WEDKESDAT, JUKE 22, 1861 tbe news. f At present writing (2 a. m.) we are with ■out farther official advices from Secretary Stanton, In whose bulletins of war operations the public have come to repose not unde served confidence. The advices through private news channels comprise tbe opera lions of Sunday before Petersburg, revealing no marked change In the situation or rela tive position. Everything seems preparing for the momentous struggle on which will Jjnng the late of the rebel capital, and if that Xsllfi, the fate of the Confederacy. The task Bet before Grant Is the gravest of the war. Chicago readers do cot need to bo informed tbat there ore occasions when a timid Be publican is os harmful to the cause of loy alty 06 the worst copperhead. Through tbe co-operation of these two classes in Con gress, the measure to repeal the commuta tion clause will fail, and we ehall have no available law of draft. The Trzbusb has Been persistent and outspoken in its warn ings of danger to our cause from lock of men, and this evil is certain to be continued from lack of manhood in the representatives of the people. We fear that a few months hence tbe eyes of the blindest will be opened, arO all will see clearly the necessity, save Ibof-e who have fixed their eyes southward, and look in no other direction. The Senate yesterday passed tbe bill for aiding tbe great International Telegraph measure by a liberal grant, and subsidy. Tbe people will endorse tbelr action. It is one oi the noblest enterprises of tbe age. Our news from Sherman’s army, com prised in the letters of our own correspond ent at that theatre of war, is to the 13th snst., and of tbe most interesting and im portant character, giving a graphic and life like narrative of army incidents, camp scenes, end the general situation. Anniversary week at Bloomington opens to-day, a great and interesting occasion for the pretty University city of the Prairie State. "Well done lowa. Onr sister over the Mis clsslppl never does things by halves, and the Northern lowa Sanitary Fair that opened yesterday at Dnbnque, not only promises great things, but has realized them in SIS,OOD receipts on the first day, with a magnificent Bales list offered. Gold cast off the linos yesterday and went up until the beads of some of the lookers on got dizzy. The most extravagant rumors 'Were afloat. It was said that gold was 210, 215, and some asserted that Just round the corner a man had told them that 220 had fcetn reached. Not so. The highest figure reported is 205, and this quotation is proha lily based on only light transactions. There liavc been heavy bets made that gold would go above 200 before the Ist of July, and it ias done so. It is a gambler’s stroke, and copperhead gamblers at that, who could as easily have put it at 225. The general produce markets here were again excited yesterday, and prices closed in the evening at a further advance of 12ai4c per bushel on wheat, 7<S7#c on corn, BJ£@4c on oats, oconrye,end2o@2sconflonr. The whisky market was excited and irregular, advancing at one time 6c per gallon, and afterwards declining to its opening price. The sales yesterday foot up about 5,000 brls flour, 9,000 brls whisky, 600,000 bushels wheat, 500,000 bushels corn, and 350,000 bushels oats. During the week ending noon yesterday, prices advanced Co®7o on flour, 25&30 c on wheat, s(&7Jtfc on corn. Sc on oats, and 28Sb 29c on whisky—and the sales daring the came period amounted to abont2S,ooo bar rels flour, 3,000,000 bushels wheat, 1,500,000 bushels corn, 525,000 bushels oats, and 41,400 barrels whisky. This is the heaviest week’s business ever before done in any city in the West. TIUB PUBLIC DEBT. According to tLe official statement of Sec* rotary Chose, given in our last issue, the public debt at this time is precisely $1,719,- 295.1C8.55, or in round numbers a little over Sxvextekx Bwndked Milxjoks. Cat the figure out and paste it In your hat, or In some other way keep it handy for reference. It ■will enable you to correct the favorite Copperhead falsehood that it is a much lar ger suin'; sometimes stated ns high as four thousand millions. Remember the precise figure, and then, large as it is, recollect that It s fox than iialf the public