Seeanate Battle Imminent at any Mo- ents agp sa [Correspondence Associated Press. | ARMY OF THE PoTomAc, Aug. 21.—Our losses | in the fight at the Weldon railroad on Friday afternoon were greater than heretofore re- ported in this correspondence, the number we lost in prisoners being now put down at fifteen | hundred. It seems our troops were surprised, many of them being in their shelter tents at the time trying to escape the heavy rain which had been Yalling for several hours previously. The en- emy first sppeared about noon on the right of | road in tront of the 3d division, 5th corps, but this was evidently a feint, er for the purpose of feeling our lines About3 p.m. they charged in heavy force between the 5th and 9th corps, and succeeded du turning the flank of the former, capturmg a large number of prisoners. This part of the dine was forced back some distance, when the 9th corps, which hed been relieved the night previous & part of the 2d, came on the field and opened fire, checking the enemy’s advance and taking a few prisoners. A heavy column at the same time charged on the left of our line west of the railroad, held by the 2d division (Gen. Ayres), which they broke, nd here also they took five or six hundred risoners of the regular brigade. This brigade commanded by Colonel (or General) ys, who is believed to be a prisoner, as he cannot be found. Our whole line was thus forced back with heavy loss in killed and wounded. The ene: suffered worse than we did, however, in this particular, his men lying thick all over the field. Before dark our men were reformed, and being reinforced, a desperate charge was made to recover the lost ground, which was successfully accomplished, so that we held the line which had been taken from us in the afternoon. Col. Earle is reported a prisoner, as is also Col. Hartshorne. Gen. Crawford was shot through the yest and shirt and narrowly escaped capture. Lt. Clark, of his staff was shot in the arm, while Capt Monticth, Lieuts. Meade and Merrsfield an og Smith, also of Gen. Crawford’s staff, had their horses shot while carrying or- ders and rallying the men ef the various com- mands. The last named was a prisoner fora ‘while, but seeing a favorable chance made his escape. Captain Doolittle, of Col. Wheelock’s staff, ‘Was ordered to surrender, when getting angry tan epithet applied to him, seizeda musket and bayoneted the rebel to a tree. _ Colonel Wheelock’s brigade of the 3d divis- ion, was flanked, when they faced to the rear, and charged, and drove the rebels and took a number of prisoners. The entire number cap- tured wasabont twohundred and thirty, with some stands of colors. _ Our loss is estimated at over three thousand, including prisoners. Nothing but skirmishing took place along the line yesterday, both parties being busy en- trenching themselves. A battleis looked for at any hour, as the enemy seem determined to regain possession of Brome road, while we are as determined to hold The prisoners we took belong principally to Beauregard’s and Hill’s corps, and are a fine- Soni lotof men, although clad in the usual style. Considerable artillery firing has been going On on our left since four o’clock this morning, and ir at times quite brisk. No musketry can be heard, the distance from headquarters jing too great.

Fessenden intends to return to Washing- ton this evening. The terms of the new loan are not decided. It is reported that the bonds will be five-twenties, which are ex- tremely scarce. No bonds are at present more actively in request both in foreign markets and by our own citizens. The demand for the new seyen-thirties is | mot expected to be diminished by the issue of | the gold-bearing bonds, as the latter will be abserbed by a different class of investors from those who subtcribe for the former. Morever, the debt certificates, whose low price has checkea the demand for the seven- thirties, will now probably rise in value, as it is proposed to accept 20 per cent. of the pay- ments of the new bonds in the securities. The arrangements for pa: mt of this and future loans will be such as to disturb as lit- tle as possible the movements of the money | market. Gold is drooping, in consequence of the pay: ments of interest from the sub-treasury. The opening price was 257 4, and at the close 2563 | was bid.

