The House yesterday, after a protracted
snd earnest debate, passed the new loan bill,
authorizing the Secretory of the Treasury to
raise $400,000,000 to carry on the war and
rave the country. Some would-he loyal men

[Special Dispatch to tbe Chicago Tribune.]
Waeeekotok ,Thursday June 38.
Tour correspondent with the Potomac
army sends the following:
Gen. Grant’s Headquarters, 1
June 81— 9p.m, f
There has been no serious fighting since
the unsuccessful night demonstration of the
enemy upon the line of the Oth corps on
Tuesday night. Our army being, however,
as close to that of the enemy ns it was in
trout of the Chlckahominy two weeks ago,
heavy skirmishing Is continuslly going on.
Our line extends nearly to the Petersburg
and Weldon Railroad. We have got posses
sion of the latter but our artillery com
mands had stopped the running of trains
over the road by destroying the great bridge
over the Appomattox.
It is positively established that the greater
part of Lees's army is in and about Peters
burg. Pickett's and Breckinridge's divisions,
together supposed to be about 2,090 strong,
were detached by Lee •when he was still
north of Richmond to go after Hunter In a
forced march to save Lynchburg. As the'
last papers received at headquarters repre
sent-Hunter passed around Lyncyburg and
crossed the James River, the rebel move
ment is not likely to prove & fruitful one.
Headquaettes, June 22—5' A. iL—There
was some artillery firing on the right and
picket skirmishing at various points along the
line during the whole of yesterday, resulting
in the wounding of a few men, hut causing
no change in the position.
A battery stationed on an elevated piece of
ground in front of Petersburg kept annoying
one of onr batteries on the left for some time
when it opened in return, one of the shells
exploding in the midst of the men at the reb
el guns knd causing a cessation of firing on
their pack
Gen. Hancock is recovering from his indis
position and expects to resume the command
of his corps in a few days.
President Lincoln paid a visit to General
Grant, at City Point, yesterday.
New York, June 23 —The New York
Totio’ special, dated “ Headquarters 2d
Army Corps, near Petersburg, Va., Monday,
June 20th?’ says: At 8 o'clock this morn
ing, Gen. Blmey, occupying tbe nearest po
sition to the city, at a range of about 1,200
>ards, opened ms batteries on the place, and
for five hours kept up a constant bombard
ment, which rendered Petersburg anything
but an agreeable place of residence for a
time. The elfects of the shelling have not
yet been ascertained, aside from the burning
of some buildings.
The New York Tribune's special, dated
“Headquarters Army of tbe Potomac, jane
20th,” says: There was severe sharpshaot
ing yesterday and to-day, with occasional
guns, but no advance was attempted by
either army.
The headquarters, which are close to Pe
tersburg and close to the river, sustained,
at eight this morning, for an bonr, a terrific
rain of shells and solid shot Among the
wounded are Colonel Henry Smith, of the
Headquarters Guard, who lost both legs, but
will probably survive. CoL Tompkins' bat
teries finally silenced the enemy.
The Woiid special, dated “mtbe field be
fore Petersburg, 21st,” says: 1 would be
lees surprised to awaken to-morrow morn
ing and find Grant's army In position some
where on tbe enemy's flank, than I would to
find that wc had attacked them in the fr-mt,
and lorced them from their present position.
Lee has a strong position in our front, andis
defending it with his entire armv, as far as I
can learn. He certainly has every itcentlvc
for fighting, so long as he has the slightest
chance of holding onr army at bay. If we
beet him, good-bye to further railroad com
munication with Bichmond. Therefore, if
he wishes to save tbe capital, he must exert
himself here. Our troops are dangerously
dose to Petersburg, So near is one portion
ol our line to the city, that they could with
all ease, send shells through It at point blank
range.
W AsmscTON, June 23.—Passengers from
City Point report that tbe siege of Fort
Darling commenced on Monday, but we have
no confirmation ot this. The Herald 1 * dis
patch, dated Headquarters, Army of tbe Po
tomac, June 21, says: Yesterday morning
at four o'dock Thompson's rebel -cavalry,
with artillery, attacked White House, and
continued the assault until half-past four in
the ei ening. At the date of the last dispatch
from there, our loss had not exceeded two or
three killed and wounded. The explosion of
a rebel caisson put a number hort du combat.
