MARYLAND HEIGHTS, June 2S.-We
were visited here yesterday by Gen.
Hooker, accompanied by Brigadier
Gen. Warren, 1Tkeobject Of the visit
was to inquire into the propriety of
eyacuating the He ghts. He sent for
Colonel Reynolds, an able engineer,
and asked him what object there was in
holding the Heights? The Colonel re-
piled that he had often asked thesame
question, but never got satisfactory
answer. .5 II t... .,,...l. .f.-..
I Hooker then issuel an order that
the place should be evacuated by To-
clock next morning, and that such
guns as could not be taken away
should be destroyed, and the stores re-
moved Immediately after. Heinform,
ed General Halleck of what he had
done, whereupon he received a dis
patch countermanding the order, and
Saying that the Notifications had cost
too much to be given up, unless under
the most urgent necessity, He CON
sidered Harper's Ferry to be the key
to present and future operations of the
Army of the Potomac. Hooker's com
lment upon this was natural enough:-
What is the use of holding on to the
key after the door is smashed? While
on his way from here, he received an
order from Washington, removing him
from command and placing General
Meade in his stead. ~, -. ar

CONCORD CHURCH, June 30.-8 P.
MA reconnaissance made by Gen.
Steadman this afternoon was pushed
to within two miles of Tullahama.-
General Thomas accompanied the col
umn, and reports the enemy in force
in their works, with vieetts thrown out
short distance from the front. 1t is
thought by some that a mere shell of
the rebel army remains in Tennessee,
which is doubtless mistake. We
found four brigades at Hoover's Gap,
four at Liberty Gap, and our friends
at Shelbyville counted $4,000 men,
Polk's corps passing through that
place. Cheatham's division is repor-
ted as having moved to Elk River
Bridge; and also that Decherd Bridge
was destroyed, which can hardly be
rebuilt before six days, when all will
be decided. While the destruction Of
the last bridge will not prevent rein
forcements from coming, the rebels
cannot carry off stores or heavy mue,
nitions of war. "tH jaa# .asi. .
~ HEADQUARTERS WALNUT Hills,
NEAR VIcKsBURG, June 90 Yester-
day afternoon General Logan explo-
ded mine under the rebel bastion in
his front, blowing one side and one
angle away. A struggle then took
place for the possession, has not yet
ceased. Our men hold one side and
the enemy the other. We are en-
deavoring to mount cannon in the
works, which they resist. General
Mcpherson thinks he will be able to
plant a battery in our position Of the
fort. A heavy fire by artillery and
musketry is kept up along the whole
line during the night to prevent the
rebels from concentrating on that
point. Our loss in the affair, up to
this time, may reach three hundred,
killed and wounded. The enemy's
loss must have been severe. g1 a
New YORK, July The Bermuda

ton. She is reported to belong to the
rebel Government, and is said to have
brought important dispatches from
that Government to the British Gov.
ernment. Two blockade runners left

passed close to the blockading squad
ron on her way out of Wilmington.
