THE ■WAR. No general nr important army movement or battle has oeeured during the last week. Public attention has been centered on Farra gut’s movement against Mobile and Sheridan's operations in the Shenandoah Volley. Both of these as far as heard from have been very successful. We have had nothing in the way ■of news* from Sherman for some days, except that he is shelling Atlanta. There is nothing important from Grant. AItMY OF THE POTOMAC. We are not informed as to whether this army is making a new mine or concocting some other scheme to destroy the enemy’s ■works. Since the late unsuccessful assault no important movement has taken place. On the morning *of the 9th. A Te-rible Explosion Occured just off City Point, caused by the Allowing up of the ordnance boat of the army of the Potomac, By this unfortunate occur rence, several vessels lying in the river were •either shattered or sunk, 'the government wharf and warehouse were destroyed, a train of cars demolished, two hundred men killed and wounded and two millions of government property destroyed. It is supposed that the careless handling of percussion shells was the cause of the disaster. The First Intimation Of the accident to those in the vicinity (at least to those >who were (fortunate,to escape more serious injury,) was a stunning concus sion, which caused most-of them to tall in stantly to the ground, accompanied with a sound which some compare to the discharge of a cannon close to each ear, a sound that struck them like a great sea wave, and was felt as well as heard; and simultaneously with this, a perfect hail storm of shot, bullets, timbers, everything conceivable filling the air around'them. How it Appeared, Those who witnessed it from a distance de scribe itas a spectacle of fearful magnificence.' A dense volume of smoke suddenly over spread the locality, with a shapeless cloud, from which leaps high into the air a collossal tower of flame with ( overhanging sides, from whence shoot out numberless interal corrus cations, jets of smoke and tongues of tire. Next? comes the deafening crash of the re port, and then over .the water and the land, within the radius of more than a quarter of a mile, is seen the descending shower of de bris, including projectiles of various kinds, shattered plank.and beams of timber, bolts of iron and things innumerable and inde scribable, mingled with fragmentary mem bers of mangled human bodies. Soon the smoke clears away and reveals the scene of ruin. Menivho were suddenly interrupted in their quiet labors along the wharf, awoke ns if from a dream, and were surprised to find them selves living while everything around them was heaved into a chaotic mass. . The Wreck. The immense Government store-house, several hundred feet in length, extending close alongside the wharf, is completely smashed up, with-the exception of a small portion at the lower end. A section of the wharf ope hundmiL,kid fifty feet Mengthis, wrenched from their .places. One barge is sunk, and two others blown to pieces. A frame.building across the railroad, and the street in which was the Post Offiqe, and the offices'"of Adams’ Express Company and of the Harbor Master, are shattered to pieces, and a hquse near by, occupied as a sutler’s store, is demolished. -The tents of various dealers are overturned as if by a .hurricane, and their contents promiscuously scattered. And all over the place the ground is thickly Btrewed with 'the fragments of the general wreck, among which are found here and there arms, legs, heads, and undistinguishable fragments of human flesh and bone. Official Gazette. The following, in reference to the explosion : is from Secretary Stanton’s official Gazette: Washington, Aug. 11,10 B. IT.—To Major- General Dix, New York.—A despatch from Grant, just received, reports the casualties by the explosion at City Point,- on the 9th hast., as follows:—Killed—Twelve enlisted men, two citizens,employees,and one civilian, not employed by the Government, and thirty eight colored laborers. Wounded—Three commissioned officers, four enlisted men, fif teen civilians employed by the Government, and eighty-six colored laborers. Besides these there were eighteen others wounded, soldiers and citizens not belonging about the ■wharf. The damage to property was large; but I have not the means of reporting it. The names of the killed and wounded have not been reported to the Department. The cause of the explosion has not been ascertain ed. A movement up the