Morgan preaching from the first seven verses of the Sth chapter of Isaiah an able sermon, occupying an hour and twenty minutes in its delivery. At3 o'clock, Rey. John Thrush preached from. the words, “Quench not the spirit,” @ sermon with more power than any heretofore delivered on the ground, and closed with an appeal which brought some five or six penitents to the altar, two of whom professed conversion. At 7% o'clock, Rev. J. S. Porter preached from ist Samuel, 4th chupter and 7th verse—“(od is come in the camp.” Some twelve or fifteen presented themselves at the altar, and before ‘we retired some five or six professed conver- sion.

Mysterious Silence ef the Enemy. {Correspondence of the Chronicle. Berork PETERSBURG, August 25—6 a. M.—A {atthe dattes stillmess pervades our lines. esterday there was scarcely a musket dis- charged, amd the cannon in the center, gene- rally noisy during the early hours of morning, have scarcely fired a shot. All this is very mysterious. it few rebels can be seen in front-ot the Weldon road. Our men scout far out from the lines, and as yet have failed to develop any considerable fire from an enemy. The roads are rapidly improving, although extensive corduroys are being placed where teams cannot pass in wet weather. Fresh men continue to come to the front. They were never more needed. Upon their arrival here they are distributed among the different regiments. Congressional Nominati in Miusseuri. St. JoszpH, Mo., Aug. 25.—Ben.

The resolutions adopted oe them Revs. Phos. Myers and Samuel endorse the nominees ofthe Baltimore Conyen- | Creighton The congregations are now large, and we ere fairly under way. Baltimore is well repre- sented, both in preachers and people. AUGUST 25.—Yesterday was indeed & beanti- ful day,and every one seemed to enjoy it. The religious exercises commenced with a very interesting experience meeting, which would have been much better had not one of the preachers occupied one-half of the time in giving a minute account of his life; but ix this heis not alone, forthe complaint generally among the members is that the habt ef preach- ers in monopolizing the time at experience and prayer meetings is on the increase. At 11 o’clock Rev. Mr. Swope preached from the words, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and ali these things shall be led unto you.” The sermon ‘Was 8 good one, urging the necessity of seek- ing early God’s kingdom in preference te all fading and transitory objects, which soon wither and die. At the close several penitents presented themselves at the altar for prayer. At3o’clock Rev. Mr. Palston, of the Phila- deiphia confgrence, preached a fine sermon from Luke, 10th ehapter and 42d verse, and Rev. E. P. Phelps, Presiding Elder, followed with an exhortation; after which the exer- cises at the altar were resumed. At night Mr. Largent preached from the words “ We then as makers together with him beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain.” About 40 penitents present- ed themselves at the altarat which singing and prayer was kept up until near 11 o'clock, and seme ten or twelve professed to have obtained “the Pearl of Great Price.” After the meeting a report was prevalent that a man had been killed, and upon inguiring I ascertained that a young man from Washing- ton, said to bea Government detective, had been strack with a club and knocked senseless, in which condition he remained several hours. He was taken to a tent where a number of ladies by the use of proper restoratives restored him to consciousness. It was stated that he was boasting that he had the names of the principal secessionists of the neighborhood, which he would report to Washington, and that he was knocked down bysome of them for the purpose of getting the list. AUGUST 26.—This is the best day of the meet- ing and it is bright and fair. A larger number of persons have been on the ground since Sun- day than we had expected, and this morning large crowds came pouringin trom the sur- rounding cities, a large delegation coming from Baltimore in the afternoon, who took an active part in the meeting, among them Reys. McK. Riley and Tillotson Morgan. The usual prayer meeting was held at S o'clock, and at ji o’clock Rev. N. J. B. Morgan. reached from the text, «Jesus saith unto him am the way and the truth and the lite, no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” At 3 o’clock Rev. Geo. Leech preached from Ro- mans, 2d chapter, 4th verse, followed by an appeal by Rey. Mr. Hobbs, and quite a num- ber presented themselves at the altar. At 8 o'clock, the closin, ht’s services took lace, Rey. Littleton preached trom ist Peter, sth chapter and 6th verse. The ser- mon was one of power,and onthe minister giving an invitation, the altar became crowded to overflowing with penitents. The exercises were kept up with spirit until after 6 o’clock in the morning, and during the night it was thought from 40 to 50 conversions took place, There was @ short intermission in these ex- ercises, however, at midnight, when the entire assemblage carried out the old time usage of marching round the circle three times, singing, the Presiding Elder leading. After the whites had marched around, the colored folks fol- lowed their example, singing one of their pecu- liar spiritual eongs, but this time they were very orderly. Abont § o’clock the tents were struck, and the assemblage soon left the ground; the Washing- tonians, whose number now was over sixty, reaching home about 12 o’clock. There was some little excitement before the crowd left, owing to a number ef detectives makmmg 8 raid among the blacks, and arresting about a dozen as deserters from the draft. With the exception of the disorder noticed above, everything passed off orderly, and this meeting may be said to have been successfal in every particular, the best of feeling prevailing throughout. The tetal number of conversions, it is thought, is about seventy-five, and the membership were much strengthened. The collections were very liberal, and Rey. T. Myers, the Bible agent, received some liberal contributions on the ground. The grove seems to grow in favor every year, and was improved considerably since last year. Being situated so conveniently to the railroad, and being just avout the proper distance from the cities, there is no reason why it should not become a perma- nent camping ground. It was announced that & meeting would be held here next year. W. tion and the Radical State ticket. Public Execution. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.—W. H.

