BER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER, SS Grant's New Movement on Richmond. teresting Particulers— The Suc- River—' Ez Pesition 21S The United States mail steamer Express ar- | Tived here this morning from City Point, which place she left yesterday at 10 a. m. The news brought by the Express has been | anticipated by Gen. Grant’s official dispatch: but we get some additional particulars relative to the movement on Richmond from parties | who came up on her as passengers. Early on Wednesday night Gen. Ord’s corps (the 10th) began to move from their old posi- ion to Jones’ Neck, on the James, where a pontoon bridge had been thrown across the river, and immediately began to cross. By 12 o’clock the advance guard succeeded in effect- ing the cressing in safety, and before daylight | the whole corps got over. An advance was immediately ordered, and the intrenchments on Chapin’s Farm were | carried, with but little show of resistance on | the part of the rebels. There appeared to be | to which are largely increasing. For the but few rebel troops in the intrencbments, and it is thought they had been previously with- drawn, either to be sent up the Valley to check Sheridan, or to the Weldon Railroad, fearing a blow from Grant in that direction. We, how- ever, captured between three and four hundred prisoners and fifteen pieces of artillery, as already stated. The 18th corps, under Birney, advanced from Deep Bottom about the same time General Ord did. Geneial Birney moved up to the New Market road, and carried the mtrenchments ‘with ense, the rebels showing but little dispo- sition to contest the ground. They appeared to be completely surprised by the appearance of our troops in that direction. Of the subsequent movements of our forces nothing was known at City Point when the Express left there, and there was nothing to indicate that the advance of Ord or Birney had been checked. It is confidently believed at City Point that the rebels have withdrawn large numbers of troops from the defenses of Richmond and sent them up the Valley to aid Early. This being the case, Ord and Birney can make considerable progress before the Tebels can concentrate their forces. On Wednesday night the rebels madea fu- rious attack on our advance earthworks in front of Fort Sedgwick, on the Jerusalem plank road. These entrenchments were held by a portion of the 2d brigade, 3d division, 9th corps, and the rebels were handsomely repulsed with considerable lors. These are the works which were captured from the rebels several weeks ago by our troops, and this is the second un- successfulattempt the «Johnny’s” have made to re-take them. The troops attacked were commanded by Col. Russell, of the 25th U. S. colored troops, Fort Sedgwick opened fire on the rebels and accelerated their movements on their retreat. Russell had his men in line of battle in two minutes after the attack. The Express brought up forty two sick men of the Engineer brigade, under charge of As- sistant Surgeon Baum. These men were im- mediately placed in hospital here. Another batch of rebel deserters, numbering about 25 men, reached here on the Express from City Point. They have taken the oath, ee be furnished with transportation orth. IMPORTANT NAVAL CHANGES, On the Sth instant the Navy Department is- sued orders relieving Rear Admiral David G- Farragut from the com mand of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, and assigning him to the command of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, in place of Rear Admiral Lee, who will take charge of the West Gulf Squadron Theee officers have been directed to turn over their respective commands with as little delay as possible, and they are now actively engaged in making the necessary arrangementsto do so, THE WEEKLY STAR, containing a great amount of valuable and interesting reading matter, is now upon our counter and ready for tale. Sw We have received a copy of a pamphlet, entitled «‘ Thoughts on Labor, Capital,Carren- cy, &c , with tables showing the value of a pa- per dollar in gold ata premium of one toone thousand per cent. by a citizen of Maryland,” published by Joseph Shillington of this city. ‘The tables especiaily, will be found very ser- viceable by those wishing to make a calcula- tion as to the exact value of the paper dollar, on any fiuctuation of the price of gold. The Good News. Secretary Stanton’s bulletin contains the gratifying announcement that Sheridan’s cav- alry entered Staunton on Monday morning- On Sunday evening Sheridan’s cavalry and infantry were at Harrisonburg, which is nearly thirty miles distant from Staunton, towards Strasburg. Yet, by eight o’clock the next morning, the advance were entering Staunton- Sheridan is certainly entitled to the creditot making the best time of the war. Whether Early has retreated still further on to Lynchburg by the way of Lexington (Hun- ter’s old route) or fallen back through Rockfish Gap to Charlottesville, isa matter of conjec- ture. If, however, itis true as the Richmond Whig despatch states, that our cavalry occupy Waynesboro, then it would seem that Early FROM THE FRONT. [Correspondence Associated Press. j HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC, Sept. 28— Evening —Five deserters came in last night in frontof Colonel Russell's brigade of the Ninth Corps, giving themselves up to the colored pickets on the line. These men had been