A- M.), are of the most favorable •character, and indicate that the struggle on which the fate of Richmond hangs cannot be Mar distant. Our Indianapolis special dispatch gives a ruble proof of the temper that possesses the Army of the Potomac under the leadership of Grant. It Is not they who are changed. These brave fellows would have followed him ns gladly as now. We publish a highly Interesting review ol the situation in Georgia, by dispatches and correspondence, ah |g going, on well, uufl the rebellion is. being subjected to a very •crushing pressure at both ends. With onr arms victorious at Atlanta and Richmond, %ht last ditch cannot too soon be looked for. Havana correspondence gives more in de tail than was before reported, the capture of Montl-Christi by the Spanish troops. The Attack took place on the 17th. The fight was n.bardone, and the victory, well disputed, beneath a blistering son, was not achieved without some loss; the Spaniards haring a hundred men killed or wounded. - The assault was well seconded by the ships of the squad xun. The town, with the forts andintrench rnents, were.dcfendtd by a force of upward of S,OOO men, with thirteen pieces of ord iiance. Monte-Cristi was considered by the insurgents to be their principal stronghold, rnd hence the importance attached to its ■capture. The Portland (Maine) Advertiser eajs that it 22 rumored that a potent reason with the Government for Ills surrender to the Spanish authorities lies In the fact that the Spanish Government had intimated that if the United Mates authorities would arrest and deliver Cul. Argucllcs into their bands, they in tom would surrender Appleton Oaksmlth, whose conviction in the Federal Courts as a slaver, and his subsequent escape from the Boston jail to Cuba, are still fresh in the public mind. Jf this be true, Oaksmitb, who has been liv ing in affluence in Cuba, may find himself a prisoner ere this, ahd ready to be delivered to this Government. 1 A correspondent of the New York Tima, with Gen. Butler’s army, says the excitement of skirmishing seems to become a muni* with some of the soldiers. A man named Parker, of the!4BthNew Yorkrcglment, who was afflicted with this singular mama, got many yards in advance of the other skirmish ers, when he saw a grayback, whose enthusi asm in the same gentle direction must have been equal to his own. Grayback saw Par ser also. They simultaneously raised their pieces and fired, and both fell dead, shot in the forehead. Parker’s body was bronglit .away. One of the letters captured in the rebel mull lately intercepted in Maryland, was from an officer in Lee’s army. It was written just before Grant commenced hie ad vance, and says: “ We a'l look forward to a short, sharp, sanguin ary, but decisive campaign, now about to be open ed. The result wc do not doubt. Grant wiQ meet Ihe-samc late that Seymour met in Florida, Sher-' man In MWlavippl, and Banks In Louisiana. As for the Yankee neisro troops, they will always meet the fate they have met whenever they have cncruuit-redour lorccs. ’Extermination’ is the war cry in charging negro troops.” It seems to be decided upon to pnt upon the market, for 6ale to the highest bidder, $75,000,000, or thereabouts, of the six per cent bonds, running until 18S1, interest and principal pa) able In gold. These bonds will probably bring 112, They will sell readily, and will prove a belter way to raise money, pending the adoption of the new tax bIU, than issuing currency. ■We give In onr city column the proceed logs cud new Board of Directors chosen at the annual meeting of the Galena & Chicago Uniou Railroad Company, in this city yes terday. It is scarcely a secret that this is preparatory to on important railroad change and consolidation.. another step of which will be the annual meeting ot the Chicago and North Western Railroad Com pany to-day, immediately upon which it is said these important corporations are to be consolidated into one to be called The Nobth westehn Railway, which, from its grasp and scope will deserve that the prefix “ The' be made very emphatic. Its Westward line as striking rapidly through lowa to the race across the continent, while t w Northward line is to tap and lay bold o* the Tist miner it] wealth of the Lake