Affairs at Petersburg.
The result of General Grant's mining op.
eratfons and assault at Petersburg, is a
bloody repulse. We assnme, of course, that
the manly way is to look the facts square in
the face, instead of trying to cover them np
by falsehood. The consolation gained by
pretending that disaster is victory, is short
lived, and is dtarlj purchased by the neg
lect of the means necessary to retrieve the
disaster. Oar troopi were hurled upon the
Inner line of intrencbments as strong as the
one that had been mined at one point. The
black troops appear lo have been sent on an
impossible attempt It was a butchery to
no purpose.
It is to be hoped that General Grant will
find some wsy of operstirg with lees sacri
fice of his men. That rate of expenditure
of this precious materia! which might not
be fatal to final success in such a disparity of
forces as at Yickaburg, will not do when he
is contending with Lee's army. The conn,
try can furnish the men to put down this re
bellion, but it is time to bring military skill
Into play, instead of blind slaughter. And
it is believed to be possible to military
genius to bring Lee's army to battle on fair
terms, icstead of drawing it to its strongest
and best prepared position, when it- covers
all its communications, while we uncover
the whole North. Cincinnati Gazette.
Our Sherman's Army Correspondence,
Tbe letters from Sherman's army which
fill our first psge this morning, will be found
highly interesting. One of them contains
the only intelligible accocnt we have seen
of the fight between Sprague's brigade and
Wheeler's division at Decatur, on the day
of the desperate battle of the left wing,
We hae endeavored to erase from our cor
respondence all itemes of contraband infor
mation and have omitted some thiDgs our
readers would find satisfaction in knowing.
The reoent movement of Sherman's army
seems to have beea from the left toward the
right, and we understand him to be opera
ting on the west, rather than tbe east of city .
The rebel dispatches admit that our shells
are thrown Into tbo city. We have lost in
front of Atlanta ten cannon, and five thous
and two hundred and fifty men. Tbe rebel
low in killed has been three thouiaad nine
hundred and fifty-five; in prisoners, three
thousand two hundred Our troops have
buried three thousand two hundred and fif
ty-five rebels. Their wounded can not
numberless than fifteen thousand; making
tbe total rebel loss since Hood assumed

