Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-08-26
From Washington.

. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Negroes are to
be paid the same wages, bounty and cloth
ing allowances as the white soldiers, in ac-
cordance with the late decision of the At
torney General.
There is no grounds for the rumor so as
siduously reported from here that the Pres
ident proposes to send five commissioners
to the rebels. The rumors that an armis-
tice has been or is to be proposed are equal
ly without foundation.
Superintendent Whitley has communica-
ted to the Indian Bureau some interesting
facts relative to the Ute Indians, numbering
about 1000 souls. These Indians have a
treaty with the United States, and now give
assurances of their friendship for the whites.
This is an important fact, considering they
are great warriors and occupy the mining
portions of Colorado. Their representa-
tives lett Washington favorably impressed
with the kind treatment which they re-
ceived.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The feeling here
with reference to the late movements of the
Army of the Potomac and those in contem-
plation, is full OF hope and confidence. 1t
is certain that the campaign against Rich
mond is not yet ended, If, indeed, it has
more than just begun. If Lees disposition
of his forces has been based upon such an
idea, he may find out his error when its too
late.

From Sheridan.

New YORK, Aug. 25.-The Worlds dis
patch from headquarters 9th corps, at Hall
town, Aug. 23d, says: A reconnaissance sent
out at an early hour this morning on the
Charlestown pike discovered nothing but a
line of skirmishers. Movements of the past
few days show that the return of Sheridan
from the banks of Cedar run had placed this
army in position of advantage, both for
offensive and defensive operations, which it
was impossible to obtain at that point There
are two roads by which the enemy can at
tempt to enter Maryland--through Smither's
Gap or across the Potomac via Shepherds
town, and thence through the Gap of South
Mountain. To go through Smithers Gap,
they must first retreat, and in either case
we have the inside track.
Guerrillas have been carefully active all
along our line of march. Several of our
men shot by Moseby's band were found
hung by the legs, and others with Sheep
skins stuffed In their mouths.
10 A. M.-Picket firing is now going on
In front of our left and left center. The
enemy develope no strength, and artillery
shots elicit no response as yesterday.

Latest from FOrrest-The Situation
at Mobile.

CAIRO, Aug. 25.-Memphis advices to the
23d say the Seventieth Illinois cavalry re-
turned from the pursuitof Forrest. At last
account Monday the rebels crossed Cold
water river twenty-three miles from Mem
phis, retreating In the direction of Pamela,
grumbling over the failure of their expedi-
tion. They expected to create diversion
of Gen. Smiths expedition. Forrest told
our officers under a iiag of truce Sunday
that Gen. Grierson occupied Oxford, Mis-
sissippi.
: The steamer brings New Orleans dates to
the 18th, and the following summary of
news: Admiral Farragut made reconnois-
sance on the 18th to the distractions near
Mobile, and found the Nashville sunk across
the channel, making access to the city i'm
possible until she is removed. The gunboat
Morgan came down and cannonaded ouF
vessels from safe distance. Therea re still
two ironclad rams and several plated bat
teries near the city. Our batteries will open
on Fort Morgan in a few days.
Farragnt has issued a congratulatory Or
der, returning thanks to the officers and
crews of vessels of the fleet for their gall
liant conduct during the engagement on the
9th; and for the noble implicit confidence
reposed in their leader.
Two hundred rebel prisoners taken at
Fort Gaines petitioned to be allowed to
take the oath of allegiance.
General Candy authorized Col. Dwight,
our Commissioner of Exchange, to waive
just claims on the Government to effect the
immediate release Of our prisoners. Some
$500 are now at Camp Ford, Texas.
The officers of the steamer Rob Roy,
which was reported captured and destroy
ed by guerrillas, arrived at New Orleans.
They report the steamer safe, but aground
below Monroe, Wachita river.
Fair inquiry in New Orleans for cotton.
Market M l4sH eS for strictly good and ordina-
clined. Sugar offered at 23@2311Sc for fair;

Cairo papers say nine guerrillas and reb-
ell spies were shot by the military authori-
ties at Paducah yesterday and day before.

Fight near CharIestown.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 25, 11:3O A. M.-The
American has received tonight the follow
ing special dispatch: a5H
HARpER's FERRY, Aug, 25.-A reconnois-
sance was made this morning by large
force of cavalry under command Of General
Torbert, which resnlted in obtaining very
important information with respect to the
enemy's movements. From the information
received, 1t appears that a considerable por-
ton of the enemy's forces broke camp at
Charlestown this morning at daylight, and
marched In the direction of Leetown.
Our cavalry struck their line of skirmish-
ers about mile beyond Kearneysville, and
after q brilliant charge succeeded In cap
turing quite number of prisoners. Du-
ring the skirmish we lost a few killed and
wounded, all Of whom we brought off the
field.
At the time of writing this dispatch,
heavy firing is going on in the direction of

FORESTS Raid into Memphis.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The Herald's Mem
phis dispatch of the oath, says of Forests
late dash: The rebel General Forrest cap
tured the city of Memphis Sunday MORN
ing at 8 O'Clock, and held his position for
two hours, when he was driven out by our
forces. The rebels robbed the principal
hotels and boarding houses, captured por-
tion of Gen. Washburhe's and Gen. Hurl-
butts staffs, some thirty commissioned off,
GERS and about two hundred and fifty men.
Washburne escaped to the fort in tolerably
good order. The rebels were three nun
dred strong, while our own forces, including
the militia, were only between eight and
nine thousand strong.