go-urior region. It is -doubtless a little too - gratulations, but I* iß impossible not to dis cern the wealth ot the nuptials, as neither party “ mnrr*- 8 P oor ‘” “ Money wore go” is what the wags town were saying yesterday, in wiew the nwlol nytose on Mayor Sherman, TQ.iti: in a War Democratic organ. The Cop* po bcads will begin to get very sore on this subject by and by. Say ** Horae Railroad” fo iny one of them, and hear him growl. On a horse railroad (Wabash) the late Copper* head Legislature had their awful smash up, and now Hove-in Sherman comes to grief by a similar route of travel. The prosperous village of Glenns Falls, New York, boe been laid in ruins by a most ■devastating conflagration. The Cincinnati Enquirer copies approving ly the following from a letter H accredits to n resident of that city now travelling In Ea rope. A very happy proof of the loyalty of both: "Eog'and has more heart, soul and bravery, than any people I have met, with the single excep tion of the people the Yankee wishes to extermin ate. At the commencement of this war. the peo ple of England were almost unanimously in favor •ot the North. The scales have gradually lallen from their eyes, and they see the Yankee In all his naked deformity— no honesty In his abolition sen timent. or Christian professions. In ail my travels, 2 have failedto meet one single instance, where an Englii-bman is a well-wisher of the North in thla struggle. It is common for them to' call the Yan kee a savage and a lirnto—scarce *v worthy ofbeing cala-d more-than 44 half civilized.” Some ol the Cops about town were in great pice yesterday over the Cleveland fiasco •of Tuesday, and declared that Fremont would divide the Republican party, as he parte his hair—‘‘in the middle.” The older and more sagacious of tbe serpent brood do jiot ece it in that light They declare it was 4i mistake to nominate at Cleveland, thatthe thing ought to have been held off, lor bj Marticg too suddenly the traces have broken, the king bolt come out, and the whole thing made a failure. Think of bolting a ticket with John Cochrane to catch radical men. "We doubt if It will even catch Fremont THE “ ORNAMENTAL JAPANNEB” AT WORK. The Chicago organ of treason is in rap tures over Uie Cleveland ticket. ,8o warm U its admiration that we look to see it hoist Fremont and Cochrane's names mast head, and to call on the Copperhead 4th of -July Convention to adopt tbe ticket. Its .yesterday morning's issue contains the fol lowing, double leaded, with a job type head line; “The Great £ text.—The great event which 'webave to announce thte morning is the action of tl»e Cleveland Convention yesterday, by which the 3ei>nbUcau party it split tnroo-h the middle, the acceding hair forming a new party and taking a new name, with F remont and Cochrane as Its can* •Cidatca lor President ana Vice President ” TOe first question which arises in every mind ss, which will take the lead as the stronger part?— the new, fresh, vigorous, bold, deQant, onunoken. tyranny-hating organization, with the Pathfinder ■as Its leader, or the old, edete, corropt, plunder gorged, dvii-Jlberiy invading, country destroyin'* Vnmp of the Republican organization, with Lincoln asinde, We tsney that even now there can be no doubt on that score. Vigor will distance decrepi tude in that race.” After such an endorsement as the above, •can the secession concern do otherwise than support the Cleveland ticket? The “split -through the middle of the Republican party" •consists of a small sliver or whitltag taken -from the Lincoln rail. The malcontents will feel highly flattered 'with the more than parental solicitude evinced hy the minions of Jcfll Davis for •their ticket. Such tenderness and affection should be reciprocated by gratitude and pride. If this courtship continues, we shall not be surprised to learn that the Cope, at their National Convention, have amalgama ted with the Clevelanders.

A company of Ohio delegates will leave here to morrow. and others will follow on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It seems to be generally conceded that the Ohio delegatee will present tbe name of Ex-Gov. Dennison for President of the Convention, which will so doubt give success to the movement. VOLUME XVII.

