And now the sap was pushed with vigor, and in entire disregard of the enemy: the workers off duty mounting the parapets of their works to take a survey of the ground; until, a little after dark, Sept. 6. the sap was pushed by the south face of the fort, leaving it on their left, crowning the crest of the counterscarp near the flank of the east or sea front, completely masking all the guns in the work, save those on this flank, and removing a row of long pikes which had been planted at the foot of the counterscarp as an impediment to assault.

Price entered south-eastern Missouri by way of Poplar bluffs and Bloomfield; advancing unresisted to Pilot Knob, where he was first withstood Sept. 27. by a brigade, commanded by Gen. Hugh S. Ewing.

Not so the successive victories of Sheridan in the Valley; which did not serve to elect Lincoln and Johnson--that had been already secured — but doubtless contributed to swell their popular and electoral majority. The Autumn Elections opened, as usual, with Vermont; Sept. 6. which gave a slight Republican gain on the vote of 1863 for Governor, Rep.Dem.  1863--Smith,29,613Redfield,11,962 1864--Smith,31,260Redfield,12,283 and on the whole ticket.