THE AREEST OF THE EDITOR oF THE Mg- TROPOLITAN RECORD In New YoRE.—In the United States Commissioner's office at New York, on Friday morning, before Commissioner | Osborn, Mr. E. Delafield Smith, United States District Attorney, lodged a complaint against John Mullally, as editor and proprietor of the Metropolitan Record and New York Vindica- tor, foropposing the coming draft in several articles which appeared in the issues of that journal on the 30th day ot July andthe 6thday ot August last. The affidavit upon which the warrant for Mr. Mullally’s arrest was issued, charges thatin violation ot section 25 of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1563, enti- tled““An Act for enrolling and calling out the national forces and for other purposes,” and section 12 of the act approved February 29, 1564, entitled “An Act for enrolling and calling out the national forees approved March 3, 1563,” said Mullally advised resistance to the draft, and ‘wilfully counsels one Seymour and other persons to resist a draft directed by the President of the United States in pursuance of the statutes above cited, and counsels draft- ed men not to appear, and wilfully dissuades them from the performance of military duty as required by law, and incites, counsels and en- courages one Seymour and other persons for- cibly to resist and oppose an enroliment or- dered by competent authority in pursuance of said acts of Congress, and otherwise violates the provisions of law above mentioned.” Mullally was arrested and held in $2,500 bail to answer the charges. FALL IN THE PRICEOF CoaL.—We are glad + to see the price of coal falling. Instead of $13 to $13.50 per ton, it is now selling for $11 to $12 wholesale. The public should not be guided by these mock auction sales of coal. In fact, the newspapers should not report such sales, as they help to mislead instead of guide the public in the purchase of their winter fuel. —WNew York Herald. THE WADE AND Davis MANIFESTO.—The Cincinnati Gazette says that the Union people in the Congressional District where Mr. Wade resides are highly dissatisfied with his course, and some of them go so far as to instruct their delegates to the Convention to pass a resolu- tion of censure against him.

FROM SHERMAN’S ARMY. The Situation at Atlanta—Another Partial Advance — Sheliing she City—Valuables Removed—Hardee W ounded—Deserters— Rain. a [Cerrespondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.) ‘On THE BANKS OF UToy COREE, FULTON Co., Ga., August 12.—Still I am enabled to date my letters from the banks of Utoy Creek. ‘There was no movement of any importance yesterday, and the relative positions of both ‘armies remain as before. To this, however, I may mention one excep- tion. There was an adyance.along the front of 8 portion of the 20th and 16th corps; also in the front of Colonel Scribner’s brigade (at present commanded 4 Colonel More, 69th Ohio) of the 14th corps. The rebels were driven from a line of rifie-pits, and a number of them captured. This advance took place on that portion of our line north of the town, and on both sides of the Atlanta and Western Railroad. The roar of artillery yesterday was terrible and incessant along the whole line. Sude- meister’s 11th Indiana battery (20-pound Par- rotts) poured 4 vigorous fire into thecity. The noise of the shells crashing through the build- ings could be distinctly heard. Atlanta has become too hot for Gen. Hood, and his headquarters have been removed toa int about three miles southwest of the city, Pomediately in front of that portion of our line occupied by the 4th corps. =: 1 deserters report that Hardee was se- riously wounded on the 10th inst. Not more than one-sixth of the ordinary pop- ulation of Atlanta remains in the city, and these have dug immense caves and holes in the earth to protect them from the missiles which we now continually throw into the town. thing of value to the rebel army (ex- Er their heavy artillery) bas been Tencved m Atlanta to Griffin and betiire Even the machinery from the ti and foune dries, has been ep PTT TG ee se eamek Pot eae and ase places distributed to soldiers.