Wan Depabtcent, WAsntKarox, I June 1,1:04. j To Major General Dix: Wc have nothing-front General Grant later than yesterday, at six o'clock In the morning. An unofficial dispatch, received at four this morning, dated yesterday at Kingston, Georgia, reports that Major Hopkins, of General Stone man's staff, came from the front this afternoon, and says the rebels attacked at 739 this morning, and at 10 o'clock the affair was over. The enemy w as repulsed and our line pushed to the railroad at Marietta. To accomplish this object had bees for several days the purpose of General Sherman's move ments. Additional forces are reaching M”, and ample fnpplies. (higned) E. M, Stanton. Fortress Monroe, May 31, > via Washington. June 1. f The steamer C. W. Thomas with a hearer of dis patches from Gen. Grant, has arrived from White House, on the Pamnnkey, A portion of Grant's forces arrived at Mechanics* ville yesterday morning, and bad not encountered tbe enemy's force up to that time. Gen. Sheridan's cavalry bad several severe skir mishes with the enemy, and completely routed them. Heavy cannonading was heard yesterday in the direction of Mcchanlcsvllle. The highest hopes are entertained by those competent to judge of tne situation. THE TEMPER OF THE ARMY. (Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.) Isuianatolib, June 1,1864. Captain Logan, of the 20th Indiana, is in town, having participated in the desperate hollies of Grant's army and been severely wounded in the bead. He bring* interesting accounts of the vim of the men. When they first crossed the Bapldan, the men felt gloomy. They acknowledged Grant's bravery and strategy in Ms Western battles and capture of Vicksburg, hut said he had never fought Lee. After tbe first two days' fight, the whole feeling of the Army of- the Potomac changed. They felt as If a General was leading them. It was not the et tbnslasm that the honeyed words and brilliant staff of McClellan brought oat after he had fonght a halting battle, but the sincere convic tion of sensible men that an earnest man, who would not halt, led them. Tbe determination that the men now show is like the faith of Cromwell's Ironsides. They move along with jaunty tread, determined to rout Lee and bis army and take Richmond. Fortress Monroe, May 81, via New York, Jcne I.— General Grant's communications with tbe White House are complete, -an ail works well. A messenger from General Grant reports that on Monday morning onr army reached Mechanicsvifle with but little opposition. Sber dan had routed the enemy's cavalry at all points and captured many prisoners. Heavy rapTioffSrtfag has been heard In the direc tion of Mcchanlcsvllle. The New York ffcra 7 <Pt diapatdi from Edin burg, Shenandoah Valley, aays: A reconnoiasanco in force found the enemy 4,000 strong In front of ns. WehavebsdverylittleekinnlßhiDguptothis time. The UtralTt 9th Army Corps dispatch says: Ledhe’e reconnolssance on Tuesday evening was of incalculable benefit. It misled the rebels into the belletthat we intended to cut their army in two and oblige them to concentrate in the center, so that onr right and left obtained advantageous positions. The Tribune's dispatch from Hunter’s army says: One of our wagon trains was fired on last Tuesday by guerrillas. One of the guard was wounded. General Hunter thereupon ordered the bouses of two prominent secessionists burned, which was done as a warning. Washikct»k, Msy SL-Several transports left here this morning for the White House, on the Pamnnky river. [By Mail.]' Fortress Hoeeoz, Msy Bi—4 p. m. The steamer Thoe. PoweU, has J nat arrived from Bermuda Hundreds. All was quiet with Butler’s forces. The following order has been issued by Gen. Butler: In accordance with orders from the War De partment, and for eanltary'seasons, no bodies will beolsmtered in this Department until the 4th of October. By order of Mai. Gen. Berm. Wafuxkotox, Kay 80 —The fortifications around Washington were stripped of their veteran garrl- sons to reinforce Gen. Grant, and it is thought necessary to contract the lines. The infantry troops upon the outer defences la Virginia hare been withdrawn to fortifications nearer the city, and all the troops drawn in from the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, which is now held onlr to Springfield Station, nine miles from Alexandria. The earthworks - and blockhouses at Fairfax Court-House and beyond were left 6 tan dine, there being no apprehension of any large force of rebels taking possession of them, though both Mosby and Imbodcn are said to be in the 801 l Ron Moon tains, preparing for mlachlet A brigade of oar cavalry, under Col. Lowell, of the 3d Massachu setts, Is stationed at Vienna, and will keep op a strict watch of the enemy in the country outside oor lines. Hxadquabtxbs nr the Fzxls, May 27.—“A1l quiet along the lines” has often been written of other armies, and must be repeated of this one to day. But few shots have been fired, and the situ ation remains unchanged. About-noon Gens. Smith and Gilmore visited the headquarters of Gen. Butler, with whom they remained about an hour. In the hospitals at Petersburg there are at pres ent 8,040 of Beauregard’s rebel troops lying dis abled. Onr losses at the battle of Palmer’s Creek and other smaller engagements amount to about 3.0C0, including both killed and wound ed. About 8,400 wounded have been sent to Fortress Monroe; but this number includes all the wounded of Gen. Kautz’s and -herldaa’s com mands, and also the rebel wounded brought in by Ges. Sheridan. These figures may be reuod on as correct in every respect. Justice to Gen. Butler requires that a statement made in regard to the recent advance of this army bhonld be corrected. WhenVjur forces were in sight ofFortDarlinglthaabeen reported that General Gllhnore advised General Butler to Intrench his troops to guard against a sortie from the garrison. This statement is without foundation, as no such advice was given by General Qlllmore. - Washington, May SL—A scorning party sent out from Alexandria by Provost Marshal Wells, under command of Capt. Lusk, returned on Satur day. The party proceeded as far as Dumfries, on Qunntlco Creek, where they captured seventeen notorious guerillas and blockade runners, routed a party of guerillas, and destroyed a large quantity of stores, consisting in part of floor, coffee, bacon, salt, and several hundred pairs of boots ana shoes The party returned without the loss o! a man. FROM SBEBJUK’S lUMF. TboMovcment on Atlanta Progressing Favorably—incidents of the Advance. Cincinnati, done I.