Hancock's Battlo at Ream’s Station--The Richmona ’apers on the Situation. We give to-day a map of the battle field at Ream’s station on the Weldon road, the scene of the sanguinary struggie of Thursday last, the 25th inst., with a very satisfactory account of that battle, Hitherto the accounts from the army bad not mady us acquainted with the real significance of this fight, and from the implica- tion of the despatches that our forces had abandoned the field, 2s well as the enemy’s forces, it was feared that Grant’s hold on the Weldon road must be weaker than every one recognized that it ought to be. But the ao- count of our correspondent sets this straight. ‘los battle was not fonght at all at Grant's proper position on the Weldon road, but at a poiut some miles further down, General Han- cock had been sent out two days before the battle, with two divisions of infantry and one of cavalry, !o continue the destruction of the road that Warren bad begun, snd while he was engaged in this labor the enemy fell upon this isolated force with a considerably larger one.” Ou line was formed almost in a e'rclo, The enoray hit if, near the centre, and, a‘tera hard fight, gsined a siight advantage and captured nine’guns; but he gained this ad- vantage at such 1 tremendous cost in men that he wis compeiled to make a precipitate re- treat, abandoning his wounded and leaving his dead unburied. Reinforcements from the Ninth corps were sent to Hxncock while the battle was in progress, but got up too late to Had they arrived in time to take part in the sotion the rebel force might have been destroyed completely. Our receut operations have a very percepti- ble effect on the spirits of the Southern { people, as reflected in the Southern papers. To the Rvbmond press Grant’s activity is in- comprebensible. Having made up their minds that Graut was to sit still on the James while the summer heat and the autumn fever sbould destroy his aimy, the Southern editors do not know what to make of his failure to do eo. They |ad published a programme of operations to the world, which repre- sented that the great campaign | was to dwindle and die out in that way, and they implicitly believed every point of it. But since Grant bes proved that he does not mean to sit still,-and since his occupation of the Weldon road, and his strange operations oa the north side of the river and at Dutch Gap indicate the most restleas and resolute energy in the prose- cution of the struggle, they are at a loss what to eay. The Sentinel makes a bold step and at- tributes it toinsavity. Grant is a lunatle “who deals his blow: wildly ana on every side.’ “betrays uamistakable «jus of desper and so on for nearly a column. This mast be very coldcomfort for the despondent chivairy, especia’'y as these Innatic blows are call some other of the Southern papers “successes.” Oue of Grant’s little pieces of in- sanity, abcording to the Sentinel, is the detach moat of a “smal! force to ocoupy and hold the Weldon road, where any sane man would have known they would be gob- bled up.” Well, then, why are “they not gobbled up? On the, 19th, on the 21st and on the 25th instants, rebel forees wore ordered to “gobble up” that small force seat to occupy the Weldon road. in those three at- tempts the rebels lost Gfiwen thousand men at the very least. They “gobbled up” three | thousand. F've for one ise trade that even the Yankiest of the Yunkees might be satisfied with. Tho Sentinel of the 24th calla the rebel re- pulse of the 21st“our little reverse of Sunday. In the events of that woek it finds some cause He for satisfaction, but “far greater canse in the slow, at lapec of time that wears out all things.” The argument obviously is that time may even wear out the Yankees. It is the only | hope the Soutu has. Here, then, is one rampant Southern journal that no longer telies for Southern success upon the achievements of Southern armies Crant’s ocenpation of the Weldon road has shaken even the wonderful confidence in South- ern success that has. hitherto illuminated the columns of the Richmond Whig. It entities an article vo the subject “Grant’s Late Success.” In this article it declares that itis not disposed public buildings wero cosailed and either comfort in believing that this suceess hey cost fireyod or gr « d.

TYere is another rampant Southern jour- val inclined to depend upon any other power than that of the Souttern armies. The Leaminer of Angust 22, that ry yet received the news of the battle of the 21st, saw a bright prospect fer tie confederacy on ever) hand. Grant was at a stand-still, or failed wherever he made auy attempt. Sher- man oonld not go abead, and if he attempted to retire wos lost. Sheridan wos “soattered,” and in relreal dowa the valley, and Bariy bad only to follow him into Pennsylvania and | “peace, that pearl of great price, is to be | found only in Pennsylvania.” It wants poace too.

