moved down upon him. Ho moved out upon them,

On the 23(j the Vermont brigade of the 18th. Divi

road, and obtained possession of it, with very little
effort or loss, but wore attacked immediately by an
oVerwkelming'rebcTLforce, and rcpitlsed before any

The enemy seem to have the movements
and arranged their linos' to completely surround the
whole brigade. This .accounts for. the very heavy
loss in prisouerfithat they are said to have suffered.
SHERIDAN'S CAVALRY—TUB BATTLE ON .
- ; TIIK JAMES RIVER. "■
The attack on Sheridan on tho 21th, while march
ing from White Housoto James river, was a very,
determined and bloody affair. The enemy know of
his preseneejat-White House, suspected his Inten
tion of marching, across to tho -James, and made
what they considered ample arrangements to cap
ture his guns, trains, and most of his command.
The full, details of the affair have not yet transpired,
but it is knc|vn that tbo.encmy fell upon the brigade
composing the roar, guard with great fury, aud at
first threw them into much confusion.
They inm¥diately rallied to cover the movement
of tho train,’prul held the enemy’s cavalry- and in
fantry In check until the balance of the command
could he brolght to their support, when a general
battle ensuiS between our mounted and dismounted
cavalry atidShe cavalry, infantry, and artillery on

fensive, aniSjrcpclied several of the most desperate
assaults thaticould possibly ho made.
His ligliEnttiSlery was brought,into play, and was
admirably served. The fighting was at short rango,
and grape aad canister were used with horrible ef
fect. At tae.ond of the conflict ho succeeded in boat
ing them-toff,'though groatly superior in number,
and resumetflns march to James river without tho
loss* of ft gnsrpr a wagon."
The wagon tsain alone-was six miles in length,
which,.addeil to our force of cavalry, .comprising
some six thgjisand horsemen, made a line of about
twenty miles, marching two, abreast.' To accom
plish this,'yfith a large force. of rebels in the roar,
required great . Skill and coolness on the part of
General Sheridan, and tho officers and men under
his command; but with tho aid of the gunboats the
affair wastaccomplishcd, with a loss in killed,

Our lines were to-day (Juno 24) advanced, about
balf a mile;and our troops now occupy tho breast
works held by tho enemy last night, and evacuated
by him early this morning.
The movements of the rebels have been of a mys
terious character of late,-and it is not yet definitely
ascertained what theyaredrivingat. Yesterday A,
I\ Hill’s and Longstreet’s forces were in our front,
hut by observations made by tho Signal Corps it is'
evident thatva genera! movement to our left has
been going, on to-day. Whether contemplating a