James, On the afternoon of the 13th, 'a body of our troops embarked on transports at City Point, and moved up the river during the night; and, under cover of ‘the fire of the gun-boats, had effected a landing near Dutch Gap. The object of this movement is stated to be the dislodgmerit of a considerable force of the enemy, who had intrenched themselves on the fiver, and possibly, also, a reconnois ance to ascertain what troops Lee has before Richmond, and if he is sending any consider able reinforcements to Early. GENERAL SHERMAN’S ARMY. There, is'nothing neW from Sherman. What we have is mere details of events that transpired sorpe time ago. An Artillery Duel. On the thirtieth there was an artillery .duel between the enemy on the right and the 20th Corps. From ob&sionaT firing during the night it opened into volleys at daylight, -with sharp musketry, which produced the impres sion that a serious engagement was progress ing on that portion of the line. Later in the day the Ist and 3d Division of Hooker’s old corps charged and captured the first line of the Rebel rifle-pits, with 103 prisoners, all Georgia militia, and 134 guns left by the pickets in their flight. Several Rebels were killed in the charge, but our loss was very slight. _ . s ’ In anticipation pf an attempt to reestablish their picket line during the night, two regi ments were placed in an ~ambush, so as to give, them a warm reception if they should appear. As there was no unusual demonstra tion during the night, it is probable they did not make the attempt to recover their lost ground. Our advanced pickets are now able to keep the enemy’s batteries quiet, where before they have been very annoying to our men. . Official Report of the Attack of July 22d: Major-Gen. Sherman, .in transmitting the following officialxeport of Gen. Logan to Gen. Halleck, says: . : " Although the number of dead Rebels s-: ‘mi s excessive, he is dispose cl to give - lull credit-m the report: that- our loss was only a.fifll in killed, wounded anil missing; the enemy's dead atom! on the field nearly equaled that number, viz: 3,220:" Headquarters Department and Army op tiie Tennessee, Before Atlanta. Ga., July 24,1864. General-. I have the honor to report the following general summary of the result of the attack of the enemy’on this army on the 22d inst: Total loss in killed, wounded and missing, 3,521, and 10 pieces of artillery. We have buried and delivered to the enemy, under a flag of truce sent in by them, in front of the 3d Division of the 17th Chrps, 1,000 of their killed. The number of their dead in front of the 2d Division of the same Corps, in cluding those on the ground not now occur pied by our troops, Gen. Blair reports, will swell the number of their dead on his front to 2,000. The number of their dead, buried in front of the 15 th Corps up to this hour, is 360, and the commanding officer reports that at least a 3 many more are yet unburied, burying parties being still at work., The number of dead buried in front of the 16th Corps was 422. We have over 1,000 of their wounded in our hands, the larger number of wounded being carried oft' during the night, after the engagement, by them. We captured IS, stand of colors, and have them now. We also captured 5,000 stand of arms. The at tack was made on our lines seven times, and was seven times repulsed. Hood’s and Hay dee’s corps and Wheeler’s cavalry engaged us. We have sent to the rear 1,000 prisoners, in cluding 33 commissioned officers of high rank. We still occupy the- field, and the troops are in fine spirits. A detailed and full report will be forwarded as soon as completed. Kecapitulation —Our total loss, 3,521. Ene my’s dead thus far reported buried or de livered to them, 3,220.

To Major-Gen. W. T. Sherman, Major-Gen. Com’dg Military Division of the Mississippi. Gen- Stoneman’s Raid. Last week we mentioned thfe fact that Geh. Stoneman had started from the main body of Sherman’s army on an expedition towards Macon, Ga. We give the following particu lars, furnished by the correspondent of' the Cincinnati Commercial. His letter is dated August 3d, About ten days ago, the cavalry belonging to this army, marching in three columes, under command of Gens. Stoneman, Garrard, and Ed. McCook, left here intending to form a junction at a point, as nearly as I can ascertain, about twenty miles south of Atlanta, and on the Macon Bailroad. The column under Gen. McCook, about 2,000 in number, was obliged, starting from the right