sS4zG New YoRk, Octoberl5.
The Herald's correspondent with the cav.
airy on the LETT Of the Army Of the Poto'
says sofsthe cavalry fight on Saturday;
The rebels were led by General Wade
Hampton, and Generals Butler, w. Lee
bearing and Young, each with brigade
They thought to secure an. easy; victory
They succeeded in driving our small force,
which was commanded by General Davies,
from two lines of slight defences, and, dis
mounting three brigades, made desperate
effort 70 dislodge us from third. Oul
force Consisted Of the lst New Jersey, lei
Massachusetts,, 9th Ohio, 10th New York,
and . battalion Of the LIST Pennsylvania
with four guns. The fight was terrific
Time and again the rebels charged up to
within few feet of the line, and were
hurled back with deadly showers of bullets
They then attempted flank movement, al
the same time charging upon the breast
works; but they met with such warm re-
ception that they were glad to return
Their loss was heavy Si1'sta ~ i'A
As soon as it was discovered that the en-
envy were falling back our men climbed their
breastworks and, with cheer, charged the
flying rebels. Our loss was slight.
A Tribune special dispatch, dated Mar
tinsburg, October A, says:
The latest intelligence from Gen. Sheri
dan is to Saturday morning. AT that time
his infantry were still at Harrisonburg,
while his cavalry We're east of the Blue
Ridge, accommodating in the vicinity OF
Charlottesville. .,.-., ,yl. s.5.s,
The rebel report Of disaster to our cav.
airy at Swift Head Gap is untrua. Instead
of meeting with repulse, We gained vic
tory, capturing about one hundred prison.
ers, and driving the rebels through the
Gap which they had fortified. 4 II
Rockfish and Browns Gap have been
strongly fortified by the rebels, and are de-
Tended by considerable force. The posi-
ton is fankable on either side, and it is
probable that the next information we get
from Sheridan will come vta Alexandra.
Supply trains continue to 60 to the front
and there is direct Indication that Martins
burg and Harpers Ferry are to be aban-
doned as bases of supplies. A-k- s u
New YORK, Oct. 5.-The Herald's City
Point correspondent says, in the fight fol-
the south side Of the railroad, about 1000
prisoners fell into the hands of the rebels,
belonging principally to the 5lst New York
2lst Massa chusetts, 45th Pennsylvania and
7th Rhode Island, but both the Times and
Worlds specials from the scene of action,
put the number at only few hundred.
The utmost quiet has prevailed in front
of Petersburg since Sunday. In going over
the late battle field we found our dead en-
tirely stripped of their clothing, and some
horribly mutilated, several being murdered
after they were wounded.

CHEAr LoYAIrY.-Ths sLoysl Lacquer
haysa starxhich was donated to the Sani
tary Fair held here in June and July last
which they use frequently at the expense
OF the city. Last evening the aforesaid star
was placed upon one Of the city gas posts
and allowed to burn the city gas for two Of
three hours. to add brilliancy to the aboli
ton demonstration at the Court House.
We have no objection to the star being
used by the Shoddyites, but We do protest
against the city gas being consumed, as We
do not think the city taxes should be ap.
propriated to forward the cause Of Lincoln
cor any other man."

destruction of slavery. We thought his
views last night were somewhat at variance
from those he held four years ego. In 1861
afr. Wiley declared that "the election of
Abraham Lincoln was virtually a. fraud upon
the people Of the United States" and that
he would ''meet the errors and wrongs of
Lncoln's Administration, first by the force
Of reason, until reason had no force, and
then by the ultima ratio" Of war. But few
years ago Mr.. Wiley declared that he
would NEVER submit to law that should ex.
clude the South from carrying slavery into
the Territories, and thus destroy the equat-
III Of HE States" Yet, with this record OF
SIR. ". before them, the Republicans pres
ent last night we're loud in their praise of
the man and his cajoling speech.
When Mr.. Wiley had concluded his re-
marks, Mr.. Poorman, of Ohio, wound up
the affair with short speech.