THE TERRIFIC ARTILLERY ATTACK ON GBN.
', i . smith.
About 7 A, M, on June AStk several rebel batteries
on the Bermuda Hundred sido of the river simulta
neously opened Are from tho heights upon the troops
in the level land immediately tu front of Peters
burg. Shells of Immense size were thrown at tho
rate of one every two seconds all' along our works,
shrieking awfully through the air and bursting with
a noise like ihundor.every where. Seldom; has such
an angry fire been heard) Having few pieces of ar
tillery which could copo with those used by the
enemy, there was no alternative for .General
Smith but to set these at work and quietly
wait until the fury of tho rebels should ex
haust itself.; Directing his infantry to remain;
well covered in their entrenchments, which, are
strong and well’protected by traverses against an
enfilading attack, as this mainly was, he got about
twelve long-range pieces in position, and for anhour
and a half the battle went on. The enemy had at
least forty pieces in. operation against our twelve.
Singularly, however, in spito- of the rapidity and
terribleness of the firing, very little injury was done
to our men. Several shells burst plumply in the
midst of the tents at General Smith’s headquarters,
and fragments, in one or two instances, came dis
agreeably near the staff officers. Ono of tkeso
missiles upset a stack: of-.muskets which were
■behind a breastwork, scattering and breaking and 1
bending them, sending one piece; high Into tho air,
where it turned end for end and came down with
such force that; the bayonet was driven its full
length into tho soil. Presently tho rebels tiro of
this exhaustive work and essay an infantry, charge,
upon our advances) line of rifle pits, supposing,
'.doubtless, that our troops must be dreadfully out
up and demoralized by their firing. -They reckon,
without their host. Our men have oseapedilnjary,
: and feel splendidly at the impunity with which they
have received the shower of iron. Therefore, they
are ready to meet anything that comes, and feel
insulted almost at tho paStrynumbers that aro now
rushing over tho oat-field in front of them; loudly
cheering, or rather howling, as is the rebel cus
tom, while with charged bayonets they mako the
onset. The thin lino of skirmishers in ad
vance' of the breastworks raise themselves from
their rude pits and deliver a feeble and scattering
tiro, which stops the'prpgress of a few of tho rebels.
The rest advance steadily, regardless of their fallen
comrades, passing the pits, and leaving many of
our skirmishers prisoners behind them. They do not
know the fato which is to moot them in an instant
more. Behind (lie high wall of earth which they are
rushing upon So bravely and withconfident yells,
there are thousands of stout-hearted Union soldiers
who have dotorminod not to throw away a singlo
shot. Tho rebels are within twenty yards of the
breastwork, A second . more and the gallant
men of Colonel-Henry’s and Oolonol Cullen’s
: brigades, of Stannard’s division, fringe the inner
side of tho parapet, and a sheet of fire and smoko',
covering entirely - the rebel line, bursts out
with a single clash, withering tlie graybaoks liko
loaves are withered by fire. The survivors crouched
at full length among the thick growth of oats. Not
a man of thorn attempted to return, but lay as still
as he could among his blooding dead and wounded
comrades. It was an easy matter now to take the
living, Our men crowded upon the parapot and
called upon them to surrender, pointing tho demand
with levelled muskets. In this way 1<» prisoners
wore captured unwounded. A largo proportion wore
boys, and several, not-more than eighteen years
of age, hail nevertheless been three years in service.

ABrNGDON, Ya., Feb. 8,1861.:
Ex-Presidext .Tohm Ti-ler—.Vy Dear Sir: I can
not express to you my graterul thanks for your kind
letter. I would have answered It sooner, but that I
thought it probable 1 might see you in .Washington
before this time ; upon reflection I thought it best
to remain here tor a few days until I could learn
throughTdr. Hughes the exact state of affairs in the
city. ■
I doubt whether there ever was in any country, at
any period ofhistory, a more monstrous, malignant,
and indefensible proceeding than this against me.
The presentment and indictment rost upon the.bold
est perjury, if any facts have been pretended as the
foundation of their proceedings, and If not, then the
precedent of the proceeding .criminally against an
officer or a man, to avenge a political act, Is alto
gether the most dangerous part that has transpired.
I was fully aware of the perilous path upon which
I embarked when X quit Hr. Buchanan’s Cabinet.
I knew my course was obliged to bring to a dead
halt the subtle policy which was quietly preparing
for coercing the South into submission, or that-it
would precipitate the catastropho so as to unite and
arouse the whole South instantly to a sense of their
danger. In either event I saw plainly enough that
no human effort would be spared to inflict venge
ance upon me. I had not, to lie sure, thought of its
taking the sbape,of a universal prosecution—but I
would not have been deterred lVom the course I took
even by the certaiD prospect of death itself.
I have the consolation to believe that my coarse
roused the South-to take those measures of self
defence in seizing upon the. forts, So., which, if de
layed a short time longer, could not .have beenac
coraplishe'd buhwith immense sacrifice of life and
money. Individually, I defy the malice which pur
sues me, and am contentto allow the developments
of the future to justify me in the minds of all fair
minded people.
One of the most painful accompaniments ofthese
proceedings to me, is a suspicion which I cannot re
press, that the Cabinet has had something to do in
urging this on. .They are-obliged to show their
fealty and zeal for their new Abolition allios by
offering them a sacriflee of one who had done so
much to snatch the prey from their jaws. It would
be ah inexpressible source of satisfaction ;to me: to
know that those, whose opinions I value, .understood
the motives which prompt the action against me,
and understood also the causes ..whieh have led to
them. ! .
I would esteem it a great favor to hear from you,
■With sentiments of the highest esteem and regard,
, .Jtam, very sincerely, your friend,

