vance We had considerable fighting dur

ers.
CITY POINT, Aug. 10, 7.30, .. m
Our troops are firmly fixed across the We'll
don Road, there has been little OF no fight
ing to-day, either South Of Petersburg or
North of the James River
Gen. Warren reports that the enemv's
dead in considerable number were found
in his front unbured. Gen. Birney teIe-
graphs as follows:
HEADQUARTERS 10Th Corps, !
August 49, 1864.
The enemy attacked my line in heavy
force last night, and were repulsed With
great loss.
In front Of one colored regiment eighty
two dead bodies OF the enemy are counted
The colored troops behaved handsomely
and are in fine spirits. The assault was in
column, division strong, and would have
carried works not so well defended. The
enemy's loss is at least one thousand
ID. b. BIRNEY,
Major General Commanding.
We have great deal of rain about Pc
tersburg this week and a very grateful
change IN the temperature.
CITY POINT, Aug. l9-9 a. m.-The
enemy came out this evening to Warren 5
right, driving in the pickets connecting
between them and the left of our old line
on the Jerusalem Plank Road and forcing
back the two right divisions of Warren s
Corps. A heavy fight took place resulting
In the re establishing of our lines and the
capture of good many prisoners.
The prisoners were from Heth's Mahon's
and HOke's divisions. We also lost con
siderable in prisoners.
The last foregoing dispatch was received
this afternoon and is the late st information
received by the department.
1t Is estimated that the loss of the epemv
during this week, in killed, wounded and
captured, can not fall short of 1000, if II
does not exceed that number.
The department has satisfactory intelIi.

PASSAGE OF THE CONVENTION
BILLS.

We have the gratifying intelligence to
mpart to our readers, that the two Bills
for submitting to the people, the call for a
Convention to remodel the organic law of
our State, have passed in each branch of
the Legislature, the Senate and the House
Of Delegates. Ind the former the vote
stood ayes Is; nay 2, in the House ayes
IS, nays II. The two Bills passed do
not materially differ from each other,
and it is probable the Senate Bill as a.
mended, will be adopted by the House.
1t is therefore safe to presume, that the
good old Commonwealth of Maryland,
will ere long throw off the shackles of Slave
ry, that has SO long hung like an incu-
bus upon her, and start new in the race
Of progress, wealth and knowledge which
her sister States in the North and West of
have experienced. The opponents of the
measure kept up death struggle against
its passage, but all to ne purpose. The
representative of the people felt the ava
lanche of power that had lifted them into
their places, and with becoming frmness
accomplished the work which had been
assigned to them.

ANNAPOLIS, Md,
January 18th 1854.
Acreclbly 10 promise, you shall now have en-
account of some of the doings OF the Legislature,
now in session in this "ancient' city.
AS yet but little business of public importance
has TRANSFERRED, other than the election of Hon.
T. III. Hicks Scuator, and Robt. Fowler Esq,
Treasurer, of which you have had full ac-
count heretofore.
The all Absorb / " question of the session, is
the passage of the bill, calling Constitutional
Convention. This so far has overshadowed
every thing else. 1t has now been under dis
cussion, on its second reading for week past,
and is not yet half read through.
The members sympathising with the Rebel
Ion and Slavery, have given notice that they
intend 10 throw every obstacle in their power
in the way of its passage and are proposing all
kind Of amendments 10 suit such purpose.
Until now the Union men have stood firm,
steadily voting down every amendment TO the
original bill, (Stockbridge's as published in
your last issue,) by vote of from 4S 10 SO
against 20.
To day however on the consideration of the
Srd. Section, which provides for IN oath to be
taken by every voter who is challenged, on ac-
count OF dislo, atty, tone Of the most important
provisions in the bill,) it was stricken out on
motion of Mr. Tyson Of Howard, by vote of
SO to 2s, IL members being absent.
The Allegnny Delegation, has stood firm
throughout all the contest, and voted 10 man
against striking out the Section mentioned
They fully maintain the un1inehing loyalty Of
their tire constituency.
Allegany county is truly and faithfully rep
resented.
Yours &c,
rNI6N

ImDertinent Interference.

The publisher of this paper was most indie
Gently accostcd in the public market on Tues
day morning last, by l.. c. Bochm, local agent
of the Boltimorc and Ohio Rail Road Company;
and a miserably abortive attempt made 10 ex-
ercisc a censorship over the conduct of this pa
per by the withdrawal of the patronage of the
Company of which he claims to be the repre-
sentative Mr.. Boehm, it seems felt agreivcd
at the publication of an article in this paper, in
which we gave an account of the doings of
Gen. Gitzhugh Lee ut his late raid, few weeks
since, and in which we also, instituted some
inquiries us to the manner of defending our
border people against rebel invasion. 1t is our
intention to publish an Independent paper, and
all such attempts as that made by Mr.. Boehm,
must signally fail, as he no doubt, has lcarnd
ere this.
Simple justice to the Baltimore K Ohio Rail
Road Co. and its gcntlemanly and efficient
Master of Transportation, compcls us to say,
that the conduct of Mr.. Boehm, is entirely
gratuitous and that the Company is in no wise
censurablc for the cratic conduct Of their med
dlesomc agent.

Destruction. of Rail Road Bridges.

On Tuesday last, about one o'clock it was
discovered that the telegraph wires east of us on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were out Of
working order, and soon thereafter, persons
living in the neighborhood of North Branch
and Pattersons Creek Bridges, came into town
bringing intelligence of the fact that from 800
TO 500 rebels were in the act of burning and
otherwise destroying these structures, within
six and eight miles of our city. Here then
commenced another scncc of excitement, Brie,-
dicr Gen. Kelley and his Staff busted them
selves in horsing themselves and preparing for
the tug of war. The troops stationed here
with a Battery, received marching orders, and
in the space ofa few minutes, all was in motion
halt was called about one mile east of and
or the nils ihat overlook the town of Cum
bcrland. Here line Of battle was formed and
skermishing party sent out. 1t. was soon
however ascertained that the rebels had done
their work in a hurry and rctreated back into
| Virginia .
| AT Patterson's Creek Bridge was stationed
company of the 54th Pa. Vol. which was COB
led up by the rebels in short time 1t is
stated that after surrenderng, five of the pri-
Yates were shot one of which died Immediately
another is dangerously, and the rest slightly