Sorpuirs on a TRAIN An&® THE VETERAN RESERVE GUARD ON THE RCAD, AND ARB FIRED UPON BY THE LATTER—ONE {MAN WounDeD AND ANOTH@R KiLLED!!—THE Soipiers DisMOUNT FROM THE TRAIN, AND Bayonet SERGEANT PORTER, THE MAN WHO FIRED UPON THE TRAIN! This morning, a train left the depot in this city with about 600 soldiers, of different regi. ments, on their way to join Sheridan's com- mand at Harper's Ferry. While at Beltsville, where & detachment of the Veteran Reserve Corps is duty, the train switched off, and the soldiers on it amused themselves by throwing apples at the Veteran Reserve guard, and calling them epithets indicating them as being “home guards,” afraid to fight, &c. This irritated the guard, and a sergeant in charge, whoze name we understand to be Porter, picked up a musket and fired pen the train, woun: one soldier slightly and killing Joseph Laughlin, company E, 1ith Vermont. (Anotller inform- ant, who was alsoon the train, says the so! dier’s name who was killed was John M peg and that he belonged to the 18th Ver- mont. As soon as the act of shooting was rpe- trated the soldiers got off the train and beat Sergt. Porter in a terrible manner; at the same time ascertaining that the man killed had not thrown any apples or used any epithets. Sergt. Porter, we understand, was subsequently taken to a tree near by, allowed three minutcs to say his prayers, and then bayonetted until life was extinct. The guard of which Porter had charge were unable to render him any assistance, as the force was but small. The parties, too, who inflicted this summary punishment upon Por- ter weré requested to take him to timore and have him regularly tried; but this was re- fused, the soldiers preferring to take the law in their own hands. Porter, itis said, belonged to Company D, 18th Veteran Reserve Corps. His time had almost expired, and he was to have been dis- charged to-day. Navy YAarp AFFrAIRs.—The steamer Don, flagship of Commander Parker, left the yard on Saturday afternoon for the lower river on atrial trip, and will, it is expected, return to- morrow. The Jacob Bell arrived from the lower river on Friday afternoon for repairs. Commodore Mentgomery, the popular com- mandant of the yard, is on a short leave of ab- sence, and has gone North for a few weeks. In the meantime his duties are being performed by the efficient executive officer, Commander Overton Carr. On Friday evening a colored sailor named Daniel Furlong, belonging on the Western World, fell overboard from a boat and was drowned, notwithstanding efforts were imme- diately made to rescue him. His body was found yesterday morning, near the Engineer camp, and was sent to his residence, in the First Ward. , The commission to fixon a scale of wages for the employees of the yard, on the basis of wi paid to mechanics of the sdme grades outside, consisting of Messrs. Morris, Talbert and Downing, recommended the following scale, whicn gives general satisfaction, and which received the Commodore’s approval. It has also been approved by the Department, and the rates of this scale will govern the workmen during the months of August and September. In some instances the commis- sion were unable to find any persons doing the same kind of work as is done in the yard, and they were obliged to use theirown judgment *Blockmakers, £3 and 82 50; carpe lockmakers, 23 and #2 50; ters, $3 50, $3 25, @3 and $375; joiners (ship), $3 50 and $3 25; joiners (house), $3, $2 75, $2 50; sawyers, 23, @275, $250; wheelwrights, #275, #250; boiler makers, $3 25, $3, $275, 82 50; plumbers and tinners, $3, $275, $250, $225; copper- smiths, &c., $3, $275, $250; copper refiners, $275, $225; camboose and tank makers, $3, $275, $250, 82 25; Copper rollers, $3, $275, $2 50; engineers and machinists, $3, $2 75,2 50, #2 25; iron feunders, #3, $275, #2 50, $225; an- chor and black smiths, $3 33, $3, €275, $250; laborers, &c., $2, $1 7: asons, $4, $3 50, $3; painters, $3, $2 75, ; Tiggers, $275, $250; sailmaker: gborses and carts, $3; ‘watchmen, ee A DisasTROvs ATTEMPT TO RUN FROM A GuaRp.—This afternoon, about 3 o'clock, as a ea was taking a prisoner to the Central uardhouse, by way of 11th street, the latter ran off at the corner of 11th street and Ohio ay- enue, and made tracks toward Harvyey’s steamed oyster saloon. ‘The guard ordered him to halt, and upon his refusal to do so, the guard shot him; the ball entering the right side’just above the hip bone, and passing out at the right side. The runa- ‘way was then recaptured and taken toward the ‘guardhonse, and notwithstanding his ‘wound, was able to walk. The affair collected a large crowd, and all who witnessed the affair exonerate the guard. The prisoner’s name was John Simpson. @ huckster, and was arrested for attempting to use an old pass. _— ASSAULT AND BatTEery.—On Saturday night,as Mr. M. N. Bassett was passing the corner of 2d and East Capitol streets, two sct- diers arresied him and told him to go with them, when he attempted to run away from them, but was overtaken and knocked down. Officer Walling, of the Sixth Ward, hearing the row, proceeded to the spot, and arrested one of them—Andrew McKenna, of the 19th regiment V.R. C.,—and he was taken before Justice Cull, who committed him to jail. as ON THETS WAY HomE.—The 139th regiment Ohio National Guards, (hundred days’ men,) Lieut. Col.

All that was received since the ist of August by the canal was wood from farms within 20 miles of town. Ice from Mid- dleton’s ice-houses, 12 miles distant, and a few huhdred bushels of grain from points en the canal, the most distant of which is Berlin, 55 miles.. The total number of arriyals was 20, an average of one daily up to last Saturday. The prospect of a reopening of tbe coal trade this season is regarded by the agents of the companies as very unpromising. Z Forrest Hall.—Since the installation of Major Littler as Assistant Provost Marshal various improvements have been effected in this prison of great importance as sanitary measures, as well as for thesafe keeping and guarding of the prisoners there confined. The interior walls and floors, upon which dirt and filth had been accumulating for months past, by the judicious application of whitewash and scrub! brushes have been whitened dnd cleansed; an: other cleansing operations are in progress. Jt of prisoners there confined being considerably over 300, and their safety and health, as weil as the health cf the strong guard required for the post, justifies the laber used in this thor- ough renovation of the entire building.
