THE ADVANCE OF GRANT TO THE SOUTHSIDB OOMMBNOBD—HEAVY FIRING HEARD ON THE NIGHT OF-THE 29TH —PROBABLE BATTLE- —PE- OULIAR REBEL “ UNION MEN." Roiiiii. ■ [Special Correspondence of The Press, T ■ Abmy of tee .Tames, Before Richmond, March 80,1868, THE GItBAT WORK COMMENCBP. Yesterday was a day of anxiety to those who wore aware that General Grant proposed to move upon the enemy’s works, not so much from, fear of the result, as the faot that all seemod quiet along the lines. About ten o’clock last night the dash of ar tillery, with Its rumbling 'report, Indicated that the ball was open. A VITAL POINT. STRUCK ON THE 29TH. It can do longer bo regarded as contraband to an nounce, If you have sot already boon inf'ormod.that a grand movable column was put In motion on tie 27 th instant. Never did soldiers strike their tents with more pleasant spirits of assurance or greater confi dence. 1 bThe long-looked for advance came, but feund them cheerfullyready. A vital point was probably assaulted last nightj If not carried by them, will most likely he : this morning, , which, WiMioi|t doubt, will bethe beginning of successive victcrfcs ih Virginia. As there has been no firing hoarfilfneo daybreak, lot ns suppose the victory is lx* lll #- rathsr than delayed by the rain which commenced about three o’clock, this morning, and has flntinued in showers for thepast five hours. / ■ ' STOEV Or A “ UXIOK SSAN.” ~ Epico eo many influential persons, who, in the cays; or.,the rebellion,werg, its most violent Brfportera, and most venomous against the Union, F'“ c rats whose instinots lead them to avoid dan j£r < deserting the Confederacy, It is nothing more ■isn proper that the acts of such should be placed Japos record, that the authorities may judge whether Bhey acted under constraint, or .willingly espoused Fthe cause of treason. In this vicinity there Is an Individual named Albert Aiken, 1 who has had the good fortune to residd In the finest’druling along the banks of the ;James; whose cultivated farms were extensive, soil rich, and negroes plenty. When the war broke out Mr.' Aiken, who, In all pro bability, belonged to the F. f; V*s—it would be a ourlosity In this State to find an Indlyidual who does not urge his claims to that distlnodbh—was one of the most rabid rebels In Virginia. He- ' himself.above others, for his umnerclfr of free colored persons for their loyal . flag. At Deep Bottom, about one mill below Aiken’s Landing, on the left banl river, resided quite a number of ihdus'trlou color, previous to the war; who supported themselves by fishing and farming In their respective seasons. The timid policy of the Government with reference W negroes was well understood by these people when McClellan was In command of the armies. They purposely abstained from having any com munication with our fleet when It first amended the James. When the rebels began to put torpedoes into the river no one labored harder in the execution of this nefarious undertaking than Mr. Aiken. In company with his brother James, who was then In the rebel service, and a Captain Davis, he not only submerged these ;infemal machines!'but made their, existence the plea, for .continued persecution upon the loyal peopio at Deep Bottom. , After a great, many pretexts, he had men! women, and children seieed By a squadron of Cavalry and carried to Blob m°n<! upon a gunboat, upon charge or giving in formation to our navy on the occasion of Its first ' sdsit up the river. The soldiers of course plun dered the, houses, and left them all without an Inmate to look, after their furniture. Mr.Alken> in his zeal for the rebel cause, upon his oath, charged Robert Fagan, Wm. Soott, and Edward Bowman with having communicated with our fleet and giving the officers Information. There is abun dant testimony in the vicinity to commit Mr. Alton of perjury. After an imprisonment of a few weeks the men, women, and children were discharged, ifiit Ws insatiable desire to harass these- loyal people .did not cease. . -Through his influence ha procured an order which prohibited them from returning : within two miles of their homes, which- they had ;.aceumulated;by honest industry.- These deserted? -houses, by which Mr. Aiken passed dally to -perse nally superintend the putting of torpedoes into the river, had no influehoe.-nponjhts stony hoirt, though theirlnmates were,. through his instrumentality, made wanderers, In the course of time General Butler, With his force?, incorporated Mr. Aiken’s ■house within his lines.: Instead of being consistent and following his retreating comrades In.crime into Richmond,he remains andproclalms himself a Union man. Even under such circumstancea, wh!la wear ing the loyal mask, he cquld not control-his venom ous disposition against the-negroes for what he pro claimed, in thoOourt I-i-anso-atßtciinioiui, to-be 1 .their disloyalty to the South. A 3 incredible as It may seem, Mr. Aiken, after being-the ringleader in placing torpedoes in the river to blowup our gun boats—after having,-by a*mlUtary,order, driven all .the colored familiesifrom,their homes- for fear they would point out the Infernal machines, to our naval ■ officers, and after having had some of them severely l punished for returning for some of; their property—? this specimen of Southern chivalry actually points out to the' naval fleet the deserted, houses' as those of the persons who submerged the tor pedoes, and who fan away, on the approach of the -fleet, for fear of punishment. The sailors immediately applied the torch to the humble homes of the loyal blacks, and they were all-consumed. Gen. Butler; whom rebels never cheated, only took one look at this Indivi dual, which was sufficient to. consign him to one of the cells in the Ripraps, whore he remained until General Ord assumed command of . this depart* ment. Mr. Aiken, of course, annouhoes himself:As a Union man. There are plenty more like him in Richmond, who will soon be fugitives and outcasts from their native land. ENT OE -JIG. INS, ARD, Mr. Atken did the eanse'of ilia Union all tie harm he could while It was In his power; and wronged tie loyal people of tils part of Virginia to the extent of his malignant disposition. Those persons should not be made to sutler without some restitution, and tie most becoming under tie circumstances, would be tie sequestering of suffi cient amount of lis lands for thoscwiioso homes were reduced to;'ashes upon his false representa tions. In tils connection It may be appropriate to state that Mr. Aiken with his own hands Infiioted a frightful gash with a shovel upon the head of Whi. Scottj an old.man some 55 years, of ago, for declining to work upon Browry’s Bluff fortiiioatlons In consequence of tie infirmities accompanying lis ago. It is expected that many great rebels wIU escape tie punishment due tboir offences, but It Is ; to be loped that Mr. Albeit Aiken will receive a proportion commensurate with 11s guilty record. • .