con- scripted and had served out their time, bat could not obtain their discharge. As soon as they found that they would not be forced into our ranks, they made up their minds to desert, expressing their intention to their comrades. This they accomplished, and are on their way North, under the terms of General Grant’s proclamation. The rebels seem to have got over their noted antipathy to the colored soldiers. Some time ago they made it a rule to keep up a fire wherever these soldiers made their appear- ance. but pow they remain as quiet on that part of the line occupied by the colored troops ¥ | as at any other point. When deserters come in (many of them Vir- giniane, too,) they are always willing to accept food from whatever source it may come, and they can often be seen sitting, eating with the negroes, and acting toward them as though their ckins were as white as their own. Lieut. Ames, ot Ames’ battery, was killed on Monday by a rebel sharpshooter. The ball entered his side, and he died almost instantly. A good deal of firing has been indulged by both sides to-day along the center and right, but without any result of note. Quite a lively skirmish occurred at dark last @vening, while pickets were being relieved on the center of the line. W. B. McGregor. Financtat.—The New York Cemmercial Advertiser of yesterday evening says: The stock market exhibits a better feeling. The decline of yesterday was recovered at the first board, and a stronger speculative feeling is apparent. There are, however, few outside orders either to buy or sell. Governments were rather weak. At present purchasers are diverted to the regular issues of ten-forties and seven-thirties, the subscriptions res- ent week the subscriptions to the seven-thirties alone have averaged $1,250,000. There is no disposition to speculate in Gov- | ernments antil itis ascertained whether Eu- | ropean buyers are disposed to increase their bids. Five-twenties declined %; sixes of ’81, 3, and ten-forties 1. Certificates improved \. A strong attempt was made upon the street last night to create a rally upon gold, the ex- citement opposite the Gold m being kept up until an unusually late hour. The effort ‘was so far successfal as to pat up the price to 204. The market opened this morning weak at 200, and varied about 2, up and down, du- Ting the morning. There isa steadier feeling than yesterday; and as the supply of cash gold as better, there is an improvement in the de- liveries. The money market is without change. There + is a good supply on call upon good collaterals at 7 per cent. Business paper is still very closely scrutinized, and the sales have rarely been so lightas at present The rates range trom 9 to 15 per cent. for first to second-class paper. DISTRESSING AFFAIR—Three Crildren Poi- soned— Two of them Dead.—An accident of a hor- rible character occurred in the southwestern section of the city on Wednesday afternoon last, which resulted in the death, during the night, of two ot the victims. Itappears that at the time stated three children of Caspar Sny- der, living at No. 118 Iceland street, near Fre- mont, wandered toa lot in the vicinity of the Spring Gardens, known as Oyster Shell lot, near several of the oyster-packing establish- ments in that vicinity. It is stated that they there ate some of the weeds growing on the lot. They returned home, and during thenight they were seized with cramps, and their stomachs assumed unusual size. Medical aid was called in, but during Wednesday night twoof them expired, viz: William, aged two years, and John aged four years. The eldest, aged seven years, was still alive lastevening, but in a pre- carious condition. Yesterday morning Coro- ner Thomas held an inquest over the deceased children, and the jury rendered a verdict of ‘death from eating poisonous weeds.”’—Balti- more Sun. wa-Rev.

Charlottesville is thirty-five miles from Staunton, connected with it by a pranch of the Virginia Central road, and is the junction of the railroads leading to Gordons- ‘ville, Lynchburg and Richmond. Waynes- oro is on the Virginia Central road, between Staunton and Charlottesville, about twelve mies from the former place. E Later yesterday came the inspiriting an- Neuncement of the brilliant successes of Gen. Graut on the north side otf James river, in the direction of Richmond. One army column proceeded from Dutch Gap «s & base, which is at the mouth of that curve of the river which is nearest Richmond. The river at that point forms a loop, so to speak, and at the gap a stone may be thrown acrossit. Here theenergy and ractical ability ot Gen. Batler is exhibiting tself in cutting a channel across the narrow neck, thug saving many miles of river naviga- tion. The fortifications and entrcnehments year Chapin’s farm are on the old turnpike or Osborne's road to Richmond, which rugs near the river by nearly a straight course from the Dutch Gap. Chapin’s tarmor bluff is said, by old residents of Richmond now here, to be aboutnine miles from the doomed city. The other column sent out by Gen. Grant proceeded from Deep Bottom, which is at the head of an- other of the curves of the James river, farther down than Dutch Gap, but higher in latitude. It proceeded to the New Market road, which leads to Richmond by rather a circuitous route, and took the entrenchments there The intersection of the Mill road with the New Market and Richmond ‘oads, the int at which Gen.

