LATEST FROM GRANT'S ARMY. —_—»—_——_ 'y onall Sides, —_—<—_ {Correspondence Associated Press.] HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Nov. 6.—The first division of the 2d corps, now commanded by Gen. Miles, was reviewed yes- terday by Gen. Hancock, and presented a fine appearanee. This division has been largely reinforced by recruits, and is now one of the largest in the army. Gen. Hancock was enthusiastically cheered as he rode along the line. After the review, the principal officers pres- ent adjourned to Gen. Miles’ quarters, where they partook of a collation, and spent an hour in social intercourse. There was quitea lively time between the pickets on the left of the line Friday night, re- sulting in the loss of a few men on wach side. Yesterday a deal of artillery firing took | place on the Jerusalem Plank Road, but with- outloss tous. Last night the pickets in the same vicinity opened fire shortly after dark, and kept it up 6) ly all night. At abont 11 Pp. M. the rebels attempted to advance their Picket line here, to recover some ground which | our men took last week, but our soldiers, being wide awake, made stern objections, and for an hour or two the exchange of compiiments in | the shape of lead was quite heavy. | This is the old contested ground near what | was called Fort Heil, where firing has been al- most incessant for three months, and the place ‘was very appropriately designated, for a hotter or more undesirable locality could scarcely be found this side of the region known by that familiar name. A citizen of Richmond arrived within our lines yesterday. morning, having left that city four days ago. He was in the liquor business, but fearing that the authorities would soon seize and put him in the army, he concluded to take an unceremonious departure. He tells the old stories of want and destitution in Rich- mond, of garroters operating nightly in the seeee the high prices of all necessaries of life, etc. He also says the rebels in front of Petersburg are busy mining under our works, but at what point could not be ascertained, as a strict guard is kept in the vicinity, and no one allowed near the place excepting those engaged in the work. ‘Very little faith is placed in his statements. All is quiet throughout the line. W. D. McGrecor. FROM THE FRONT. Heavy Artillery and Musketry Firing on our Left. The United States hospital steamer Connec- ticut, Captain Stranahan, arrived here this morning at o’clock, from City Point, with three hundred and eighty-five sickand wound. ed men, under charge of Surgeon T. B. Hood. The Connecticut reports that on Saturday night about eight o’clocx heavy artiliery firing ‘was heard ai City Pointfrom the direction of Fort Hell, on our left in Hancock’s line. This | cannonading continued for some time, when rapid firing began, and continued up to three o'clock yesterday morning when it ceased. When the Connecticut left City Point, yester- day at half-past nine o’clock a. m., reports ‘Were afloat there that the rebels had attempted to blow up For Hell, (having undermined it,) after which they charged the works several times, but were as often repulsed with loss. Parties, however, arriving at City Point from Hancock's front yesterday morning had heard nothing of such explosion at the time they left, though there were reports that the | Tebels were mining with the pu: of at- tempting to dislodge us from our annoying po- sition on the Weldon road. Due precautions, however, had been taken torender any such Jabor fruitless, and to give them a Roland for their Oliver. ‘The disabled men brought up on the Connec- necticut were principally fever cases, but there ‘were some few severely wounded among the number. The bospitals at City Point are in excellent condition, and the number of inmates has been | materially reduced within a week past, many | of the convalescents having been sent home on furloughs. The mail steamer Manhattan, Captain E. A. | Ryther, which lefi City Peint about the same | t_ me with the Connecticut, arrived at 6th street wharf this morning at 9 o’clock. Affairs on the north side of the James remain | unchanged. Therebels keep up their usual firing on the working parties on the canal at j Datch Gap, which, however, does not inter- fere with the work, which is now rapidly ap- Froaching completion. x ‘The Manhattan brought up the body of Capt, Mullery, of the 7th New Jersey volunteers, which bas been embalined for transportation to the friends of the deceased in the North. Company I of the 3d U. S. artillery, under command of Lieut. Smith, came up from For- tress Monroe on the Manhattan, and weresent to Camp Barry, near this city. A Baseress CHARGE.