Firing in Front of Petersburg Yesterday, The mail steamer Charlotte Vanderbilt, Capt- Colmary, arrived here this morning at half. | §,*'eet south and New Jerse past six from City Point. She reports that early yesterday morning there was some firing along our lines fronting Petersburg, but not sufficient to indicate that An engagement was in progress. a Bene vee brought up twenty-five rebel eserters who desire to Felenned take the oath and be hese deserters are mostly unassigned con- scripts from the workshops ‘A Bichmond, and they say that the recent order of the Uonfede- rate autRorities purging the government shops of mechanics, heretofore exempted, has caused 8 grand skedaddle among the workmen. A | large government manufacturing establishment at Richmond, known as the Anderson Sho) has lost one hundred and eighteen men within the past few days, who have run away with the determination of somite North whenever an opportunity presents itself. The conscripts assert that Early’s defeat has caused the greatest gloom in Richmond, and that itis feared that Sheridan will make a | movement on Lynchburg. from which point | he can strike the Danville railroad,thereby cut- ting off their principal supply communication. These fears have caused a belief that it will be necessary to evacuate Richmond, and it is reely talked of upon thestreets. The Virginia troops, however, pro test against the evacuation of Richmond, and should the rebel authorities do so, it would cause mutiny among the Virginians. These conscripts de- clare that it is not to be denied that Con- federates are making preparations which look very mug m evacuation. Several gov- ernment wi hops have been closed, the ma- chinery of Which has been removed further South. When these parties left Richmona, a tew days ago, the machinery of other shops ‘were being packed for removal if deemed ne- cessary. The enlisted deserters speak in the highest terms of the treatment they have received since reaching our lines, and say that if this tact was known to the rebel troops desertions ‘would be more numerous. The Confederate authorities, these deserters say, are filling up the depleted regiments with old men and boys, including these who have heretofore been discharged from the military service on account of wounds and other per- manent disabilities. The conscripts are sub- jected to much ridicule by the regular soldiers, and the desertions among them are quite nu- At Point Look: At Poin out a number of rebel officers ‘Were taken on board, who are to be transferred to Northern prisoners.

Stephe: tiating with Sherman — Commi Sent to the Rebel Lines. LovIsvILLE, Sept, 26.—Sunday’s Journal says: “It is stated, on what is deemed as trust- worthy authority, that Governor Brown, of Georgia, has tendered peace propositions to General Sherman. The General has appointed commissioners to go into the rebel lines and confer with the State autherities of Georgia. «Governor Brown, it is rumored and ke- lieved, 1s sustained in his policy by Alexander H. Stephens, who is operating in the back groun The commissioners are said to be already in conference with the Governor, and the ‘pace Propositions will soon be forwarded to Washington for the President’s approval. “This is an important movement, as Georgia, occupying the position she does, may be con- sidered the keystone State ot the Southern Confederacy. e are assured that the story is true, and sincerely hope that the movement may meet with success. No civilians of any kind will be granted passes to Atlanta, not even members of the Sanitary Commission.” FINANCIAL.—The New York Commercia Advertiser of yesterday evening says: The stock market opened with a decidedly stronger feeling than yesterday. Theheavyde- cline has brought ona few cuenaly Choate and & strong disposition is shown by strong outside capitalists to buy freely of the most prominent railroad stocks, but morning the market was cipally in the hands of the brokers, and included as usual, a large amount of short transactions, the bulls,” even after the very heavy fall of Saturday and yesterday, being too cantious to make any large operations fora rise. The feeling is decidedly more buoyant, and the general ped ‘abige ngen is that prices must rebound within a few days. J There was a decidedly stronger tone in Gov- ernment securities. The money market is less affected by the anic of the last few days than might have i expected. There is no extreme pressure tor money, nor any important variations from the rate of 7 per cent. on call loans. Gold opened steadier this morning, and the price has been sustained by the heavy pur- chases to cover shorts. There is a great scir- city of cash gold, upon which Xx per cent. is rapidly paid. The deliveries are very irrega- i ar. The Evening Post says: The partial cessation of the panic to which ‘we referred yesterday continues. Notwith- standing the peace rumors from Louisville, the speculative feeling is stronger, and for the present quotations show a tendencyto advance. Gold opened at 193, and after rising to 195 and declining to 192%, closed at 194. ‘exchange is active at 1098109 ¥ for gold. THe FIGHT IN THE VALLBY.—The Richmond Examiner says: From a onsanne who left General Early’s army on Monday night we have some few ad- ditiopal particulars of the late fight. The attack was made by the enemy on Mon- day morning, just after daybreak. Our camp was taken completely by surprise. The enemy came upon oar men in overpowering force, and his attack was so sudden and unexpected that our forces were thrown, for the while, into considerable confusion. The fight raged all day. Atnight Gen. Early fell back to Fisher's Hill, bringing with him all his wagons and supplies. Theenemy had been strongly rein- Yorced just before the fight. Accounts stato that reinforcements to the number of some hfteen er twenty thousand men had been re- ceived. Everything mdicated that the enemy was in great strength. Gen. Rhodes was killed about ten o’clock in the morning, while in the act of rallying some portion of his division. He was struck on the head by a fragment of shell, and was killed jnetantly—never speaking after receiving the blow. RosEcRanz anv MCOLELLAN.—A corres- pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes from St. Louis : A foolish story has been in circulation since the Ohicago Convention that Gen. Rosecranz intends to support McOUlellan. Of course no one believes that he would do so because of a preference for the peace platform of Onicago, or for the peace warrior who failed to support him at Rich Mountain, and then stole the lau- Tels of his victory; and if any person believes that he would desert his principles because of the injustice with which he has been person- ally treated, that person must have forgotten the persistent silence under slander, the steady adherence toduty under ofhcial persecution, that Daye really been one of the finest specta- cee £5 self-denying patriotism the war has ex- ibited.

