"No more permits or protection will be given by
the Secretary of War to corporations or private par

Arrival of Capt. Thomas Park.
Copt. Park, who received a frightful wound
at Petersburg just after the explosion of the
mine, has arrived home and is doing well.
He will wear his deep and honorable sears
through life. Ii is gallantry has been noted
in this paper heretofore.
He relates to us in substance the following
facts about the fight of the 16th at Deep Bot
tom : The 04th Ga. llegt. was ordered hur
riedly ou the 15th to the north of the James,
and on the next day, at Deep Bottom, were
deployed at several feet intervals along a line
of temporary works. Large forces of the
Yankees confronted tbera and charged through
the lines to their left. The 64th was so busi
ly engaged fighting the enemy in their front
that they did not notice that they were flanked
until the enemy came up behind them. Gen.
Girardy was killed with the colors of the 64th
in his hands, just behind it. about the time
the lines were broken. Lieut. Beasly, com
manding Capt. Redd's (now Capt. Park’s)
company, from this city, and Orderly Sergeant
John Wcoifolk. seeing that they were nearly
surrounded, made their escape, being ou Lhe
right of the company. Lieut. Waller was the
only other officer'who escaped from the regi
ment. The enemy closed in on the left of the
company while it was fighting those in front,
and captured most of it, including Lieut. R.
A. Russell of tli 13 county, who commanded its
left. Lieut. Russell had not entirely recovered
from the wound received on the 30th, but was
at his post fighting to the last.
Capts. George Thomas, (son of lion. G. E.
Thomas,) Brown and Jenkins, and Lieuts.
Russell, Elliott, McCoy and Sommee, were
known tc be alive, as they were seen by some
of our wounded who were left iu the hands
of the enemy, and were afterwards rc-cap
tured. Mr. Argile, so favorably known of
this county, and E. 11. Jones, of Chaitahoo
ehce county, were killed on the field from
Company “F. ’ Graddick, of Harris county,
was wounded in the leg severely ; J, M. Hunt
of Muscogee, iu the fingers, and Dir. Welch, t of
Chattahoochee, iu the thigh.
Lieut. Russell, Dolly McGebee, John Wel
don, Bowarwick, Win. Reed, W. Cannon, Jas.
Slaughter, and Michael Fitzpatrick, are known
to have been captured. Lieut. Beasly, Wool
folk, Reese. Cameron, Hammond, Morgan and
Simmons, are with the company, safe. Cap
tain Burch’s old company has only four men
left. This Regiment has fought most gallant
ly on every field, and has suffered terribly.—
Its capture is attributable to the obstinacy
with which it fought while holding the out
post, and the interval between the files. Lt.
Beasly and Woolfolk have fought bravely on
many fields, and left only when they saw their
company completely surrounded.
“Orderly” Sale,
We are rejoiced to learn that Serg’t It. M. Gray,
who it was feared was killed in the fight of 22d
July before Atlanta, is still in the land of the
living. A letter to his wife from Camp Chase,
Ohio, under date of the 3d inst., brings the above
pleasing intelligence. That letter states that, dur
ing a charge in tho fight referred to, bis gun was
struck by a ball and driven with such force against
his hip as to disable him for a time, and he was
taken prisoner. He requests us to publish the
following names of members of tho same regi
ment (37th Ga.) who were captured with him and
are now at Camp Chase:
Philo Conley, Levi Holder, Cos. A; A, J. Wil
liams, Ed. Etheridge, Cos. C: J. F.. Bailv, Cos. II:

August 6th, 1864. j
(General Order, No. —.)
The glorious conduct of the three Brigades of
of the Division, Mab one's, Sander’s and Wright’s,
employed on the 30th July, in the expulsion of
the enemy from his possession of a part of our
lines elsewhere than upon our own immediate
front and the magnificent results achieved in the
execution of the work, devolves upon the under
signed the ever-pleasing office of rendering his
thanks and congratulations. The immortalized
Beauregard has praised you, your corpse and army
commanders have expressed their gratiUdo for
your valuable services on this occasion, and their
admiration of the splendid manner in which your
duty was approached and performed.
The enemy had sprung his first "mine’’ in the
new plan by which he now seeks to penetrate our
lines, he had gained possession of tho ‘‘crater" and
of the continuous works he had previously mass
ed three of his corpse and two divisions of an
other to prosecute his anticipated success; and he
had now given tho order for the advance of bis
crowded lines, but fortunately for the “hour" you
had made the ground, with the tread of veterans
and the determination of men you charged the
works upon which he had planted the hated flag.
The integrity of the whole line was, by your
valor, promptly re-established, the enemy’s grand
effort to penetrate our rear signally defeated and
results achieved unparalleled in the history of the
war, when compared to your strangth and the
losses you sustained.
With less than a force of three thousand effi
cients and with a casualty list of 593, you killed
seven hundred of bis people and by his own ac
count wounded over three thousand.
You captured 1,101 prisoners, embracing 87 offi
cers, 17 stands of colors, 2 guidons and 1,916
stands of small arms. These are the results of
the noble work which you performed, and which
entitles your banner's scroll of honorable deeds to
the inscription:
“Tbe Crater," Petersburg, July 30th, 1864.”
While thus we have so much cause for congrat
ulation and pleasure lot us Eot and neveT forget
tho memory of the noble dead who foil in the glo
rious work whoso consummation we have been
spared to establish and commemorate.