—Postmaster Bowen, ima communication, denies in toto the state- ment made by a Washington correspondent of the New York Ezpress that any discrimination has been made between Democratic and Re- | publican soldiers’ yotes passing through the Washington office. He says in this connec- tion: «I assert, without fear of successful contra- | diction, that no distinction has ever been made | ‘with any of the soldiers’ votes received from the Army of the Potomac, or any other source, but all have been forwarded alike; that there ig not in the office, or in the possession of any elerk, or other person attached to this office, a single soldiers’ vote, excepting those received by the last mail from bytentnes the Potomac, and those dropped in the office for mailing since six o’clock this morning, (all of which ‘will be sent forward by the mail of this after- noon.)” The following is to the same effect: Post Orrice WAsuIncToR City, D. C. November 4, 1:64. } We, Lambert Tree, chief clerk, and James A. Kennedy, superintendent of the floor of this office, do hereby certify that we do not know, and never have known, the Republican from the Democratic votes received in this office from soldiers inthe Armyof the Potomac or elsewhere, and never have seen the enclosure of an envelope of a soldiers’ vote. That in all such cases such votes have been treated alike, and have been mailed and forwarded without discrimination in favor of any, and that the clerks in the office have been instructed to so mail and forward soldiers’ letters. that no sus- picion of partiality should attach to tne office. We further state that we have read a dis- patch published in the New York Express of the 3d inst, containing allegations against the Office in connection with soldiers’ votes, and here declare that every one of them is false and libelous.

IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTHWEST — Hood Repulsed by our Navy in two At- tempts to Cross into Tennessee—He Crosses a Portion of his Army at Flor- ence, Ala.—Our Forces 1n hot Pursuit. eee eae The following is taken from a letter received in this city by a ngval officer from an officer in command ot one of the divisions of the Mis~ sissippi squadron. The letter is dated Uhatta- nooga, Nov. ist: ““My boats have had two brashes with Hood’s force, and repulsed him both times. He has now gone down below the shoals, anda large portion of his army has crossed at Flor- ence for invasion otf Middle and East Tennes- see. «Gen. Gross’ brigade passed here to-day on the road to Athens to head him off. «Some prisoners who wished toship (though Isentthem off to Nashville) represent Hood as tyranical in the extreme. The men have lived two days on corn and water only, with the addition of pumpkins stolen by the way. “He suffers by wholesale desertions, and these people coming to us say he intended moving southward, but was prevented by the threats of the soldiers to desert if he did not give them the promised harvest in East Ten- nessee. “He will likely be bagged. Sherman ts pur- suing; Gross flanking, and Thomas ahead.” WO VALUABLE BLOCKADE RUNNERS CAP- us TURKD. iL The Navy Department has received tele- graphic dispatches from Rear Admiral D. 1. Porter,commanding North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, announcing the capture of two more steamers off Wilmington, running the blockade, viz: The Lucy and the Annie. The Lucy was captured on the 20th ult., by the Santiago de Cubas, having a cargo of 411 bales of cotton and 25 tons of tobacco. She was built in Liverpool by Jinex, Huggan & Co., is an iron or steel side-wheel steamer of about 50) tons, and similar to the Bansbee, captured sometime since and now in the nayal service. The Annie was captured on the 3ist ult., by the Wilaerness and Niphon, having a cargo of 51> bales of cotton, 3¢ tons of tobacco and 15 barrels of turpentine. She was built by Dud- geon, ot London, is a double screw iron steam- er of about 400 tons, and of the same class as the Don, now in the naval service, and some eight others which have been captured or de- stroyed within a year—all built by the same party. NAVAL CAPTURES. Rear Admiral Farragut, commanding the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, commani- cates to the Navy Department the following captures by the U. S. steamer Mobile, Acting Volunteer Lieut. P. Girand, Commander, on the 15th of October, the Mexican schooner Louisa, four miles south of St. Louis Pass. She had an assorted cargo. She was ostensibly bound to New Orleans. from Havana, but when captured was heading direct for St. Louis Passe. And on the t9th of October, the three- masted schooner Emily, while attempting to run out of St. Louis Pass, laden with about 130 bales of cotton. Both of these captures were made by the U.S, steamer Mobile, Acting Lieut. P, Girand. Also, the capture, on the 12th of October, of the British schooner Louisa, by the U. § Chocusa, Lieut. Com. R. W. Meade, jr., with a general cargo. She belonged to Nassau, and ‘was ostensibly bound from Havana to Mata- moras, but when discovered was making for Arkansas Pass. NAMES OF NAVAL PRISONERS CAPTURED BY THE REBELS. s Admiral Farragut, ina communication to tho Navy Department, dated October 25th. says: In my dispatches reporting the action of the Sth of August, 1 mentioned that tour of the crew ofthe Tecumseh swam ashore and were taken prisoners by the rebels.

