and his .'grand army Gamma the in
telligent Richmond correspondent of the
Mobile News. writing under date OF the 3lst
August, says;
II is too soon vet to divulge certain facts
in regard to the defence Of Petersburg and
Rchmond which have hardly been suspcc-
ted, even in this city. Not TO he mistcr-
Gus, these facts relate to the heroism Of the
defenders and the skill of their Generals,
aud whenever made known they will rouse
the admiration of our people to the point of
enthusiasm, while at the same time they
will present Master Grant in II most ridicu-
Ions ight before the world and even before
the nation which was once so blatant IN his
praises. The theory advanced by the Wing,
that Grant is secretly in collusion with the
Confederatcs, would be substantiate by the
facts in question, were it not for tile addit-
ional fact OF his brutel shelling OF Peters,

CAPTURE OF A REBEL Doc CARRYING DIS
pAroHEs-An officer who came up from
CITY Point to-day had with him an ugly
looking specimen of the genius canine,
which he guarded very carefully. The dog,
it appears, was great pet with both our
own and the Tebel pickets in front Of Han
cocks corps. The dog had been trained to
carry messages between the pickets. A
rebel paper would be klaced in his mouth
and he would scamper off to the Union
lines deliver up the paper, ard return with
a Northern paper. He has been Entrusted
with packagesl of coffee and tobacco, and
always delivered them promptly and safely:
The rebs, however, tried TO make use Of
him for transmitting information from ose

General Steyenson's division which was

confusedly, compelling the remainder OF

Gen. 0rswford's 'disisianrsaflsred severely

the whole front of it, so AZ 10 take the en-
envy by the flank.
This moyeInent was executed with bra
very and skill and resulted in the complete
repulse of the enemy with grca; slaughter.
After this check the enemy did nordisturb
the left any further.
Perfect quiet prevailed in front OF our
centre and right throughout the latter part
of the forenoon, and the whole afternoon
Toward dark, however, the enemy having
shifted from his right to his left, suddenly
fell upon the extreme right of our right
wing. 1t consisted of General Milroy's old
brigade, whose command had been assumed
only the night before by Gen. Seymour
Our men were engaged in building up m
trenchments at tho fire; the enemy pushed
upon them before they bad time 10 form
and almost the whole brigade was swallow
ed up by the rebel line. Part of General
Shaler's brigade, on Gen. Seymour'S leit,
shared the fate Of the latter. Both Gener-
ais were captured. This successful plan
ming movement threatened great peril e.
the whole army, but General SedswicE
succeeded, by personal exposure, and the
energetic efforts Of himself and staff, in con
finine the rout to his extreme right. There
was grave apprehension at the 'xcnera
headquarters that this success OF the rebels
might enable the enemy to reach our rear.

their advantage, but abandoned the gr0ant

Our army to day has certainly achieved