—A special to the Telegraph siys: “News received direct from Kingston, Ga., by telegraph, says Sherman arrived at Babas last Saturday, and pushed reinforcements to McPher son, who was to reach Atlanta by next Saturday, unless a heavy force of rebels was met on the way. At last accounts he was at Sweet Water town, and driven the rebels across Powder and Nlckajack creeks, and got possession of the bridge across the Chattahoochee, twelve miles from Atlanta. “The main army under General Thomas was advancing, and occupied Marietta on Monday, taking 400 prisoners, and a railway train of sick and wounded rebels, with several cannon and small arms. It is believed that Atlanta will be in onr possession before next Sunday. Johnston, with fragments of his disorganized army, b"g crossed the Chattahoochee, and was felling back to Atlanta. THE SITUATION. [From the Nashville Times of the SOth.l We have bad a conversation with a very In telligent gentleman who had left Oca. Sherman’s army last Tuesday, lie stated that our soldiers were in fine health, buoyant, resolute and confi dent. and eager to reach the retreating foe. John ston’s army was still felling oack, the bulk of it being then at Atlanta, and the cavalry six tntlea this side ol that place. It waa the general opinion that it would be wholly impossible for Johnston to make a successful stand there oral any other point, as onr numbers were sufficient to flank him wherever he might go. A large portion of the country through which we are pasting is deserted by its inhabitants. In Caetviile, scarcely a family is left. The people have boon seized with a panic in some neighbor hood?, and fled farther South to escape the expect ed fury of the Invading army. The slaves nave mostly been run off South, except a few aged and decrepit once who have been left to starve by their owners, after tolling for half a century with out pay. There are consequently hardly any slaves, low coming Into Gen. Sherman’s lines. On kn Tuesday about noon, a wagon train, re turning from Kingston, with a small guard, was attached by a body or rebel cavalry, and fbrtr wagons were captured. In a short time the guard was reinforced and fifteen wjgous were retaken, the rest having been destroyed* Several of our soldiers were killed or captured. A gentleman who has been perfectly familiar with Atlanta and all the adjacent territory for many years, also informed ns on Saturday that there was no earthworks at Atlanta, unless they have he*n made wltnm the past month. There are a few batteries and a line of rifle-pits. De serters who c&me in yesterday confirm this state ment. Chattahooche Heights* which are right mile? this side of Atlanta, have been well forti fied near the point where the railroad crosses the river. These fortifications will be of no avail, however, a? they can easily be flanked. The abandonment of Daiton cast a deep gloom over man; rebels who had before been confident of tncccss. It was expected that Johnston would make a stubborn and triumphant resistance there, if any place. Major Moore, of Johnston’s etofi, said a few weeks ago ; “ If we can't hold Dalton, we may as well give up, for we can’t hold any place.- our estimate Johnston’s force variously, some pntuu- u at 4'j.uoo ana bichcß Cv.lCO. bat probably one would emnnch who should estimate his veterans at some 55,0j3 strong. He may have gathered up, as bo has beet* tailing back, 20.000 or 25.000 conscripts and green troops, who will do little else beside consume bis £ tensions. The present conscription is sweeping, ardly any person. escaping Us grasp. Severe punishment Is inflicted on Quartermasters and other officers who shelter persons liable to con scription, end persons who received legal exemp tion six weeks ago are now snatched up and put Id the ranks. Heo with one hand, one arm, one leg. or otherwise maimed, arc con scripted, and put on dnty in hospitals, so as to allow able-bodied attendants ana guards to go Into the ranks. Great indignation costs in Atlan ta and in the country round about at this cruel op pression. and many of the people wish to see John ston defeated, so that they may be rescued from an oppression so remorseless and horrible. Onr informant said that he bad beard more treason spoken in Nashville since his arrival, within the space of a few day s, than he had heard in Atlanta in as many months. The region which General Sherman Is now ap proaching is the great manufacturing region of rebeldom. Tears before the rebellion, a large amount of Northern capital was Invested in iron furnaces and cotton factories, and it has been a windfall to the rebels- The Atlanta rolling mill Is said to be the largest in the Sooth. Last summer it was sold to Frazer & Co., the notorious block ade runners, who amassed a vast fortune at Charleston, for $* 00,000. The capture of these works will be disastrous to* rebeldom, for it will be impossible to replace the machinery at other points.