Tns Eksmv.—Tha Yankees have landed in some

of the west coast of the. Bay, and half a mile from
Fort Powell. This looks like a trial of our strength
oneurlacd front. With steady men behind our
entrenchment*, they will find it a hard road to
travel.
It is certain that the enemy has no ioree adequate
to the investment of the city. They will try a sud
den dash to scars us out of the city. The citizens,
without the troops, can block that game; for one
man inside the works is worth ten outside ot theca.

The ’’impendinti Crisis” at the
Xortln. •
We present below a few specimens of those
turbulent manifestations which have lately
filled the Northern press, and are designed to
have their effect upon the issue of the impen
ding conflict between the Democracy and the
Black Republicans. .
[From the Philadelphia Age.]
WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING.
Any one who will go among the people—
the people a? contradistinguished from the
politicians—will be satisfied that they thor
oughly understand the condition to which
the country has been brought: that they are
not blind nor to be blinded as 10 the cause of
the evils they deplore, and that they know
tiie remedy, and intend to apply it.
Everywhere plain people are saying that in
the “good old times"—not very Tong ago—
when the Democratic party ruled, our coun
try was united and prosperous.
f * •* * * *
With the success of the Abolition party
and its assumption ofpower, all was changed.
The Abolitionists found peace and Union—
they brought about war and disunion. In
| place of freedom and prosperity, they brought
; about despotism and misery. They have so
i shaped this unnatural war—the end of their
fanatical agitation—as to prevent, so far as in
them lay, all hope of an early or honorable
| settlement. Their policy has loaded the na
j tionwitha tremendous debt, until it staggers
!ou the verge of bankruptcy. With them in
power, we can have no prospect save misery,
j and no hope for the restoration of the Union.
| They have done, and are doing, all that ig
; norant, reckless and fanatical men can do, to
accomplish the ruin of their country.
If we would save the nation, we must go
back to the Democratic policy. The mass of
the people know this, and "hence our confi
dence in the future. All that is needed i3
! prudence, and the selection of proper men to
i be our standard bearers in the approaching
j contest. The nation is to be saved—if at all—
|by the ballot box. We rejoice that to day the
j Democratic party is purified of many "who
| disgraced it in former times. These, as was
| fit, long ago deserted to the enemy. The
; timid, the treacherous, the time-serving, have
; been weeded and their places arc filled
jby the good and the wise—the conservative
| and intelligent—of all parties. If successful
| —and everything indicates that we shall bo
| successful—we may yet seethe Union of these
States restored, and peace, happiness and
j prosperity again the'portion of cur people.
[From the Portland (Me.) Advertiser.]
WARNING WORDS.
The Wade and Winter Davis protest against
the usurpation of President Lincoln, and
which now fill with alarm the leading reftect
! ing minds in the country, contains sig
nificant words of warming :
“ The President, by-preventing thi
from becoming a law, holds the electoral votes
of the rebel Stales at tho-dictation of his por
! sonal ambition,
“If those votes turn the balance in his fa
; vor, is it to be supposed that his competitor,
: defeated by such means, will acquiesce
We, hold ii as certain as that time rolls
round, if Mr. Lincoln should attempt to claim
; an election by virtue of the votes of the sub
! served States, his inauguration would be re
j sisied by a million of bayonets, and loyal
j leaguer?, shoddy contractors and place-hunt
■ iug followers of the usurper would be swept
from the earth, like so ranch stubble in the
i pathway of the leviathan. The groat West
| and Northwest, the Middle States and the
| States in the East, would not stop to pass res
j olutions of secession; but they would raise
■ tb® loved flag of the Union, and drive from
| the nation’s capital into the Potomac the
whole horde of placemen, who should thus
seek to trample out the great popular fran
| chise, and cheat the nation of its presidential
; and legitimate choice.
If a like result of the election shall beef
! fected by undue influence and military control
| over the votes of soldiers away from, their
; States, and an election claimed by virtue of
i such perversions of the elective franchise, it
j would in like manner, as that indicated by
j Messrs. Wade and Davis, awaken a spirit of
: revolution and resistance as implacable as the
; ocean storm.
j Ho; the opposition ask for nothing but fair
; P\ a y their constitutional rights, and these they
j vvill have in the coming elections, though cities
| be laid in ashes, and blood bathe both valleys
: and mountain-tops as the price of them. The
opposition is constituted ©f a law-abiding and
patient people. They have endured the iron
heel of usurpation long enough, and ooustant
: Iy, for three years past. They trust to end it
j fey a constitutional and lawful process, and
they will not be cheated out of the hope.—
j And the warning of Wade and Davis is both
j true and timely.
[From the Clairmont (Ohio) Sun.]
| THE FEELING IN THE COUNTRY AGAINST LIN
COLN.
The Clairmont (Ohio) Sun thus speaks of
! the feeling with which the tax and conscrip
: tion candidate—the hero of draft proclama
! tions—is regarded in that county. It say3 :
j If permitted to judge of the feelings in other
locations by that of our own. Mr. Lincoln will
i be the worst defeated man who ever ran.
The people, save and except the shoddies,
are almost universally opposed to his re-elec-
I tion. They cannot be hoodwinked any longer.
; He is, emphatically, a “dead cock in the pit."
If he should establish a military bastile in
j every school district, and had the power to
convert the leaves of the trees into greenbacks,-!
with all his tools to peddle them, he w.ould
fail. Saltpetre will not save him. His polit
ical carcass is too far decomposed. Let the
Democrats, as they surely will, nominate a
: man of broad and comprehensive views, op
' posed to public stealing, and one who consid
-1 ers the interest of the white man paramount
to that of the negro, one who is in favor of
I the Union with or without slavery, and their
j success will be ceirtain.

