That England has been pre-eminently

ment iinoe the beginning of the war, is
well understood. The effeot ot t, similar

Germany, that the hotels are shot in their

no traveling accommodations can be ro

not muoh better disposed toward England.
The general feeling among them is that if
C..U..I had iven them her sympathy, by
which they mean material aid, they eoald

On the whole, there was probably

To General Dix :
Diepatohea from City Point at 4:30 this
eTening, report no fighting to-day. More-
merits are in progress, however, which are
not now proper for publication.
The Richmond papers report an attaok
opon .Lynchburg; bj Ueneral Hunter
on Saturday, and that he was repulsed.
It is believed, however, that there was
nothing more than a reoonnoii&nce and
that having ascertained the plaoe to be
strongly defended, General Banter with
drew and is operating on the enemy's com.
tmtoatlon at other points.
A dispatch from General Sherman, dated
yesterday evening at 8 30, states that it
has rained almsst incessantly, in spite of
whioh, oar lines have been pressed for-
ward steadily and that an Important posi
tion has been gained by General Howard.
1a. eneaaj made a desperate attempt to
re-take this position last night, making
seven distinct assaults on Whitaker's
brigade of Stank y's division, and losing
not less than 700 or 800 men. Two hun
dred killed were left on Whitaker's front
The assault was followed by a heavy
fire of artillery, nnder which the position
was fortified and is now safe. Our cavalry
is across Noonday Creek en our left and
one brigade of the 23d Corpi Is aeross
Noses Creek on the right, bat the rebel
left is behind a swamp, and the rains pre
rsnt sny advance. The lighting has been
quite severe at all points, the enemy re
isting stubbornly and attempting the of
fensive whenever he can.
Geneial Bigel reports from Martinsburg
to-day that there is no truth in the elate
ment of the Philadelphia Inquirer, of the
21st, in relation to a raid by Moseby'
Winchester is not occupied by the enemy,
nor are the telegraph wires oat between

No military intelligence from any other

Department.

First Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June 22—9 P. M.
The latest reports from the Army of the
Potomac are under date of headquarters,
June 21st, Every thing was quiet along
the lines, except that the rebels have de
veloped new batteries of heavy rifled guns
across the App tomax, with whioh they
shelled General Wright's headquarters for
thirty minutes j the General and staff es
caped injury, but two non-eommisaioned
officers and one private were killed inst-
antlv br the expUeion of a shell. Ws
opened three batteries on those guns and
soon saoeeeded in silencisg them. It is
believed here, from information obtained
from prisoners and deserters, that nine
brigades of E well's corps have gone to op
pose Hunter.
Petersburg papers of the 18th complain
bitterly. Our batteries are shelling the
town without any warning having been
given the inhabitants, among whom there
is great terror.
An article copied from the Charleston
Meroury of last Tuesday says :
For the first time during several weeks
there was an Intermission of bombard
ment last Monday. This was doubtless
owing to bad weather. Daring Sunday
night seven shells were thrown into the
city. The enemy's troops seemed actively
engaged in repairing damages whioh rains
have caused their works.
Our Seeeseionville correspondent writes
us from that post that visitors from the
Yankee batteries, la the shape of shells,
are still inconveniently plentiful. On
Sunday, they threw 11 shells from Light
House Ialet, and 10 from Long Island.
Yesterday they threw 21 from the former
and 23 from the latter. Our batteries re
sponded as usual.
For some time past it has been known
that a batch of Yankee prisoners compri
sing some of the highest In rank now
onr hands, were soon to be brought hither
to share the pleasures of the bombardment.
They accordingly arrived 9a Honda. The
following are their names :
Bank Brigadier Generals Seymour,
Wessels, Bcammon, Shalerand Heckman.

