Grant Not Used-up—His Plan—A .
P. Hill Again Tricked by Warren
What Prisoners Said —The Ef
fect on the Peace Party, etc.
Richmond, Aug. 23, 18G4.
Grant is not used-up; on the con
trary, lie has gained the Weldon road
and holds it; after, repeated efforts to
dislodge him, which have cost us dear.
This will teach me caution in my pre
dictions. Heretofore I have always
taken a gloomy view of things, be
cause my superstition taught me that
to predict failure was to ensure suc
cess. I departed from my rale in my
letter, and the result is before you.
Grant’s plan was sensible. He put
a large body of troops oft transports
and moved them down tlie river in
broad daylight; at the same time he
sent two or more divisions to the north
side and attacked our lines below
Chaffin’s bluff. When night came,
the transports were headed up stream,
the troops disembarked and a still
more furious attack made on the north
side. Under cover of this attack—
Warren—the same fellow, who whip
ped A. P. Hill at Bristoe Station last
fall—pushed back our cavalry, seized
the Weldon road and began fortifying.
Hill attacked him on Friday, captur
ed 2200 prisoners and drove him some
distance. Instead of following up
this success, the next day (Saturday)
was passed in idleness; the enemy,
meanwhile, fortifying with might and
main. Early Sunday morning, we
renewed the attack, and after a hard
fight were repulsed with the loss of
1000.
Prisoners taken in the beginning
of the action, told us if wo persisted
in the movement we were then ma
lting we would fall into a trap which
had been laid for us. So, at least,
the story goes. To-day, the papers
intimate that another attempt will he
made to dislodge the enemy, and it is
said that Gen. Lee has expressed his
determination to show Grant what
fighting is. Heavy firing was heard
early this morning; no doubt the
bloody work is going on; the result
you will know before this letter reach
es you.
A great hullaballoo will be made
over this success in order to intimi
date the Chicago Convention. Will
it have the effect ? Scarcely; for the
Democrats have sense enough to see
that Grant is still a long way from
Richmond, and they know, or ought
to know, that peace is their only
platform. Still, it would be well fur
the peace candidate if we could regain
the position, which enables the enemy
to endanger other and more important
lines of communication. PAN.
From the Valley.—An official dis
patch from Gen. Early’s command on
Saturday, stales that a portion of onr
forces in the Valley crossed
doab, at Front Royal, on-the lG;b, and
drove the enemy’s cavalry, which re
treated towards Winchester, burning the
hay and wheat stacks in their route. —
On the 17th, Sheridan began to retire
from his position near Strasburg, was
pursued, and two divisions of the Gth
corps, with a large force of cavalry,
were overtaken at Winchester and driven
through the town, losing over two hun
dred prisoners. The enemy fell back
towards Harper’s Ferry.
Unofficial advices put the whole force
of Sheridan in the Valley at only forly
one thousand men;
Tub Enemy at Mobile. —Tho Yankees
have landed in some force at Cedar
Point, on the most southerly point of the
west coast of the Bay, and half a mile
from Fort Powell. This looks like a
trial of strength on our land frjnt. Wuh
steady men behind our entrenchments,
they will find it a hard road to travel.
It is certain that the enemy has no
force adequate to the investment of the
city They will try a sudden dash to
scare us out of the oily. The citizens,
without the troops, can block that game,
for one man inside the works is worth
ten outside of them. AU engineers pros
nounoe these works the strongest m toe
Confederacy. —Mobile lU'J-
Gov. Vance, of .North Carolina, has
issued a proclamation, calling on deser
ters to return to (heir commands, under
penalty of being dealt with summarily
when captured. His promise holds good
for thirty days. Orders have been is»
sued for the entire militia of the State to
turn out and assist in their arrest.
Wheeler’s Doings. —The Savan
nah Republican says: Wc had the
pleasure’ of a conversation with one
of our highly esteemed citizens who
arrived on the Central train yesterday
morning direct from Jonesboro. He
had traveled with an officer direct
from Gen. Wheeler’s command, who
gave him tho following information :
Gen’l Wheeler sent out a sqdad of
300 men, who struck tho State road
at Adairsville, where they captured
some 1700 head of cattle that were
guarded by 000 Federate, mostly from
Ohio and Illinois, and killed a great
many of them and captured 80, who
were brought to Athens and thence
to Macon, where they arrived Sunday
last. Resides distributing 700 head
of the captured cattle to soldiers’ fa
milies who w’ere in a destitute condi
tion, 1030 were sent to Milledgeville.
Independent of the number of cat
tle captured, Gen. Jackson brought
into Atlanta some eight hundred more.
