GRANT.
WASHINGTON, August Is, $50 p. NJ.
Major General Dir, New York
A despatch from General Grant, dated Mon.
day, the 10th, $50 p. m, detained by the break
ing OF the telegraph line, has just been re-
cetyed. He reports that the fighting north OF
the James river to-day (16th) has resulted
favorably to US so far as it has gone, but there
has been no decisive result.
The enemy has been driven back some what
from their position of this morning, with
considerable loss in killed and wounded, and
about four hundred prisoners. The well ones
were left in our hands. Two brigadier gen.
erals-Chamblin and Gherrard-were killed
and their bodies left in our hands. We also
have quite a number of wounded prisoners;
Since moving north Of the river, our losses
will probably reach near one thousand killed
and wounded; many, however, only slightly
wounded, owing to so much Of the fighting
taxing place in thick woods. The enemy have
lost about as many that have fallen into our
hands.
SHERMAN.
The Department has intelligence from Gen
Sherman to half-past IL last night; but no OPP
erations are reported.
SHERIDAN.
a dispatch from Gen. Sheridan at Winches-
ter, dated August IL, 10 H. IA, reports that
General Merritt's division Of cavalry was at
lacked yesterday afternoon on the north side
OF the Shenandoah by Kershaw's division, OF
Longstreet's corps, and WIekham's and Lo-
max's brigades of cavalry. After very hand
some cavalry fight, the enemy were badly
beaten, with a loss Of two stands OF colors,
twenty. four officers, and two hundred and
seventy six men prisoners.
In later dispatch, General Sheridan says
the cavalry engagement in front Of Front
Royal was splendid. 1t was on open ground
The sabre was freely used by our men. Great
credit Is due to Generals Merritt, Custar, and
Colonel Divins.

Knoxville, Saturday, March u, 1864.
The Election on Saturday Last.

The votes east in this county on Satur-
day last amounted 10 about thirteen hun
dred, againsl about thirty three hundred in
times Of peace, OF coarse an allowance of
many hundred voters is to be made on ac-
count Of the men in the National army, and
several hundred on account of the rebels
who are in the South, These causes, how
ever, are not sufficient to account for the
small number Of votes, We think the
rebels generally kept away from the polls
There were good many unialtering Union
men who did not vote because they did not
like to take the oath of GOV. JOHNSTON, not
that they objected to anything in the oath,
but because they were required to take any
kind of an oath before voting. They in
sisted that their record was a spotless one
politically, and that the taking an oath of
loyalty implied suspicion if not something
more, and placed them on the same level
with rebels. Hence many true men refused
to vote, and many who took the oath took
it under protest, We merely give the
facts.

The Oath.

Our East Tennessee people have way
of their own in many things. In the cleo
ton of last Saturday they did pretty much
as they pcascd-cXcept TO violate the Con
stitution and laws of the State. In several
places we have heard trom--where the
Union sentiment was overwhelming too
the judges and people required and took no
oath but that prescribed by the old Code OF
Tennessee. The people have an idea, some
how or other that the Union men Of East
Tennessee have given sufficient evidence of
loyalty without the additional sanction of a
test oath, no matter by what military Off
cial prescribed.

New MARKET, March 3. /,
COMMUNICATIVE.

KINGSTON, March !, 1864
Rec. W. G.. Browniow-Dear Sir: Permit me to
make few remarks to you that suggested them
selves to me II day or two ago on trip to and from
your place first-for you 10 advise all the farmers
along the line whore large bodies of troops have
passed and destroyed all their fencing to take what
rails they have left ard close up at each end of the
farm and where there are three or four joining they
can enclose the whole, and put up good gate at
each end that viii open and shut easily-by which
means great deal of land that will otherwise lie
out will be enclosed and if not otherwise cultivated
there can be vast amount of hay saved. And ad-
wise the authorities to issued strict orders that all
such gates shall be permitted and that all troops
wagon trains shall carefully shut them as there
always surplus men enough along to doit without
interfering in the least with the forward movement
of whatever may be passing Every one can see
how very important it is that every pound of food
for man and beast that can be made in East Ten
nesscr should he saved. The winter being now
about played out this reckless burning Of rails should
at once be put a stop to. @. W. Mabry's and Mrs.
Kcnnedy's FARMS with all the lands between ia dis
lance of three four miles can be securely en-
closed in this way and the lands being nearly all in
clover and grass, would afford vast amount of
pasurag. or hay for the army
Yours, respectfully