'yes, sab! yes, sabl but I'ae afraid of de flank

The Fight at Petersburgo..
Headquarters, Armt.of thb Potomac,
Joly 30,-9 P. M. After tbo explosion, at
an early hour tbia morning, everything be
tokened a brilliant victory, but soon after
matters assumed a different aspect, part of
tbe attacking force having given away, thus
exposing the balance to an enfilading fire
from both artillery and infantry. The pro
gramma was as follows: Tbe mine was to
be exploded at 3 A. M. and tbe batteries
open at once along the entire line. 'Imme
diately after the explosion the 9th Corps
was to charge, supported by the 18th and
Avers' division of tbe 5tb Cnrps.aod the 3d
Division of the 2d Cojps. The greater part
of the arrangement was carried out as order
ed, although the commencement was later
than the hour designated, on account of the
fuse giving out twice. Tbe explosion final
ly took place S4 precisely forty minutes past
4 the roar of artillery that immediately
fo'llowed waa almost deafening. At 5 30
tbe charge was made, and the fort, with a
part of tbe line on each side, was carried in
a most brilliant style. The 2d Division,
which was in the centre, advanced and car
ried the second line, a short distance beyond
the fort, and here rested, holding their
ground with the utmost determination.
It wss at this time tbe colored division
under command of Brig Gen. White waa
pushed forward and ordered to eharge and
carry the crest of the hill, which would
have decided the contest. The troops ad
vanced in good order a far as tbe first line
where they received a galling fire which
checked them, and although quite a num
ber kept on advancing tbe greater portion
seemed to become utterly demoralized, part
of them taking refuge in the fort, and tbe
balance running to the rear as fast as possi
ble. They were rallied, and again pushed for
ward but without success, the greater part of
their officers being killed or wounded.
During this time they seemed to be without
any one to manage them and finally they
fell back to tbe rear out of the range of the
enemy's canister and musketry which
were plowing through their ranks. Their
losses are very heavy particularly in officers,
as will be seen by the following figures: 23d
U. S., colored, 15 officers killed, and wound
ed, 400 men, including the missing; 28th
U. S , colored, ll officers and about 150 men
killed, wounded and missing; 27th U. S.,
colored, 6 officers and about 150 men killed,
wounded and missing; 29th TJ. S., colored,
8 officers and about 375 men killed, wound
ed and missing; 31st U. S., colored, 7 offi
cers and about 200 men killed, wounded
and misting; 43d U. S., colored, 6 officers
and a large number of men killed, wounded
and missing; 39th U. S , colored, several
officers and about 250 men, killed, wound
ed and missing.
The loss in the second division of the 9th
corps, Gen. Sedlie commanding, was very
severe, and is estimated from 1000 to 1200,
while many make the figures larger. Among
the missing I regret to announce the name
of Geo. Bartlett; he succeeded in reaching
the Fort with his command bat having ac
cidentally broken his cork leg, he was un
able to get off the field; be, however, held
possession of tbe ground for several hours,
and only surrendered when all hopo o. es
cape was gone.
Some two hundred meD, both black and
white, were with him at tbe time, a few of
whom managed lo get back to our lines.
Nearly all of General Bartlett'a staff were
captured at the same time. Colonel Mar
shall, commanding the 2d Brigade of this
Division, was also taken prisoner, with
several of his staff; also Col. Wild of tbe
56th Masachu9etts, reported a prisoner.
Colonel Gould, of the 59th Mass., lost a leg;
Malor Bruxton, of the 179th Mew York,
also lost a leg; Lieut. Colonel Barney, of
the 21 Pa, was wounded; Maj. Prascott,
57th Mass., was killed; Lieut. Col. Ross, of
tbe 3lat U. S. colored, lost a leg. lhis Di
vision bavins been a great deal in advance
of tbe rest of the line, held its position for
several hours, but was finally compelled to
fall back, suffering severely. While doing
so the Joss in the first and third Divisions
was also severe; the latter have 400 in the
hospital. Th6 loth corps occupied part ol
th Una on the riht. but their loss wa3 not
very great We toofe about 250 prisoners,
mostly South Carolinians, and five battle
flags." All quiet this moroieg. Sunday, 31 .
The Killing of Gibson Mallobt The
Pabtt Charged with the Killing Re
leased. Our readers are no doubt familiar
with the killing of the Hon. Gibson Mallo
ry, on the Bardstown pike, last Tuesday
Dight, the particulars of which were given
ia the Democrat tbe following day. Sub
sequently, J. House, of coapany D, Ninth
Pensylvaoia cavalry, was arrested, charged
with the killing of Mr. Mallory. At tbe
time of tbe arrest be did not deny the kil
ling, but averred that be was under positive
orders from Lieut. Gyrer, who bad com
mand of the men. House, after his arrest,
was sent to tbe barracks and placed under
confinement. A further investigation of tbe
case by tbe military authorities developed
the following facts, as we have been inform
ed by Col. Fairleigh , commander of the post:
House, who was under the command of the
officer of the guard above named, was sta
tioned on the Bardstown pike, about one
mile beyond the first toll-gate, with instruc
tions to'allow no one to pass. Mr. Mallory
and bis son drove up, and were ordered to
halt, which they refused to do. The order
to halt, was given four or five times before
the soldier discharged his musket, inflict
upon Mr. Mallory a wound which caused al
most Instant death. House was yesterday
released from confinement by order of Gen
eral Burbridge. Louisville Democrat.

REBEL. REPORT FROM ATLANTA.
The Richmond Enquirer of Monday con
tains the following:
Tbe glorious news from Northern Georgia
absorbed tha public attention on Saturday
and yesterdsy; the city was lively with de
lightful excitement, and even the grim sa
vans, who affect to see an almost intermi
nable war, grew buoyant with hope. The
fate of Sbermao, and the war, was liberally
discussed, and it wasgeuerally accepted that,
should the effect of Hood's initiatory en
gagements be sustained and culminate in a
decisive victory, no fears, not even doubts,
need be entertained as to the result of the
campaign io Virginia. Grant, having ex
pended tbe force of numbers at his com
mand in vain, stragetio force may then be
employed by him to about the same pur
pose. Tbe following la the official dis
patoh of Gen. llood: .
Atlanta, July 2210:40 P. M.
Han.' Secretary of War:
The army shifted its position fronting
Peachtfee creek last night, and Stewart's
& Cheatham's corps formed the line of bat
tle around the oity. Hardee's corps made a
night march and attacked the enemy's ex
treme left to-day at one o'clock, and drove
bim from his works, capturing sixteen
pieces of artillery and five stands of colors.
Cheatham attacked the enemy at 4 o'clock
P. M. with a portion of his commar.d and
drove the enemy, captured six pieces of ar
tillery. During the engagement we cap
tured about 2000 prisoners.
Wheeler's cavalry routed the enemy in
the neighborhood of Decatur, capturing bis
camps. Our loss is not fully ascertained.

