The slfge of Petersburg opened in earnest this morning;. At daylight w? sprang the inine and blew up one of their principal batteries in from of Petersburg, containing sixteen guns, and subsequently carried the outer line of woiks by assault. Later. Fortress Mowroe, July 30, p. ra.?Juat as the boat is about leaving for Btltimore your correspondent gathers the following additional particulars: The explosion took place shortly after four o'clock thin morning. It was terrific, and de stroyed one of the enemy's strougeat fortifica tions, which, as before stated, contained six Uen guns. The work was rendered a mass of TttiHQ. Immediately after the explosion the artil lery opened with one simultaneous and con tinuous roar along the entire line of our army. Up to the leaving of the mail boat at 10 o'clock a. m? two other earthworks had been carried, and also the enemy's entire outer line of en trenchments, and the battle was progressing with great fury. Frsm Another Associated Press Corres pondent. Washikotow, July 31.?Information from headquarters of the Array of the Potomac, dated yesterday, says:?The great event so long anticipated, viz., the explosion of the mine under the enemy's fort in front of the Ninth Army Corp?, came off this morning at 4.40. Picket firing has been kept up all night, and in fact, at the time the match was applied, the skirmishers were still engaged on both sides. The volume of dirt thrown up was immeuse, risirg over 300 feet into the air, resembling an immense fountain of dirty water more than anything else. The tth corps at once charged the works, i driving the enemy to their second line and taking a number of prisoners, some of whom were dug out of the dirt badly bruised. These prisoners state that on?v abmt a dozen of their regiment remain out or the entire num- i ber. It was a South Carolina regiment. As soon as tte explosion rook place one hun dred and twenty guns were opened on the enemy along our front, while tbe musketry blazed in one continuous line of fire along the front of the 9th and parts of tbe 5th and 19th corps. The scene was one long to be remem bered by all who witnessed it. But the smoke from the guns soon obscured the view, and the first particulars of tbe success was gleaned fTom those who came in with the prisoners. Tbe prisoners say that most of those in the tort were asleep at the time of the explosion. They state that there were sixteen guns in tne fortification, which of course were buried far out of sight. One prisoner states that they were actively engaged mining under our works, and that in two days more ihey would have b*en ready to blow us up, but we got the start or them. It is hoped here that long ere this despatch reaches yon Petersburg will be in onr posses sion. Tbe Latest. A later despatch, dated 7 a. m , says ^lie ports just in sny that we have possession or the entire first line of the enemy's works, with a large number of prisoners. Onr loss in the charge was, of course, se vere, as our men bad to cross an opsn field to reach the rebel lines. Tbe troops engaged were the 0th corps, with tbe Ifth supporting them. The 2d and 6th being In reserve. Tbe firing is still going on, consisting prin cipally of musketry. Gens Grant and Meade, with nil their corps generals, are at the front w atcbing tbe progress of affairs. Arrival of 400 Prisoners?More Captures R eporled. Fort Mohroe, July 29.?Four hundred pri soners, captured bv tbe 21 corp3 opposite Jorea' Point, on the James river, on Wednes day morning, have arrived, and it is reported that our advancing forces have captured three r* bel brigades, witn arms, equipments, &c e have also captured several guns. The 18th army corps and Sheridau's cavalry are co-operating. The Operations North of the James River. New York, July 31.?The Herald's corres pondent nortb of the river, under date of near Deep Bottom, July 28, says, prieouers report that wheu It was discovered that tbe 2d corps was north of the Jame river, the enemy immediately commenced pouring iu reinforce ments, both from Petersburg and near Rich mond. General I-ee was taken entirely by surprise, and was obliged to use the utmost dispatch to ruth troops to the threatened points , During last night the enemy continued to strengthen the naturally strong position be held, which, in the morniug, were found, together with the strong reinforcements he hart received, too strong to assail. All the roads to Richmond, between tbe James river and White Oak Swamp, were strongly defended also. Last evening M^rrltt's brigade of cavalry drove Hampton's rebel cavalry from an Im portant point on tbe Central road, which he held until iu o'clock pext day, when the rebels came cut with three brigades of infantry, making a steady assault upon Merritt's force who bad dismounted, failing back in good order to their reserve brigade, both delivered a destructive volley and then charged, when the rebels broke and fled in