Of the Repulse On MoM day.

" At 2 o'clock the oppo
sing lines were drawn up opposite
each other and in the woods. 60 that
for the most part we were invisible
to the rebels and they to US. About
this time skirmishers were sent out
from the left OF the Fifth Corps, with
orders to "tind the rebels. They
were not long in doing that, tor the
rebels were quite near, ana in heavy
force. A brigade OF cavalry, cons,s.
ting Of the 4th, Sth and 18Th Penn
sylvania, dlsmounted-except one
regiment was then ordered to take
the breastworks which the skirmish-
ers had discovered in our front.
They advanced gallantly to the
charge across an open field, till they
came to high post and rail fence,
which the mounted Cavalry we're an
able to pass. They remained here
awhile. striving to get the bars down,
the cavaIrymen hacking them with
their sabres, and the dismounted
troops endeavoring to tear them to
pieces. All this time they were sub
iect to q terrible fire from the breast
works iu iIont. Both shot and shell
poured in upon them, and their pc
sition was soon found untenab!e.-
They retreated Many dead and
wounded were left behind. Again
they were formed having this time
left all the horses in the rear. Again
they charged gallantly forward. They
were blooIily again repulscd. and a
second time they fell back.
They were now weak in numbers,
manv were killed, more wounded
and some, unable to get away, had
been caught in the rebel lines and re
mained as captives. The third and
last attempt to storm these works was
made as bravely, as gallantly, as use
lessly as the first and second. Or
the luen rushed, back they were hurl
ed by the volleys OF musketry, anc
here the endeavor to accomplish 90
difficult a feat with 80 small a forct
ended.
An advance OF the Sd division o
the 5th corps was now ordered tt
drive the rebels from their Obnoxiou
breastworks. Under the eye OF tn
indomitable Warren the men spran
gallantly forward. A short, shar
and decisive fight drove the rebel
away. We followed. Up hill an
down dale, through valley and mars
and over hlIltops, we followed as the

slnwly retreeted, fighting our sd-
vance. Onward we went, too far
onward. For nearly four miles the
rebels retreated, gradually getting
stronger in numbers, bnt still giving
away steadily before the dashing
charges OF the 81 Division. Back
ward they went till our men reached
the tannery and lead works, which
are we'll known to be situated close to
the South Side road.
Here the rebels stopped. They
had grown more powerful. StuO-
bornly the Fifth Corps veterans, see
ing the long sought object Of their
desires almost within tHeir clutches,
strove tu push on. The ammunition
OF many Of the regiments was ex-
haussed, and the advance gun, in lol-
lowing, became glued in swamp,
AMI resisted ali efforts to extricale it.
A swamp which was in front OF the
rebel earth works, with heavy guns
mounted, aud lynx eyed cannoniers
were behind the swamp, which was
in itsel! impossible. There was no
chance OF safety but in retreat. Our
men paused; they pansed aud fought.
The rebels received more reiutvrce-
ments. They massed them
Finally the eft wing OF the 8 di
vision was Aanked AMI driven back
Alter this the division fell back in
disorder. Once started, there was
an overwhelming force OF rebels in
front. There was no refuge in the
rear, save tbree miles back. for re
endorsements, which should have
been sent before these gallant fellows
got 80 far away, were not on hand;
they were too late. Our men went
back rapidly, keeping pretty we'll
together, losing some, unaVoida6ly
as they went. | cannot pretend to
Judge where the blame Of this reverse
lies. 1t was plainly evident however
that the reinforcemeuts from the 9th
corps to the 5th came too late to he
of any service in maintaining their
advanced position, and only helped
them to maintain the reastworks.
There were 30 many wounded in
so short time that the ambulance
on the field proved insufficient, and
the Numbers OF tho poor fellows, stiff
aud bleeding from horrld wounds
were carried from the front to the
field hospitals npon stretcherS, ana
some were even brought in upon
blankets by their sympathizing com
rades. Nearly all the wounded who
we're able to walk were ordered tc
march into their hospitals, which iT
the 9Th corps lay from eight to twelve
miles from the front,