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. Sa FROM THE FRONT. (Correspondence Associated Press. j BADQUARTERS AEMY PoTomac, Sept. 26.— Quiet still prevails in front of Petersburg, broken only by the usual picket firing with oc- casional artillery duels, the effect of which is maer a large consumption of powder by both ies. A good deal of heavy firing was heard yes- terday and to-day, in the direction of James River, supposed to be from the gunboats. A large body of rebel cavalry were reported this afternoon to be moving to our left, but if so, their object has not yet mn. developed. Three scouts were arrested within our lines yesterday, and evidence has been obtained, which is said to be strong enough to convict them. Two citizens were alsoarrested, charged with giving aid and comfort to the enemy. An order has been issued in relation to the loss of colors in battle, namely: HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Sept. 23, 1864.—The following order of the Com- mander of the Second Division, Second Army Corps, having been transmitted to these head- quarters for the consideration of the Com- manding General, the same is approved and confirmed, and itis announced that hereafter no regiment or battery that loses its colors in ac- tion will be allowed to c: others without the authority of the Commanding General, and such permission will not be given in cases where it shall appear that a regiment or bat- tery has lost its colors through misconduct in battle, until such troops shall, by theirbravery on other fields, have fully retrieved their tar- nished honor. By command of Maj. Gen. Meade. S. WILLIAMS, Ass’t Adj’t General. HEADQUARTERS 2D Division, 2D ARMY Corps, Aug. 30, 1864.—The following named regiments having lost their regimental colors in action, arehereby deprived of the right to carry colors until by their conduct in battle they show themselves competent to protect them: Sth New York heavy artillery, 261th New York vols., and 36th Wisconsin vols. The officers and men of the command should remember that their colors should be the last thing surrendered, and that in all well regu- lated military organizations it is considered disgrace for a majority of the command to re- turn from the field of battle without them. By command of Major Gen’l Gibbon, com- manding division. A. Henry EMBLER, Capt. and A. A.G. An order has been issued, that officers who have served three years as Officers may be mustered out, the time during which they may have been In the army as Jue not count- ing. . D. McGrecor. FROM NASHVILLE, Skirmishing with Ferrest—A Battle im- minent. NASHVILLE, Sept. 27.—There was skirmish- ing with the rebel force under Forrest ali day yesterday. Rosseau fell back two miles from Pulaski, but readvanced, and holds a position in the town up to 7 p.m., and to-day the enemy ad- vanced their skirmish line to within half a mile of ours. They will probably advance their lines and attack in the morning. Our loss in to-day’s fighting will not exceed eighty men. Prisoners captured in Marshall county state that Forre=t has twenty pieces of artillery and about 7,000 men. Rosseanu, by a strategic movement, invited an attack from the rebel commander, but he did not respond. There is no telegraph in working order to Pulaski. It is rumored in Atlanta that two trains were captured on Monday by the rebel force at Big Shanty on the Chattanooga Railroad. Officers just from the front confirm this statement. Col. J. L. Donalson has organized the entire force ef the Quartermaster’s Department, numbering over 7,000 men, comprising 8 regi- ments. They are ready at any moment to co- operate with the regular troops. FROM NEW ORLEANS. Gov. Helm declares the New Constitution the law of Louisiana. CarRo, ILL., September 27th._The steamer Magenta from New Orleans on the 2ist inst. has arrived. The gunboat Selma from Mobile Bay arrived at New Orleans on the 2ist. She reported that the rams Tuscaloosa and Nashville have gone to Montgomery, Ala., but the report is discredited, and it was believed that they had gone up Spanish river to geta nearer position to Mobile. An official announeement of Gov. Helm gives the total number of votes cast for and against the new constitution, aggregating 6,836 for it, and 1,666 against it. The Governor’s proclamation declares the constitution henceforth the ordained and es- tablished law of Louisiana. FROM EUROPE.