Sheridan was arriviog and would partici
pate in tbe engagement.
New Youk, June 23.—A New York Timet
special from Mr. Swlnton concludes a long
review of tbe campaign with this prediction:
Yon may once more turn your eyes away
from the front held by the confronting force
and cndcavorto conjecture what new stroke
will be made by the fertile brain that has al
ready-displayed such fertility of resources in
a campaign that is without a parallel In tbe
history ol warfare.
The Herald* correspondent, Jnne 20th,
says: Tbe rebels did not reply to us -while
shelling the city in front, for the reason, per
haps, that their batteries are so well covered
by onr sharpshooters that it is difficult to
work the guns.
Bimey has strengthened the line in front
of the 2d corps, and made them secure.
Prisoners report that Hill's and Long
street's corps arrived in Petersburg on Fri
day, but they were instructed, In case ol
capture, to say that they belonged to Wise's
brigade, or Beauregard's command.
Another Hcrcdd correspondent says: Gen.
Wiißon and bis cavalry moved on the 14th
and 18th. They were about eight miles
south of Prince George Court House, to pro
tect oar left flank and rear. Onr pickets ex
tend from the left Infantry line to Blackwa
tcr Creek.
Fobt&ess Mokuoe, Jnne 22.—A. steamer
from the White House yesterday morning re
ports that at 6 o'clock on the 20th. Fits Hugh
Lee ard Wade Hampton attacked our forces
intrenched there, under Gen. Abercrombie,
but were repulsed and driven back by our
gunboats. The rebels then planted a batte
ry, and fired os the boats and land forces,
which was contined till 4 o'clock. The rebel
loss was comparatively heavy. Prisoners
captured, stated that our gunboats were mis
taken lor transports, and the rebels expected
to capture our troops before Sheridan could
come to their assistance. At 5 o'clock Sber
idan arrived with his entire command. Onr
loss was only three wounded.
Gen. -Abercrombie received a dispatch from
Gen. Grant, daring the e neagement, to bold
the placefct all hazards. There was some
skirmishing yesterday.
Citt Porar, June la—City Point, General
Grant’s new base of supplies in his operations
against Richmond from the south bank of the
James River, is at this momenta scene of
cztraordinaiy hustle and activity. The high
bluff on which is situated the few ramshackle
and battered houses which constitute the
town, is covered for miles with troops, white
and black, with tents, trains, ambulances,
horses, supplies of all kinds. In every di
rection, evm street, road and avenue, Hs
crowded with'the moving masses. The river
in front Is filled with steamboats, big and
little, and with transports, from which
troops are dtbarking, and around which
thousands of negroes are at work, unloading
the material and reloading it on tains, which
at once push for* ant. It Is only to-day that
Cjty Point has re«lly been established as the
base of operations. It certainly la a most ex
cellent base. We have easy communication
with Petersburg, either by land or up the Ap
pomattox Elver; but the land line is so far
superior that nearly everything has been sent
that way.
Washington, June 22.—The latest reports'
from the Army of the Potomac are under
date of “Headquarters. June 2L” Every
thing was quiet along the line, except that
the rebels had developed new batteries of
heavy rifled guns across the Appomattox,
with which they shelled Gen. Wright’s head
quarter’s some thirty minutes. Some of the
General’s staff were injured, and two non
commissioned officers and one private were
killed instantly by the explosion of a shell.
We opened three batteries on these guns,
and soon succeeded In silencing them. .
It Is believed here, from information ob
tained from prisoners and deserters, that
nine brigades of Ewell’s corps have gone to
oppose Hunter.
Brig. Gen. Jnllns White, of Illinois, has
been ordered to duty In the Army of the Po
tomac. Be will probably be assigned a
division In Burnside’s Corps.
RURKL ACCOUNTS FROM PETERSBURG.
