WAR DEPARTMENT., WAsHINsroN, Aug.
2O.-To Maj. Gen. Diz:-The operations Of
On. Grants forces are detailed in the fol-
lowing official dispatches received to-day,
by this Department:
City Point, Aug. 1873 D. m.-Gen. War
rem moved with his corps this morning to
and across the Weldon road, II miles
south OF headquarters, meeting nothing
but the euemy's pickets. he advanced to-
wards Petersburg. Meeting the enemy he
had considerable lighting during the day,
suffering some loss and inhicting loss on
the enemy. have no reports showing the
extent of our loss but judge them to be
light, from the dispatches. Some of the
few other prisoners.
City Point, Aug. 1870 p. m.-Our
troops are firmly fixed across the Weldon
road.
There has been little or no fighting to-
day on the right of Petersburg or north of
the James.
Warren reports that the euemy's dead in
considerable number were in his front, IN
buried.
Gen. Birney telegraphs Gen. Butler as
follows:
Rsadguarter's 10th Army Corps, Aug. 10.
The enemy attacked my line in heavy
force last night and we're repulsed with
great loss In front of our colored regi-
ments 80 dead bodies of the enemy we're
counted. The colored troops behaved
handsomely and are in fine spirits. The
assault was in column. A division strong
could and would have carried the works if
they had not been so we'll defended. The
enemy's loss was at least 1000.
GSigued,1 D. B. BIRNEY, Maj. Gen
We have had a great deal of rain about
Petersburg this week and very grateful
change in the temperature.
City Point, Aug 1873. p. m--The enc
my came out this evening to Warren's
right, driving in the pickets between him
and the 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 which resulted in the re-estab-
fishing of our lines and the capture of a
good many prisoners. We also lost consid-
erably in prisoners.
The last fore going dispatch was receiV-
ep this D. m. and is the latest received by
the Department.
1t is estimated that the loss of the enc
my during the week in killed, wounded and
captured, cannot fall much short of 1000,
if it does not exceed that number
We have received satisfactory intelli-
geuce from Gen. Sherman to $50 o'clock
last evening.
Reports at o'clock this morning from
Sheridan's front, represent all quiet at
that time and that Gilmore with 40 or 80
men entered Martinsburg last evening.

FARTHER POINT, Aug. 2O.-The steamer
Peruvian from Liverpool the IIth, via Lon

The Liverpool cotton market was irreg-

Breadstuffs quiet but steady.
Provisions dull.

Three men had been tried in Liverpool
for enlisting men for theConfederate steam

Letter from Gen. Seymour.

New YORK, August 2O.-The Times has
a long letter from Brig. Gen. Seymour,
lately prisoner at the South, upon the
present aspect Of affairs, based upon his
former kno Wedge of that section and his
recent observations. He states that the
rebel cause is fast failing from exhaustion,
and all we need is men to give a crushing
prepouderence to our armies. Tens of
thousands of lives are lost because our ar
ray of strength is so disprspOrtiOuably less
than that against which we battle. Every
where we meet on nearly equal terms,
where we might as we'll have four to one.
The cost to us IN blood and treasure of a
prolonged war can hardly be foreseeu.-
The South will fight as long as the strug-
gle is equal. 1t will submit to such pre-
ponderauce as we should show in the field.

The Indian Outrages.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2O,-DsHvER CRY, Aug.
IA letter from Geo, ". Lane, Super
iutendent of the Branch Mint, to Senator
Jas. H. Lane, says:
The general feeling here is that the tele-
grams, purporting to be from the Indian
Bureau at Washington, are an outrage on
the memory of the unarmed men and iuof-
fensive women and children who have been
killed and scaIped by these treacherous
devils. Every band of Indians of any
size on the plains have united for the pur
pose of discriminating and driving the
white men from these mountains and plains.
The ouly wrongs l know of are that
these enemies to progress and improve
ments here, have been furnished with arms
under a mistaken policy, the better to
accomplish this hellish purpose. If Colo
RADIO has any friends in the States let them
prove it now. Those who sympathise
with the wronged Indians had better cat
their hair short before passing the Missouri
river, as they are no respectOrs of persons,
age or sex.
All the stores are closed aud the men
are working on the Notifications.

From tbs Army of the Potomac.

INV YoRK, Aug. 2I.-The Sunday Her
AIDS dispatch states that the recent move
meut leaves only the DanviIle road over
which the rebels can obtain supplies for
their army aud Richmond.
HEADQUARTERS Army OF TIE PoFoMAC,
Aug. 20, A. M.-Yesterday was the aui-
etest day We have had in front of Peters
burg for q mouth. Scarcely g shot has
been heard the entire day. On the We'll
don road, where Gen. Warren's corps has
taken position, there is considerable skir-
mishing with an occasional discharge Of
artillery, bat nothing resembling an en-
gagement took place.
In the afternoon the enemy moved 3
force from Gear Petersburg towards our
left and made an attempt to break our
line near the jerusalem road, but finding
the road was not so easy as they anticips
ted abandoned it. They took few pris-
oners, however, before they fell back.
The number of casualties in the 9Th
corps on Thursday was about $50.
About Z o'clock last night some batteries
in front of the 18th corps opened, and also
on the left. A sharp engagement was kept
up for several hours with the result so far
as could be ascertsiued of nobody Injured.
At this hour not gun can be heard.
The roads are becoming bad in conse-
the present week and still continues.
FoRTREss MONROE, Aug. 20, via BALTI-
HoRE, Aug. 2I.-From City Point We have
intelligence that the 5th Army Corps had
a severe fight with the enemy on the Wei
don Railroad, bat succeeded in routing the
rebels, and finally advanced and occupied
position on the line of the Petersburg
and Weldon Railroad, aud at last accounts
We still held the position.
On the North side OF the James river our
lines up to the latest intelligence, cOntin-
ued unchanged, Notwithstanding the re-
peated efforts of the enemy to dislodge Us.
The canal is progressing favorably.
LATER, 40, P. M.-The steamer John
Brooks, from City Point, arrived and con-
firms the success of our movement on the
Weldon Railroad.
The 9Th Army Corps still holds their po
sitiou. Our position on the North side of
the James river is not materially changed,
but the Sd corps are making an important
move.