honest fighting has raised himself from a posi-,
tion of obscurity to one of almost unlimited com
mand—who: has, if some reports concerning him
be true, achieved that rarest of, all victories, a
mastery over himself and his desires—and who.
(a virtuo -not ofton possessed by the military
celebrities of tbo United States) is still: modo3t and
unassuming. Nor has-ho, yet in;any way.com-,
promised the reputation which ho worthily earned,
alike by honorable service in the field and by ex
emplary civic conduct. A man of merely ordinary
calibre would scarcely have dared to accept tho
glorious but terrible responsibility which Grant has.
quietly taken upon himself, as bocaino a good, sol
dier who was bound to fear no peril, oither material
or moral, in his country’s eauso. He was prudent
as welt as bold; tho mere splendor of the office did
not seduce' him; and only on his own terms, which
were wise and well considered, would ho consont to
assume supremo command. He would submit to'no
dictation from tho amateur Aulic councillors of
Washington; holding himself responsible for tho
issue of the campaign, he would not alio wit to bo
prejudiced by any unduo publicity being given to
his plans; he kept his own counsel, allowed tho gos
sipsto talk-as they diked, and at length, strong.in
tlie-eonfidenee of ids troops, and-with the wholo en
thusiasm or the North to back him, ho sot forth
upon the great marchfrom which ho had determined
never to return except in triumph.
Nor can it bo denied that already ho has done
much. Hushing doggedly onwards, with the fierce
resolution of a man who is Inionsoly in earnest, ho
has fought his way inch by inch into the very heart
of Virginia hand a victory, so close is now his army
toßichmonil, would probably place that capital in
his bands. It is impossible to read the account of
his operations without seeing that they aro thoso of
a leader who possesses daring and capacity not alto
gether incommonsurato to* tho mighty task that lies
before him. “Onto Richmond!” which has soofton
been simply the vainglorious cry of Northern brag
garts, is with this stern and valiant captain some
thing more; It moans something not tobomoroly
talked about,: but to bo done; and If tho whole
strength of the North, entrusted to stroDg and ca
pable hands,; can do it, that purpose will bo
achieved. • , .
Norfolk Pbefeiis GEBEitAL, Butlkb’s -Go
vekkment to Govebkou Pijsiu’Okt’s.—“Novor
beroro has a' commander of a department been
been so honored as was General Butler yesterday,
by tho eitlzons of Norfolk. In the face of tho
written slanders of PlcrponW tho verbal back-biting
of civil office-holders, and',, tho porjury. and conspi
raoy-or whisky-smugglers, the poople-wont to the
polls, and decided by a vote of 3H to 10. that they'
preferred the military government; as administered:
by General Butler and General. Shopley, to that of
tho dishonest and corrupt so-oalled ‘ restored Go
vernment’ of Fiorpont and Brooks.; This sooms to
us a most thorough vindication,of General Butlor
and iiis administration in tho Department of Virgi
nia and North Carolina.”— Norfolk HcgbAe, Saturday.
WATER ok Fire.—The following esoiting ovout,
according to a correspondent, took plaoo recently in
Baltimore harbor: Uur harbor has boon on lira for
tbo last twenty-four hours, literally on ftro. The
surface of the water for thousands of square yarns,
lias boon a porfeot iiamo, caused by tho destruction
of the Italian ship Juliana, which took fire while
dying at the wliarfand loading irith petroleum. She
had on board ono thousand eight hundred barrels,
and had to be towed over to .the opposito side oi the
bnsln to save the surrounding property. As the
barrels would burst, tho oil spread ovor tho water in
a flame. V .. ' -V'
HEBEI PBISOWKBS AT Point Looicobt.—Over
two thousand reW prisoners have arrived at the
Point during tbo past ten days. Among the lot
are a large number captured at Petersburg and be
longing to Bcaurcgnrd’ff command. These men,
previous to their entering the camp, are closely ex
amined, and all extra clbthing, watches, and money
are taken from them by“ the provost marshal, who
keeps an exact account,-and when they'depart the
money, watches, &c., ard'returned. Sonnymher
singular cases present themselves to bo examined.
Some have gold and notes Hidden under thoir'halr 5
some sewed up under the linirig of their clothing;