Fahtiieb Point, Jane 1.-The Nora Scotian,from Liverpool, 19th, via Green Castle 20th. has passed this point. Parliament has reassembled- Lord Palmerston is oca in in his seat, his health being restored. Baxter attacked and Palmerston explained and defended the British intervention in China. Therels nothing new as to the conference. The London Timer says the prospects of satis factory? results do not improve. It charges the Germans with a predetermination to refuse all terms and conditions; and wl f h carrying on rigor* ons warlike meaeerea daring the armistice. An official Prussian dispatch ’ shows that that Government considers itself free from all obliga tions of the treaty 0f1653. The London Morning Post rejoices at Palmers ton's recovery, and calls on him to 6n:t moral in- Jiutnce viih physical poicer, as the moment has arrived for such a policy. - - - The Back of Prance has reduced* Us rate of dis count to seven per cent.

Herald.] London, May 7,1864. ■ The Conference has met and the British fleet has anchored in the Downs. The oraclewho guards the door of the temple of Janas has his hand- on the knob, and If ha gives one torn the hinges- will grate harsh thunder. The war between two mill ions of Danes and two nations like Austria and Prussia of course is no worst all compared to- the dire conflict that wonld arise with Prance, Great Britain and Italy, joined against the Dutchmen.- The belief to-day la almost universal that there mustbewar, ThetwoPowersontheDannheond the Vistula eeem determined to pnsh matters to extremes to exact their foil pound of fle a b. and have Kncland drink the cop of degradation to the very dregs.- bbe is humiliated now as much as any Power can be, and all Englishmen feel it most sensibly; bat some spark ol honor will ho perceptible if nt the eleventh boor the two great Powers of the West step in and prevent the complete spoliation of Denmark. Apparently a few days will bring matters to a crisis; bat the shilly-shallying may possibly continue lor a week or two. The oracle of the Tnlleries is as inscrutable as ever, and no one knows till the time ot action ar rives wbat game he Is playing. Of course France ana England will act together, or rather England will not act without France, though there is a remote possibility that France and Italy may try conclusions with the Teutons, leaving the Britisher to his motion, his shopkeep ing ana his trade. Austria and Prussia most he relying on the Gnclphie Queen of Britain and her partiality to her German oftspring and their matrimonial al liances ; but it will be a hollow seed. The Queen has said she will resign rather than consent to a war with Prussia ;but she may doworse than that—he deposed on the gronnd of the state of her mind. If there is a war, I do not see bnt the battles on land will have to be fought without the aid of Brit ish troops. The British army of one hundred and dnj-elz thousand men la scattered over every part of the world, and including the ornamental troops around the royal palaces, there are not thirty thou sand soldiers In the British isles. These are hard ly sufficient for a coast guard. Bnt John Ball will stud bis fleet to the where there Is not a fort to attack, a one-horse seaport town to block ade, or two floating tnbs to demolish. The part to betaken by thenation that claimed to be the vic tors at Waterloo will be about as important as that of the bachelor who at picnics always famished the folks and spoons, while others contributed the eatables. The actual expense never fell on the owner of the spoons. While the British fleet lays off Copenhagen, Kiel. Lubcck and the island of Alsen, France will, send an army of three hundred thousand men to Cologne and Coblenz, and Italy will march a large-force into Vcnctia. These events transpiring. Garibaldi will bare use for his new English sword before be takes lime to feed bis coats. The London Times says greater political events and changes have already occurred in the north of Europe, by the nsnpatlons of Austria and Prussia, than were accomplished by the “ Holy Alliance’* of 1815. The Time* goes on to say that these things cannot be permitted. No ope believes they would ever have transpired had tbeßrltfsb govern ment shown a decided and firm front last October. The half bully, half timid policy has really caused this war. So mnch for haring a woman as a ruler. My opinion Is now, as it has-been-from the first, that we shall bare a big war.- The coarse to be taken by Russia la as yet unseen.- Haying certain projects to carry out, both on the Danuoa’and In Circassia, the Czar will probably gu‘ against Prus sia and Anstrla, bnt make the latter Power the re cipient of the most of her bard knocks. One thing la certain Prussia and Austria hare got to giro op their pretentions and their conquests in Denmark, or hear British thunder.. They will not hack ont. The Prussians are eateaup with ego tism and desire lor military glory ana conquest. The country has won no military laurels and added nothing to her territory since the days of Freder ick the Great, and they envy the progress and ex panslon of Russia, Austria, France, Italy and Great Britain. Bnt madness li the star that con trols Prussia. In this fight she mast lose. CONGBEBHOiTAL. Washington, June 1. SENATE. Hr. SHERMAN, of Ohio, from' the Committee of Coufcrencu on the Bank Bill, made a report, the material chance of which Is In requiring all bank* to redeem tbeir notes at par In New Tone, Instead of allowing Western banks a discount of one lonrth of one per cent on notes redeemed In New York.