Washington, June 22.—The Richmond
Enquirer of thel6th gives the follo wing ver
sion of the lute fighting before Petersburg:
The interruption of commncication with
Petersburg by tbe advance of the enemy on
the railroad on Thursday from Bermuda Hun
dreds, shut ns off from any positive intelli
gence concerning events before Petersburg
on that day, "
The Enquirer has the following from the
Petersburg jxprf« which gives the rebel ac
count of tbe engagement on Thursday;
The cannonading commenced on tbe City Point
road at at early hour in tbe morning, and was fol
lowed by heavy skirmishing that continued daring
tbe forenoon. In the aiteruoon a fsrioos assault
was made npon Gen. Hoke’a front,.whose division
occcnpied a position facing batteries from 9 to 12,
inclusive, and conatitntiLg a roost Important situ
ation. The enemy came on in three lines of battle,
and made three charges, but were each time re
fiuieed by the heavy tire which blazed from oar
ioes, and sent tbe Vandals back In confusion.
Our men occupied the Imrenchmeat* which the
enemy bad partially thrown up during Wednes
day nlsht.
On our right, in the vic-nity of Calvary’s farm
house, there was heavy firing daring the greater
portion o! the day, bnt Ute in the afternoon It be
came quite severe, the enemy attempting to carry
tbe works by assault. This portion of tbe line
was occupied in tbe morning chiefly by our militia
forces, where we regret to bear several severe cas
ualties occurred. As soon as tbe regular troops
could be brought up ana placed In position, the
militia were relieved, and Gen. Bushrod ' John
ston’s division occupied the breastworks, along
with the Macon, Oa., light artillery, and other bat
teries there, as stated above. Tbe work was
qcite hot as the day advanceo, the enemy having
masted t»o divisions, if not more, 01 oor front.
Later In tbe afternoon a charge was made, bnt tbe
enemy was handsomely reon’sed. In tbe last
charge, the enemy came within IIP yards of our
fortification*, but the fire was so terrible that they
bolted, broke ranks, and retreated in great confu
sion, seeking shelter In a ravine, about 1W yards
from our lines. Here a large portion of a Yankee
brigade lelng exposed to »a enfilading
cross fire from oor cans, and not diring to show

THE EXPOSE OF THE NAYY AGENCY.
[From the N. Y. Commercial Auvertlssr.]
It appears that since tbe present Administra

bsrn paid $1,112,904.39. A portion of this was for
articles contracted for, but' the pretier part of
their CeTrenrs were made upon wbat are called

THE STUSGIB EXPEDITION
The Share of Illinois In tbo Sacrifice
to a Drunken Brigadier*
[Spcdal Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
SrniMorxu), Thursday, June 78,1864.
The losses to onr Illinois troops under the
command of Gen. Sturgis, In bis disgraceful
and disasterons defeat at Gnntown, are seri
ously felt by all classes here, and tbe indig
nation that a drunken and inefficent General
shall have caused this loss is bitter and uni
versal.
Among tbe gallant Illinois officers who fell
on that fatal Held were Colonel T. W. Hum
phrey of tbe 95tb, and Cob George W. Me-
Keog of tbe 120 th. Col. Humphrey resided
at Belyldere, and was a gallant and promis
ing officer. He had been in command of a
brigade for several months, and by bis cool
ness and bravery'in action bad received the
highest encomiums of his superior officers,
and a strong application bad jost been made
by every commissioned officer of bis division
for bis promotion, which bad. been strongly
endorsed by Generals Chambers, Crocker,
Dennis, McArthur, and McPherson, and for
warded by tbe Adjntant General. In the
siege of Vicksburg be particularly distin
guished himself in the ebarge of Geo. Ran
tom’s brigade, in which he was wounded,
and bis heroic 95tb lost over twenty-eight
per cent of the rank and file, and forty-five
per cent of the commissioned officers.
Capt. Bnsb, of the same regiment was also
killed in the late engagement.
