NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The Tines cores
pondent at City Point says: About o'clock
Thursday morning the enemy in front OF
Buffers right wing made sortic and were
repulsed. We took about sixty prisoners,
including two officers. The attack was
probably intended to feel our strength, the
fact having doubtless become known that
there were changes taking place yesterday
in the disposition of our troops. On our
sides the casualties were twenty. Elsewhere
in this army all is quiet. ~

TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July IL, 1884,
we shall charge for THE DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of typc-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale of prices
is an increase Of but twenty-five per cent
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
tion and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF "print' and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances

tions to the National Democratic Conven-
ton, are now full, the vacancies existing
yesterday having been filled by the selec-
tion of substitutes. No apparent changes
have occurred in the views of the different
delegations as to the most available candi-
dates, with the exception that Mcclellan
seems to gain strength with New England
delegates.
The session of the New York delegation
last night was prolonged until after mid
night, but although the McClellanites are
in the majority, no definite conclusion was
arrived at, and it was finally agreed to take
the decisive vote ut 8 o'clock to- morrow
morning. Some of the Mcclellan delega-
tions from the East and Pennsylvania, begin
to talk sharply of the course pursued by the
New York delegation. They claim that
Mcclellan has large majority of the whole
vote Of the Convention, and no such vote
can be concentrated ON any choice, and that
If New York would only speak promptly
and emphatically for him, his nomination
would be made by reclamation.
Gov. Seymour continues to hold the po-
sition that he is not a candidate, and this
has led many to declare for Mcclellan who
previously held Seymour as their first
choice. There are many outsiders from
New York, however, who say that Sey-
mouI Has uO rlgub W ueuy MS lrleuub bne
privilege OF using his name, and these are
backed by the ultra peace men, who urge
that Mcclellan Is too much Of a War DEM
ocrat, and that the country needs and de-
mands statesman, a citizen and soldier.
Notwithstanding all this, however, there is
still firm impression that Gov. Seymour
will be chosen President OF the Convention.
and that he will nominate MvClellan; and
it is generally believed that should this
occur, any opposition to him will be too
weak to amount to anything. There Is
some talk that in the event Of McClellan's
nomination bolt will occur, another con-
vention be called and an ultra peace man
nominated. The McClellanites dishelieve
this, but say that should such course be
pursued its only effect will be TO strengthen
their candidate.

From Our Special Correspondent
PADucAu+ KE., Dec. 6, 1861.
Military matters, which lately absorbed the
attention Of our citizens, have quieted down
since the exodus Of Gen. Smiths command,
and this city is now more staid, quiet and
unintercsting than it has been at any time
since the commencement Of the rebellion,
Smiths rcinforccments Of Thomas reached
Nashville in the thick Of timc," narrowly
escaping the attentions Of the rebels while
on the river, and aided materially in carrying
ont the campaign. Although our force In
this city is small, 1t is amply sufficient for our
protection, us well as to keep in check the
rebel forces which we're left to watch Gen.
Meredith and to menace Paducah and Coluu-
bus. Gen. Lyons command consists Of three
skeleton brigadess, probably not more than
2,5uO men in all; but as these arc all mount
ed, they are able to keep the whole border in
state Of alarm and danger. Energy, actisi-
ty and daring now supply the place Of num-
bers in this military district, and our people
may we'll copg1ntu1ate upon such able aud
careful commanders 2 being placed at the head
of our affairs.
Early last week detachment Of colored
troops, under Major Dix. was sent out With
UlQEFS ~ eIotA kAt country from AlQfIag 10
the State line. At Murray they encountered
two companies Of rebel cavalry, whom they
handsomely whipped, killing two, wounling
three, and capturing five. They we're fol-
lowed to the State line, when the pursuit was
discontinued. In the meantime, portion Of
Col Huey's men managed to get In the rear
Of Major Dix, and marching rapidly through
Graves county, struck the railroad at Viola,
eighteen miles from this city, where they
tore up few rails and then started on their
return, robbing and plundering as they went.
Capt. Gregory was soon on their trail, and
ovc1taking them about ten miles beyond 31ay-
field, gave battle at once, although the odds
were feariul1y against him. The rebels SOON
broke md fed, With the loss Of one man kill
cd. one MORALLY wounded, md two taken
prisoners. The rebels captured one Of Greg
ory's men and took him to Weakley county,
Tenn, threatening to hang him. Upon learn
ing this, Gregory Immediately sent two prom
inent secesh citizens to Huey to inform him |
that iflis man was hung, he (Gregory) would
hang In retaliation the two messengers and !
The two prisoners in his possession. His |
threat Lad the desired effect, and the Federal !
soldier was released.
= The Tennessee river has been abandoned !
for the present, and the attention Of thAnavy
is directed toward keeping open the commn-
nicatfon with Nashville by way of the Cum
beraand; which river being in fine stage Of
water, renders 1t a quicker and cheaper mode
Of transportation than BY way Of the Tennes-
see, to Johneouyille, thence BY rail to Nash
gil1e. The rebels were not SLOW to 1earuthIs.
Ind at orce set to work to blockade the river. !
