Paducah.
According to speech made In New York
last week, by Mr. Montgomery Blair, 1t would
appear s'that President Lincoln had arranged
with Gen. Grant to bring Gen Mcclellan again
into the field as his adjunct provided the
latter should decline the nomination OF the
Chicago Convention
The National Intelligencer, as the friend and
supporter of Gen. Mcclellan, seizes upon ttls
damaging admission, aud makes this comment:
eve wish the whole American people to
ponder this statement and mark it's significance
they will learn from this public announcements,
made by gentleman who, as member OF Mr..
Lincoln Cabinet, has shared his confidence
in an unsurpasse degree, that both To- Presl-
nent aud Gen. Grant have full confidence IN
Gen. McClellsa 5 military capacity, 1nsomuch
that il had been concerted between Mr.. Lin
coin and the Lieutenant General that General
McClellan should be the adj unct Of the latter.
They will further learn from this extraordinary
announcement that the President has no ob~
j9ctions to Gen. Mcclellan save such as spring
from the position of political rivalry Int into

The War and East Tennessee.

1t will be seen by reference to another column
bat the East Tennessee Relief Society proposes,

|csirablc that sucha werk should be done, while the
fcurrcnccs of the war are yet fresh in the minds of
ieir witnesses and while they who have acted or
ldcred in interesting and memorable scenes still
|irvve. And as there is no Historical Society in
bis part of the country, whose office is is to collect
bd preserve such narratives, there is an obvious
foprcty in the Relief Society undertaking that
|ny although it was not part of its original pur-
|,se, and is not strictly within its sphere.
