June 3. | A despatch from General Grant, dated this morning, June 2, at Bethsaida Church, ' 7 o'clock a. m , has just been received. ft states that "yesterday morning an at tack was ordered tj be made on our left at Cold Harbor by the Gth Corps, and the I troops under Smith, Warren, Burnside, j and Hancock, being held in readiness to , advance in their respective fronts, the at- : tack was made with spirit about sp. m , continuing until after dark, and resulting in our carrying the enemy's works on the right of the 6th Corps, where we still hold I them, and also the first line in front of, Smith. The latter, however, were com manded by another line in the rear, which made those carried untenable. "Iho eneruy made repeated assaults on each of the corps not engaged in the main assault, but were repulsed with loss in ev ery instance. "Several hundred prisoners were taken, hut I cannot say what number, nor esti mate either our or the enemy's casualties. 'During the night the enemy made as saults to regain what they had lost, but i failed.' ' ; No dispatches from any other quarter ' have reached the Department to day. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. June 3—lo p. m. A despatch, dated yesterday at 7.30 p m. has this evening been received trom Gen. Sherman. He reports that on Wedoes- ; day, June Ist, MePherson jnoved up from ! Dallas to the point in frout of the enemy at New Hope church. On Thursday,; June Schofield and Hooker having been j shifted to the extreme left, pushed forward toward Marietta. At the same time Stone man s and Garland s cavalry were sent to A1 toon a Pass, which they reached and I held possessiou of. These movements, the despatch ay have secured that Pass, which was consid ered a formidable ope. Movements are reported by the despatch- ! as in progress which are not proper now lor publication. Nothing has been heard from General Grant since his despatch at seven o'clock | yesterday, and telegraphic communication has been delayed by a violent storm on the J eninsula yesterday and last night, and cannot be re established before some time to-morrow. E. M. STANTON, J Sec'y. of War. June 4—lo a. m. | Dispatches from Gen. Grant's Headquar ters, dated 3 o'clock yesterday (Friday) afternoon, have just been received. No operations took place on Thursday, j At half past 4 o'clock this (Friday; morning Gen. iirant made an assault on the enemy's lines, of which he makes the following report: * We assaulted at 4.30 this morning, driv ing the enemy within his intrenchments at all points, but without gaining any de cisive advantage. Our troops now occupy a position close to the enemy, in some places within fifty yards, and are remaining. Our loss was not severe, nor do I suppose the enemy to have lost heavily. We captured over 300 prisoners, mostly from Breckinridge. Another later official report, not from Gen. Grant, estimates the number of our killed and wounded at about 3,000. f Jhe following officers are amon the i killed; Col. llashell, 30th IVacoDtin:; Col. Porter, Bth New York, heavy artillery- Col. Morris, 66th New York. h ] Among the wounded are Ggn. R. O Tyler, seriously; will probably lose a foot • Col. M'Mahan, 164 th New York, Col Byrnes, 2Sth Massachusetts, probably mor- j .tally; Col. Brooks 53d Pennsylvania. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. June s—l p. m. A dispatch from Gen. Grant s headquart ers, dated at half past eight o'clock last night, has been received." It states that ' about 7 p. m. yesterday (Friday, June 3d) the enemy suddenly attacked Smith's ' brigade of Gibsons' division. The battle lasted with great fury for half an hour, and ' the attack was unwaveringly repulsed ! Smith's losses were inconsiderable. At G p. m. Wilson, with his cavalry, fell upon the rear of a brigade of Hcth's divi sion, which Lee had moved Bround to his Jeff, apparently with the intention of en- veloping Burnside. After a sharp but short conflict, W ilsnn drove them from their rifle pits in confusion. lie for k a lew prisoneis. He had previously fought with and routed Gordon's brigade of rebel cavalry. During these fights he lost sev eral officers—among them Colonel Preston, Ist Vermont Cavalry, killed; Col Benja min, Bth New York C'avairy, seriously wounded. General Stannard. serving in ; the 18th Corps, was severely wounded yesterday, (Friday.) "Our entire loss in killed, wounded and 1 missing, during the three days' operations around Cold Harbor, will not exceed, accord ing to the Adjutant General's report, 7,590. This morning (Saturday, June 4th) the enemy's left wing in front of Burnside was found to have been drawn in during the night. Col. Cessnuia, in command of 5,000 men, arrived here yesterday, having marched from Port Royal ' Telegraphic communication between Cherrystone and Fortress Monroe continues uninterrupted. