Eastern News.
Dates to Oct. 4th

The Herald gives an account Of a battle
on the north side of the James, between
Grants and Lees armies, on the 3Oth of
Sept, in which the rebels made an assault
and were driven back with a loss of 1000
killed and 300 prisoners. The fight is pro-
nounced one Of the most desperate of the
war
New York, Oct3.-Thc Trbuue's special
says Our lines (Butler's) now extend from
Chapin's Bluff to White Oak Swamp, a dis
tahoe Of or miles from Richmond From
the bluff we command the enemy's lower
pOntoon bridge across the James. Our en-
tire loss was 700. 1t is reported that Tor
belts cavalry had captured one of Early's
trains beyond Staunton, also reported that
force of rebel cavalry had taken possession
ofGraft0n. We had no force there. The
citizens Of Harrisonburg say, Early had /
pieces of artillery and 10000 men when he
passed that place. At StauntOn he had 2
batteries of pieces each in reserve. His
troops had lost regimental organization and
were retreatiug pell nell for place of safety.
The Herald's tenth corps correspondent
says:
The Richmond papers boast of victory
over Sheridan and say he was retreating.
New York Oct. 4.-The Worlds tenth
corps correspondent says:
Birney again pushed fearlessly up to the
very outskirts Of the city and was only pre-
vented from entering and taking possession
because his orders would not permit him
This morning, Gen. Terry's division and
Kautz's cavalry made a reconnaissance to as
certain the rebel strength in the immediate
vicinity Of Richmond. They advanced with
considerable skirmishing on the central road
to within three miles Of Richmond, when the
rebels opened with artillery from their main
works. Disregarding this they drove the
rebel skirmishers inso their works at Sharp's
House, two miles from Richmond These
works are very formidable and similar to
those in our front at Laurel uiiE They
mount heavy guns but are manned by mill