Rebel Admissions of the Capture of Ply- mouth, N. ©.—What the Rebels Expect Should McClellan be Elected. ‘We have received full files of Richmond pa. pers of Thursday last, the 3d inst., frem which we extract the following: Capture of Plymouth, N.C. The enemy have, it appears, retaken Ply- mouth, N.O. It will be remembered tha: this pine was stormed last summer by General oke, at the head of his brigade, and that asa reward for his gallantry he was promoted to rank as Major General in the provisional arm y- The enemy, after three days’ hard fighting, passed up the middle river, and on the 3ist came down the Roanoke towards the forts. Our troops in the two forts, one above and the other below Plymouth, om the Roanoke, were commanded by Gen. Baker, who fought until the upper fort had been passed and the lower one rendered useless by the dismeunting of all the guns. We then evacuated the place under heavy shelling trom. theeremy’s gunboats. Our loss was slight. Plymouth is a place of gomparaiively little importance to. us except as a check to'the ene- my’s gunboat excursions into the interior of the State of North Carolina.

The Enquirer agrees with the Charlottes- ville Chronicle that owrs is a war for supremacy of race and right of self-government, and says the question of conscripting negro soldiers is one of expediency purely. Destruction ef the Albemarle. The Richmond Dispatch, of Friday last, has ashort account of the destruction of the rebel ram Albemarle, by Lieutenant Cashing. The destruction of the ram was complete. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. NEWS FROM BUFFALO. Frustration of the Raid. Burrato, Nov. 41.—A letter received this morning trom a friendly Canadian, dated at Drummondville, near Niagara, gives the par- ticnlars of the designed raid on Buffalo, which only failed, he says, through the promptitude of our authorities. Two Confederate officers, named Mock and Dinnie, had charge of the at- fair. All the arrangements were completed, and they had a hundred men here who had been coming in for a week previous, and were scattered abont the city in different boarding- houses. Ata signal, these men were to fire the city by means of Greek fire. Though the plan has failed, it is not entirely abandoned, and they swear they will yet destroy Buffalo. Captain Ottenoth, of the 179th New York Volunteers, has been arrested here and sent to Washington, on a charge of being implicated in the soldiers: voting frauds. The Express, this morning, editorially states that frauds in the soldiers’ yotes haye been discovered in this city. Repert of the Bark Speedville being Boarded by the Pirate Chickama PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.—The bark Speed- ville, Oaptain Dixon, reports haying been boarded by the Chickamanga, on the second instant, in Jat. 40.30, long. 69.10,and having a lady and child passengers, was bonded for $15,000, to be paid in gold, and was allowed to proceed after taking on board Captain Thomp- son and crew, of the schooner Otterdock, from Bangor. for Georgetown, since abandoned. The schooner Goodspeed, before reported as destroyed by the Tallahassee, was destroyed by the Chickamanga. ‘The bark Victoria, from Miragoane, reports that on the 31st ultimo, latitude 35 22, longitude 73 3, she saw a vesselon fire, burned to the ‘water’s edge, supposed to be of three hundred tons. Troops at New York. New York, Noy. 7.—Five transports with troops arrived this morning. LOCAL NEWS. Se THE RvsH or Vorers Homewarns.