to by the holders of the second-class warrants,
who acquired the same at an average depre-
citation Of not less than 70 per cent.
In connection with this last branch OF my
report, it may be matter Of some satisfac-
ton to the taxpayers Of this county, to have
their attention called to the fact, that public
notice has been given that bids will be re-
ceived at the Treasurer's office, on Saturday
the 18th inst, for the redemption Of warrants,
the amount on hand on the 29th ult., for
which purpose was S3,O9l II, and likely to
be increased by redemption day to not less
than $4,000. Thus inaugurating system.
which at no very distant day will have ex-
tricated the county from financial condI-
ton once considered almost hopeless.
Hoping that the foregoing will receive your
approval and endorsement,
have the honor to be
Yours, respectfully,
L. HERMANN,
County Auditor.

books of the County Auditor, Treasurer, Tax
Collector and District Attorney, found cor

COUNTY AUD1rOR,s REPORT.
OFFICE OF COUNTY AUDITOR,
STOREY COUNTY,
VIRGINIA, May !, 1865.

NlR6lNIA, -1dy !, 1000. }
To the Hon. Board of County Commissioners
of Storey County:
GENrIEHgS According to law, here
with submit for your examination and APP
proval my report upon the finances Of Storey
county, for period con- mencing on the 29th
OF September, 1864, and ending on the 29th
day OF April last, which embraces my entire
term of Office:
Exhibil A is statement OF the total re-
ceipts into the County Treasury, the sources
from which the same were derived. and of
the total disbursements therefrom, and for
what purposes, showing balance in the
hands of the Treasurer Of S26,735 go, and
the different special funds to which that bal
ance has been apportioned, as required by
law.
Exhibit B is condensed statement under
the respective heads OF expenditure; OF the
disbursements OF the county during the above
named period, amounting to the sum OF
Sal ,026 is, which has been paid as follows:
l. By warrants on .the Treasury,
bearing interest at 10 per cent. per
anuam from the date of their reg.
istratiou. and TO be redeemed in the
manner prescribed in the recent
Act of the Legislature providing

To those unacquainted with the history OF
the finances Of this county, so large an out
Law Of money may be deemed extraSagant'
Not so, however, il the fac: be taken INTO
consideration that the far greater portion OF
the current expenses OF the government our
inc the term embraced in this report has
been paid for in county warrants at their
market cash value, averaging % cents on the
dollar, thus adding iour-iold TO every eXpen.
di,ure incurred. Had the same state OF
things been permitted to continue, it is not
to say that the county would
have soon been brought TO state OF bank
ruptcy.
il is gratifying, however, to think that the
tax. PAYERS of this county have been relieved
from this painful apprehension BY the recent
wise enac;mentS OF our late State LeSlSla-
tnre, which have not only provided for the
future maintenance and support OF the county
on n cash basis, but also for the
gradual redemption Of its outstanding indeot-
edness.
By reference to the accompanying tables
il will be seen that the sum Of $500 % has
been collected since last September on the
DELINQUENT assessment list for the year 1857
81; there is a large balance still remaining
unpaid on that list, which, owing to the want
Of strinSency in the old law regulating collec-
ton Of delinquent taxes, it has been impossi-
bic to enforce the payment Of The recent
amendments to that law will greatly increase
the facility OF enforcing the payment OF a
considerable portion of that balance, and
from that source the addition TO the revenue
of The present year may be estimated at
$500. :,
The assessment list for the year 1864 and
1865, US handed 10 the Tax Collector on the
18th of December, 1854, was as follows:

SECRETARY HARLAN.

The Davenport Gazette and the Burling-
ton Lor'k'ye intimate that Mr.. Secretary
HARLAN is very likely to be elected United
States Senator from Iowa, and that he will
then retire from the Cabinet, To which the
Chicago Republican justly adds; "The Legis.
lature of Iowa might do much worse thing
than return Mr.. HARLAN to the Senate.
While he has made himself an enviable repu-
tation at the head Of the Interior Depart
ment his services in the Senate at the pres.
ent crisis would certainly be of great value