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. June 6—7 a. m. j We have dispatches from Gen. Grant's ■ headquarters down to 6 o'clock last even ing, which state that there had been no fighting during the day. The enemy made an attack on Saturday night upon Hancock, Wright and Smith, but were everywhere repulsed. Gen. Hancock's lines were brought with in forty yards of the rebel works. The rebels were very busy on Saturdav constructing intrenchments on the west side of the Chickahoutiny, at Bottom Bridge, and threw a party across to the east side. A dispatch from General Sherman, da ted June 5, at half past 3 p ru., at Ala toona creek, states that the enemy, discov- j ering us moving around his right flank, abandoned his position last night, and marched off. General MePherson is moving to-day for Ackworth. Gen. Thomas is on the direct Marietta road, and Schofield on his right. It has been raining hard for three days, and the roads are heavy. An examination of the enemy's aband oned line of works here shows an immense line of works which I have thinned with less loss to ourselves than we have inflict ed upon them. 'lhe army supplies of forage and provi sions are ample. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. —Hon.

The Nashville (Tennessee) Union of a late date contains one of the best' arguments on the restoration of the Union we have yet seen, and we com mend its sentiments to those who seem j j to have hut one basis and one idea in | i bringing back peace. That paper | says: The pro-slavery Unionists, a verv | small and rapidly diminishing party, : labor under the preposterous delusion that when the Union shall be restored, the slave-holders will obtain all the ; ! guarantees they desire, in addition to j j all the old and cumbersome machinery j which the whole nation was formerly ; put under bonds 10 run for their ex-1 j elusive benefit. The only basis these j j conservative gentlemen can see is the ! ! protection of the slave property of j : their "Southern brethren." The peo : pie have had quite enough of this, and ! very generally think that an institu- j ! tion which demrnds the possession and j direction not only of the local Govern-; ment of the States where it exists, but ! all the other State Governments, and the Federal Government itself, is a | nuisance and imposition, and should be j | abated. For it is not enough for slave- j ry that it should control all the j slave States and the National Govern -1 ment, but every Governor. Legislature, and Sheriff from the Ohio river to the j Canada line, and the Atlantic coast must be an obsequious servant and slave-catcher for the slave-holder. ! There never can be a restoration of I the Union on such a basis as the revi val of the African Code. It is idle to | talk of harmonizing on the very ground ( of disunion. It is incomprehensible why any man who desires a reconstruction of the , Union, and the establishment of har mony between the various sections, should select as the basis of reeonstrue- ! tion the very thing about which there" has been for three generations the fiercest dispute, and which at least 27.000,000 out of 30,000,000 of the ; American people, to say nothing of all Christendom abroad, thoroughly de test. Do the pro-slavery Unionists hold slavery to be more valuable than the Union, that they ask that the Government shall be in future, as in the past, the servant instead of the master of that unpopular system? Slavery is to be protected, by new guarantees, if asked for, and all fugi tives are to be surrendered. Is that the preposition? Well we will consent to it when Jeff. Davis gives back to the . United States her 200,000 manly sons, who have lost their lives in quelling i this heinous rebellion against free Gov ernment. Never until then ! We ad vise our friends to bo quiet on the sub ject of slaver}' protection. The coun try has had a little too much of it already.. The day for such protection is past; we have paid a heavy price in ! blood tor that sort of work already, and do not care to repeat the exhausting process. There is one broad, elevated basis jof retention. which is as strong as adamant, and on which the people may ad securely stand. It is the principle which underlies our Government and . all its institutions. That principle is T REEDOM. Everybody admits that freedom is right as a principle, and nearly everybody admits that slavery is wrong as a principle. Now freedom and slavery are the warring