The United States Van Carty a Bister War Debt than England. [From the Sew fork Tribune.] -i How England carried tar war debt of 1816; and bow Ebo srowrlch under! ts bnrdehs,and rioter and richer, til! she Is tbe richest oountry in the Old tVerifi, ail men know. That debt. Inscribed in Her •Exchequer books, was nominally $918,000,000. The New Worid hs s forgotten that, in the ewenty-two years of her wars with France, England’ expended upon her armies, her nary, and her Continental snbsidiesj.B6,47l,ooo,ooo, derived from taxation.’ Her war debt should, of course - , be charged-with this amount; and ; then It would have stood the stupen dous column in; national finance Of $6,887,000,000 more than three times as vast as our own war debt, jnst at the end of the rebellion. : In 1816, one year arterthepeace treaty of Paris, when the British debt had attained Its maximum, ■ the population of Great Bri- ain was 19,000,000. In 1864, the population of the loyal States of America war 25,000,000. In] 8 64. the value of the property of Great Britain was estimated at $10,450,000,000. The property of. the; loyal States lit' that year Was esti mated at $13,395,000,000, That l year’s"’ products lit Great Britain amounted to $T, 087,ooo,ooo;: Those of the loyal States for the same year : were $3,600,*- 000. COO. This Comparison gives us Americans the advantage over our pushing cousins of England of 30 per cent, in population; 28 per oont. in property, and 110 per cent; in annual" products. . “ Good as British OoesoIs,” eh 1 ; That financial figure of speech is ooming ’to he modified somewhat:* The world will by-and-by say “As good as United States Bonds.” ■ ’ " ■ -ZINC, ; Another satisfactory liltle contrast. The British Ministry was obliged to resort immensely to com pnlsory contributions from the people of Great Bri tain to carry on the struggle against the French. Sixty-three per cent of their war expenditure was derived from taxation. Regard the voluntary con tributions of th«*Amer!cans to their' war for de mocracy, and republicanism. Here, within a few dayß of the fifth year of a war, compared with which British wars have been bat "'election' riots, see'how the people subscribe to; the $6O and *lOO issues of their Government’s twelfth loan— Oiajaboring peo ple—who furnish the armies of the TTnited'Scates with soldiers -whilo furnishing Its treasury with money. $5O iSiO $lOO ST3ESOEJPTIONB TO SKVEK-THIETT Feb, Feb, Feb, Feb, Feb, Feb; 7.

The prisoners are furnished neither be*nor bedding, the armies ini the field requiring all tie blankets that oan be raised. The daily ra tioi| .consist, on an accurately ascertained average, of tjn;ounoeB of unbolted meal, semi- baked, and an average of tbreeounccs of, meat, sometimes baoon, sometimes beef, but invariably dirty and generally putijd. The food Is served.out by negroes ; no cans or prates are furnished the prisoners ;Juo soap, no mea'ps of washing are afforded; and during the oomuandership of Richardson, to ask for anything was ( fpbe placed In a cell, or, if.already .to one, to bo ironed. Often in dealing out the meat the ne gro* would stop to rub the worms and skippers off their hands ere plunging them into the filthy tubs [again for another, prisoner’s rations.