It must have beard of the fall of Fort Morgan—sar- reydered by the maa who could not under- stand why Colonel Anderson surrendered Fort Gaines; and it must also have heard that Early did not go into Pennsylvania after that pearl, but, on the: contrary, went exactly tie other way. Every blow given at thie time tells, and itis to be seen nowhere more plainly than in those Southern papers. Let the government reinforce Grant, and urge on the great contest now. Everywhere the struggle goes on well for us, aud a specdy reinforcemens will close up the great issue on the James. That is now more than ever the important point. Lee, oan- not Aight many more batiles for the Weldon road; but he has called home Early ‘0 muster his whole force for one great one. Strengthen Grant properly for that great, inevitable bat- tle, and the final victory will be ours. Tus Tammany Democracy tem Onty DrMoo- Racy iw ran Ciry.—The recent action of Tam- many Hall in favor of General McCle!!an, wo will doubtless receive the Chicago nomination for the Presideucy, is 9 move in the right direc- tion. If followed up the Tammany democracy wi!! retain the ascendanoy in the city and State, and If they have courage and capaciiy now is the time to show them There is no doubt, Whoevtr may be elected President, Mc; Clelian will carry the city of New York hy Jat least thirty thousand majority. Now, then, let the Tammany democracy display their courage and consistency by coming out and severing their connection with the-factions that have caused the democracy to grovel in the dirt for six or seven years past. Let them out adrift from all bargaining and corrupt factions. Let them say to Fernando Wood, who, with his Mozart crew, commenced the abominable sys- tem of bargaining away offices and levying a cruel and slavish tax upon the recipients of pubiic situations, that they wasb their bands of the filth and tbe foul contamination oi for- mer factional affiliations. Let them say the sane to John M Keon and his fa- tion, and to ali the offshoo's from these bargaining bodies. Let old Tammany stand once more before the people in the light of atrue and patriotic political organization, purified by the fery ordeal of many years of | noon decided whether this toan ghall be accepted, It” tribulation under corrupt rulers, and ber records of former victories will bear no com- parison to the brilliant triumphs yet in store for her. Tammany can now call upon the democracy of New York to rally under ber old, time- honored banners. She has spoken for McClet- lan, who is bound to carry the city by a vast majority. She bas, therefore, the power to send a delegation to Congress of her own sclection, which will redeem the city from the humiliation and disgrace the present delegation bave in- flicted upon her. Every consideration bearing upon the city’s good; the interests of her tax- paying citizens; the welfare of ber toiling thou- sands; her separation from swindling and job- biog scbemers and beggazly party combina- tions; ber fafluence in Congress in making laws affecting her local prosperity; her position as the commercial and maritime centre of the con- tinent; in short, ber standing as the metropolis of the nation, and the power she should wivid sg svel in the diecussion and settlement of alt great aational questions, demand a total change ia her Congressional delegation. The Teminany democracy have the power to do this. They are the only democracy of the city, and all zood “citizens will work sboulder to shoulder with them in effecting this great reformation. Now is the time for Tammany to show her pluck, and to demonstrate, revivified and purified, her once tramendous political strength. Will sbe do it? We shall soon see. Genel Grayt Amona Tae- PH NES. If the Presidential election could by any poe- sibility be postponed for one year General Grant would be the only candidate accepiabie to the people throughout the entire North, Why? Because all of our miserable party facks and political factions are beginning to rant’and rave against bim in tbe most furious manner, This is ene of the surest indicasions of merit. It was*by the radicals attacking McClellan that be was first brought premi- se. uently into public noti Now Fremont's radical organ, the Nation, has. opened upos General Grant with the vilest Billingsgate ever ivvented, while copperhead sbeets, like the World and some others, bave begun (o ery out that Grant is a failure; that be bas boon | repulsed everywhere, and that his great cam- paign is virtually at au end. They make this ridiculons noise in full view of the fact, well known to the people, that Grant’s campaign, though a bloody one, is the most disastrous and fata! that ever Lefe} the rebel cause; that he bas steadily driven Lee from the Rapidan, over a score of viciorious battle fields, to the defences of Richmond and Petersburg, in the latter of which cities he now has his iron grip on his adversary’s throat. Let the radicals and copperbeads bowl as much as they piease. Avery short time will decide who is right about General Grant. But, as we said, if the Presidential election could be put off for another year, be would be the sole people’s candidate. Tue Lerrer or Genera, “Bator” Ssarm.— In yeaterday’s prper we published a letter from Major Generai William F. Smith, in which he gives some explanations of a late Washing- ton rumor concerning the President, General Grant and limself, He says, in this note, that at the two interviews which he bad with Gene ral Grant “‘no order or letter of Instructions of any description from the President was pro- duced by General Grant, nor did he state nor intimate that be bad received such an order.” General Smith also denies that there was any indeccrous scene between bimeelf and General Grant. “The interview was of an official char- acter, and was conducted throughout wiihout anger or any exhibition of temper on either side.” We are glad that we have this prompt contradiction from General Smith, whose word we take at once, and whose explanations are fally satisfactory. And we ere aleo glad that the President, amidet ail his weaknesses, did not commit the additioval ect of political de- pravity which was attributed to him. This sete the whole matter at rest.

This troaty was ratified om the 12th aay of June, 1848. Now Peru, a friendly country, calls upon the United States of Columbia, formerly known es new Granada, to pre- vent Spain from transporting ber troops across thie Isthmus for the purpose of making war upon Peru, Colombia, lmowing that she has not the strength to resist or prevent Spain from thus transport- tog her troops, calls upon the government of the United ‘States of America to fulfill the guaranty entered into by the «bove mentioned treaty. Our government finds vo diMoulty im determining that it is our plain duty to per- form the obligations set forth in the treaty whenever a demand shall be made by the proper party; and in the solution of the latter part of this proposition was found tho only doubé or cause for hesitancy. The was roferred to the Attorney General, who, upon consideration and examination of the facts, Onde that New Granada and the United States of Colombia are ove ‘and the seme government; so that wo must send troops and vessels of war, if ucod be, to maintain our treaty and prevent Spaia from transporting troops across the Isthmus. It appears that the treaty Also guarantees the absolute sovereignty of New Gran. ada over the territory named, and the history of the negotiation shows {bat the agreement was made with the expectation of "presently being called upon to send troops for the ostensible purpore of maintaining the treaty, but really with the design of ocoupying and pos- sessing the territory on bebalf of the United States, VHR PROPOSED GERMAN LOAN TO OUR GOVBENMRNT OP ONE THOUSAND MILLIONS. it-was desired by Secretary Fessenden that tho propo- sal received from Hamburg for aloan of ove thousand ‘millions sould be kept quiet for a time; but as it has, notwitbstending, been made public, both here and io New York, there is no impropriety in stating the facts. ‘The terms upor which it is proposed to make this loan arecensidered very advantageous, and it may be stated that they moet with much favor from the government.
