Another Fierce Fight md IA Glorious
Union Victory.
q Our Special Correspondent.

From Our Special Correspondent
Ii FRONT oP PETEIsBURo. VA,
MONDAY, AUG. p, lea, Z An
have the pleasure Of announcing, this morning,
one Of tho grandest Union victories Of the war.
Yesterday morning, a little after eight o'clock as
had been momentarily expected, the enemy sud-
denly made their appearance in very strong force on
our left flank, west Of the Weldon railroad and
opened upon our position with their artillery This
our forces received behind their works, without
making much demonstration, which encour-
eyed the enemy 70 advance their infantry
lines in grand charge, on the double
quick. These charging lines were allowed to come
within easy musket range Of our works, when our
forces, rising to their feet, poured into them most
terrific FIRE Of musketry, mingled with grape
literally piling the dead and wounded in heaps. The
rear lines broke and preciptatey fed to the cover
of the woods, from which they had just emerged,
but the remnant Of the first line, which were very
near our works, threw down their arms, and, throw
ing their hands, SURRENDERED on the spot, to the
number of three or four hundred. Thus closed
scene first Of the attack.
But General Lee had said to General Beauregard
in the morning, that the Weldon railroad must be
regained that day if it cost every man in his COM
mand; and if our left was SO very strong, there
must be some weak point to the right whore the
left could be cut off 10 itself and captured. So the
Rebel force was gathered up and set TO revolving
along our line to tho right. Soon they found gap
between our Fifth and Ninth Corp, which had
been left for them, and into which they eagerly fell
to encounter part Of the Second Corps, well
back in the gap, and to be closed in on by the
fifth and ninth to the loss of thousand more pri-
soDers and three stands Of regimenta colors. Thus
closes the second and last Of yesterday grand
desperate attempt to regain tho Weldon railroad.
Tbs road is now firmly within our fortified lines,
ant is forever "gono up" far as any future bene
fit o the Rebel Confederacy is concerned.
What the enemy will attempt next in his desper-'
atin is not known, but We are ready for him all
alolg the line. ILLISovIAE.

Had these troops held their position or changed
their front as some did, they could nearly oil have
saved themselves and given the enemy souni
thrashing-but being told they were funhed, they
started for the rear and fell into the hends of the
rebels.
Col. Wheelock, with the Second brigade OF TIC
Third division, changed his front towards Ito rear
and, forming in line of battle with skrnishe9s
thrown out, advanced to sec where the enemy weTc

President Lincoln appended thereto, that he has
been dismissed the army and prohibited from ever
holding Office under the United States Government.
He says that he has no idea that he will lose one

good name is valuable to him not only as regards
those who know him, but those who do not.
So soon, therefore, as he is furnished with copy
of the findings and sentence Of the Court he VIII

leading TO his arrest and trial.
review OF the record in this case and some
commentaries on the report of the Judge Advocate
Geeeral will be presented to the public. With
these he will be content TO submit TO the judgement
of the world as to how far he has been guilty of the
offences charged, and how for he has been the VIC
tim Of conspiracy or false swearing, and mahg-
nant abuse Of official power.