debt of Great Britain. The comparison should be careful ly borne in mind. It will be an admirable copcctlve of mistaken ideas on this point. We ore a young and growing nation. The inen aec of onr national wealth, as shown by lli<> lust Ccnsns Reports,-was, from 1840 to IK*O, C 4 percent, or from $3,754 000,000 to 55,174.000,000; and from ISSO to 1860, 127 percent, or np to $14,153,000,000, Mark Ibis. The sum we owe is only IS per cent of property of the country, a ratio that will Btmdlly diminish in each year of peaceful nutionel existence, under the restored Union. It is quite different with the business liabiil li-h of the young and prosperous firm, and the debtd of an aid house whose prosperity hes culminated. Meet any croaker on the crisis, who exaggerates or gives undue weight to the actual figures of the war debt wit.ii this view of the case, and face bim down with the facts as they are. I We might go further and deny all right to the truly patriotic, oi counting the cost in Buying this nation. Economy in public ex penditure is one thing, but no witholding of finances or of credit should peril the cause. Do yon dismiss your family physi cian when bis patient has long bung between life and death, and becanse,on the whole,you cannot afford Lis visits 1* Do yon sit shiver ing in midwinter over your hoards, frighten cu by the price of fuel ? When you, do your neighbors will coll you miserly, and pity your households. And when you reproduce the same follyioyonr views of tbe present war expenditures, we fear yon ore to be called by a meaner term even—Copperhead. “ Bui posterity will h&vc all this to pay.” True, but there are other payments that can pot so conveniently he postponed for pos terity. Witness the blood that is being poured ont to save tbe nation. The hearts Ululate yielding up their best treasures to Bc.diir graves; tbe lost fathers, brothers and Bone; the maimed and crippled heroes that come home to ns. None of these will befol po.-.ti :ity. And through these we slialleave tbe nation in this, our day. Our descendants will find only old battle fields sown with rusted Iron, old linos ol for tifications long silent, with rabbits burrow ing in the rampart, and tbe partridge leading her brood through tbe balf-oblilcratcd trench. And the scars in onr homes will have been kindly healed, or only live as hallowed mem ories. Will posterity find fault if their lesser share comes down in a public debt, lightly laid ou the shoulders of a nation prosperous and flourishing then because we save It now? Only a Copperhead’s descendants would grumble at such a cause, and os Copperheads will Lave only an infamous place in history tbtir children will be extremely careful how lb - y thus betray their lineage. Let ns save the notion, cost what it may. It Is worth caving, even at ten times the cost yet accrued Auhora Institute CosnuENCEMENT,—The anniversary exercises of Clark Seminary, at Anrorr, will be held June 28th, 29th and COlh.

[From Oar Own Correspondent ] Is Camp sean Marietta, G Jnne 12,18 M. Os the morning of the 10th the army of the' Misdeelppi moved Soothward. Its position at that time was os stated In my letter from Acworth. The right lay across the road from Burnt Btkory to Marietta, and some three miles north of Lost Mountain, the same position that Johnston’s left occupied, and the left at Ackworth, covering the railroad. Gen. Schofield had the right, Thomas tbe centre, and McPherson tbe left. Johnston’s army, which bsdbeen compelled by the movement of the whole right wing and right centre to the ex treme left, to leave its position in the Dallas range was not in onr immediate front. A reconnolssance in force, made from the left wing, by the 2d cavalry division. Gen. Garrard, on tbe tth, fonnd the rebel advance some six miles north of Marietta. Other rcconnolssances from tbe centre and left discovered substantially the same rebel position. Snch at least seemed, and was belicven to be, the position to those in the field. TUB VERACIOUS PRE- a fl. A mail, however, which arrived late In tbe day before we moved, brought Cincinnati and New York papers of recent dates, which stated mo«t eolemnlr that Thomas had captured Marietta— rannm, small arms and prisoners—that McPher son had the bndse across the Chattahoochee, and Atlanta wonld be ours on the Sunday which sne ceedeo tbe New York World of Jnne the 3d Inst. With a field-glass one could see from Loran’s headquarters tbe rebels working like beavers with spades and axes on tbe elopes of Lost Mountain * the same defensive spectacle waa “visible to the naked eye” from Schofield's. Scouts and cavalry by a fiction of tbe regulars. 