confusion, leaving their dfad and wounded on the field. At the same time Gen. Gregg's division be came engaged at another point, with a supe rior fsree, and the fighting became very severe. Dawes' brigade receiving the largest share, he was obliged to yield a portion or the ground > nd lost one gun. but be soon rallied, checked tbe advance of the rebels, and finally drove them back. Gen. Kautz took possession of Malvern Hill, which had been abandoned by the rebels to Erotect one of tbe Richmond roads. Gen. Gib ons, after tbe repulse of the rebels, relieved tbe cavalry with bis infantry, tkirmishing with the enemy, and at night took up a posi tion. The Herald's leth corps correspondent of the 29th says: An election was held day before yesterday among the iNorth Carolina troops, and, notwithstanding the intimidations of the rebel leader*, nearly half of the votes cast were for Holden for Governor against Gov ernor Vance. One regiment gave a majority for Holden^ The Awault upon Petersburg, and Blow ing Tp of the Rebel Fortifications. INTERESTING DETAILS. (Correspondence Philadelphia Inquirer.} Bkvore Petersburg, July 30, 5* a. m., by Telegraph.?The long looked for, long prepared for and all important movement has arrived. Tbe great ball has opened, and as I pen these lints? while tbe grey and waning dawn is merging into the broad daylight, hundreds of pieces of Grakt s artillery are belching forth a perfect shower of shot and shell into the Rebel | fortifications that interpose a barrier bit ween our force and Petersbure, and ere tbe setting ol tbe sun to-day the problem as to whether I that Rebel stronghold shall still remain in the pot session of the enemy, or become subservi ent to " Yankee sway,*1 will iu all human ! probability be solved. It has been known for some time put that onr sappers and miners have been actively en gaged in mining the Rebel fortifications at two or three points, the most extensive of which were directly opposite General Bnrnslde s(ihe Ninth Corps') entrenchments. Excavauons have been dug beneath these works some twenty-five feet below the surface, and several tons of powder were stored theiv la barrels. Tbe work has boon an exceedingly laborious one and was performed by (principally) Penn sylvania miners belonging to a regiment from that State. The trap was set, the string in hand, and it required but the order of the commanding gen era) to destroy in one moment the result of w?ek?of R? bel labor as well as every living thine in and around and furnish an entering wedge tor our forces to push their way into ^Beyond the eonstn(lading genera) and his lm mediate associates, it is doub'fnl If any on* la the hrmy had the least idea wben tbis mine would be sprung, or the graad attack would b* made. No one seemed to anticipate any moventen , and Gen. Grant's usual reticence came la to play Tbe only circumstance that attracted any attention or excited the least suspicion, was 'be Jaet tbat on Thursday afternoon Gen. Butler waa visited by Gene. Grant and Mea4e, and a prolonged interview and consultation was the resale, which lasted lone alter night tail. Anotber noticeable circumstance consisted In tte tact tbat all the ambulunces at City Point and other places were sent to the front. V e all looked forward to aja indefinite period of inaction, when on Friday night the follow Irg order was sent to the headquarters of the riifl> rent corps, division, and regimental com mit ode re: ?? Sir Yon will cause your command to be in readiners to march to-morrow morning at ton e o'clock, with forty rounds of ball car tridge. Kobe but commissary-sergeants will be permuted to remain in camp." Tbe interpretaiion of tbe above was an easy matter. It meant fight, and tbe nigbt was spent throughout in bnsy preparation for the cor fl'Ct tbat all knew would take place in tbe morning. It was arranged tbat Burnside's corps should open tbe ball by applying the match to the fuse tbat lead to tbe^nme under tbe rebel earth works. Immediately alter which the entire line of batteries should open fire for the pur pose of demolif hing, li possible, the other rebel T<09ubte, and through tbe opening made by the eXplo*inn lue colored troops in Burnside's corps should first charge, and the entire infan try I e massed close at band, ready to make a central assault at any moment. Tbis programme is being faithfully carried out. At three o'clock punctually everyhwly was on the qui vite, and It then became known for tbe first tnat a mine was to be exploded. Speculation was rife as totheeffect that would be produced by tbe ignition underground of such a vast quantity of powder. An anxious suspense ensued, which lasted until fifteen minutes before flv<- o'clock, when a loud noise vcas beard, and a dense volume ot earth, of a ri< b nut-brown color, was thrown about one bnndred feet in tbe air, wben it seemed to bang tor a moment in tbe air, then converting itself into a volume of lava, f-11 