The following dispatch of Gen. Parke
is received from Gen. Meade:
U. S. GRANT, 1t. Gen.
The enemy attacked my front this
morning at about 430 a. m. with three
divisions under command of Gen. Gerd-
on. BY sudden rush they seized the
line held by the third brigade first d.
vision at the foot of the hill to the right
of fort Steadman, wheeled and over
towering the garrison took possession
ofthe fort. They established themselves
upon the hill turning our guns upon us.
Our troops on either flank stood firm.
Afterwards determined attack was
made upon Fort Haskell, which was
checked by part of McLaughlin's bri-
gade of Wilcox's division, and was re-
pulsed with great loss to the enemy.
The first brigade of Hartsufrs division,
held in reserve, was then brought IN
and a check given to any further ad
vance.
One or two attempts to re-take the
hill were made, but they were only tenn
porarily successful until the arrival of
the second brigade, when charge was
made by that brigade, aided by the first
division on either flank, and the enemy
were driven out Of the fort with the loss
of number of prisoners, estimated at
about 1000. Two ttle-fags have also
been brought in. The enemy also lost
heavily in killed outside of our lines.
The whole line was Immediately re-
occupied and the guns re-taken unin-
lured: L regret to add that Gen. Nc
Laughln was captured in fort Stead
man. our loss otherwise was not
heavy. Great praise is due to Hartsuff
ior the gallantry displayed In handling
his division which behaved with great
skill in its first engagement.

A Great Cottou SwindIe.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The Times special
says: A great cotton case, or more properly
cotton swindle, has Just been unearthed
| at Augusta, Georgia. 1t involves nearly
| l200O bales of cotton, of the value of about
| S2O0O,O00, and the names of several promi-
nent military officersare mysteriously mix
ed up in the affair. Large amounts of
money are said to have been used in propo-
silion, compromise, &c, the sum being va
rlously stated at forty thousand, fifty thou
sand and one hundred thousand, and even
two hundred and fiftythousand dollars
Inc volume of facts concerning the trans
action is very great, but briefly are as toll
lows: During thee rebel occupation of
Georgia, three parties, named Thomas S.
Metcalf, VIM. A. Beall and jeremiah Beall,
became the owners of $3.50 bales of cotton,
variously stored at Eubala, Albany and
Dawson, Georgia. Oneof theparties (Met-
calf owned four thousand bales on his ac-
count, which the rebel General Hill at Au-
gusta turned in the street in a damaged
condition. Metealf gave a person named
George Schley one-third of the cotton to
rebale it and put it in shipping order.
This cotton, Ntetcalf sold in July
last, through Schley, to John Garsed, of
Philadelphia. The defendants in this case,
Garsed and Schley, claim that Metcalf also
sold to them the 300 bales owned Jointly
by himself and the two Bealls. This Met
calf denied at first, claiming that he only
gave the price it could be bought at on
certain day for cash-twenty cents per
pound. Here begins the interest in the case
Garsed and Schley, it appears, then went to
work upon the military authorities, and
manipulated the matter so as to get certain
orders from Generals Grosvenor and Sted-
man, which frightened Metcalf, who is an
old man, into an agreement to sell the cot
ton for two hundred thousand dollars. The
Bealls, however, opposed the sale, and ap-
pealed for an injunction. &" rlTf
cases ofihterests on the part of the military
authorities in civil affairs, has issued an
order, which in caustic terms prohibits such
interference hereafter.

OPERA HoUsE.-It would be difficult to
select two better representatives OF the Lead
ing characters in the romantic play of
Romeo and Juliet than Emma Waller and
Josephine Tyson. They rendered the ten
der and sentimental passages in the play
last night, as these are seldom presented,
and the general effect of the entire repre-
sentation was good. Mrs. C. L. Aliens
personation OF the Nurse was very well
DONE Benvolio and Tybalt by Mr.. Gross
and Mr.. Howard were rendered with con-
siderable spirit, as was Capulet by Mr..
Hall. The actor onlthe stage, as well as the
man in any other profession, who succeeds,
is the earnest, live man. '3i ad!ritl
The popular and talented artistic, Emma
Waller, takes benefit tonight. The plays
selected are the Duchess of Malf and Per-
fection. The former is one of the most ex-
citing tragedies of the modern stage, and
Mrs. Waller's impersonation of Marina, the
Duchess, has been, wherever witnessed, ex-
tolled as unsurpassed, in the terrible and
grand. In the farce of Perfection, as Kate
O'Brien, with the cork limb, she appears in
an opposite, but very amusing character.
Emma Waller should have a rouising
benefit tonight. She has friends and adj
niirers enough in the city to fill the house.

AGairs.in Mexico.

New York, Oct. ia statement of the
lamentable condition of affairs on the Pa
citic coast fort of Acapulco, MeXico), is
given by Herald correspondent in that
town, writing on the 25th of last month.
The place was reoccupied by the Imperial
lists on the, 18th OF September. A naval
squadron arrived in the harbor and landed
four hundred troops, all native Mexicans,
under General Montegra. Alvarez, the Re-
publican commander who held the place,
on their arrival retired with his force of
5000 about II miles into the interior, and
there remained, cutting off all supplies
from the Imperialists. The Imperialists
dare not venture beyond the limits of the
town, even in day time, and at night they
shut themselves up in the fort, as the AL
varez men came in and had matters pretty
much their own way. The greater portion
of the population left with Alvarez but
those who remained did not keep open their
shops, as hehad, by proclamation, forbidden
them to do SO. 7 Consequently business was
at a complete stand still. Maximilian's Off
GERS could get none of the inhabitants to do
anything for them, and outside the fort an
Imperialist couldnot obtain glass of water