Col. McEeag was a prominent lawyer of
Sbawneetown, and in 18C3 raised a splendid
regiment In Southern Illinois, and Ims been
on duty with it almost constantly since he
took tbe field. In him the State has lost a
most worthy citizen and an efficient officer.

The Conference Committee on the Tax bill
has doubtless finished its labors, but the
manual labor of writing out the report may
delay its presentation to the House till Fri
a»y. it ■
The Ways and Means Committee had a
protracted session over the Tariff bill, last
night.
The bill just passed by the Senate to pro
mote efficiency of the Navy, provides for the
transfer by the President, oi volunteers and
drafted men from the Army to the Navy, and
timt all enlistments in the naval service shall
be credited like enlistments In the Army, and
all persons hereafter enlisted shall receive
the same bounty as If enlisted In the army.
The bill which has passed the Senate ap
propriating $200,000 for a Navy Yard and
depot at Cairo, provided the President may
accept from the corporate authorities of
Cairo, or from any other person in fho corpo
ration, a site at or near said city, if, In his
opinion, the good of the public service re
quires It,
It was strongly opposed by Messrs. Brown
and Grimes, and earnestly advocated by
Trumbull, Richardson, and Chandler. Crimea’
proposition for the Board of naval officers to
select a site, and report to Congress next
season, was lost by a vote of 13 to 21, and
Brown's, that the President might select the
site, was lost by 11 to 21. Brown, Doolittle
and Grimes, voted against the bill on its
final passage.
•The speech of Thad. Stevens on the loan
bill to-day Is regarded by leading Republican
members as exceedingly .Injudicious to say
the least. Peace Democrats rejoiced to hear
him speak of repudiation as a possible re
sult of the continuance of the war. The
loan bill passed substantially as reported
from the Committee.
The Stevens and Jennings ‘substitutes were
each rejected.
The Senate took up the bill repealing the
S3OO clhuse of the enrollment law this eve
ning.
Mr. Wilson's amendment, that farther
drafts shall be for one year, was rejected by
12 to 28. Mr. Chandler's amendment that
future drafts shall be for not less than one
nor more than three years was also'lost by
16 to 23.

The House, In Committee of the Whole.
e t
resumed the consideration of the new loan
bllL
Mr. BROOKS, of Now, York, called atten
tion to the fact that the hill provides one per
cent for necessary expenses of engraving,
printing, preparing and issuing the United
States notes. Treasury notes, fractional notes
tu'd bonds, and of disposing of the same to
subscribers and purchasers. He said only a
few da; s ago four hundred andforty thousand
dollars were appropriated for similar
purposes, and as the whole amount to be
printed under ibis bill was 9614,000,000, the
one per cent would make a sum total of over
94,000,000. It could be done for a great deal
loss. Be himself would print the public
moneyfor one-tenth of that sum.
On motion of Mr. BROOKS, an amend-,
ment was made that the imprint of the seat*
of the Treasury Department shall be made
in a room apart from the printing bureau.
Mr. POMEROY, of N. Y., offered the fol
lowing as a substitute for the second section
of the bill:
That the Secrectary ot the Treasury may issue
upon the creditor the United States, bonds of any
denomination rot leas tbao SIOO. payable in lawful
money tnrce yean from the date thereof, and bear
ing Interest not exceeding 8 per csnlam per annum,
payable semi-oonoaUy In lawful money, and may
receive at par therrfor the lawful money of the
United States, Treasury notes, certificates of in
oebtedneav, orcerlificatea of deposit, issued under
any act of Congress: and the Secretary of the
Treasury, lu addition to the total amount
of . bonds authorized by the first and
second sections of this act. ehall issue at
par, in redemption of any outstanding notes, cer-'
llficaies of deposit, or certificates of indebtedness
of the United Slates bonds, similar to tho«e there
inbefore in this second section authorized, in de
nomination of leas than SIOO. or ofiike denomi
nation similar to those authorized by the first sec
tion. and payable five years from date, with Inte
rest ac six per centum. hnd tho Secretary of the
Treasury is further authorized to issue in lieu of
any hoods hereafler authorized by loan, and not
now issued inpntsnauce thereof,bonds similar and
of tfce denomination hereby authorized. All Trea
sury notes other than United States notes, shall
cease to be a legal render In the payment of public
or private.lndebtedness on and after the first day
of October, ISM, and no Treasury notes made
iecal tender other than United States notes shat)
hereafter be issued or re-lesned; nor shall the
total amount of United States notes Issued, or to
be issued, ever exceed sloo,<oo.oou. and such ad
ditional sum not exceeding $50,000,030, as may be
temporarily required for ihejredemption of a tem
poral; loan.