THB FSESS DISPATCHES.
Atlanta, July 22. About two o'clock
this afternoon the enemy attacked our left,
under Gen. Stewart, with great vigor.
They were received with a galling fire
from both artillery and infantry, which
caused them to falter, when tbe order was
given to charge.
Among tbe killed ia Gen. McPberson,
who was shot through the heart; Brig-Giles
A. Smith and (the Yankee Gen. Hood.
Gen. uresham lost a leg.
Our troops left their breastworks and
charged with great rapidity, driving the en
emy from two lines of intrencbments and
inflicting great slaughter, capturing a large
number of prisoners and 22 pieces of artil
lery.
General Hardee having passed around tbe
enemy's flank, is now in their rear, doing
great execution.
6ECOND DISPATCH.
Atlanta, July 23d. Gen. Wheeler,
last evening, attacked the enemy's left in
the neighborhood of Decatur, and drove
them back, capturing 500 wagons, with sup
plies, and a large number of prisoners. He

EDITORIAL COMHESTd.
From the Richmond Examiner, July 25tb.
The news of the victory at Atlanta,
which the telegraph brought to Richmond
oo last Saturday delighted the publio as
much as any that has been received during
the war; it caused a general joy throughout
the city, and will carry the same to all
quarters of the country. Gen. Hood has
signalized his acceptance of the Army of
lennesseo, with a brilliant victory, and
justified bis selection by success, the high
est evidence of its propriety. The tide
has turned, tbe army has faced about, and
the strategy of advance takes tbe place over
that of retreat.
Light breaks from the only dark point in
our lines. Atlanta is now felt to bj safe
and Georgia wi.l soon be free from the foe.
Tbe central army of tbe ConfeJancy has
recovered its prestige aud defeated tbe ex
ultant enemy.
From the Examiner of July 26.
The most important news we have is that
contained in the following dispatch from
uenerel Hood.
Atlanta, July 23. 1864.
Hon. J. A. Seddon. Secretary of War:
la the engagement yesterday we captur
ed 18 stands of colors instead of 6, ard 13
guns instead of 22, as previously reported.
Brig. Geo. Mercer was not wounded .
All is quiet to-day, except a little picket
firing and occasional shell thrown into the
city. J. B. Hood, General.
From this it will be seen that the battle
began under such favorable auspices on
Friday and contined so successfully, was
not resumed on Saturday nor on Sunday.
General Hood, in bis first dispatch after the
fight, was mistaken as to the number of
cannon captured by our troops. This is a
small matter. If he bad killed McPber
son, and driven Sherman across the Chatta
hoochee, we should have been content
wittDut taking a gun or a prisoner. As far
as we are able to penetrate into the state of
affairs, the chief fruits of Friday'a opera
tions are, we infer, that we prevented the
enemy from enveloping Atlanta from the
east. His position west and north of the
town is unchanged, or, if ohanged at all, he
has pressed nearer tbe oity, It baa been
seen from tbe dispatch ha throws shell into
it. This is uncomfortable proximity, as fie
people of our sister oity of' Petersburg can
testity.
Thb Moceino) Bird of Resaoa. Tbe
Atlanta Appeal relatea tbe following inci
dent: In the hottest of the battle of Sunday a
shell came screaming through the air from
the works io front of our left. It paused above
a point where Gen. Johnston and Gen. Polk
were standing; whistled like a top above
them, and before exploding whistled half a
dozen notes as clear as a fife to the dram
like rattle of mnsketry . Tbe din bad scarce
died away, and tbe fragments fallen to the
ground, when the attention of the party
was directed to one of the upper boughs of
a tall tree, where a mocking-bird bad be
begun to intimate tbe whistle of the shell
Neither the roar of cannon nor the rain o
balls could drive this brave bird from it
lofty perch It sat above tbe battle fields
like a little god of war, iif blythe tones war
bling over the din of arms.