Wheeler and the remainder of his
force proceeded on towards Resaca,
and captured that place on Monday
week last, after which he continued
Gn to Dalton, which he also captured,
taking two hundred prisoners. The
railroad from Adairsville to Dalton, a
distance of forty-eight miles, is en
tirely destroyed. All the cross-ties
were burnt and the rails rendered
utterly useless. From Dalton Gen.
Kelly was sent round to Tunnel Hill
with his brigade, capturing the Tun
nel.
Fall of Fort Morgan.
The flag of iruco which went down
yesterday to communicate with the Yan
kee fleet failed again in its purpose.
There was no proper officer from the
lower fleet to meet it. It brought back,
however, Iheinformation that Fort Mor
gan capitulated at 2 o’clock p. m. on
Tuesday, the 23d. Os its garrison, five
hundred and eighty one were made
prisoners and sent to New Orleans.
During the bombardmont, seventeen of
our incu were killed.
The fort, we learn, was invested and
cut off from all succor, or hope of es
cape, and was defended manfully, as we
had a right to expect.
We learn also that befaro the capitula
tion Gen. Page destroyed everything that
could be destroyed—so that in material
the enemy has not got much.
This information is got, wo under
stand, from a Ya’nkce officer who was
preseht with our flag of truce. Some
statements of tho mode of tho attack
and tho result were made by that officer,
but, rather than publish them, we prefer
to wait a little for intelligence more
minute, and, perhaps, more accurate.
It is enough for us to know that the fort
is in the hands of the enemy, and what
reliance we have now for the safety of
ihe city lies immediately around it by
land and water. The Generals on shore
are well known to our people. Not so,
perhaps, Commodore Ferrand, wlto has
in charge the water appyoach. For the
present, it is enough for us to say that
he is the officer who commanded at Dru
ry’s Bluff in 18G2, when the enemy at*
tempted to capture Richmond by water,
as he is now trying to capture Mobile.
Tho country rang with the praises of
his skill and courage on that occasion,
and we have no reason to believe that he
will not boas successful here in Mobile.
Let us confide in him. 110 has a repu
tation to sustain, to say nothing of tho
stimulus of patriotism. —. Mobile Tribune,
21th.
Ho ! for Missouri. —We havo advi
ces from Camden, Arkansas, as lato as
tho 13th of the present month. The
camp of tho veteran Price was in a great
stir. At last “Old Dad” and his gallant
- Missourians were unleashed by authority,
and their heads were turned towards the
promised- land. By this time they are
on their way in very formidable force,
and with the brightest promise of aug
menting their numbers at every step of
advance into that tyranny ridden and
downtrodden land. The movement is
fraught with the greatest consequences
to the general cause, and from what wc
have seen of tho temper of the Missouri
people and the fright of the enemy,
there are tho most cheering reasons to
hope for its complete success in the re
demption of that glorious aud long suf
fering State.
Gen. Magrudor comes from Texas to
command the Department left by Gen.
Price. General Gano has demolished a
regiment of Yankees (blacks) near Fort
Smith. General Shelby is already in
Missouri with a strong force of cavalry,
and his star is “looming up.” We look
soon for glorious tidings from Missouri.
General Rosecrans is calling for six
months’ men to meet the invasion, but it
is believed that seven men will flock to
Price’s standard where. Rosecrans can
get one. —Mobile Register, 21th.
New Orleans. -From certain signs
that have lately made themselves ma
nifest, the friends of the Confederate
cause need not be surprised to learn
that Generals Banks and Canby will
have use for their troops nearer to
their headquqpters than Mobile Bay.
Memphis was one of those surprises
which, like claps of thunder, some
times suddenly fall as from a clear
sky in times of war. There is a Con
federate army, superior in strength,
and greatly superior in fighting re
nown, to that under the New Orleans
Generals, within striking distance of
the Crescent City. A blow from it is
far more within the range of proba
bilities than the late swoop of Forrest
In Memphis.
A Way to “Head” Bed Bugs —ls any
of our readers need a sure remedy for
bed bugs, they can have mine, and
cleansethe foulesthouse of these trouble
some vermin without expense. They
have only to wash with salt and water,
filling the cracks where they frequent
with salt, and you may look in vain for
them. Sait seems inimical to bed bugs,
andlhey will not trail through it. 1

From Atlanta.
A letter dated Atlanta, 2Vugust 27,
says :
Gen. Ilood has issued an order that
none but reliable men and men of
nefve shall constitute the picket line.
