KNIGHT TowNsHr.-The Union men
in this township are at work with an en-
ergy that must win success. That thor
ough going farmer, Dan. Aiken, Is doing
wonders among his old Democratic
friends. The Copperheads already des-
pair of carrying the township, and have
begun to curse the tnra-cos,s, as they
style the men who think more of coun-
try than party. Never mind, gallant
lads Of Knight, stand by the guns to-day
and victory viii perch upon our banners.

previous days, which may be looked
upon as of the nature of preliminary
operations. This was an q c t / n
which was designed to be decisive
of operations on the present posi-
ton. Three different assaults were
made during the day-at 4 in the
morning, at noon, and at 4 in the
afternoon. Space would fail me,
even if it was possible for you, away
from the ground, to appreciate the
maze Of tactics through which the
bloody action Of Saturday wrought
its way. We gained ground it
brought our front close up to the
rebel lines; but it failed to give us
the coveted position, and after Sc

covering Petersburg.
Since the indecisive engagement
Of Saturday, there has, up to the
hour of writing, been no renewal of
the attempt to carry the city's lines.
Of the prospect | know nothing
more than the suggestions of infer

to that which followed the action at
Coal Harbor; and l hazard the pre-,
diction that you may once more

The War News.

During the past week the army
of of the Potomac has had several
engagements with the enemy. On
Tuesday, the 2lst ult., the I'd corps
moved to IA position between Nor
folk and Petersburg. The enemy
was found in force and skirmishing
ensucd. The enemy's position be-
ing found strong, our advance fell
back to the main body.
On the next day the army was
put in line of battle. 1t is said that
our army is gradually moving round
towards the left, and the grandest
operations of the war are in pro-
gress. The steeples and towers Of
the churches in Petersburgh have
been shot away. Our whole loss
since crossing the James river is re-
ported at 10000, and that Of the
enemy much greater. Gen. Foster
has moved north of James River 8
miles from Richmond, and puzzles
the rebels greatly.
On Wednesday there was a fight
near the Weldon railroad, in which
the number of our loss in prisoners
was about 1000; that Of our killed
and wounded probably 1900. AT
8 o'clock, P. NJ, a charge was made
by the I'd corps, and the line of
works from which they had been
forced in the afternoon was recoy-
cred. We lost scarcely a man in
the charge. A number of prisoners
we're taken. Skirmishing was kept
Up all night along the line.
On Thursday morning the 9Th
,orps moved toward the Weldon
Railroad, driving the enemy before
hem. tits said they are in posses
lion Of the road and will destroy
t Immediately.
On "Wednesday of last week $50 |
wounded soldiers arrived at Bur
ington, and were transported to
he Hospital.
