The N. York papers publish lengthy extracts
from late Richmond papers concerning the
situation of affairs in. Virginia and Georgia
The utmost confidence is expressed IN the abll-
ty of the Confederates to defend Petersburg
and Richmond against any force that General
Grant can bring to bear upon those places
In regard to the safety Of Atlanta the letter
writer's from that city represent all right
and that all are sanguine Of success. The
Savannah Republican says: The tights leave
our army unbroken in strength and spirit, and
ready to move forward whenever their gallant
chief shall give the word. The general I'M
pression is that our loss in the recent battles
will not amount to more than FIVE thousand. =
The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded
has also been overated, as they fought tor the
most part behind entertainments. The move
ment of Hardee against the enemy's lett wing
was one of the most dashing Of the war, and
complete surprise.
The reported exploding of mine by the
Confederates, in the front Of the htth corps OF
the Federal Army, before Petersburg, on FRI
day last is confirmed, but that the Contede-
rates then assaulted the Federal lines and were
repulsed, turns out to be fabrication. 1t IS
now said the mine sprung WAS merely intended
20 damage another mine which it Was suspect
ed the troops of the Zig hteenth corps were
being engaged in digging. The latter, howev'
er. it is said, were simply running sap, which
the xplosion did not reach. There was some
firing subsequently, on both sides, but as soon
as the smoke cleared away and the true state
of affairs was discovered, the firing at once
ceased.
The New York World says thaG if the nom
inee "of tie Democratic Convention at CHI
cago should be elected President Of the y. ).
by majority of the electoral votes OF the loyal
states and the friends of Mr.. Lincoln should
undertake to reverse this decision by counting
in the votes of ''rebel states under restored
governments as they are called, the Demo
cratic party will not 'acquiesce, but they will
Immediately proceed to administer to the usur-
Der the fate of usurpers, and at whatever cost:
TO establish in the chair of the Chief Magls
trate the Chief Magistrate rightfuly and law
fully chosen by the people to fill the same. "
So numerous are the robberies of gardens,
hen roosts. chicken houses, fruit trees, &c., in
different parts of the town, especially on the
suburbs, that many persons are procuring large
and fierce dogs to be chained on their premi-
ses during the day, and let loose at night
Others have made traps and snares tor the
seizure or punishment of the thieves. Loaded