Their instructions are to press the
enemy, and give prompt notice of any
movement or change of position. Yes
terday morning, Cheatham’s division,
or a portion of it, were on tho skirmish
line in front of the militia, and some
of the men kept advancing, failing to
meet with any opposition. This they
reported, and received instructions to
go on. The whole line advanced, en
tering the enemy’s works, which, to
their astonishment, were entirely de
serted —not a Federal soldier being
found on the right of Peachtree road,
their left wing having fallen back.
The indications were that the enemy
had decamped in a hurry. Large
numbers of excellent oilcloths and
other articles, together with a quantity
of provisions, were left behind, which
our boys proceeded to appropriate.
Yesterday evening I met Col. ,
of Alabama, commanding a brigade
of the cavalry which struck Sherman’s
communication and supplies. The
reason ho and his command are here,
they met an infantry regiment of 525
men driving 1750 fine beef cattle to
Sherman, and after the exchange of
a few compliments the cattle changed
hands, and he reached our lines with
1000 of the finest beef cattle lie has
seen since the war, fresh from Ohio.
He spoke in the most hopeful terms
of Wheeler’s work, and thought his
work of destruction to the road was
so thorough that it could not be re
paired under six weeks or two months.
Ho said it was Gen. Wheeler’s pur
pose to make the work complete. I
hope to be able to send you glorious
tidings from this army in a few days.

Y ANKEE TROUBLES IN THE WEeT.
It may not bo uuiulcresliug to our
readers to know how (ho Yankees nro
vexed round by Indian troubles on their
border. Tho l'ollowingis tho latest, cop
ied from the N. Y. Tribune of tho 20ih:
St. Louis, Aug. 19 —Information from
Fort Riley, Gen. Blunt’s hcadquarlcrs,
says that three ranches near the Little
Blue, hnvo been burned by Iho Indians,
the slock run off, and tho inhabitants
killed.
The Indians left, behind them nothing
but (be bones of their murdered victims
anil ashes of the burning buildings des
troyed by them.
The citizens of Washington, Republic
and Clay counties have been armed by
Geu. Blunt.
Four hunters were killed by Ihe Indi
ans, at Salina fifty miles west of Fort
Riley.
Between sixty and seventy dead bodies
of white men were soon between Milos
burg and the Little Bluo.
No ranches are left standing between
the Big Sandy and the Lilllo Blue.
The inhabitants of Ike places between
Fort Kearney and Denver have lied.
Four trains were captured by tlio In
dians on Ihe Little Blue, and all the stock,
consisting of four hundred and fifty head
of cattle, and a large number of mulcs|
were driven off.
• Tho Indians are well mounted, ami
most of them arc armgd with long range
guns.
Capt. Thompson, with seventy-five men
of the 10th Kansas cavalry and one how
itzer, are moving in pursuit of tho Indi
ans who committed the outrages ou tho
Little Blue.
Dispatches from him, dated the 4lh
inst,., say that the Indians movod towards
Republican River 1,000 oxen and large
herds of horses and mules.
Geu. Sherry of the Kansas militia has
also joined in pursuit of the Indians.—
He is moving north of Thompson’s com
mand.
Bight days have elapsed since commu
nication has boen had with the points
farther west thau fourteen miles from Ihe
Little Blue.
Within that distance, sixteen miles,
women and children have been massacred
by tho Indians, and every dwelling burn
ed.
Tho families of a number of settlers
have been sent off to places of safety,
while the male heads of them havo turn- |
ed out to find the Indian trail.
Gen. Blunt has sont orders to Forts
Larned, Zevah, Ellsworth and Salina, for
the commanders at these points to send
out scouts in tho direction taken by the
Indians, and to keep their forces ready
to join in the general pursuit when the
trail of tho Indians is discovered.
Oeu. Blunt is doing everything pos
sible with the small force at his com
mand.
Denver City, Aug. 18.—A regiment
of ono hundred day cavalry, authorized
by the War Department throe day ago,
to fight tho Indians, is already more
than than half filled, and it is expected
that it will be filled in less than ten days.
It is to operato along the Platte Valley,
and to protect the overland mail and
wagon trains. In this they are to have
the co-operation of troops from the East.
It is hoped that, the route will soon be
re-established and the Indians soverely
chastised.
At present all the trains and mail
coaches arc stopped.
Friendly Indians report that extensive
combinations exist among Ibe Cheyen
nes, the Arapahocs, the Krolvns, the
Sioux, the Camanches, tho Utes, and the
Suakes, and that they intend towage a
war of extermination against tho whites.
Martial law has been enforced here,
and all places of business havo been
closed until further orders.
Several independent military compan
ies are about ready to start out, and a
few days will demonstrate the truth or
falsity of tho many wild aud alarming
rumors floating about.