elements which have brought about this eon test . Each is struggling for the mas tery. Which shall we take as the basis of harmony and restoration; the principle which everybody approves, or the principle which hardly any bod y j approves? Shall we adopt the method ot an oligarchy, and let slavery rule, or shall we adopt the method of democ racy, and let the majority rule? Shall the many yield to the few, or the few to the many? W hose interests, tastes, and prejudices, are to he consulted those of 300,000 persous, or those of 27,000,000? It is not in the nature of slavery to be at peace with anything. It is like the pike which is said to de vour all other ashes. Suppose slavery be reinstated in its old authority, what then? \\ ill we have peace or war, in consequence? Let us take Tennessee tor an example. A restoration of the State on the slavery basis would in r-tantlj revive an ultra pro-slavery* party throughout the Middle and Wes tern Divisions. No candidate could be elected, or appointed to any office, who was not intensely pro slavery. Slayery would be the only topic dis cussed iu the newspapers, or upon the stump. The odious laws of the old slave code, the more summary rules of Judge Lynch, wonld be enforced against every writer or speaker who shouid venture or question the justice or policy of slavery. It is also cer tain that every man who supported the present republican administration, either directly or indirectly, in a civil or military capacity, would be forever excluded from all positions of trust and profit by the slavery faction. Now, does any sensible loyal man desire to see lennessee restored to the Lnion in any such way as this, in which the elements of discord are all increased, and their fury aggravated instead of being lessened? One might as well try to cure a patient of a raging fever by making him drink boiling water, and hold red hot iron. The lust ot power, the thirst lor gain, the dis trust ot all interests except its own, and its consequent efforts to monopo lize all political power, would grow out ot slavery in future, just as they j did before, and would iu a brief space ' engender another rebellion, more dan gerous, because better planned, than the present one. We see but one safe I basis of restoration. It is the basis of freedom incorporated in our national edifice, approved by sage experience, and heartily applauded by the immense majority of the people. —A most witheringrebuke wasadmin ! istered to the whole copperhead tribe in the common wealth, by the late Judge Nill, of the Franklin Judicial District. That distinguished jurist and lamented i patriot, it appears, died childless, and ! | by a will executed some years ago, I made a liberal bequest to'a relatfve who is a native of Franklin county ' and still resides in the State; but bv : his will admitted to probate on Mori- j day last, he revoked the legacy ex- | pressly on the ground that the legatee j sympathizes with the traitors in arms against the government. Judge Nill was a War Democrat, and as con sistent in death as he was earnest in life, in his abhorrence of faithlessness ! to our sacred Nationality. GOOD MUSIC. —We are indebted to J. Marsh, 1102 Chestnut street, Phila delphia, for several fine pieces of sheet | music, among which are Grant's the Man, a new army song, fast gaining the popularity it deserves, Clara Day, | a ballad of great merit, which has al- i ready gone through several editions, and bids lair to become one of /Aeson ,T 9 of the times, besides the Loyal Schot tishe, Butler Quickstep and Johnny's !

Mr. Editor- :—The Republicans of this Sen- j atonal District will soon be called upon to select two of their number a9 candidates fr tFe office of btate Senator. It may be truly affirmed that the claims of our county for one of these candidates are equal to those of any county in the District. In view of these facts, allow me to recommend through your columns the name of D. W. WOODS, esq., ! as a suitable person to fill that responsible', and at the present time vitally important trust. I As a candidate he would be acceptable to the Republicans of the eDtire district, and if ' elected would make a faithful and zealous defender of the true interests of our country. < WATN*. | Conferee Meeting. i .*"\® Conferee* of the 17th Cungroesional i District, composed of Blair, Huntingdon, Cam bria and Mifflin, having uiet agreeable to ap pointment at the L-.gan House, Altouna, on the 31st of May, 1864. f;>r the purpose of electing Delegates to the Union National C-'ii tent inn to lie held at Baltimore on the , ith of June. 1861. the Convention organ* i ixed by electing Cvrus Jeffrie*.