44 the eyes and oars of tbe army,” all agreed In the same general reports of tbe rebel location. Sherman and McPherson and Locan were all at Ackworth; tbe grand army was only waiting lor rations that it might move. And as we read these reliable sheets, ambulances loaded with wounded from tbe front drove by • soldiers were hurrying with short letters for the mail to headquarters, and orderlies carry!*" or ders to move at eborp six upon the enemy were homing Adjutant Generals tnroagh the camp. It was a strongs situation; every evidence abont vonwhsof an impending battle, every prepara tion was Indicative of it. Could all this be ahal- Indnatlon f Was tbe Grand Army wrong * tbe World and its Cincinnati iellow light J Appear ances by axiom are deceptive, 44 and things ore not what they seem. 1 ’ Nevertheless the armv t_-.-ched in battle order, skirmishers formed, ridettes and afterwards skirmishers, 'musketry «as beard along the whole front, batteries lifted up their voices, end towards mpht long lines of earthworks rebels alarms were found along our whole front. The place had not the‘lightest resemblance to the Marietta we had anticipated. Reputable maps and indigenous dtlzecs asserted that Marietta was still six miles south: a conside rable army was dlennting over night to occupy and possess the aforesaid Marietta. To increase the doubts as to onr whereabouts, in tbe midst of onr second day’s operations, the Gazette ofCln camati comes down giving 101 l details of the pe culiar right aniled maneuvers by which on May 80th Marietta was occupied by this army, illus trated by hues and ru.es. Still I venture the as sertion,—ln fact “tay.U boldly,”—we are not In Marietta. HOW WE BROKE CXSTP. To return to my narrative. At 6in the morning of the juih, the army broke camp snd moved folv ward. It had already drawn supplies from Car tertville. to which point they were brought by rail road, and we were well provisioned in all respects. The sick and wounded were all left la the hospi husat Aekworth, and the army was in as rood a condition to move as possible for an army so tat from its main depots. J THE POSITION OP TUB EVENT. • The position of tho enemy was along a range of mils exteuding from the Lost Honn tain to Kene taw Mountain, in a southwesterly coarse. Eene taw Mountain Is north of Marietta about fonr roll». and at the railroad n l» high and steep, and heavily weeded, as are all the elevations in the enemy’s line. ocb rorzarrKT. The movement was by heads of column, all the available roads being need. Each head of column bad with it a battery of heavy rifles, and the banks were well covered with cavalry. The coon try through which the left wing moved was much bet ter than that about Pallas, in which It had been It la more open, lets hilly, and more arable. NOTES or OITB eCBBOCBDIKOS.

Tue resistance of the rebels was flight, and resulted In few casoaltice. They were in sufficient numbers and the advance was pn«hcd well up, so far as to develop the lict that we had again lonnd Johnston’s army. JOHNSTON'S STBOKO POSITION, Johnston has a good position. Between the r:cge which we occupied and intrenched oa ibo nigniol the loth, and the range of hills which he bolds.

Johnston himself published an order in relation to the subject which was read to them. It was stated to the troops that Sherman had brought his army so far South that bis tine of sup plies was longer than heoouldho'd: that he was too far Irom hie base—jnet where their command ing oenend wished to getblm; tbatapart ol their «nny wosd hold tho railroad, thirty miles north of the Eiowbh, and that the great railroad bridge at Allaloona bad been completely destroyed * that in a tew days Sherman would be ont of supplies because he could h.lng no more trains through by the railroad.

Washington, Tuesday. June 31.