Provisions of all kinds arc very high
and rapidly advancing.
Unless communication with tho States
is speedily resumed, there will be much
sufferine if not actual starvation.
later.
The Indians murdered several families
and burned a number of houses on Cher
ry Crook, 25 miles from here, last night.
Settlers are fleeing to this city for pro
tection.
The commander off lic District, f o day,
issued a special order for the enrollment
of all ablo bodied males of over 1G years
of age.
Drafting to fill the 100 day regiments
will be commenced immediately.
| A line of block bouses is being erec
ted around the city.
The fact that the telegarph wires are
unmolested leads to the belief that no
white men aro engaged with the Indians
in the work of destruction.
* Recruits for Massachusetts.
The New Vork Evening Rost, has a long
account of the mode in which Massachu
setts is recruiting foreigners for the Fed
eral service. The British steamer Bel
lona has quietly landed four or livo hun
dred men on llecr Island, in Boston har
bor. Two other similar (rips have been
made.
The Rost says:
A part of the story of this curious em
igration scheme is not secret; but :s
novel and interesting. The men who
came in tho Bellona were of different
nationalities, but were coilecicd in
Belgium under the direction of Ju'ian
Allen, formely colonel of the volt
known organization called the “Polish
Legion,” of this city, a regiment which
it was proposed to recruit at tho begin
ning of the war among tho Polish refu
gees of this country, but its ranks.weie
not filled in time, and the men were cons
Bolidated into other regiments. Mr. Al
len went abroad to assist his countrymen
in their late struggle for independence,
and he is now doing what he can for
American interests.
Six hundred men gathered within three
weeks, and constant accessions were
made to their numbers. It was not dif
ficult to collect them. The people of Eu- i
rope are .acquainted with the efforts ma
king here to obtain recruits, and many
persons desiring to come to lh;s coiiotiy
frequently make application to our Con
suls, supposing, not unnaturally, that
some facilities fur transportation hither
might be afforded by our diplomatic rep.
represeulaiives; but those officers, in
accordance whir she instructions ol onr
Government, reject the proposals
When, however, it became known a’
Antwerp, recently, that Mr. Allen would
receive perrons and send them acres;)
tho ocean, the tidings were quickly cm
veyed to the principal ciiiei near the
seaboard of the continent, nud immodi
ately men came from all directions—
They walked about. Antwerp in crowds.
A part of them were so much elated at
the prospect of going to America that
th-y marobed in pr<>< ; .. inns, carrying
rags to repre-s at . -,t r.i, on long stioks
like flag staffs, much io the.r.stonishment
of some of the tovtn people and tha
amusement of others, who thought a
new society had suVi uly Rprung into
existence, and that ragamuffins were the
only members.
Ou the G;h of July tho vessel sailed
down the channel for Antwerp. There
were two or throe hundrod men cn the
wharf who desired to go on board, but
for reasons already given were not per
mitted. Their demonstrations as she
took her departure indicated much dis
appointment. Como of thorn followed
• long tho ba..k. waving haudkcrchiefj
and calling out to the men on dcok to
have the y id I hejr would
coma on board in email boats. Ofcouisj
tho. request was not heeded, and somo of
their number wero observed to manifest
tlicir vexation in tears.
Regular drills constituted a part, of
the daily cxcvciso at sea. A young Vole,
who was an officer ia our army, hut who
resigned and engaged with his country
men in tho recent attempted revolution,
presided at those drilte, and performed
important services from the first.
Among Ihoso emigrants jvero many
Germans who could sing and play; to
tho lakov were givon instruments, and
the former assisted the musicians with
their voices.
AT BOSTON.
1 mor., with the < oeption already
noticed, enlisted on Deer r land, were
(Jammed, and afterwards went lo the
military rendezvous in another part of
ho harbor In four .1, ? , iv-, n Umß
jot arrival wan concluded.
Nobody not interested was wiser, while
three individuals were much richer, and
four hundred men were credited on Ilia
quota of Boston.
MORE EMIGRANTS OOMIKO.
More of those emigrants aro coining.
Another vessel loaded with them is ex*
peeled at Boston in a few Jays. Tho
facts are known in Europe; aud this
new system of emigration, first made
practicable through the wants’and the
enterprise of men id' Boston, appears to
bo successful. No efforts have been
made on the continent,, so far as yet ap
pears, to put a slop to it.
| Galignaui’s Messenger, in announcing
tho departure of tho last vessel from
Antwerp, gives no pav cnlsr.-, but says
that it contained three hundred and fifty
“German recruits for tile AmericanFed