Wash- burne left Washington on Saturday tor City Point on the steamer Baltimore, Capt. Mitch- ell, on & visit to the front. The party reached City Point at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, and accompanied by Generals Grant, Meade and Warren, with the members of their respective £.afis, proceeded to visit the works In front of Petersburg. ‘The day was remarkably quiet, the only firing goingon being an occasional exchange of shots between pickets. The spires of the cockade city were plainly to be seen. Toe party returned to City Point, spending the evening atthe modest tent-headquarters of Gen. Grant, where they dined, Gen. Butler and other officers of note being present. The next morning the Baltimore took the party up James river, andon its way up was joined by the Greyhound, Gen. Butler’s steamer, having on board Gen. B. with Gen. Ord and Gen. Bir- ney. Both boats (the Baltimore and the Grey. hound) steamed to within ¥ of a mileof Datch Gap and the remainder of the distance was traveled in Gen. Batler’s six oared gig, a8 be- ing a less conspicuous object forthe rebel gun- ners than the steamers. At the canal some time was spent in witness- ing the satisfactory progress of the canaling operations, and the visitors examined with considerable interest the ‘‘go-ior” (or gopher) holes dug by the negro soldiers in the side of the high bank (cutting) to protect themselves from the rebel shells. While the party were viewing the canal no shells were fired by the enemy, an unaccounte able act of courtesy on their part, considering the distinguished targets they had just then in range, bnt the gig had hardly left with them on its return to the steamers, when the rebels opened fire on the canal workmen, replied to by our guns on the bluff, and some of the rebel shells burst piquantly near to the excursionists, who, however, were soon out of harm’s way without casualty. Steaming down James river, the Baltimore and Greyhound were lashed together, and the party dined together on the Greyhound, and when some distance below City Point the boats ‘were separated, Gen. Grant and the other offi- cers returning up river in the Greyhound, and Secretary Seward and party going on board the Baltimore, which then entered upon her return trip to Washington. About ten o’clock at night, while in the bay, the crank-pin of the Baltimore broke, leaving the vessel in a disabled and helpless condition; but by firing guns and sending up rockets, the attention of the steamship Warrior (which for- tunately happened to be in the vicinity) was attracted, and the Warrior coming to the res- cue, took the Baltimore in tow, bringing her up to Giesboro, trom whence atug conveyed the distinguished party to the Navy-Yard, where they arrived about 6 o'clock last eve- ning. PeRsonaL.—Major General Hooker, Brig. General Bartletts and Wilson, U.S. A., Gover- por Curtin of Pennsylva and Lord Mahon, of England, are at Willards. LOCAL NEWS. ’ —__——._—_ SEvENTH WARD EXEMPTION ASSOCIATION.— The meeting vas called to order at So’clock by the President, C. S. Noyes, Esq. Reports from committes being called for, Mr. Murtagh, from the committee appointed at the previous meeting to call on Gen. Fry, reported that they had performed that mission, and were kindly received by that officer. To their re- quest he replied that he sheuld decline giving any more credits to the city for voluntary en- listments made prior to the present draft. He thought he had n liberal in the 33 per cent. Which he had allowed upon the enrollment. In self-defence, if credits were insisted upon, he would be compelled toopen the case and add on the allowance. Thespeaker stated that one credit had been allowed in the person of a soldier who had enlisted at the Arsenal since the beginning of their efforts to fill the quota. Mr. Semmes reported that he had put in four men yesterday, reducing the quota to 106. Re- cruits were presenting themselyes very fast, and if he had twelve days more he could fill the quota. The draft for this ward would take place on Thursday next. A committee of colored citizens, by their chairman, Mr. John F. N. Wilkinson, reported that from two meetings of their people, heldon Monday and Tuesday evenings, they had col- lected the sum of $119, which amount he hand- ed over to the treasurer, Mr. Semmes. Mr. Elvans desired to know if any part of the $50,000 veted by the Council on Menday evening could be obtained fn furtherance of the i rtant objects of these Mr. —e the Mayor up6n the subject and that gentle- man’s opinion was that the appropriation could not be made available. Mr. McGinnis then offered a resolution that & committee ot five be fappointed to wait on the Mayor and ascertain from him whether or not the proportion of money due that ward could be obtained in thirty, sixty or ninety days to enable them to getrecraits. The com- mittee consists ef Messrs. McGinnis, Elvans, Murtagh, Lloyd and Yeatman. The associa- tion then adjourned until to-night at half-past 7 o'clock. ———— THE DRAFTED MEN.—NSince our last report the following drafted men have reported to the Board of Enrollment: FIRST DISTRICT.

We hear that she has left her realestate and house furniture to an ex- policeman, who had been ker business agent, and to whose fair dealing she was indebted for the comfortable circumstances in which she was enabled to abandon her former course of life. Her personal property, after the neces- sary expenses of her funeral and cther debts have been paid, is to be divided equally be- tween the Catholic and Protestant Orphan Asyloms. PRINTERS IN LUC! mong those enrolled, and whose names were in the box to-day in the Fourth Ward drawing, were fifty-eight employees of the Star, Republican, Chronicle and.