THE PEOPLE IN BIOHUOSD AHD THEIB SBKTI There are two kinds of people now in Richmond-: original JJnlon .men of the minor Botts school, and a. vast number of Major General Sherman’s making. The latter are, most generous just now to Union prisoners In Castle. Thunder.;, Their motive for this sudden kindness is very apparent. Theirs Is a death-bed repentance. They want some' one to .bear .witness, that they have tended well the wants of some starving, 111-treated loyal man. ■ There are more Union men to,dayin Blohmond than there .were In. Now York city last November in proper tion to population. The population of Richmond Is now one hundred and thirty, odd thousand. It literally consists of boys under seventeen, disabled soldiers, old men over forty-five, and women of all ages.v It la generally admitted by: all that the Confederacy is:“ gone up,” and this feeling has ex tended so far that the senior and junior reserves of- Virginia and North Carollna are, to a man, almost all Leagners.Thls.ls an Indubitable fac f, This feeling -s evenpartaken of by the aoiivedetenders—the sob .fliers of the “Confederacy.” Our informant says that among all the.Oonioderate soldiers he met In Castle Thunder since, the fall of Charleston he can now re collecfc bufc two who confessed a hope of success and faith in the future; but for the faith that abode In them even.theyadmltted they could assign no res son* saye tnat ; the Confederacy: ought; to - succeed; The lest of the soldiers all their desire to re* turn to thfcir faiDlUes, and who had, non© would ask him what chance they had to obtain em ployment up North, whether they would be wall receijed*. and .generally ended by telling him in confidence that from their first picket post: the? would go oyer and take the oath. Colonel Sterling '?tog l7 ;iate colonel of the 2d Kentucky Raukerl; came; upi ' with his the truce boat last Sunday, and on Monday took the oath'of allegiance at An' napolis. All deyotion to the cause' per se has died out. ■ - ... . THOUGHTS A3JD ACTS OF THB-BULEBB.

IMITATIVE SATBI.I,"ITEa. iOf eonrse, where the rulers; constantly endoavof to 11 make,” their satellites are not slow in imi tating.. An a man need now do In Elohmond to be placed In the Castle Is to wear deoont elothes, In all examinations thefirst question asked the prisoner is: “ How much money have yon got 1” That an swered, he never leaves the Castle till he has paid the last of it to Katcllflb or some other lawyer, who ’ shares gains with Carrington, the provost marshal, and Baxter, the commissioner. The following scene, which is literally true, and beautiful from its very simplicity, will serve to illustrate tho present feel ing V>f the commissioned officers of the rebel army: Scans—GnorS-room in Raleit/h, North Carolina— Time, mid-day. _ .

Prise ner moves off with guard ; as .he is turning the provost plucks a new hat from his unfortunate. head, and throwing his. own old on© away, pots the prisoner's in Its place. This fellow, Waters, is in no wise worse than Carrington at Richmond; or than any other officer in that service that our iaforxawit met with.

The Paris correspondent of the New York Times, writing on March 14th, refers as follows to the deat h and burial of the Duke de Momy: : The Duke was Interred yesterday 1 wltihinost ex traordinary pomp,- : The State paid the expenses of the funeral. About fifteen thousand soldiers, of all arms, took part In the procession, commanded bv Marshal llagnan, a general of division, and two generals of brigade. The rest of .the procession, .•which was three miles long, was composed of the t great bodies of State and of depntattons from -vari ous associations. . The body reposed in state In the grand hall of the Legislative Palace, the funeral service was performed at the church of the Ma-' delelne, and the body was burled In thdoseme tery of Pire-Ta-Chalse. The death of M. De Mor ay has produced such a sensation in all classes ' -or society, the lamentations at the loss the Em peror haß sustained were 1 so general;’ that the imperialist writers have." received orders to try. and react against this sentiment. It will net do to allow people to believe that d&th of any one man can weaken the Government or embarrass Its regular movements. As Is usual In European communities, ; when a man.of such; eminent position dies'suddenly, .all sorts of bizarre reports are put In circulation as to the cause; 1 The most persistent one is that the pain in the side was the resnlt of a sword thrust received In V a duel with Marshal Oan roberi, with whose young and beautifulEngllsh wife M. De Motny had been too gallant. Of oourse there is ho foundation for. this report‘ other than supposition.; . The deceased had liver complaint, to' which.was added bronchitis, and-thess, operating on - a body exhausted by labor and constant mental ex citement, achieved an easy victory. It Is generally agreed that the presidency of-the Corps Leglsiattf, loft vacant byhls death; will fall to one of the four following gentlemen :■ Messrs. Barocho, Magno, walewski, or Fersigny. ■ - ■ ... , The annual report of,the.New /Fork.Commls-' sloners of Emigration for the year ending December 31, ISB4, Is published.

Mr. James B. Nellson, tbo inventor of the hot blast,'an improvement of the greatest importance in the manufacture of iron, died In Scotland last month,. Being engaged in the gas works, his at tention was directed to the smeltingofiron, and be satisfied' himself that a vastly increased, and im proved effect of the forced blast could bo attained by heating the air in its passage from the blower to the The hot blast revolutionised the iron trade, and made railways possible in an economical sense. In 1829, when it was introduced, the produce of the Scotch smelting furnaces was 29,000 tons a year; in 1864 it was 1, 160, 000 : tons. And the prloe was over A 7 per ton in ,1828, and in lBß4it was J 62 17s. 3d. Probably the most of this inoroase and Saving is due to the hot blast. The musical oritic of the Tribune, speaking of Gott£ohalk J B iafewell concerts, now in progress In New Tork, says: “There can be no doubt that the Dno-playing by Gottsohalk and Harry Sanderson is the mosMffeotiYP thing of the bind ever presented to the public.