wing, to cross the Chattahoochee, near the railroad, go round north of the river, and again cross it below where the Bebel cavalry were posted. Everything progressed favorably till after, the command had crossed the West Point Bail road: no opposition was encpuntered worth mentioning, and there wais good promise of success. At Fayetteville, or, more exactly, Loyejoy’s Station,' on the Macon Bailroad, Gen. McCook learned that there was en camped a large train of supplies, and he de termined to capture it. In this he was com pletely successful. Coming upon it in the dead of night, he took it completely by sur prise, and riding through it, distributed his men among the wagons, and at*a signal each cut down a wagon and fired it. The destruc- W»gmisr<somnlete.™Kimduip,da&i “nduSfile stores for officers, such as wines and choice provisions, were burned, and 300 prisoners were taken while asleep. A large number of these prisoners were commissioned officers; one a Major-General and several Brigadiers. I could learn the names of none of these ; but, since they have all been retaken it signifies little. Late accounts of the capture of General Stoneman and failure, of both expeditions have already been published in our columns. FA&BAGUTS ATTACK on the ItiariiT. - FLEE! in mobile bay. On the sth inst,, Admiral Farragut with a fleet of eighteen war ships' passed the: rebel forts at the entrance of Mobile Bay, and Bucceded in destroying all the enemy’s fleet, except one ship, and capturing Fort Gain'eß, Fort Powell being blown up. The following is the first news of this great naval victory, which reaches us through rebel sources. Wax Department, Aug. 10,1864 —10.30 p. m. ToMajor-6eneralDix, Ikw York: The following report of the success of our operations at Mobile, extracted from the Richmond Enquirer of this morning, has just been received by this Department from Major-General Butler. E. M. Stanton, Sec. of War. “Mobile, Aug. B.— Friday night Lieut. Colonel Williams, commanding Fort Powell, evacuated, and blew up the fort yesterday, and to-day the enemy are shelling Fort Gaines. The people of Mobile are all ready for the fray. Great confidence prevails. The people are satisfied with the conduct of Xieuts. Buchanan, Maury, and Burnet, of the Navy.” SECOND DISPATCH, “ Mobile, Aug. B.— lt is painfully humili ating to. announce the shameful surrender of Fort Gaines, at 94 o’clock this morning, by Col. Charles Anderson, of the 21st Ala bama Regiment. This powerful work was provisioned for six months, and with a gar rison of six hundred men. He communica ted with the enemy’s fleet, by flag of truce, without the sanction of Gen. Page. Gen. Page inquired by signal what ; his purpose was but received no answer. His attention was attracted by signal guns. Page repeat edly telegraphed: ‘Hold bn to your fort.’ The same night visited Fort Gaines, and found Anderson on board the Yankee fleet the terms of capitulation. He left peremptory orders for Anderson on his return not to surrender the fort, and reliev ed him of his command. Fort Morgan sig naled this morning but. no answer was re ceived, except the hoisting of the Yankee flag over-the ramparts of Fort Gaines. An derson’s conduct is officially pronounced in explicable and shameful. The Navy-De partment received a telegram yesterday morning, announcing that the Morgan, the only gunboat of our fleet that was not either sunk, beached or captured, has succeeded' in getting over the bar and reaching Mobile.” The steamer Creole from New Orleans brings the first accounts of the engagement as furnished by Union witnesses of the fight. From the numerous statements we condense the following: Passing the Forts. About eight o’clock on the morning of the 6th the attack commenced, the iron clads Tecumseh, Manhattan, Winnebago, and Chickasaw leading, cloßely followed by the wooden vessels Hartford, Monongahela, Tennessee, Metacoinet, Oneida,-Itasca, &c., eighteen in all, lashed two and two, in the PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 18, 1864. same manner as when the Port Hudson batteries were passed. The Brooklyn was the first following the Monitors and the Hartford (ilagshipj second. The Bichmond,: Lackawana, Ossipee, Monongahela, Oneida,j Galena, Port Boyal, Metacomet, Octorara,, Seminole and Itasca followed. When the' fleet was fairly under way the line headed directly for Fort Morgan, the enemy open ing a terrific fire from Forts Morgan and Gaines, and assisted by the guns trom the