To the teachers of tbe Common Schools of
Louisville I can only give my owa experi
ence. I am nftv vears of aee. and have
spent forty-five years of that time in the
schoolroom; was educated at me univernjr
of Virginia, and at the best preparatory
schools in that vicinity. I have been
teaching in Maysville since 1832. and In
connection with the Maysville Seminaries
Principal, since June, 1835. uur scaooi
has always had two departments, male and
female, in separate rooms, but so located
that each is under the immediate supervision
of the Principal The ages of the pupils
range from twelve to twenty-five. Males
and females recite in the same classes, but
have their appropriate seats separate from
each other: in thia war a wholesome spirit
of emulation is awakened, which is never
felt a purely male or female school, liut
the most ImDortant feature is the moral in
fluence which is exerts over the sexes As
sociated together as they are from day to
day in the same scholastic exercises, tbsy
are brought to look upon eacn oioer as mem
bers of the same family.engaged in the same
reat work of mental and moral improve
ment. In a period of Umty years, wua a
school varying from eighty to one hundred
pupils, about an equal numoer oi eacn boa,
I have not vet observed any ill conse
quences resulting from their association, but
have, from year to year, become more iuwy
convinced that no plan is so well calculated
to secure correct habits of study, proper
discipline, refioed manners.and good morals.

What the Negro Troops are for.
Kentucky, June 29, 1864.
To the Editor of the Boston Courier:
My dear Sir Thinking mat a oriel note
occasionally from a resident of thia region
to the organ of conservative opinion in the
North may be of some use, I venture again
to trouble you.
Tbe black eloud that has been gathered
in tbe South, and has caused such desolation
there, is gradually, coming nearer to its dea
tined position, and will presently envelop
in darkness the whole land, unless the peo
ple of tbe North awake io time from their
foolish dream of conquest, spoliation, and
and sectional agrandisement. The negro
army of the West, whose headquarters were
first, I believe, at Memphis, then at Padu
cah, have now been just removed to Louis
ville. By plunder, insult and outrage, P
dueah, the most flourishing town in West
ern Kentucky, has been rendered uninhabit
able be people, and indeed a large portion
of the place has been wantonly destroyed.
Now we suppose the same deluge is to b
poured npon Louisville, Lexiogton, and all
the remainder of tbe State. You bear much
more frequently now than ever before of
gnerrilla outrages in this State. Most of
these men are persons, heretofore loyal, who,
robbed and plundered of all their means of
subsistence, their lives threatened, and their
families insulted by these black barbarians,
under the command of more infamous white
men, take to this course under mingled feel
ings of revenge and despair.
Have the Northern people yet surmised
the purpose of tbe Negro army? Have they
utterly forgotten tbat the interests and the
liberties of tbe whole people of this country
are bound up together? The negro armj
was not intended to fight tbe Confederates.
That class of troops has been kept hereto
fore just near enough to actual war to ac
custom them to bloodshed and cruelty,
while, as far as practicable, ibey are covered
bv the white troops from actual danger, it
is apparent now that mingled patriotism and
Inst of power have thoroughly demonized
the abolition party. Tbsir plan obviously
is, to precipitate upon the South, by succes
sive conscriptions, all the fighting material
of the white population who are not aboli
tionists, and sacrifice them there; while tbe
negro army, as a Janizary corps, is to be
employed in tbe Northern and Middle
States to coerce passive obedience.
I believe tbat these infamous men enter
tain very little thought of subjugating the
South; but they are insanely joyous at the
prospect of subjugating all tbat portion of
the Union which is not now in rebellion.
By continuirg the contest, upon the policy
lately adopted, they expect so to impair the
strength of the loyal states, outside of the
Aboli ioi party, which takes precious care
of itself, that tbe people will be meekly
submissive to a rule enforced by their array
of black savages.
Tbe Conservatives committed a fatal mis-
take,twben, after tbe civic victory of 1362,
tbey neglected to appeal with all the au
thority of the State governments and with
tbe prestige of tbat great victory, to the
army, to stand firm in the defence of the
Constitution against every assault.
li it impossible to awaken tbe northern
neorjle to a sense of tbe real situation of af
faire? The toils are around us here. They
will soon be stretched over tne entire coun
try. unless the people in those States not yet
in actual military occupation arouse to the
work before them, and vindicate once more
tbe liberty of American citizens.

Louisville, Ky., June 8d, 1868.
We, the undersigned, have seen the good ef
fects produced by the use of Dr. John Bull's
Cedron Bitters in case of general debility and
prostration of the system, and believn its general
use would prevent disease and relieve much suf
fering. Among our soldiers particularly would
this be the case, especially those who are ezposed
to miasmatic influences in the Southern climate.