Mr. POMEROY said that tbo present op*
predation npon gold Is not tbe result of
speculation, and Is not to be obviated by
temporary,expedients, but by a return, In
practice as well as In theory, to policy of
gold values established In 18C3. With’the
amount of paper money in circulation, tbe
Issuing ot interest-bearing nptes would add
nothing to tbe aggregate value of paper
money, and could only work mischief. Tbe
House policy Of 1803, of adhering to gold
values, must be adhered to, or the theory
advocated by tbe Chairman of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means (Mr. Stevens,
of Pa.,) adopted, namely, repudiating tbo
payment of interest In gold, and relying
entirely npon tbe issue or Government pa
per. The effect of the present inflation must
Boon become seen to tbe masses of the peo
ple. Tbe fatal mistake of the Secretary of
the Treasury was in abandoning the popular
six per cent 5-30 loan, and attempting to
float alive per cent bond, and upon its fail
ure, resortiugjto interest-bearing legal ten
der, and on the part of Congress not speed*
ily supplying an ell] dent system of taxa
tion. It'was, however, still possible by ad
hering to correct natural laws to restore
tbe credit of,the country to a healthy con
dition.
Mr. STEVENS, of Pa., said ho could not
agree with tbe majority of the Committee of
TFays and Means, and hcnco be had offered a
substitute for the first section of the biU.
The question having been*taken, tbe sub
stitute of Mr. POMEROY for the second
section of tho bill, as given above, was
adopted, by yeas 65, nays 42.
Mr. STEVENS, white advocating tho
amendment, said that those who attribute
tho : rite in gold to gambling are poor states
men. of passing the gold bill to re
strain speculations, it would be better to
takeaway tbe demand for gold,* for no MU
conld reduce it a cent. The Secretary of the
Treasury had said, in his wisdom, that tbe
principal of the 5-20’s is payable in cole, but
the Courts in three States bad not so decided.
Mr. SPAULDING, of Ohio, briefly
replied to Mr. Pomeroy, stating that the
Committee of Wavs and Means had faithfully
perlormt-d their duty in providing the bills
necessary for revenue, and then expressed
the 'opinion that all the trouble arose from
tbe extraordinary demand for gold, for gold
is not now currency, lu ltC2, the banks fall
ing to loan the Government money; we were
driven to the necessity of Issuing legal ten
ders. No system ever worked better In this
or any other country, and he supposed that
specie payments would not be resumed for
ten years to come.
During the great Napoleonic war the bank
of England suspended specie paymenta-from
ITOv* to 1823. whoever looks for a more
speedy resumption in this country was, In
his judgment, unwise and studied history
to but little profit. He deprecated the pre*
etnt policy ot paying the‘interest of the
public debt in gold, and asserted that it this
should continue with an increase of debt
tbe Government would falL It was a fatal
policy, which rests like an incubus upon ns,
and gold would continue to go np, as he
lodu- agOi predicted, until the Government
cannot procure the coin. It was to save the
country front repudiation that he then ex
plained the character of the amendment,
which was to authorize tbe borrowing of
$400,000,000, and to issue therefor coupon or
registered bonds of the United States, re
deemable at tbe pleasure of the Government
after any period not less than five nor more
than forty years, and If deemed expedient,
made payable at any period not more than
twenty years from date, payable in coin.
Such bonds are to be of aneb denominations
as the Secretary of the Treasury shall direct,
not less than SSO, and bear an annd d Inter
est not exceeding eight per cent, pajable
semi-annually In currency.