There were no farther proceedings on the hill, the morning hour having expired. Mr. BA VIS, of New iork,.introduced a bill for the construction of a bridge over the Hudson river at Albany. Referred to the Committee on Com merce. The House concurred In the report of the Com mittee on Conference on the disagreeing amend ments to the National Bank bill. Mr. DAWES, of Massachusetts, made a report on the Missouri contested election, case of Birch contesting the scat of King. Be said the Com mittee bad come to the same conclusion they did In that of Bruce against Loan; that neither was elected, but having no desire to reopen the discus sion while adhering to their opinion, they accept ed the vole ol the House in the latter case as a set tlement of this one. He, therefore, moved that the papers be laid upon tbe table and the Commit tee oc discharged from further consideration of the subject. Mr BIRCH, the contestant, addressed the House at length on his own behalf. The question was taken on laying the whole sub ject on tbe table, and decided in the negative. Mr. FARNSWORTH, of HI., offered a resolution that neither Mr. Birch or King is entitled to a scat in the House as representatives of the 6th District of Missouri, which was disagreed to. The Committee on Elections was discharged from any further consideration of the subject, so Mr. King retains his seat. Adjourned. , The One Hundred Hays 9 Hen in lowa* Davenport.

Thfi movement from Iforth Anna to Pumuniy occupied only about 40 hours. . " In that time the army marched a distance of nearly 40 miles over good, but dusty and unknown roads, and effected the passage of two large rivers, and was brought withn an easy day’s march'd Richmond. was first determined to make the passage of the Pamunky with the 6th and 2no Corps at Hano vet, and the sth and oth at New Castle ferries, bat the engineer officer accompanlng the line ofSber; idan's raid reported two good crossings a short distance above and below Hanovertoivn, and the orders were accordingly modified, and double pon toon bridges were thrown across at Hanovertown ann the sth, Cth and 2nd corps passed over these In the course of yesterday. The Bth corps did not got across ontll early this morning. 6t all oar immense transportation, not a wagon was lost.- Of men, only the pickets alrcadyalludcd to and a few stragglers, who were captured by the enemy. TheweaiheronPridsyandyestcrdaywas very warm, and the men and animals became very weary. The comparative rest of to-day, however, has reernited them. The headquarters remain at the Pumunkey to-night. Prisoners and contra- Oreat trouble'had been found in laying ont the lines of march, owing to the dlfilculty imgotting Intellicent information as to roads and crossings In this comparatively unknown region. At midnight the enemy attempted to surprise Hancock’s corps in Us position in advance of our lines, which it took last evening and held during the night. They, were repulsed with groat slaugh ter, leaving five hundred prisoners on our hands. During the night it was determined to advance the remainder of our line, -so as to bring It up with Hancock’s left and right. This movement commenced about 6 o’clock this morning, and brought os-heavy skirmishing along the entire front. The artillery has been at work at different parts of the line daring the last hoar. . The enemy’s outposts- are evidently making a strong resistance to onr-sdvance, bnt as yet there arc no Indications that li will bring on a general engagement. It Is positively known that Lee’s- army holds a na ally strong position constantly improved by steady work with pick and shovel during the last few days, on the hills sklrtinglhe-north bonk of the Cblckahomlny. We are tbreatnlng ,, them;bnf there is as yet no indications of any intentions* onthe part of the rebels to abandon their present line to fall back to the other side of the' Chickahomlny, On the con trary, they show as mnch readiness to act on the offensive as they did-In front of Spottsylvanla Court House and on the North Anna. They may precipitate a general action at any moment It is certain'that Breckinridge’s forces are with Lee, and prisoners say that Beauregard’s forces are Joining him. It is reported that rebel cavalry first made its appearance between the Pa monkey and the Hattapony. fSpeclal Dispatch to the Chtpaco-Tribaue.! Washington, June-1, ISC4—I2 PM.