into and around tbe cavny it had been forced from like a fountain o! molten lead. Accordtug to the programme, a terrific artil lery fire broke lonb, which shook the ground around. Burneide's batteries were the first to opei. fire. Warren's Filth Corps pieces then spoke, followed by the gnns of Haldy Smith's now Ord's Eighteenth Corps. Tbe noise wa? dealening. Tbe rebel batte ries replied vigorously, and by a little after six o'clock, tbe entire line on either side was enveloped In a cloud of smoke. An immense number of shells burst in all directions, many of tbem high in the air, a flash of light and a large ball of white smoke indicating the place: whence they exploded. Tbe rebels seem to have been taken com pletely by surprise, both witb regard to tne explosion and the attack immediately follow ing it. Tb<?y did not reply wtth vigor at first, but lost no time in getting "their house in or der." It will be remembered that Hancock's corps, the Second, left the front on Wednesday night, and atter crossing the James, above Bermuda Hundred, met with a rebel force at Malvern , Hill, captured four pieces of artillery taken | from our forces some time since, and quite a nrmb?-r of prisoners. It was thonght by the uninitiated that im portant results might transpire lrom a detach ment of Hancock's Corps from the army and its reerossmg of the James River, particularly a? it lett shortly after Sheridan's cavalry bad gone over tbe same road. Subsequent events have proved that the movement which cansed so much speculation was simpiy a diversion to bambojzle the en emy; tor after making tbe capture spoken of, ana alter a considerable rebel force had been despatched from before Petersburg to watch Hancock's movements, tbnsgreatly weakening tbeir lines, tbat General quietly slipped bacu to tbe Army of tne Potomac. I understand tbat Anderson'6 and Heath's divisions were detached from before Peters burg and sent to Richmond to look after Han cock, leaving A. P. Hill's corps within the de fenses at Petert-burg. Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm of the it en. The whole line of artillery, comprising, pienably, two hundred guns, are coustautly st-ndit'g forth a Bbeet of flame, with the ac companiment of shot, shell, etc.; and tho bu re mortals, recently placed in position at dif lerent points, are despatching thfir terrible misf-iles of destruction into the devoted rebel works. , Tbe assault thns far has been confined alon? Burnside's line. That is the salt^nt point. The main portion of tbe infantry of the differ ent corps are massed in his immediate rear, and but enough left ot tbem along the line of batteries to support tbe same in case of an emergency. So incessant bas been the artillery firing that but little can be seen between the respective 01 posing forces in consequence of the dense smoke. At the present time, seven o'clock, the firing has somewhat moderated, and the wounded are being brought to the rear. From the number already arrived, after so short a period of fight ing, 1 am of opinion thai the loss on both sides will be heavy. Later News. Quabter Before Eight O'clock.?'The cannonading, although not by any means dis continued, Ie not as heavy as a half hour ago, but tbe rapid and beretotore almost deafening discharge of musketry indicates tbata vigorous assault is in progress. Except at tbe first day's fight in the battle of the Wilderness, 1 have never witnessed more rapid or destructive discharges of small arms. It mainly proceeds from the direction ot Burn side's line, and although the smoke hides mucb of the scene, 1 doubt not tbat the rebels expe rience with Roderick l?bu, if they have any manhood in tbem, ??the stern joy which war iiors feel in foemen worthy of their steel." Still Later. Eight O'Clock a. M ?The artillery has again broken out witn redoubled furj. A sec ond does not elapse between each discharge of tbe beavy field pieces. It is mainly from the lett, and a spirited reply is elicited lrom the rebels. Half-pa6T Eight A. M.?Gen. Sheridan's entire cavalry corps can now be seen slowly but steadily winding their way to the front from the direction of City Point. The long line of raiders, reaching over seve ral miles of ground, present a most imposing spectacle as they advance with the peculiar abandon peculiar to our cavalry to take a po tition, ready at a moments notice to pounce upon tbe enemy wben the opportune moment shall arrive. Accompanying th^m are several batteries of flying artillery, which will shortly be engaged I learn tbat the portion of the rebel works that underwent the ordeal of a "blowing dp," were occupied by a South Carolina regiment. A portion of tbe men were engaged In prepar ing breakfast, but ere the coveted moroel had touched tbeir lips they were sent rom time to eternity. But tew escaped. General Grant left his headquarters at Oity Point at an early hour this morning, and is now at the front in company w.th Gen.