the object of the meeting to be to take conn- i

From the “General News,*’ columu of
the Baltimore “Gazette” of the 23d, we
make the following extracts :
FROM GRANT’S ARMY —THE BATTLE OF
FRIDAY.
We are now told that the fighting South
of the James liver has been much more
serious, and "the Federal losses far heavier
than they were previously reported to be.
Warren’s corps—the fifth—which, during
the early part of the week had been with
drawn from before Petersburg and held
as a reserve near City Point, in view of
the operations there in progress on the
north bank of the James river, was or
dered at daylight on Sunday morning to
return to Petersburg, march south of that*
city, and occupy by a rapid movement
the railroad to Weldon.
On Thursday afternoon Warren reach
ed Beam’s Station, eight miles from Pe
tersburg, the Confederate pickets falling
back before his advance. Whilst a por
tion of his force was destroying the track,
Warren, with the remainder, removed
Northward along the railroad in the di<
rection of Petersburg, for about a mile,
when he encountered the enemy in force.
After some skirmishing, during which he
lost about four hundred men, he intrench
ed himself, and halted for the night. In
making j&s movement, "Warren did not
sever hl§ifcwineetion with the Ninth corps,
which occupied tho lines before Peters
burg, but kept up his junction with the
latter at the Jerusalem plank road. It
was at this point of junction that the
Confederates on Friday, in the midst of a
heavy rain storm, struck Warren ou his
right flank, broke up two of his divisions,
and forced them back a considerable dis->
tance, taking many prisoners. The
torious advance of the enemy was, how*
ever, cheeked after a fierce engagement
by the 9tli corps, which was moved up to
Warren’s support 3 the 2d corps (Hans
cock’s being withdrawn from the North
side of James river to assist in maintain'
ing the line intact, and to aid in repelling
the enemy, in case the emergency should
require it. The result was that the Con
federates, after inflicting a severe loss in
killed and wounded, retired to their in*
fcrenchments, carrying with them from
nine hundred to a thousand prisoners.
Simultaneously with this attack upon
Warren’s right flank, another body of
Confederates fell upon liis extreme left,
west of the Weldon road, broke it, and
captured five or six hundred prisoners,
mostly from the regular brigade, com
manded by Con. Hays, who is himself
missing.
I The entire Federal line was then forced
> back with heavy loss in killed and wound'
ed. Before dark, however, the troops are
said to have been Tallied, and to have re*
covered, by a desperate charge, the ground
lost in the afternoon. The Confederates
lost in prisoners some two hundred and
thirty men, and are supposed to have suf
! rered severely in killed and wounded On
I Saturday the fighting was resumed, and
| was continued on Sunday morning, with
j what result is not known ; but it is claim
j ed that Warren still held the Weldon
i railroad at the last advices and was cn
\ gaged in destroying it. His whole loss
| on Friday is put at three thousand.
The movement north ol the James river
| has been suspended, if not abandoned ah
| together, only one corps—the tenth—
' remaining on that side of the stream, at
' Deep Bottom, where it is strongly in
trenched, and further protected by the
gunboats.
FROM THE VALLEY.
Thus far we have nothing additional
from the Upper Potomac. Sheridan, j
since his retreat from Strasburg to Win* !
cheater, has been acting entirely on the
defensive, and seems more solicitous to
protect the frontier from invasion than to
march out and offer battle to his active
adversary. Os the position occupied by
Sheridan it does not become us to speak;
but it has already been made public that
Averiil is guarding the fords of the Poto*
mac, and that the Confederates again ocs ;
cupy Martinsburg and hold complete pos>
session of the Baltimore and Ohio Kail*
road from that point to within a few miles
of Harper’s Ferry. We may add here,
that for several days past Sheridan has
been expecting an attack, as movements
on the part of Early were supposed to in -
dieate such an intention.
THE RAID IN SHERMAN 1 * REAR.
The Cincinnati Commercial’s Nashville
dispatch states that the first train from the
front since Wheeler’s raid reached Chats j
tanooga on the 18th. Heavy trains left
there at once for the front, the last one
of which is reported to have been captured ;
near Kingston by a small force detached
from Wheeler’s command. Since the oc*
eupation ot Cleveland Wheeler’s moves j
rnents have been mysterious, probably oc* 1
casioaed by his endeavors to avoid Kilpat
rick, who, with a strong force, is in pur' j
suit of him. Wheeler’s force consists of!
three divisions and one brigade, with ten I
pieces of artillery, in all about five thou- j
sand men.
The Nashville Times of the 22d con*
tains a report that Wheeler’s rebel force
had crossed die river at Chattanooga,
though there is a report that he has gone
to East Tennessee, which is discredited.
The *Knoxville fortifications (says the j
Times) can iesist five times the force of
Wheeler. ~ !

