NEW YORK, JULY 1.

There is no news from either of the armies.
Grant has made no further attempt to turn the
Confederate position at Petersburg since his defeat
on the 223.

The term of service of many of his veteran regi-
ments expires from day to day, and the soldiers
exhibit no disposition to reenter the ranks.
The Administration journals insist that he must
be heavily reinforced before he again ventures to
advance.

Much anxiety is felt for the safety of Sherman.
Many of his supply trains have been captured, and
the Confederate force in his rear is steadily aug-
menting.
Sherman's loss during his present campaign is
estimated at nearly 20,000 men.

Secretary Chase has resigned, and Mr. Lincoln
has nominated as his successor ex-Governor Todd,
of Ohio, who having declined the appointment,
Senator Fessenden, of Maine, was appointed, and
confirmed by the Senate.
Gold opened at 250, rose to 282, but declined to
260 on Mr. Fessenden's confirmation, and to 230 on
the repeal of the Gold Bill by the Senate.

federates at Beam's Station on the Weldon and
Petersburg Railroad. Wilson fought all ❑ight and
the following morning, but was unable to push his
way through. Meade sent the 6th Corps, with a
division of the 2d Corps, to the assistance of Wilson.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JULY 14.

The Mini Aerial Provinzial Correspondenz of to.
day, referring to the recent change in the Danish
Ministry, says :
" It appears certain *that this change is intended
to preserve Danmark from further losses by at last
entering upon a path leading to peace. It uiay be
presumed that the German Powers will meet any
earnestly meant peace policy of the Danish Govern-
ment by every means in their power. But peace
is no longer to be obtained by Denmark except by
her giving up the whole of Schleswig-Holstein and
and recognising its independence. An armistice
can also only be agreed to when an acceptable basis
for peace negotiations has been offered,"
