SUNDAY. OCTOBER .. 1854.
TIE NE EW8.
This mornings adv,ces inform Us Of the
defeat of the fourth OF the series OF grand as
saints by Lee On the vital positions at Cha.
of the James river, and commsnding tho
whole Of the inner line Of intrcnchments
around Richmond. Afser. driving in our
-casalry pscksts under K1utz, the rebels for
tho fifth time since their seIge were swept
under the retnoreeless fire o. Fort Harrison,
and recoiled, leaving in killed and wounded
In our hauds-a loss eight times - great ~
our own sustained in resisting the assault
Tho sttaek Immediately previous cost Lee
-four thousaDd men to NO purpose and spread
gloom throughout Rcbuond, the spires OF
which are; plainly visible to our i'd.
vance. The rebel papers have not Jet
arrived with the entire rtsults Of tn.
fifth repulse which seems to have been 1t
least ~ desIslve ss that Of aly Of the Others.
It is evident ttHt Grant has obtained u 10 ot-
hold in the capture Of Fort Harrison, Cha
pins Bluff and New Market Helghta, which
Is the key to the Richmond position, or Lee
would not thus II rtckless]y waste his men In
the attempt to repoastss It. 1t leaves in the
rear Fort Darling and the half dozen for
tlHcaslons surrounding 1t, as we'll Is the thir-
ty forts arouud Petersburg. OF what use
are these With Grant's firm grip fixed upon
poefuon from which, with heavY
siege Cuus, his shells would explode
over jeff Davis' mansion, stastle
the fsw remaining guests who can
afford to board at eight hundred dollars
= week 1t the spottsvood housc, or drop Into
tho United States Custom House as Plcsyune
Buffers contribution to the exhausted Rebel
treasury. While Petersburg enables Grant
to keep tho mass OF Lee's army at L distance
of:thfrty five miles from the rebel capital,
the advance Of Butler's forces are thunder
ing ut the gates Of Richmond. Meanwhile
Gsant's advance to the Poplar sprisg Church
brings him into dangerous proximity with
the south aide road connecting Petersburg
with ,Lynchburg, threatening the
Eecured upon the Weldon Road. The
Richmond papers are calllog for meu-
@.men from anJ whereas 1t is evident that
Less forces are-inadequare to hold his pres
-cnt extended lines" Let them be patient
We are sending the men from iii the North
etn States. Sheridan Is picking up aud
and sending back his prisoners, and closing
up the details Of bis late campaign prepara-
tory to sweep down on the western ap.
proaches Of Richmond. The end is drawing
near. Let none through Want of faith in
God and In the Republic 80 act. or speak, or
~vote, that when they learn that our lag
waves over the rebel capftl they shall blush
with the consciousness of having believed
In, and therefcre aided the triumph OF tres-
soa. "The Union forever. Hurr,h, Boys
Hur1ah!
The Goo Union prlsoners reported By pas-
6eugers from 4ilton Head to have taken the
rebel oath Of allegiance at Charleston, ara
doubtless only employed in the rebel Quar-.
termaster's Department., thus securing better
food and 1ets rigorous confinement. Such Is
the case with some ut Richmond, and this.
1t is limited, Is probably thu fact with those
1t ChaF3eston.
