Another Battle Probable.

NEW YoRK, Sept. lO.-The Herald's City
Point correspondent of the 9Th, says deser-
teFs and prisoners brought in within day
or two, state that Gen. Lee has moved his
head quarters from Richmond to the neigh
borhood of Ream's Station on the Weldon
rail road, with the sVoWed intention Of Civ
ing battle. II this prove true we are prOba-
bly, on the eve of another terrific contest.
Our preparations for the offensive and de-
fensive are admirable, and Lee will have to
select between allowing Us to retain Occu-
patton of the Weldon rail road or attack
lug our entrenched positions.
The HerHld's correspondent with the 9th
corps, dated the 9Th, says yesterday morn
ing at o'clock the rebels made an attack
upon one of the advance pickets of part Of
the 9th corps driving them in upon the line,
Wounding one and capturing eleven.
The Herald's correspondent with the 9th
corps, of the 7th, says Gen Grant visited
Gen. Wilcox's front line to. day viewing
the recently constructed works. A branch
rail road between that and City Point will
be in operation in few days, and every
point of the line, dispensing with the here
tefore difficult transportation of stores
over the lengthy, torteous aud high roads.
The feature of this new road is that it runs
up hill and down hill without any refer
ence to the time honored requirements of
grading, 30. The road is now in operation
to the Jerusalem plank road.

n@FEDERAL GoURT--JUDGE JOHN ].
JACKSON, JR., PREsID1Ns.-Upon the meet
ing of the Court yesterday morning the
Judge rendered decision upon matter
of some Importance in relation to the de-
tsntion of reasonable papers and CORES
pondence in post offices. 1t appears that
the Grand Jury have information that the
most master at Parkersburg has detained
in that Office, by the authority of the COM
mander of the post, and upon what he
oopceives to be his duty under Instructions
from the Post Office Department, certain
uspers addressed to rebel sympathizers.-
The Jury asked instructions from the court
as to whether it is their duty to pre-
sent the post master. The Judge said
that when a section of the country was IN
a condition to be governed by the civil au-
thorities then the military power smust
always be subordinate thereto, and that it
was the duty of the post masters who may
discover reasonable correspondence or
publications to report the facts to the dis
trict attorney that the same may be inVes-
tigated and the offenders punished. There
was clearly no law justifying the post
master in OBTAINING any such packages. On
the contrary the law provided for the pun
isbment of such offences. However much
the court might differ, as it certainly did,
with the sentiments of certain newspapers
published in the loyal states, there was no
authority in law for their detention and
the court was bound so to decide. 1t was
not for the court to say whether the post
master at Parkersburg should be present.
ed. 1t was the duty of the Jury to ascer-
tain the relation existing between the civil
ond military authorities at Petersburg at
the time the newspapers were Detained
1t was also the duty of the jury to inquire
whether or not the papers detained were of
q reasonable character. Being satisfied
that the post moster. acted in accordance
with what he thought to. be his duty and
upon what he supposed to be proper au-
thority, in the event of presentment by
the jury, the court will advise the district
attorney not to persist in the prosecution
of the case.
I'VE understand that the Grand Jury
dismissed the case.
The trial of Woodruff, charged with OBJ
structing the Board of Enrolment, was
resumed. After the evidence was taken
the case was argued by Gen. Wheat for the
prisoner and Col. Smith and ]. T. Chandler,
ESQ.,, for the Government. After an alb
sence of few minutes the jury returned
verdict Of. not guilty.