A committee, consisting of Messrs. John A. Rheem, of the First Ward; J. Russell Barr. of the Second Ward; N. D. Larner, of the Third Ward; W. W. Moore, of the Fourth Ward; Geo. F Gulick, of the Fifth Ward; Bennet Swain, of the Sixth Ward; and ©. S. Noyes, of the Seventh Ward, were appointed a committee to ascertain upon what terms the money could be raised. Mr. Rheem reported on behalf of the com- mittee, on its return, that the Bank of Wash- ington had agreed to loan $25,000 of the arnount required, for 6 per cent. atone vear; and Messrs Pugh and Pettibone, of the Councils, who had also been authorized by the Mayor to ascertain upon what terms the money could be got, re- ported that Jay Cook & Co. had agreed to take $25,000 more (filling up the amount required) on the same terms. The money will be distributed according to the terms of the act. The committee will meet again to-morrow at 12 o’clock, at the Mayor’s office. a SgvENTH WARD EXEMPTION ASSOUIATION.— The President, O. S. Noyes, Esq., called the meeting to order at o'clock. Mr. Semmes reported that 13 ofthe Olub of 152 members had been drafted. Hedesired that they should call upon him after they received their notice. It was his desire thatevery draft- ed man should be released by filling the quota with volunteers. He was willing to give his time and money to accomplish the object. Mr. Bartle desired to know whether the com- mittee to call upon the Mayor in relation to the bounty fund had performed their daty. Mr. E. Lloyd reported that the committee had performed their duty. Committees frem other wards had also called upon the Mayor, whe informed them that the bill was defective and could not be made operative in its present shape. On next Monday evening amendatory Meera os viewscftes Mayor nnn e oO wil Hw { Alderman Noyes that the bill origina. ted in the lower 4 although defective in some ulars, i bey ‘pe amended, beequse that ed afer the pas- sage of the bill and thereby rendered amend- passage on the same evening. e’clock this evening. Sate George Sandy Onmmina Court, Judge Fisher.— ing the case of Epraim Phillips, charged with the murder of Jas. W. Boyle, in (teorgetown, On the 3d instant, was resumed, the evidence for the prosecntion being continued. As yet no one has testified who directly saw the shoot- ing. The evidence thus far isof persons who heard the report and rushed into the Keystone restaurant, which is kept by Michael Doyle, and not by Mr. Giles, as we erroneously stated yesterday, where they found the deceased in the back room shot through the abdomen, and the accused leaning on the bar. Some of them told Phillips that deceased was dying, and that he (Phillips) had better see him, when he re- plied with an oath « Let him die.” Phillips acknowledged that he fired the fatal shot, but said that it was accidental. The dying declaration of the deceased, it is stated, is to the effect that accused deliberately shot him, and the counsel are arguing to-day its admiesibility. Tae Deoporizine Buriat Case.—This morning, Chiez Justice Cartter sitting in Cham- bers, had before him a petition by George W. Scallay, O. Watson ild, O. H. Todd, and Edward Wyman, for a preliminary inyanction against Thomas Holmes, restraining him from using a certain deodorizing burial case, the which Dr. Scallay claims as his patent, and alleges that Dr. Holmes is infringing upon his righis' The parties are all well known em- balmers here, and the case excites considerable interest among the profession. Mr. Broadnax appears for the petitioners, and Mr. Morris for the respondent. gts THE ENROLLING Orricers.— Weare request- ed to say that the statement made at the Fourth Ward meeting afew nights since, that the en- rolling officers received so much for each name enrolled, and thereby there were many more names enrolled than there would otherwise have been, is incorrect. For the time emplo: they received #3 per day, without any refer- ence tothe number enrolled. They were re- quired to take the names of all persons where they found them, and had no discretion except as regards age. —_o——_ FovurtH WARD SraTion Casxs.—O. Caton, drunk and disorderly; military.

Market dull. Canal.—The canal is again inorder to the western terminus. The total number of arri- vals during the month of September to this date was ferty-one. Three boats from Cum- berland, on the way since June 28, arrived on the 2ist inst. A letter from Geo. W. Spates, superintendent of the 2d division, dated Ber- lin, Sept. 28, received at the collector's office, announces the encouraging fact that the loaded boats from above have arrived at that point, and & fleet of 30 boats is now moving. The boats were detained at Berlin about 18 hours by a leak in a wasteway there, and left for George- town on the 29th. At the time Mr. Spates wrote, the balance of the second division was in goad boating order. If nothing happens to detain the meving boats, the entire fleet may arrive at the docks to-night. President Spates is in Georgetown, anxiously awaiting the ar- rival of the fleet, which will initiate the re- sumption of ravigation of theentire route.