Second Dispatch
WASHINGTON, June 22—11 P. M.
' The Richmond Enquirer of the 18.h,
gives the following version of the late
fighting before Petersburg:
The interruption of communication with
Petersburg by the advanee of the enemy
upon the railroad on Thursday from Bsr
maJa Hundred, shut us off from any posi
tive intelligence oonoerning events before
Petersburg on that day. .
The Enquirer has the following from
the Petersburg Ei press, which gives the
following rtbelaooount of the engagement
on Thursday. Cannonading commenced
on the City Point Road at an
rly hour in the morning, and
was followed by heavy skirmish
ing which continued during the forenoon.
In the afternoon a furious assault was
made on General Hoke's front, whose divi.
sion occupied a position faoing batteries
from 0 to 12 inoluaive, and constituting a
most important position. Enemy came up
in three lines of battle, and made three
charges, but were eaeh time repulsed by a
heavy fire, which biased from onr line,
and sent the vandals back in oonfusion.
Onr men occupied entrenchments, the ene
my had hastily threwn up daring Wednes
day night in the vicinity of Calvary.
Farm House There was heavy firing
during the greater portion of the day but
late in the afternoon it beet me quite se
vere, the enemy attempting to carry works
by aasault. This portion of the line was
occupied' in the ' morning by
our militia forces where we regret to hear
several severe casualties occurred. As
soon as regular troops 00 aid be brought np
and placed ia position the militia were
relieved and General Bashrod Johnson's
division re-ocanpled the breastworks along
with Georgia light artillery and other bat
teries. Here asta ed above the work was
quite hot. In too afternoon the enemy,
with two divisions of fresh troops, made a
charge but were handsomely repulsed. In
the last chargs the enemy came
within hnndred yards of our fortifioations,
but the fire was so terrifio that thny halted,
broke ranks and retreated in great eon
fueion, seeking shelter in a ravine about
a hnndred yards from our lines. Here, a
large portion of a Yanke; brigade being
exposed to an enfilading eross-fire from
enr gtin, and not daring to show their
beads for fear of being toppled over by onr
muiketeers, surrendered to the 61th
Georgia Regiment Thess prisoners num
ber over 400 men ; they say they were
fearfully eut np. The Enquirer gives
quite a list of easualities, among them is
Captain Pegram, son of the rebel General.
The Adjutant-General has just given an
important decision, whioh will answer
many enquiries daily mads throughout
the country. The principle involved is
this: No information must be given by
any offioer in the United States eervioe to
any person under,, any oircumstanoes
which can be made a basis of claim
against the Government for pay, pension,
or other allowances, except It be given as
regulations prescribed by the Adjutant
General or some proper officer of the
Treasury or Revenue Bareau.
information of the sick and wounded
officers and men may be freely given to
any one to allay the anxiety of friends.
Tbe bare faot of death may be communiea
ted to relatives, but not dates or any
ciroumstanoes which would be required to
be asked in prosecuting claims. Parlies
interested must satisfactorily account to
the offioer of the Treasury that .they have
legal olaimants, and then this officer will
obtain and give to these officers all the
offioial evidence necessary to perfeot it
The rules are to guard the government as
well as lawful olaimants against fraud.
Brigadisr General Julius White has been
ordered lo duty on the army of the Poto
mac, and will probably be assigned to
division In Burnside's corps.

FROM NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, June 22.
The Commercial s money article says
the gold market is in a most excited con
dition. The suppression of pnblio eompe
tition.effeotei bv the sold bill, has thrown
trade directly into the hands or spolia
tors, and they now make their own prices
- -.. . .
and have made ad UMtum use or their pre
rogative. It was well known that a large
short interest was compelled to settle
its contracts for the delivery of gold during
to-day and to morrow. The principal hoi
ders therefore h.ld back for a large ad'
vanee.
The pressure of "shorts" only increased
the quotations of holders, and the process
continued, until at noon the brokers
were paying 226, and celling at zSo. The
effect of this state of affairs has been to en-
tirelt suspend operations in foreign ex
ohange : drawers do not know what to
ask, and refuse to give any quotations.
One large firm in Nassau street is asking
16 dollars to the pound sterling : at sucn
rates there ean te no offer. At 12:30 p.
gold took a downward turn ; a large lot
was thrown upon the market at 2. SO.
which put down the prion suddenly about
16 per cent: at 2:30 brokers were buying
at 210. and selling at 220 : at 8:30 P. M. at
about 208. :
At a meeting of the Bankers and Brokers
to-day a committee was appointed to visit
Washington to endeavour to secure tne
repeal or modification of the gold bill.
Up to 2 p-11 , to day no deoision had been
arrived at on the euestion of an attempt to