The Army to be Paid-The 30th Ill.
IinOis the Star Regiment.

New YORK, August 25.-The Tribune's
Washington dispatch of the 23d SAYS: Sew
eral more paymasters left to-day to pay off
troops in the Army of the Potomac. Mon
ey is being rapidly furnished by the Treas
ury Department, and a number of pay
masters will probably leave tomorrow to
pay off Western troops.
The army correspondent of the Tribune
says: Perhaps the star regiment in the
fight last week is the 30th Illinois, the only
regiment from that State in this army. Its
Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major and two
senior Captains have lost either life or limb
within two months, and men in proportion,
and yet its spirit remains unbroken. On
the 18th there were individual instances of
gallantry in this regiment which would,
could they be recorded, vie with the widest
tales of romance. If I

Rebel News.

| BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.-The American has
Richmond papers of the 10Th inst. They
claim to have captured twenty-seven hun
dred prisoners in the assault they made on
our forces on the Weldon railroad on Fri
day, but seem to deplore the loss Of the rail-
road very much.
The only items of news from Mobile are
the following, under date of the 18th:
force of the enemy from Pensacola, es-
timated at two thousand, crossed the Per-
dido river yesterday, advancing toward
Mobile Bay. A heavy Yankee force is in
North Mississippi, whose destination is sup
posed to be Mobile.
The Richmond Examiner of the 22d con-
tains the following dispatches:
CHARLESTON, Aug. 20.-Capt. Dickenson,
with greatly inferior force, engaged the
enemy's cavalry and artillery at Gaines
vile, Florida, on the 10th, and completely
routed them, capturing one hundred and
fifty prisoners, one piece of artillery and
one hundred stolen negroes. The enemy
was pursued fourteen miles and scattered.
The Examiner also says Gen. Richard L.
Page, commanding Fort Morgan, is Vir-
ginian.
During Saturday afternoon there was
received at Libby prison from Petersburg
and other places 1,349 Yankee prisoners Of
war, including eighty-nine commissioned
officers, with Brigadfer General Hayes, of
Gen. Warren's corps. The number Of pris-
oners of war near Andersonville, Georgia,
Is 38,000 The bad policy of cOngregating
such an army of prisoners in one spot must
be apparent to the authorities. The Yam
kee Government never commit that blum
der.
The powder works located at Charlotte,
N. c., blew up some days since, killing three
men and wounding several. The Examiner
of the 10th says:
MOBILE, Aug. H.-Major General Frank
Gardner, assumes command OF the Gulf dis
trict to-day. The people are pleased with
him. Yesterday evening the enemy landed
at Montross in five launches. Our cavalry
fired on them, wounding several.
Hopes are entertained of an early ex-
change of the prisoners at Danphin Island.

energetic and vigorous support to the
movement for Peace and the Restora-

warfare against usurpation and tyranny in
every form; it will oppose arbitrary ar
rests, and advocate the Freedom of Speech

the Nominees of the Democratic National

port; and oppose with all its power the i'm
beetle and contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts of

mined to KetaIke the Weldon
Railroad

New York, Aug. 25.-The Worlds spe-
cial in the field before Petersburg, Aug.
23d, says: Warren pushed reconnaissance
toward Petersburg yesterday, and found
the enemy had retired from his immediate
front. Taking advantage of this, Warren
advanced his lines further toward the city
than our left has yet been, when our lines
were extended toward the railroad. Our
line crosses the road as heretofore. The
rebels have probably fallen back to their
regular line of works, or may be they are
manguvering for flank attack. Large
numbers of deserters come in, and say Lee
has expressed a determination to retake
this road If 1t costs him every man he has.
= Many rebel officers in hospitals corrobo-
rate the story that there are six days' ra-
tions in Petersburg, and when these are
consumed supplies held at Richmond will
be brought into requisition, provided the
Danvllie railroad proves insufficient as a
means for transporting supplies from South
ern districts.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 20. IL A. M.-Lt. Gen.
A. p. Hill commanded our forces in the
tight yesterday evening. Warren was
emy were driven about three-quarters of a
mile in front, and back about two miles on
the flank. Two hundred and twenty pris-
Oners, including nine commissioned officers,
were captured. Night ended the fight,
which was very considerable affair. The
fight has not been resumed thus far to-day.
The enemy still holds possession of the
Weldon railroad. Our losses are not heavy.
Gen. Clingman was wounded and Gen.
Lawson killed. The enemy's loss in killed
and wounded is not ascertained. The Yam
kee Gen. Crawford is reported by prisoners
killed,

Slxirmishing Near Harper's Ferry
The Weldon Road Thoroughly
Destroyed.
New YORK, Aug. 25.-The Posts WASH
ington special says advices received here
to-day from Harper's Ferry state that there
was little skirmish going on at the front
ON wednesday, but without any important
results. The rebels were evidently trying
to get across the Potomac again, but our
cavalry kept too close an eye upon them.
Our troops have made a most thorough
destruction of the Weldon railroad. Itis
not proposed, however, to evacuate the line
of that road. Our forces will remain there
for the present.
A large number of citizens of Loudon
county have been brought in charged with