The following information is derived from semi official quarters : General Averill has driven the rebel foroe*. under the command of Jobuson and MeOana lin, out of Chambersburr, and is following tbtm westward towards Loudon, in Franklin county. Most of Chambersburg is said to ba in ashea, and three thousand people thereby rendered houseless. A raid towards Wheeling is intended by Breckinridge, who relies upon returning by tfie wry of tbe Kanawah Valley. In the mean time, Longstreet is to threaten Washington, while General Early holds tuo Valley.

Further Particulars Harrisbcro, July 31 ? General McOaut land was In command of the rebel troops when tbey burned Chamhersburg He is a desperate and ferocious freebooter, ready at any time to v o'ttte the usages of bono.-able warfare, in order to gratify bis dt*rk and malignant pas sion?. After he had tahen lormal po session of tbe town he made a proclamation demanding ? 100,Ott ia gold. It was, of course, impossible to comply with such a demand?a demand, no dciib', made in confident expectation of its failure. and as sure of its affording a pretekt ts extcuie the premeditated plan for destroyior Chambersburg. The valuable portion of the merchandize having been removed, added to thj* and disappointment of the rebels, and whrn thus inspired, the order was issued to me the court-house, the town hill, and bank buildings. A strong breeze prevailing, com municated tLe llames to the surrounding build* i"gs and psrti^s of soldiery having sacked *rVra^I drug aud chemical stores, had manu factured a qnantify of tnrpentine balls, which they ignited and threw in all directions^thus creating as many different Area in different localities, wbkb soon united in one general c? nflagration.

The crackling and roarlngof the flames aB they leaped from house to house the shrieks of terrified women, and p^Tc silicon and soflerlng children; piMfnl appeals of the old and helpless were heard above the ncise of ihe conilaeration. but all to no avail 1 be citizens bad, without protesting, submitted" to the plundering of the stores, and onlv ao pealed to the mercy of the foe, but nothing could appease the butcher and incendiary Met an >-iand. Two hundred and sixty-five of the most.valuable and promlneut public aud private buildings were destroyed.

Instantly every freebooter was in the saddle, and took the road huriiedly to St. Thomas, with Gen I. Porsnit. No intelligence has reached the city concerning the direct effect of Averill s attack. It is believed, however, that be succeeded in punishing McUaoslaud very severely. * A train heavily laden witn commissary stores was despatched from this city this morning for the vicinity of Chambersburg, in ordfr to relieve the present wants 01 tbe houseless women and children of that town who now crowd thtf woods aud fields of th? suburbs. The Pnr?uit ef the Raiders When Gen Averill reached Chambersburr the llames bad obtained a such a headway as to render it impossible for bis men to stay there. The word ??onward"' ran along his lines, and the rebels hnrried over the St. Thomas road toward McConnellsburg, but tbe tear of their retreating column conld not fall to distinguish tbe approach of A verill, so they were prevented from doing any deeds of vi olence. -J A verill came thnndering after them, enter ing at one side of MeConueilsbnrg while the invaders left at tbe other.