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
NEW YORK, June 22.
A Newburn, North Carolina letter dated
June 18 Ji says:
The United States Steam Transport
John Earn, Captain Swallman has arrived
here from Beaufort which place she left
on the morning of the 15 h inst
The capiain reported having 03 his way
taken off 14 of the crew of the gunboat
Lavander, which ran on Cape Lookout
Shoals on the night ot the 11th inst Cap
tain Swallman's attention was first at
tracted by a signal from the wreck, and
upon nearing it he found the men clinging
to a small portion of the hull which was
just out of water.' There was a heavy sea
running which made it almost
impossible to re'ieve the sufferers.
But a small boat was moored near by,
the Captain and a ehosen crew on ap
proaching the wreck, the poor iellowj mad
with hunger and thirst rushed into the
boat which immediately capsiied, throw
ing the wholo party into the breaker'. It
was then sometime before all got back to
the corvette again. Capt Swallman then
sprang on the boat which he succeeded in
righting, and after a time got her bailed
out and went back to the Farren.
He then continued to run out a
line from the Farren to
the wreck by which means, after much
difficulty, all were brought on board.
Some ef the men were bruised in a fear
ful manner, and were so muoh exhausted
as to be perfectly insensible, having been
on the wreck four days aud niguts with
out food. Captain Gleason, of the Laven
der, reports having run on the shoal at 11
o'clock on the night of f-e 11th, in a
storm.
The Lavender was a new boat this be
ing her first trip. She was built at Phil
adelphia, from which port she sailed a few
days before for the blockadeing squadron
off Charleston where she was to have been
used as a trader. When she left Philadel
phia, her crew consisted of 28, all told,
nine of whom were either drowned or died
of exposure. The Farren remained some
time to try and save something from her
t ut in two hours it went to pieces. Upon
arrival of the steamer the survivors were
sent to the Naval Hospital where they will
be cared for.
Captain Gleason of the Lavander begs
to return his sincere thanks to Captain S.,
for his gallant and timely aid in rescuing
himself and crew from this petilous situa
tion and also to all ths officers
of the stecmer for their kind
attention to them while on board.