rebel ram Tennessee and four other vessels at the entrance of the bay. The remainder of the acoount we give in the words of Admiral Farragut’s official re. Fort Morgan opened on ns at ten minutes paßt- seven, and soon after this the action became lively. As we steamed up the main ship channel there was some-difficulty ahead and the Hartford passed on ahead of the Brooklyn. At forty minutes past seven the monitor Tecumseh was struck by a torpedo, and sunk, going down rapidly and carrying with her all her officers and crew, with the exception of the pilot and eight or ten men who were saved by a boat that I sent from the Metacomet, alongside of me. _ The Hartford had passed the forts before eight o’clock, ajd finding myself waked by the rebel gunboats, I ordered the Metacomet to cast off and go in pursuit- of them, one of which, the Selma, she succeeded in captur ing. All the vessels had passed the forts by half-past eight o’clock, but the rebel ram Tennessee was still, apparently uninjured, in our rear. Signal was at onee made to all the fleet to turn agaifi and attack the ram, not only with guns but with orders to run her down at full speed. The Monongahela was the first that struck her ; though she may have injured her badly, yet she did not succeed in disabling her. The Lackawanna also struck her, but ineffectually, and the flag ship gave her a severe shock with her bow, ■and, as she passed, poured her whole port broadside into her—solid 9-inch shot and 13 pounds of powder—at a distance of not more than "twelve feet. The iron-clads were closing upon her, and the Hartford and the rest of the flset were bearing down upon her, when, at. 10 A. H., she surrendered. ;/ The rest 8£ the rebel fleet, viz, the Morgan and Gaines, succeeded in getting back under the protection of Fort Morgan. This ter minated the action of to-day. Admiral Buchanan sent his sword, being himself badly wounded with a compound fracture of the lpg, which, it is supposed, will have to be amputated. Having many of my men wounded, andi the Surgeon of the Tennessee being very] desirous to have Admiral Buchanan remov-i ed to a hospital, I Bent a flag of truce to the] commanding officer of Fort Morgan, Briga-' dier-General Richard L. Page, to say that iff he would allow the wounded of the fleet, as' well as their, own, to be taken to Pensacola, where they could be better cared for than here, ,1 would send out one of our vessels, provided she would be permitted to return, bringing back nothing that she did not takh out. General Page consented, and the Meta cotnet was despatched. The list of casualities on our part, as far, ascertained, are as follcjvs: KilUd. Flagship Hartford. Brooklyn Lackawanna Oneida Monongnhela....... Metacoitiet Ossippee Galena Richmond In £ll —pjUitf hun dred and seventy men. i On the Selma were taken about ninetl officers and men. Of the officers I havi only heard the names bf two, viz., Coml mander Peter H. Murphy and Lieutenant Executive Officer J. H. Comstock, who was killed. " I will send a detailed despatch by the first opportunity. Very respectfully, yqur obedient servant, D. Gy Farragut, Rear Admiral, Commanding Western Gulf Squadron. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C. THE MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION. Since Gen. Sheridan took command of. this departmaht formerly commanded by Hun ter, the rebels have been compelled to forego their raiding and look about for a safe re treat to the main body of their army. Sher idan is still after them and, if he can come up with them, will no doubt, compel them to fight. Gen. Grant has been up in the valley, no-doubt directing affairs, which may in some sense account for the favorable change of the military aspect in that quar ter. ... AveriU's Vietory. Gen. Averill attacked the combined forces of McCausland, Johnson, Gilmore, and Me- “ Neil on the morning of the 7th, and after a H spirited fight completely routed their entire al command, capturing all of their artillery four pieces, a vast'quantity of small-arms, 400 horses and equipments,. and 420 prisoners, > including 6 field and 32 company officers, hi McCausland, with his broken and demoral- s , ir.ed command, has fled to the mountains. Our loss was comparatively small—7 killed and 21 wounded. Gen. MoCausland himself barely escaped by flying into the mountains. , Gen. Averill pursued the scattered rem- nol nant of the Rebel force for twenty-four miles, capturing many of the fugitives.