The Peace Democracy.—The Feace De
mocracy of New York city, held a meeting on
the night of the sth iust. AmoDg the long
series of resolutions unanimously adopted on
the occasion, arc the following :
Resolved , That the masses of the Democratic
party ot the city and State are for peace, so
an immediate cessation of hostilities, and for
the instant inauguration of negotiations so;
ending the present war ; and that we demand
a platform favorjng an armistice and a con
vention of the States from the Chicago Presi
dential Convention.
Resolved, That the gentlemen belonging to
this General Committee who have been placed
upon the delegation from this State to the Ch -
cag-o Convention be instructed, and the re
mainder of that delegation be, and they ere
hereby, respectfully recommended, in accord
ance with the sentiment of those we represent,
to cast their vote for no man as a candidate of
the Democratic party for President or Vice
President in favor qf the further prosecution
of this shameless, bloody and ruinous war.
The Armistice Movement in the
North. —The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald ,writes thus
concerning the armistice question :
The armistice question is almost the
only topic in Washington. It is known
positively that prominent republican party
managers regard it as vitally important
that Mr. Lincoln should immediately take
steps to open negotiations in this respect.
A conference was held a few days ago
of New England leaders, in which it wat.
concluded that the only safety of the ad
ministration party, under existing elrcimv
stances, is in proposing negotiation for the
termination of the war. These necessari
ly involve an armistice, which will allow
a postponement of the draft until after
the election, and will also permit soldiers
to be sent home to vote,
; Senator Wilson, ot Massachusetts, has
| P&id a visit to Washington, to represent
to the President the opinion ot the lie*
publicans of New England that this ne
cessity exists. Mr. Fessenden, the new
Secretaay of the Treasury, who is cogni
zant of the movement, is understood to
have declared that if something of this
kind is not done promptly, he will be
compelled to retire from the Cabinet.
The President is warmly in favor of
the experiment. lie thinks that, “if* it
can do no good, it will do no harm to try
it on.” It is the last card to be played
to confuse the Chicago Convention and
take the wind out of the sails of the peace
pien. That it will be done, and speedily,
there is no doubt. The Republican leads
ers here are not only full of it, but they
insist that without it they will be defeated.
Tiie Burning of Chambersdurg,
Pa.—As it. seems not to be generally
known that the burning of Chambersburg
was done by authority, as an act of retali
ation, we deem it proper to publish the
following copy of the order under which
Brigadier-General McC'ausland laid the
town in ashes:
“Headers Aevaxce Forces, C. S. A., 1
July 29, 1864. j
“To the Municipal Authorities of Chamber Aura,
Penneylcania :
“The houses of Andrew Hunter, Esqr.,
Alexander Pv. Boteler, Esqr., and Edmond
J. Lee, Esqr., citizens of Jefferson county,
Virginia, having been burned by order of
the officer commanding the Federal forces
in the department called the “Department
of West Virginia,” I have directed that
your town pay for said houses, to be hand
ed over to the owners the sum of SIOO,-
000 in gold, or its equivalent, or, if that
cannot be produced, $500,000 in Northern
current funds. In default of the payment
of this money, your town is directed to bs
laid in ashes, in retaliation for the burning
of said houses, and other houses of Vir
ginia by Federal authority.
