New MAG1srnArEs.-Over five hundred new
Magistrates have been appointed by the Legislature!
There already several thousand too many
Magistrates in the State and why intelligent egis

tives. New Magistrates have been made for counties
in possession of the enemy, where those already
in office cannot exercise their functions. Many of
these appointments made merely for the purpose
of shielding men from military service.

NEW York, Aug. l8.-The ObxsWsescial

ordered to take place Sept. 9Th, will be
Genced on that day. For some time
past 9easouable doubts relative to the en-
forcSnentof the Presidents order at that
time have been entertained by the public,
and even by many military men. II now
seems. however, that it is the intention to
commence work on the appointed time,
and prosecute it to completion as early as

FoRrRnse MoNRoE, Aug. l0.-Our forces

poets Of success, Gregg cavalry rested;
the right on Charles City road, to protect
the right wing. Our forces extend to- the
James River. The front OF our line 10 on
" six miles from Richmond, Lee thus can
not prevent the canal being cut across
Dutch gap, and II he should attempt to
mass his forces on either side of the river,
exposed points on the opposite side will
fall into great danger.
Our losses Sunday are estimated at about
1000 killed, wounded and missing. Those
of the enemy somewhat less. On Monday
the loss of the enemy was somewhat greater
than ours, owing to more favorable posi-
ton on our side. The firing Monday was
mostly with musketry after we had got on
the enemy's flank and turned him; but
yesterday morning artillery or both sides
were playing rather briskly.
WAsHINaToN, Aug. 1S.-The mail steam
or from City Point, brought hither 800 reb.

of the I'd and 10th corps, in killed and
wounded, being from 800 TO 1000 while the
loss of the rebels was also severe.
The position gained by us we still held

vance on our part yesterday.

that under the dispositions lately made,
the line cannot be seriously disturbed.
