THE SITUATION. Tho forces of General Grant on the Weldon railroad ‘achieved a complete victory on Sunday, which amply repays him for tbe discomMture at the same point on Friday. The enemy m-de avery determined assault upon our troops of the Fifth corps, with a view to recover the railroad, but were repulsed in three comsocutive charges with heavy loss. No more-fighting had occurred up to Monday morning at six o'clock. Meantime our linea had been greatly strengthened. In the fight on this road on Friday, of which we give full details to-day, whou the enemy got into General Warren's rear, by the extension of our tine, the condi tion of the corps became moat critical, and it was only Dy opening the fire of our artillery upon friend and foe alike, in the desperate strnggle which ensued, that the corps was saved. Our men. it is said, preferred death from the muzzles o' their own guns, rather than sur- render, This circumstance probably accounts ‘for our heavy loss. Accounts of afbattle near Charlestown, Va., on Sunday and the driving back of the Union }forces reached us yesterday by way of Baltimore. It is said to haye com- menced at eight o'clock in the morning. Our skirmishers were driven in, General Wilson’s division on the right suffered heavily. TheSixth, Eighth and Ninteenth corps were in the thick of theaction. Our line extended from Berryville road tothe Smitbfield Pike. It was rumored that the rebels were in nossession of Martinsburg and somewhat of @ panic prevailed; but despatches from the Upper Potomac last nicht state that although the enemy occupy the country in the vicinity of Martinsburg, they have not crossed the Potomac. Skirmisning was going on along tbe lines yerterday. but nothing more. Our forces are said to hold « strang position, A despatch from Hagorstewn says tbat all was quiet along the bor- dor, and there bas been no fizhting in the valley as far as known. 4 large supply train of the rebels bad been destroyed by our troops on Monday, on the Martinsburg and Winchester turnpike, $ ‘The news from Atlanta is cheering. On the 13th our forces charged a portion of the rebel works, took and beld the rifle pits, Two hundred rebels rushed into our tines and joined them.

The Albany Regency desire the friends of General McClellan to understand that “Gover- nor Seymour is not a candidate for nomination at Chicago, and is utterly opposed to the use of his name for any public position.” In other words, he is so sick and tired of the vanities of this wicked world that he not only retires from the Presidential arena in disguat, but is “utterly opposed” to the use of his name any more, even as a candidate for Governor. This is from the Regency; but it is all a trick. Sey- mour is playing possum—he is only pretending to be dead. He is the reserved candidate of the Regency tricksters for the Chicago.nomina- tion, and the game which they have contrived for his promotion is simply a game of spoils and.plunder for themselves, and may be very iefly explained. The Regency intend to hold Governor Sey- mour as a candidate in the background, so as to keep him out of harm’s way at Chicago un- til they bave killed off McClellan. With this important preliminar§ movement accomplished, it is supposed that there will be no difficulty in’ trotting in the Governor among the small fry as the only remaining available ticket for de- mocratic harmony. Why not? _ Was he not, as the champion of the war democracy, elected Governor in 1862, and has he not been tho- roughly identified with the peace democracy ever since? Gen. McClellan first being put out of the way, is not Governor Seymour ,then, a “‘ double-ender,” the very man for Chicago, as a milk-and-wacer war candidate on a peace-at- any-price platform? Of course he is. In the next place, by hauling him off into. the rear in the outset the Re- gency are only repeating an olf trick of democratic strategy—the old trick which se- cured their Baltimore nomination of 1844 to Polk, and their nomination of 1852 to poor The reader of American politics of the last twelve years cannot fail to remember how, after vainly wrangling and balloting for nearly a whole week over Douglas, and Marcy, and Dickinson, and Buchanan, and half a dozen other old stagers, the convention of 1852, when poor Pierce wae brought in from bebind the curtain, seized upon bim and nominated him as by an act of spontaneous combustion. Just s0 the Regency calculate upon bringing in Gov- ernor Seymour as the Inst resort, after they shall have killed off McCle'lan, and got the convention completely by the ears in reference such superannuated old fogies and im- practicables as Judge Nelson; Guthrie, of K tue Fillmove and poor Pierce.

Against it threa assaults were made, a!) of which were repu'sed, and the enemy’s loss must have been very great. The rear division of General Hancock’s corps arrived to the assistance of General Warren on the night of the 2ist, and whatever appre- hensions, if any, were felt for the safety of the corps are allayed. Jt seems the cause of, the loss to Warren’s corps on the 19tb is to be attributed to the fact that our artillery were obliged to fire upon our own men as well as the enemy, while both were promiscuously engaged. It wasa dreadful alternative, but ‘t was imperative, and friend and foe fell alike from the missiles of our own guns—but the corps was saved. It wasa bold and’ perilous | experiment; but its success amply compensates for the loss we sustained. The position is of the most vital importance, and we cannot hope for better news than that the enemy’s lines of infantry will continue to “foam themselves away” against its well maintained defences. In the valley there was a hard fight, but no eneral action, on Sunday. It undoubted! yen- ightened the eneMy somewhat as to’ the force that is ready to dispute his advance, and it also ‘apparently enlightened General Sheridan as | ‘to the intentions of theenemy.