The fighting on the Upper Potomac on the 23d inst was most brilliantly and successfally conducted. Atan early hour in the morning, the cavalry, under General Custar, advanced to feel the enemy’s lines in the vicinity of Duf- fy’s Station, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road. They pushed the skirmishers of the rebelssteadily before them, and were them- selves boldly followed up by the 6th corps until the skirmish line of the enemy fell back on their main support sometime in the after- noon, and the cavalry in turn were compelled to fall back on theirs. Our line of battle was boldly advanced and a most terrific musketry fire ensued. The ground was rolling and partially wood- ed. The first sharp experience our men got of the rebel fire was as they were lying behind a stone wall anda fence which were parallel to our line of battle. The rebels opened on us with deafening volleys, which were promptly responded to, and they were driven from their osition. Three acres of the field near by were aterally covered with the wounded and dead. They sullenly withdrew before the determined attack of the «fighting Sixth.” We secured our dead and wounded, and, finally, toward nightfall, fell back to our original position. Gen. Sheridan and staff were on the field, and Capt. E H. Bailey lost a shoulder-strap by a rebel shot. Noone else of the staff was injured. Themen are in the best possible spir- its, and have great faith in their dashing com- mander. The losses on both sides were severe, espe- cially on the part of the rebels. We took a number of prisoners, especially from Ander- son’s and Breckinridge’s divisions. They re- port the enemy as 40,000 strong.

Correspondence Baltimore American.] ARPER’S FERRY, August 26,12 m.—A re- connoissance was made early yesterday morn- ing by a large force of cavalry, under the command of Gen. Torbet. A portion of our cavalry under Gen. Wilson, who were sta- tioned at Halltown, moved out to Kearneys- ville, and there met, by arran; ent, General Merritt’s division, which had been stationed near Shepherdstown. The two forces com- bined, under command of Gen. Torbet,moved out in the direction of Leetown. The column had not proceeded more than a mile when they met the sens skirmish line, which was composed of infantry belonging to Early’s corps. Gen. Torbet dismounted a brigade of his command and sent them in to skirmish with the enemy’s advance line, whilst another portion of his command was sent around by a circuitous route to strike them on the flankand rear. The effect of this move was to completely double up their skirmish line and cause them to flee in wild confusion, while a portion ot our men, mounted and held in reserve charged uponthem with the sabre, killing, wounding and capturing quite a number. The charge ‘was only desisted from when our men came upon the enemy’s reserve, all infantry, drawn up in line and presenting a front nearly two miles in length. On examining the prisoners captured in the skirmish and charge, it was ascertained that the whole of Early’s old corps, now com- manded by Breckinridge, had broken camp, in the vicinity of Charlestown, at daylight that morning, and marched in the direction of Lee- town. This was the force which now con- fronted General Torbert, and having ascer- tained these facts, he commenced withdrawing his command. In the meantime the enemy had throwna force around on the Shepherdstown road, which prevented General Ouster from retiring in the direction originally intended. The column under Gen. Wilson had reached its destination im safety at 4 o'clock p.m , and ‘was abont going into camp when a courier ar- rived with the information that Ouster was cut off, and orderirg him out to make a demonstra- tion on the enemy, and picket the road from Halltown to Dufiield Station. Heavy cannonading was heard in the direc- tion of Shepardstown, which continued until dark, and some fear was entertained that Cus- ter might find the enemy too mach for him, but those who knew him better, and were ac- quainted with his dashing qualities and fer- tility of resources as a cavaly leader, made up their minds he would cut his way ont some ‘way, and time has proved they were correct, for early this morning his courier arrived with despatches informing Gen. Sheridan of his arrival ata pore ot safety, and from whence he can watch the further movements of the enemy. A charge was made at fouro’clock yesterday afternoon by Col. Lowell, with asmall detach- ment of cayalry, on the enemy’s skirmish line to the left of Hailtown, which resulted in the capture of some prisoners, from whom we re- ceived some important information which leaves no doubt but that the enemy are in force and on the qui vive, prepared to take advantage of any weakness in our lines. « In the charge we lost Capt. Idenhoch, of the 2d Massachusetts, killed, and some three or four men wounded. 2 Gen. Duffie reports there is no force of the enemy anywhere in Loudon. The fords from Williamsport to Point of Rocks are well guarded, and the enemy would find it a difficult operation if they should at- tempt to cross into Maryland, RLS. THE LATEST.

The bulls, on the other hand, find a strong indisposition to operate until the result of the Chicago Convention shows what current the politics of the election are likely to take; and this source of inactivity is backed by the continued absence of principal operators from the city.