some In tho bottom of their socks ; ; others think they
have safely secured their specie in tho liningof tapir
boot-tops, but the vigilant oye of Lieut. Phillips
and lifs corps of detectives soon show Its existence,
and the gold comes forth. One'knapsack Jately
examined contained two full suits of female apparel•
and some baby clothing, and when* the same was*
brought to light it caused some merriment among
bis comrades, who had quite a laugh at his expense.
During the past week 057 officers nave' been sent to
Fort Delaware.
JiECHiGANizATiOK of Tvnxesses.—A Conven
tion of delegates from the Fourth Judiciary District
of' Tennessee (tho old Fourth Congressional dis
trict), met at Chattanoogaon the 22U instant, for the
purpose of reorganizing tho State. They passed a
series of resolutions characterizing slavery as the
primary.cause of all our troubles, endorsing the no
minations of Lincoln and Johnson, and earnestly
requesting the Military GWorner of Tennessee to
found a:- basis which will insure permanent State
tranquility. They nominatetKTofcn C. Evorctt-elec
tor for the districtj Vith instructions to labor ear
nestly for liincoln and Johnson.
BSfMCIAL .AND COMMERCIAL.
The com mil tee of the Chamber of Coraraeree of New
York, who were appointed ft theTrecent meeting of
merchants la that city to visit Washington for the par
pose of securing a repeal of the. Gold ; Bill, have re
turned, The Journal 0/ Commerce says-tbat the com
mittee were assured by the Secretary- of the Treasury
that there was no intention on the part'of the Govern
ment to embarrasstheoperatiousof tegiUinatebaslneas.
The Government had been told that it : could check
speculation without ; restricting or interfering with
trade, and the gold act was the resuit of an-honest en
deavor to accomplish that object. What effect the visit
of the committee will have itis impossiblotctell. If
the act were now introduced it would notsecure, the
committee: report, a majority vote in both houses.
The act, remarks the journal above quoted, will
doubtless: be either modified or repealed, and
that is all which- can be safely affirmed. In.
the there was a wide difference of
opinion as to the extent of .the prohibition as the act
now stands. Mr. Chase was decided in his opinion
that foreign exchange conld be sold for gold or a-certi
fied bank check,and that it was legal under the act to
sell any . merchandise for gold. Mr. Hooper hesitated
•in regard to these points, and thought that certified
checks could not be taken for exchange without vio
lating the law. The decision of Mr. Chase in the par
ticulars above quoted, if generally accepted as the law,
will afford a great relief to the public mind. The rapid
fluctuations in currency, unrepresented by the change
in quotations for gold, made it difficult for merchants
and others to sell produce or merchandUe for paper,
and they were afraid to sell for gold. It is now decided*,
as Mr. .Chase asserts, that any and all mercantile
transactions may be made on & gold basis, and thecoin<
be taken in payment, a serious obstacle in ' the way of
business will be at once.removed..
In another part of to-day’s Press will be found the
adveriisement of the Treasury Department, in regard
to the balance of the *Bl loan, which, was not awarded,
because the rates which were. bid were considered too
low. The amount of the loan remaining over is $33, -
000,000./. The terms are in all respects the same as those.
connected with the firetproposalßrexcept that the mini
mum rate of dpercent. premium is fixed as the lowest
at which bids will be accepted. The amount of ac
cepted offers must be .deposited: One-third on or be-,
fore the 10th; one-third on or before the 15th; and the
balance, including the premium and original two per
cent, deposit, On or before the 20fch of July. Interest
on bonds will begin with the date of deposit. Parties
preferringmay pay the accrued interest from date of
bond, July 3, to date of deposit.

Gold is unsettled, and it would be asking too much of
us to give a quotation that reliance could be placed in.
Wo give below the quotations of twoof our most pro
minent banking .houses, as sent to us for publication.
One, it will be seon, quotes gold at 223@225, and the
other at 235@240. To those desirous of making a profit
able speculation, we would-suggest the propriety of
purchasing gold from Mr. Jay Cooke, and selling it at
once to Mr. Drexel. - ■
