Secretary Stanton announces having received
despatches from General Grant up to 9 p.m. on the
9th inst. There had been no fighting since the
night of the 6th, when the Confederates attacked
Burnside's corps, meeting with a decided repulse.
They also made a dash at a working party of Han.
cock's corps, with the same results. It is reported
that a portion of the 51h corps had arrived at a point
on the Chickahominy, near Bottom's Bridge. An
unofficial despatch states that a portion of this force
has occupied the south bank of the river, near
Despatch Station.
Richmond journals claim that the battle on the
3d inst. resulted in a decided victory for the Con•
federates. The Sentinel states that fourteen assaults
were made by the Federala on the right of the line
held by BrieliQuridge, Yoga, aLd Kershaw, all of
which were repulsed with great slaughter of the
assailants. The Federal lots is placed at from 10,000
to 12,000 men, while the Confederate loss is asserted
to have been quite small, The Sentinel states that
Grant's object was to gain the strong positions
around Gaines's Mill, upon the road to Bottom's
Bridge, and connect with Butler, and that his object
had been " signally and disastrously defeated."
The Sentinel concludes :—" In short, yesterday was
a happy day for us and a dark one for Grant. We
have lost no ground on our right and have
gained largely on our left. We have taken
nearly two thousand prisoners. We have
put hors de combat some 10,000 Yankee soldiers.
We have suffered very slight loss, thank God."
Richmond papers of the 7th regard General
Grant's movement es indicating a retreat to the
James River, with a view of attacking Richmond
on the south of that stream.

The town of Bowling Green, the county seat of
Caroline county, Virginia, has been laid in ashes by
Federal troops in retaliation for the citizens firing
from thr it houses upon a Federal train.

Advices frcm Butler's army
the 7th inst. report all quiet on

Official despatches anncurce that the Federal
forces under General Hunter, on the sth of June'
defeated the Confederates under General IV. E,
Jones, who was himself killed, 12 miles beyond
Staunton, in the Upper Shenandoah valley. The
Confederates retreated to Waynesboro, and now
hold the mountains between Staunton, which place
is occupied by Hunter, and Charlottesville. Gen.
Hunter captured no supplies, according to official
accounts. Ocher accounts, however, represent
that he captured six guns and a large amount of
stores. Deserters report that the Confederates lost
20 guns.
Latest advicos from General Sherman's army in-
dicate that Johnston has at last made a determined
stand, and that a desperate battle was daily ex-
pected. On the 7th of Juno the Confederates hsd
signals posted at Kenesaw and Lost Mountain.
Sherman's forces had occupied Ackworth.
Despatches from Kentucky announce the inva-
sion of that State by a Confederate force under
General John Morgan, They entered the eastern
portion of the State and captured Mount Stirling.
They then proceeded to destroy the railroad and
bridges between Cynthiana and Paris, both of which
places they occupied on June 8. They next captured
Georgetown and Williamstown, and had, at latest
accounts, a force within thirty miles of Cincinnati.
Communication with Lexington is suspended, and
it is feared that that town also has fallen into their
hands. They are moviug in three columns. One
of these bodies, said to be about 700 strong, has
been repulsed by the Federals under Gea. Burridge.
The estimates of Morgan's force are various—some
as high as ten, and some less than three, thousand

men.

Advices from Mississippi state the Confederates
under Marmaduko have planted heavy batteries at
Greenville, Mississippi, and Columbia, Arkansas,
thereby effectually blockading the navigation of
the Mississippi river at that point. Southern ac-
counts state that Marmaduko had already crippled
three Federal gunboats and destroyed three trans.
ports, securing two of their cargoes,
Southern papers state that the entire number of
Federal prisoners captured during the recent cam.
paign in Louisiana and Arkansas( was 16,000, and
that Col. Alexandria, on the ith ult., captured two
Federal gunboats and three transports in the
Calasim river, in South-Western Louisiana. The
same journals allege that the Federals destroyed all
prope.ey in the Red River from Natchilocby to
some distance above Alexandria. Dwelling-houses,
