H?AD(JDABTIB8 ARSV Of TUB POTOMAC.
June 20? 6 a. m.?Yesterday whs a very quie*
day along the lines, both armies seeming de-*u
roua of enjoying rest after the severe struggles
of the previous days. Skirmishing and artil
lery firing occurred at intervals, aad the 5th
corps lost probably a hundred men during the
day, their lines being so close to the enemy that
it was dangerous to enter or leave them. An
attack was made on the centre of the Hne about
10 o'clock last night, but was quickly repulsed.
In the charge made by the 5th corps on Friday
evening, the 3d brigade of Crawford's division.
Colt>nel Corroll commanding, took the 39th
Norih Carolina regiment prisoners, numbering
about sixty men, with their officers, flags. Jro
This regiment was on the right of iTcolumn
who were preparing to make a charge on onr
works, but were surprised and astonished at
being ordered to surrender. General Crawford
had two of his aides, wounded, Captain Lutor
and Captain Chester, in the light of that eve
ninfj. The loss of the 5th corps will reach
about two thousand for the past three davs
The 2d corps lost heaviest, the figures being
4,200 since Wednesday. A fiag-of-truce was
sent to the enemy yesterday for the purpose of
getting the dead and wounded between the
works on each side, but it was refused.
The negro who waB tried some days sinoa
1 or an attempt at rape upon a white woman,
at Coal Harbor, has been sentenced to be hung,
and this morning, at 9 a. m., is the time desig
nated to execute him. He was employed in
the quartermaster's department, but has ac
knowledged that he belonged to the 1st colored
regiment and had deserted.
The Richmond Whig of the 16th has the fol
lowing despatch from Beauregard to General
Bragg, dated Petersburg, Jnne 10, 9.40 p. m
"Sir : The enemy made two attacks on our
lines this afternoon. They were repulsed with
loss. We captured about 400 prisoners, in
cluding 11 commissioned officers. They be
long to the 1st brigade of Hancock's corps. All
is quiet at this moment."
It also says that communication was Inter
rupted on the railroad to Petersburg, but that,
alter tearing up a mile and a half of the track
and pulling down three hundred yards of tel
egraph wire, our men were so warmly pressed
that they backed out and retreated from Port
Walthall Junction, after making a stubborn
fight until late in the evening.
"The principal fighting occurred two miles
from Chester, where we repulsed the enemy
and took two lines of their breastworks. We
captured a few prisoners, and some of the en.
emy's dead and wounded fell Into our hands
The enemy's troops were commanded by Gen
Gillmore. They consisted of 2,500 all told
Our force consisted of Pickett's division. Our
whole forces were not very heavy."
The following despatch has been received
from Gen. Les: ,
HeadquartmSj June Excellency
Jeff. Vans :?At 11 o clock last night we took
the breastworks at Howlett's House. Other
portions of the same line were taken
The battery at Howlett's is being re-estab
lisned.
Five vessels have been sunk by the enemy
in Trent's Reach. Ten steamers are within the
Reach, behind the monitors.
Some fighting occurred near Petersburg this
morning, without result.
I have ordered the railroad at Port Walthall
Junction, yesterday destroyed by the enemy,
to be repaired. R. E. Lkjc, General.