Dic tator and Puritan. * Mr. POMEROY, of Kansas, reported, with out amendment, the bill to secure to persons in the military and naval service of the United States homesteads on forfeited estates in the insurrectionary districts. Mr. LAKE, of Kansas, submitted a letter from Mr. Fishback to Mr. Lane, protesting ecalnst the charges of disloyalty against him, and making averments of his entire loyalty to the constitution and Government ol the United States. Ordered to be printed. Mr. CHANDLER, of Michigan, moved to lake up the hill to encourage and facilitate telegraphic communications between the Eastern and Western Continents, and the motion was agreed to. Mr. GRIMES, of lowa, opposed the clause granting a subsidy to the company of hall a million of dollars. He wished it to be un derstood that he was not opposed to the grand object to he accomplished, bat he be lieved it could he done by individual enter prise without any subsidy on the part of the United States Government This was not a monopoly on the part of Mr. Collins partic ularly, bnt on tb- part of the W. U. Tel. Company. He did not believe it was neces sary lor this Government to do more than the British and Russian Governments had done, via; To grant the right of way and afford facilities for laying the wire. . Mr. MORRILL, of Me., said tWa was a na tional measure or great importance. If the Western Union Telegraph Company choose to. undertake and carry It through, what in terest would be endangered by the Govern ment aiding them to the limited extent re quired. The lice would cost from five to eight millions, or according to the Secre tary, ten millions He did not believe there was a man who would have denied the American people this great boon of a tele graphic “ girdle around the world.” This would he one ot the great things in our his tory. None would stand higher. Therefore he lavored the proposition. Mr. Collins had promptly received the co operation of the English and Russian Governments in this great enterprise, and came here for onr aid, and we gravely de bated the question of refusing ft, because we could have such a thing done by some one else who had taken advantage of his dis coveries He thought the Government could well afford to pay fifty thousand dol lars per annum as a. subsidy for prompt communication with the old world. He opposed the amendment of Mr. Ten Eyck slicing out the proviso iu the third section, the words “fifteen years ’’and inserting “ten years,” and also striking out one hum en d thousand and inserting fifty thousand. Mr, WILSON, of Mass., said be should veto for this bill on general principles, be lieving it would accomplish a grand object As the representative ol a great manufactur ing interest, he could do no less. The amendment of Mr. Ten Eyck was then rejected,'and the proviso stands as follows: landed. That if during any of the fiitecn years aforesaid, the business done for the United States, under the said contract, shall, at the ordinary rate of charge for private messages, exceed the sum of SIOO,OOO, an ac count thereof, duly authenticated, shall be I resented to the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall certify the same to Congress for payment. Instead of granting a quarter section of land each fifteen miles, the United States grants so much unappropriated public land as is needed for stations, not to exceed for ty acres for each fifteen miles of line. The Secretary of the Navy is authorized to de tail a steamer or other vessel to assist In surveys and laying wires. The subsidy or 50,030 dollars per year is stricken ont The Secretary of War is au thorized. but not directed, to use the avail able military forces in the Territories to pro tect the lines.

Bermuda -Hundreds, June 19, via Balti more, June 21,—There was fighting in front of Petersburg up to two o’clock yesterday, wlthont any decisive result but we con stantly gain ground. We captured another piece of artillery yesterday. Decisive resulta are expected soon. Everything is satisfactory with the army.

New York, June 2L—The special to'the New York Timex, dated headquarters army of the Potomac, Sunday, 9in the forenoon, says: No positive advantage bos been obtained over the enemy during the last twenty-four hours. There has been more or less fighting along the whole line. Charges and counter charges have been made. Onr right and left have been swung in something more than a mile, while the center has been advanced but little. Briefly, Petersburg is surrounded by an abhatis ol Yankee bayonets, within easy range of the city. All was quiet last night (Saturday.) There was no demonstration on either side. There has been no lighting this morning. The New York Tribune special, dated head quarters of the army of the Potomac, June 30, in the forenoon, says: The fourth day of the battle of Petersburg ended last night. If it shall open again to-day (Sunday) it will be the siege of Petersburg—briefer, perhaps than a battle. We attacked three times yesterday, at four in the morning, at noon, and at four in the afternoon. Warren joined on the left, and swung around with a skirmishing front, half a mile at each advance, taking one line of works and pressing np to another and the last Hancok and Bnmslde, In the centre, found more opposition. The former has gained half a mile, the latter more. The loss in the last assault was particularly severe In Bar low’s and Gibbon’s divisions, and In tne sec ond division of Burnside. Mill’s division of the Cth corps, and Martlndale’s division of of the Bth corps swept np the river to within half a mile of the town. One more line, and we have the town, which we now semi-clr cumvaUate to defenses. Colonel Cbambcrla'n, commanding a bri gade In the sth corps, Is bidly wounded In the hip, and Col Beaver, of the 14Sth Penn sylvania, in the side The Herald?