—For over & week past the different trains north- wards have been taking away large numbers of soldiers and others, on the way to their re- spective residences to cast their votes to-mor- row for President, &c., and it is calculated that since last Monday morning over thirty- five thonsand persons have passed over the road. So great has been the rush that at times the depot has been crowded for hours before the departure of the trains with those anxious to get even standing room in the cars and on the platforms, At times some disorder has occurred, but on each occasion it was prompt- ly suppressed. The rush atthe gate has at times been tre- mendovs, and the guard there had to be strengthened, and on one er two occasions soldiers, in their anxiety to get away, not liking the judicious measures taken by the company to prevent the cars bing crowded by friends of passengers who are anxious to spend their last minute with them, have threatened to tear down the railing, and some, after gotting in the gate, having no respect for the car specially reserved for the ladies, (which is usually opened to ladies and their companions only, ) have attempted to get in by the windows. The wants of the public have, however, been promptly met by the company, and when it ‘was impossible for all persons on the platform to get on the train extra trains have been sent out, and we believe that, thus far, not a single passenger has been compelled to remain in the depot over night. The fact of itself speaks volumes for the management of the road, and much praise is dne the officers—Mr. W. P. Smith, master of transportation; Mr. Koontz, the general agent here; Mr. Walker, the passenger agent, and the ticket agents—who have been untiring in their exertions to accommodate the rush, whicn is unprecedented in the history of railroading. The conductors on the Washington Branch road—Capts. Dukehart, Snyder, Phelps, Tay- lor, and others—haye had an extremely hard time of it, but they have performed their duties in an unexceptionable manner. Not only has the rush occasioned much work for these gen- tlemen, but almost every attache of ihe road has worked for a week past almost constantiy, and no doubt they will all fee! ralieyed when the last train leaves to-night. Yesterday, the hovelsin Baltimore were crowded by persons awaiting an opportunity to leave that city. The estimated number (5,000) will, by the trains leaving to-day, probably be increased to trom 40,000 to 50,000. ores gee CHARGE OF GRAND LagcENY.—Sam'! Wash- ington (colored) war arrested last night by Sergeant Taitupon a charge of stealing S110 from Henrietta Spriggs. The complainant is & milk-dealer and keeps her milk-house in Naylor’s Alley, near 13th and © streets. She had her money wrapped up in a piece of silk. She took it out to change a 20 note tora friend Sunday morning, and laid iton her counter to wait onacustomer. Upon returning to get it, it was gone. She went to a fortune-teller, who told her that the first man she met wearing a white cloth around his head was the person | who stole her money. The prisoner was in the shop when the money was changed, and left when the complainant was serving her customer. She told the facts to Sergeant Tait, who arrested the prisoner, searched him and found the money as complainant described, ex- cept a $5 note, all in a new pocket book bought by the prisoner yesterday. The prisoner denies stealing it, but says he found iton the pavement, Justice Miller rec- ognized the prisoner as having been arrested a few days ago for stealing lumber from Mc- Lean’s lumber yard. Oddly enough, the pris- oner was found dressed as the fortune-teller described, and facts elicited were strong enough to send him to jail for court, and he was fully committed. Sag HiGHwAyY Roppery.—On Saturday night as Thomas Johnson, colored, was leaving a col- ored barber sbop on Third street, between E and F, on the Island, he was met by Charles Williams, alias William Johnson, and Hugh Payne, when the first named forcibly took his pocket-book, containing four or five dollars, and walked off, the pocket-book being passed over to Payne. Johnson followed them, but they refus: to give it up, and he called on Officer Weedon, who arrested the parties and took them before Justice Handy, and they ‘were committed to jail for court.
