might as well had that eight pound lump that
the old man from Oregon got, as not. But the

Yreka is now, and off went up there And
then bought those horses and they proved them

This morning division Of Gen, Ter
nv with Kautz's cavalry started out on
y The important mission of feeling the en-
emy and ascertaining his strength in the
immediate vicinity Of Richmond. For
this delicate movement the dispositions
were made as follows: Two brieades
of Terrys infantry moved out by the
right flank to the Central road, and, COW
cred by the cavalry advanced up that
road toward the city Col, Spears bri-
gade OF KautZ's cavalry, with one sec
ton of horse artillery was thrown out
on the Charles City road, with skirmish-

road to cover the movement in that di-
rection The rest of the cavalry deploy-
ed as skirmishers in front Of the infant
ry, and extended their line on our left
down 10 the left of the main line.
Six pieces of horse artillery composed
the movement on the central road.
When the line had advanced to the Pow
ell House point on the central road
about three miles from Richmond, they
met q line of rebel skirmishers. At this
point the cavalry skirmishers were with
drawn, and the Fourth and Tenth regi-
mentS of Connecticut infantry deplOyed
in their stead. These regiments ad-
vanced handsomely driving the rebels
before them with ease. The rest of the
column advanced steadily in line of bat
4 tie to the rear of the skirmiShers. When
the line had reached Howe'S House, the
4 enemy opened on them with heavy ar
4 tillery from their main works. but dis
regarding this, the skirmisherS pressed
~ on and drove the rebels into their line
OF works at Sharp's House, two miles
n East Of the city. The cavalry on the
a right reached simultaneously the same

These works were asCertained to be OF

nature and continuation of those in

HARRISBURG, Va, Sept. $3.50 p. m.
Lieut. Gen. U. s. Grant CITY Point
In my last dispatch informed you
that | pressed Early SO closely at New
Market, ut the same time sending caVal-
ny around his flank, that he took to the
mountains. Passing through Browns
Gap, kept up the pursuit to Port Re
public, destroying seventy-fiye wagons
and four caissons. | sent Gen. Torbert,
who overlook me at Harrisonburg, to
Stanton, with Wilson's division OF cav
airy and one brigade of Merritts Tor
bert entered Staunton on the 10Th, and
destroyed d large quantity of Govern
ment property, harness, saddles, small
arms, flour, repair shops, &c. He then
proceeded to Waynesboro, destroying
the iron bridge over the South branch OF
the Shenandoah, seven miles of the track,
the depot buildings, a Government tan
merry, and a large amount OF leather,
-four, stores, sc. At that place he found
the tunnel defended by infantry, and re-
tired via Staunton. 1t is my impression
that most of the troops which Early had
left, passed through the mountain to
Charlottesville that Kershaw's division
came to his assistance, and think pass
ed along the West base of the mountain
to Waynesboro. l am getting from
twenty-five to forty prisoners daily, who
come from the mountains on each side,
and deliver themselves up. From the
most reliable accounts, Early's army
was completely broken up and is dis
persed. Kershaw had not reached Rich
mend. but was somewhere in the vicini-
ty of Gordonsville when he received or
ders to rejoin Early The destruction OF
forage, &C, in the vicinity of Staunton
was that retained for the use of Early
army. All in the lower part of the val
ley was shipped to Richmond for the use
OF Lees army. The country from here

with forage, grain, &C.

NEW ORk, OCl. 4.
A dispatch, dated headquarters army
Iof the Potomac, ID evening, says: No
lighting has occurred on this line to-day.
|The rebels fell back this morning to their
main line of works, which runs from the
Head works to the South-side road, or
near it. This position of the rebels is
very strong one and cannot easily be
carried. A division Of the Second corps
advanced toward the Boynton road,
over which the enemy wagon their sup
piles to Petersburg. Two lines of works
were found unoccupied, only a skirmish
Zine opposing the advance, and falling
back as our troops went forward. Near
the Boynton road a very formidable line
Of works was found behind which the
REBELS were posted in heavy force. 1t
I was not deemed advisable to attack and
our men fell back and occupied safe
position. They lost q few wounded in
I the advance. Our loss on Friday was
greater than at first stated. The total
in killed, wounded and prisoners will
foot up not far from two thousand
more than half of whom are taken pris-
oners. This occurred in consequence of
a gap being left in the Fifth and Ninth
corps, through which the confederates
charged and flanked the Second divis-
ion of the Ninth corps. Among the cas-
ualities are Lieut.-Col. Otis, command
ing the First brigade Of Ayers division,
wounded in the face, but not seriously
Col. Zeiner, Fourteenth Pennsylvania,
leg; Capt. Snyder, One Hundred and
twentieth New York, wounded; Capt
Fish, of infantry, wounded seriously in
the head. A shell from one Of the rebel
batteries grazed Gen. Meade's bootleg
took a piece from the tail of Gen. Hum
phrey's horse, and entered the grount
between Gems. Bartlett and Griffin. For
tunately, it did not explode, else / should
have, probably, had to chronicle a los:
which the army could i'll afford.