* special, June 19th, morning, At 4 o’clock this morning Burnside’s corps attacked the enemy’s works ou the left of our line, and carried them after a severe and protracted straggle, capturing abont 500 prisoners, six excellent brass field pieces, ana two that were spiked. Tfie New York Tima? special sajs: The exploit of a small pirty of Butler’s force, on the Richmond and Petersburg rail road, was a brilliant affair. The force of 4,000 advanced three or four miles directly In the teeth of Lee’s veteran army, whom U succeeded in cutting In two by destroying three miles of the railroad over which the troops were passing us fast os the trains could run. Xu taking tbe almost vacated rebel works, we captured 200 urisoners. While tbe meu were destroying the railroad (be picket force of the rebels came down! and a mere handful of our men held them at b«y till tbe work was accomplished. Tho picket was reinforced heavily, and our men rctirtd. The JTfrald't special says Hancock’s old wound has been so troublesome that he was obliged to ask' to be relieved. The request was granted,'and Birney has command of his corps. did not command in Satur day’s fight. He expects to be in the field again in a week. It is said there are 20,000 rebel troops in Petersburg, and they are being continually reinforced. The attack at 4 o’clock In the morning o Saturday by the 2d corps met with but little opposition, onr troops passing over formid able works occupied by tbe enemy the day previous, and captured fifty or sixty prison ers. The casualties on both sides were few. We moved on and developed another line of works, about 500 yards beyond. Here the rebels made a stubborn resistance. At noon a general advance of the 2d corps was or dered. Tbe assaulting force consisted of three brigades. The line rushed forward gallantly, but could not withstand the steady fire of musketry, grape and canister. Though they got within seventy-five yards of tie earthworks, they fell back, leaving the dead and wounded. Another attack was ordered at another point. Tbe storming party consisted of sev eral brigades. They were met with such a murderous fire and cut down so rapidly that they were withdrawn. Another Herald correspondent says of the sth corps 1 fighting on Friday: The day’s work commenced at daylight, when they found that the rebels had fallen back to the second line in the night. The works were attacked with great gallantry. There was a severe struggle for the posses sion of the railroad track leading to Norfolk, which was finally taken. This appears to have been the only advantage gained, though the rebel position was also fought for. Another correspondent wlththe9tb Corps, says: The rebels made the attack at ten in the evening, coming up in two columns. On reaching our line, whether intentionally, or the result of a blunder, one colnmn shout ed “ and twenty-four were thus made prisoners. Other columns came up to our works bravely, and under cover of a bat tery admirably posted, drove our men into their Intrenctaments. They sprang over the works and a band to hand fight ensued. The muskets had been discharged on both sides, and the bayonets and stocks only were used. The Ist Michigan Sharpshooters were the men engaged on our side, and about one hundred and twenty were captured, and the remain der escaped. The rebels held possession un til daylight and then cvacu item A New York Time* special, Jane 18th, says; The rebels, on Friday night, made a furious attack on Burnside’s front, and, after a severe contest reoccnpfed the fort he had taken the previous morning.

Tuesday, Jono 4,1884, The gold act wont mto effect to-day. The new gold stock exchange cheerfully struck all clearings from their Hat. The gamblers’ gold room, comer of Ex change Place and William street, was adjourn ed without delay. There was no open at tempt to defeat the new law. Strong disposition to do so was manifested among speculators in gold and exchange, these favorite occupations being interfered with by it to exaggerate difficulties of doing business under it. This clamor was increased by the advance in gold at the brokers offices. The’price reached 207 in the streets, but was exclusively caused by the necessities of the importers who had con tracts maturing, and for once were obliged to buy actual gold and pay for it the same day. Of course the brokers had them at their mercy and asked what they pleased.