I no Times to-day has an editorial on

England could not reasonably make it,

The New York World's speoicl Washing
tondlspatoh of the 21st MTa:
Intelligence from the front to
yestsrday noon is at hand. It is under
stood that Sheridan has already gone on
another raid. Bunday night there was
considerable skirmishing and heavy artil
lery firing, but nothing of importance re
salted.
The demand for the surrender of Peters
burg has been made and refused, and our
artillery have already sneued tne place,
which is nearly deserted py tne inaaoit
ants.
The Tribune's Washington special dis-
natsh savr.
Later information from the army U that
all waa ouiet en Bunday night with the
exception of firing at intervals along the
ne. An attack was made on onr center.
whioh was qniokly repulsed.
The rebels occupy a high eminence near
tne town, and it would be useless to raeri
fire life to attempt to take the town, as the
rebels, nnless dislodged, wonld be able to
throw shells in ths midst of any force oc
cupying the town. The position we hold
is a very embarrassing one to the rebels as
they admit
The Times' special, from near Pelersburs;
the 19th says:
The country may look for a demonstra
tion shortly which will greatly ohanre the
aspect of affairs at this point as prelimin
ary to other events of perhaps greater im
portance. The bombardment of Peters
burg is set down for the opening step in
the ensuing week's operations. Birnev has
his artillery ia excellent positions at a
ante of from 1,200 to 1,400 yards from
the heart of the city, and at daylight to-
moriow the shelling will commence, pro
vided the plaoe is not previously surren
dered by evacuation or negotiation, the
rormer of which will only be likely to oc
cur. The arrival of Hunter with his force at
the White House, together with Sheridan,
en-route to this plaoe to operate is our
vicinity, has been officially announoed
this evening.
Urant has determined to Increase rather
than diminish his force at this point
this evening itirney, commanding Han-
oock's corps, extended his lines so far as to
occupy the ground on which our wounded
of yesterday's charge had since lain.
lhe Herald's correspondent at City
Point 19th, says :
News from rebel sources reports that
E well's corps had been sent against Hun
ter, with the intention of capture,
lhe Petersburg Danville Road is the
only communication South left and the
width of track differs fro"u all others whioh
will prevent the withdrawal of tbe rolling
stock. This road ean be easily destroyed
from Petersburg, so the Rebel Govern
ment will f.el that Richmond is held by a
very elight tenure. The loss of Peters
burg is a virtual surrender of Richmond.
Let the timid be assured that the glori
ous campaign of Yiaksbnrg will fine a par
allel here. '
Lee's announoed viotory at Howlett was
an attack on Foster's division, Butler's
force, the 17tb. Field's and Picketf s di
visions Longstreet's corps, charged Fos
ter s line, driving his left and center back,
though repulsed on every ether position.
Subsequently part of the original line was
lost but regainod. To-day the attack waa
renewed with infaktry and artillery. A
portion of our oenter was driven back, an
advanoe ordered and the enemy were
driven. So we now hold oar line tri
umphantly.
Tne 18th corps correspondent nnder date
of the 19th says: '
Smith s command, except Marlindals s
diviscn, are all encamped in the neighbor
hood or rort YValltaL
Hancock's corps was repulsed by the
enemy yesterday,whsn Burnsids advanced
and succeeded in driving them from
their position. To avoid flanking they
abandoned the entire line and Hancock
oooapied it.
The Herald s correspondent with Hunter
under date of ths 11th says :
lhe line of railroad between Charlotte.
ville and Lynchburg is destroyed effectu
ally for two miles, thus catting in two the
rebel forces at these two plaoes.
lhe Herald s James River correspondent
under date of the 20th a;. : J
The rebels were shelled out of their po
sition at Malvern Hill by the gunboat
Eutew, aad located themselves out of
range.
Tnree rebel rams came down nearly to
Dutoh Gap and were fired on by our mon
itors. The rams steamed slowly back.
Grant and Butler were on the Agawam,
having an interview with Admiral Lee,
and witnessed the firing.
The Kichmond Sentinel says or Hunter e
operations, that after destroying a part of
the Charlottesville railroad, they struck
the railroad to Peters ourg near Concord
Depot and cut the telegraph, lhe pur
pose of isolating Lynohburg, the Sentinel
says, is a failure, owing to Sheridan not

Counterfeit Treasury Notes.

are cautioned against receiving or pasting

"As counterfeiters art obliged to wet- ,

But there remains another party tho
Demoirats; they being also divided at

Democrats, t ut who would all bo Peace
Democrats in the event supposed that is,
in the event of a total failure of the Fed
eral oampaign of 1864. Now the very la
test intelligence brought no from that
conn try by a epeoiel channel, informs na
of these two further facts ; that ths popular
mind beoomee at.oaoe violently sgitated,
on the announcement of this Ba-imora
nomination ; and that in Maryland, ee
pecially, disturbance was appreheadred.
In fact too Democrats of the North, who
have waited four years, not too patiently,
trusting to regain the power and profit
which they but lately held to be a Demo
cratic inheritance, must naturally be pro
voked beyond endurance at this audacious
attempt of Lincoln and Seward to rids
roughshod over them four years more.
We leara that the Democrats are now uni
versally turning their thoughts to Frank
lin Pierce and the Con section t Seymour
as their nominee fer President and Vioe
President. To give them the least ohanoo
of electing those two advocates of peace,
Grant must be defeated, the invasion must
collapse and die out and ths n i nama
of war ssust become a word of horror, at
