ng quite sick. Maj. Gen. H. H. Anderson is in command of Longstreet's corps, and Brig Gen. Wm. Manons is in command of Anderson's division. Brig Gen. Gordon, of Ga., has been promoted to Major Generalcy, and is in command of Early's division. Hayes's and Stafford's Louisiana brigades have been consolidated, and Gen.

Daniel, cav, Early's division, wounded, leg amputated. Capt. Turner--Gen. Ewell's staff, leg amputated. Our men have been fighting and marching unceasingly for the last eight days, but they are as willing as ever to stand up to the rack, and are most confident and hopeful, and nightly around the blazing camp fires the songs of praise are heard ascending heavenward. Such an army as this, under so gallant a leader can be conquered — never, never. Our position is

sion gave way at Spotsylvania Court House, Gen Lee was about leading a charge to recover the lost ground, but the men insisted upon his going to the rear. A soldier who was in the fight at that point writes the following: The 12th of May, 1864, will be ever memorable and remembered as the day of one of the most bloody and obstinate struggles which have ever market the annals of war, or added fresh horrors to this most cruel contest. Before daylight we were moved up to the support of Hayes's and Stafford's brigades in the works, and scarcely had the gray tinge of morning began to dispel the darkness of a damp and drizzly night, when, after the three cheers which we knew to be the precursor of a charge, and a brief scattering are on our right, we were astonished and mortified to see the troops in that direction pouring out of the works in the woods, showing that the enemy had there broken a passage. The enemy poured their concentrated masses through the gap, and moving on the

vern. Their lines extended on either side, but on the left reached across to the plankroad. In addition to the casualties elsewhere mentioned we learn that Adjutant Laird, of the Maryland battalions was killed, and Captain Crane, commanding the battalion, severely wounded. Our entire loss in the fight is estimated at three hundred and fifty, while that of the enemy is much greater. The latest — over two thousand prisoners captured. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon our forces made an attack upon Warren's Fifth corps, on the Weldon railroad, driving them back upwards of two miles, and capturing over two thousand prisoners, including Brigadier-General Hayes, and a number of stands of colors. Grant will have to exert himself if he would retrieve his reputation before the meeting of the Chicago Convention. The peace sentiment is on the increase at the North, and a few more blows like that struck by the Confederates yesterday will hasten the close of the war.

ery and mortars opened a heavy fire upon them, to which they responded feebly. The firing was kept up for two hours, breaking up the enemy's intention, if he had any, of charging our breastworks. Our casualties are few. This morning, just after day, a heavy wagon train was seen moving to the rear. The enemy still hold the Weldon road, about two and a half miles south of this place. Our losses in the fight of yesterday evening are estimated at three hundred and fifty; that of the enemy was much heavier. [Third Dispatch.] Petersburg, August 19. --About 3 o'clock this evening, the arrangements being completed, our forces attacked, in front and rear, Warren's Fifth Yankee corps, which had made a temporary lodgment on the Weldon railroad, two miles below here, driving them backwards upwards of two miles, and capturing over two thousand prisoners, including Brigadier-General Hayes, and a number of stands of colors. A heavy rain has been falling all day.

under guard and sent to the rear, where they were formed into line and marched to General Hill's headquarters. The battle still progressed successfully until the enemy was driven back to the position from which he advanced in the morning. At dark, our lines were close up to his works, and occasional volleys of musketry showed still farther fighting. Among the prisoners taken is Brigadier-General Hays, of Massachusetts, several colonels, and other field officers of less grade. General Hayes was brought into town last night. During the engagement we left a number of men taken prisoners, but we understand they were afterwards recaptured. The success which followed the attack threw our men into the best spirits, and every soldier wore a smile of satisfaction upon his countenance. The result of the attack is highly satisfactory to the officers in command, and is viewed in the most favorable light. The enemy has been materially weakened by the loss of three thousand o

dent are understood to be intimate, he is understood to speak on such subjects as if "by authority." The effect of his assurances on the public mind are visible in the general relinquishment of the hitherto prevalent idea that the drawing would be deferred. Apart from Mr. Dawson's assurances, however, I may state that we have satisfactory assurances from higher (official) sources that the draft will be enforced on the day alluded to. Provost- Marshal-General Fry telegraphs (this day) to General Hayes to spare no pains to have all the arrangements perfected by the 1st proximo. There is reason to believe, also, that a numerous body of Western troops are now on their way towards this city with a view to the maintenance of order. In Illinois the revolution fever seems to be high from the following extract from a letter giving an account of a meeting at Springfield on the 21st ultimo: The Hon, and Right Rev. Henry Clay Dean next spoke. He laid it down as a distinct proposition

have returned to this city, and were again committed to that institution yesterday.-- These prisoners, together with several hundred others, have for some time past been imprisoned in certain buildings in Salisbury, which are surrounded by a high enclosure. Within this enclosure there were a number of Yankee prisoners of war, and until recently everything worked quietly together. On Saturday last, however, an emeute occurred between the outside and inside prisoners, instigated, it is believed by Brigadier-General Hayes, as the leader of the former class, which for a time bid fair to be of serious consequences; but it was finally quelled, after two or three of the deserters received bruised faces and one of them had an arm broken. The indignation had become so great, however, between these to sections of prisoners, that other difficulties were apprehended, and it was to prevent such that the deserters have been brought back here, leaving nothing but prisoners of war at Salisbury.

from Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania are not very full, but sufficient to indicate that those States have gone for the Lincoln party. The Tribune says: Our returns from Ohio, as yet, include the soldiers' vote in two or three hospitals only; but the home vote alone shows a large Union majority, which will of course be largely increased by the returns from the armies in the field. Even without this, the Union majority is large, and the gain of representatives in Congress decided. Messrs. Hayes and Eggleston (Union) succeed Messrs. Long and Pendleton (Copper) in the two Cincinnati districts, while Samuel Shellabarger (Union) has beaten S. S. Cox, (Copper) in the Columbus district by 1,000 majority on the home vote, which that of the army is certain largely to increase. Pennsylvania has probably given us a small majority on the home vote, which that of the army will largely increase.--The gains reported in our telegraphic dispatches are gains on the Governor vote of last y

rent Yankee regiments. Eighteen of the Sixteenth Michigan arrived in Bristol on Saturday. The commissioners on the part of the United States authorities in that department, and those of the Confederate States appointed by General Vaughan to confer for the exchange of non combatants, met at Dandridge, a few days since, to no effect. Later.--We continue to whip the enemy in East Tennessee and drive him towards Knoxville. From official dispatches, received yesterday, we learn "that Lieutenant Hayes, of Vaughan's command, with twenty men, attacked a select party of thirty of the enemy, north of Bean's station, killing and capturing all of them but three. "On the 17th, Lieutenant Haynds, of the same command, attacked the enemy at Mossy creek, near Strawberry Plains, killing thirteen and taking a number of prisoners."
