authentic advices from the front, received later in the day, dissipated all rumors of battle. On the north and south sides all was quiet. The impression that Grant would make an attack before the election is wearing away, as he let yesterday go by without any demonstration. The telegraph informs us he is engaged taking a cenous voters into battle to-day, or even to- morrow. It would, doubtless, strengthen the Lincoln vote, to have it flashed through the country, on election day, that Grant had made a "combined attack upon Richmond and Petersburg, and was driving the rebels before him," or something to that effect. Our only reason for doubting thme prisoners. Butler lost from fifteen hundred to two thousand of his troops, white and black, and inflicted no injury upon us worth mentioning. To return to Grant.

Two hundred wagons, loaded with commissary stores, got in to them safely last week, while our cavalry was scouting in another direction. They came over a country road.