[Correspondence Providence Journal.]
U. S. S. Oi?**oaoav j amb^'Rivs*, Virginia,
June 7.?Tine It on fle?t u now M uebor hi a
bay - like expansion of the river called Trent's
Reach. W? are three raiiaa below Fort Dar
ling, <lnd ten below Richmond. The river la
y>ry tertuon*, making a little peninsula of the
land on our rigfet, which la low and marehy,
and overflowed at high stages of the river.
This shore of course cannot be held, and is of
no if it could be. The western bank consists
of a series of rolling hills of considerable eleva
tion, and thickly wooded. A mile is. front of na
the river makes a sharp turn to the right or east,
and lrom this point the bank, litre a broad lawn,
rise* to the top of the hill, w"hieh is crowned
with anew, large, unfinished country mansion.
This house marks the point where the left flank
of Beauregard'* amy rests upon the river. At .
this point they have been endeavoring los'
weeks to erect batteries, which might serve to
annoy ns, as well as to oppose onr ascending
the river. But the emphatic intimation to
>clear out," which always accompanies a 15
inch shell, hfts stopped the dinging, and the
batteries are yet unfinished. We can see none
of the rebel army, for the laad slopes gently
toward the interior, and their lines are hid by
the intervening woods. Immediately on our
lett, and almost abreast of us. the right flank
ol Butler's army is in position. Along and in
lrontof the line of the right of this army the
woods have been felled, and the remainder of
the mile, which separates the two lines, is
broken by ravines, and quite thick with tim
ber. and this intervening distance is occupied
by t,he opposing pickets. So much for the po
sition. Although we hare seen the enemy in
no force of any magnitude, either on or near
the river?that is, on the eastern bank?yet we
knew there are scouting and sknlktng parties
who are vigilantly watching our move
ment*, and from which the rieet has suffered
to a small extent in the /rapture of pickets, of
sailors and marines, who were sent ashore,
and, venturing too far, were surprised, anr
ronnded and captured. From rebel sources we
have been threatened in all sort* of ways, and
by all manner of things; but the threats have
resulted in no recent material manifestations.
From the bed of the river, both above and be
low this point, a large number of torpedoes
have been taken, some made of three-eightn
inch boiler iron, firmly riveted, and containing
large quantities of powder, one having nine
teen hundred pounds. In their exterior geom
etry has been amply illustrated; for there aro
spheres, cubes, and ovals, and polygons, and
all other kinds of gont. Some are anchored in
the river and fired by concussion; some are at
tached to logs and sent floating down the river,
and some, 1 presume, from their exhaustless
store, are awaiting onr moving up the river.
And we are hoping that the river may be suf
ficiently high before long to warrant on* mov
ing still further up. At the foot of Drury 'S
Bluff, which is the&iteof Fort Darling.the three
rebel iron-clads,Virglnia, Richmond and Fred
ericksburg, are lying. The first was built
in the early part of tne war, and was intended
to go to sea with the rebel Merrimac, and ia ar
mored with eight inches of iron, and mounts
eight guns. Her draught is too great to admic
of her maneuvering in the river, except at it*
highest stages. The other, two are lighter
draught and smaller vessels, but more vul^
nerable. We have understood that the ob
structions placed in the river to oppose our
ascending have been removed, to permit Ul?
rebel iron-clads to come down. This, how
ever, is very improbable. Opposite Drury's
bluff is another high bank, called Chapin's
bltlff, and this, too, has be?n and still is,
c^ovued with batteries, but from which, wo
are assured by recent deserters, the guns have
been moved and taken to the defenses of Rich
mond. Above these bluffs there is sufficient
water, until you reach the lower suburbs of
the city, called "Rocketts," where there is
scarcely ever water enough to ?oat vessels of
much draught. As Rocketta is some distance
from the city proper, it is doubtful if the city
could be injured by the guns of the fleet,
though it is an experiment we are extremely
anxious to try.

June 13, 1864.?General: Five generals and
forty-five field officers of the United States
army, all of them prisoners of war, have been
sent to this city for safe keeping. They have
been turned over to Brigadier General Ripley,
commanding the First Military District of tme
Department, who will see that they are pro Ti
ded with commodious quarters in apart of the
city occupied by non-combatants, the majority
of whom are women and children.
It i& proper, however, that I should Inform
you that it is a part of the city which has been
lor many months exposed day and night to the
fire of your guns.

Major General ?am. Jonet, commanding Confed
erate force*, Department of South Carolina, iieor
gia, and Florida .?General?I have to acknowl
edge the receipt this day of your communica
tion of the 13th instant, informing me that five
generals and forty-five field officers of the
United States army, prisoners of war, bare
been turned over by yon to Brigadier General
Ripley, with instructions to see that they are
provided with quarters in a part of the city
occupied by non-combatants, the majority of
which latter, you state, are women and chil
dren. You add that you deem it proper to in
form me that it is a part of the city which has
been for many months exposed to the fife of
our guns.
Many months since, Major General Gilmere,
U. S. A., notified General Beauregard, then
commanding Charleston, that the city would
be bombarded. This notice was given that
non-combatants might be removed, and thus
women and children spared from harm. Gen.
Beauregard, in a communication to General
Gilmore, dated August ?3, 1&63, informed
him that the non-combatant population of
Charleston would be removed with all poasi
ble celerity.
That women and children have been since
retained by you in a part ot the city whicH.
has been for many months exposed to tire, ie a
matter decided by your own sense of .human
ity.
I must, however, protest against your action
in thus placing defenseless prisoners of war
in a position exposed to constant bombardment.
It is an indefensible act of cruelty, and can be
designed only to prevent the continuance of
our fire upon Charleston.
That city is a depot for military supplies. XC
contains not merely arsenals, but also foundries
and factories for the manufacture of munitions
of war. In its ship-yards several armed iron
clads have already been completed, while
others are still upon the stocks in the course of
construction. Its wharves and the banks ol
the river on both sides of the city are lined
with batteries. To destroy these means of
continuing the war is, therefore, our object and
duty.
You seek to defeat this effort, not by means
known to honorable warfare, but by placing
unarmed and helpless prisoners under fire.
I have forwarded your communication to the
President, with the request that he will place
in my custody an equal number of prisoners,
of like grades, to be kept by me in positions ex
posed to the fire of your guns, so long as you
oontinue the course stated in your communi
cation.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, J. G. Foster,
Major General Commanding.

was also captured. This individual nad taken
