FROM GIANTS ARMY.

The monotony in Grants operations have
peen broken. On Friday of last week, Gen.
Grant sent force up the north side of the Po-
tomac which drove the rebels from Malvern Hill
and captured $50 prisoners and four guns The
position gained is said to be important.
On Saturday, General Grant sprung a mine
which had been excavated under one of the
rebel forts, which was entirely successful The
fort contained $50 rabels and g guns. But about
20 rebels escaped death, and of the six guns
were puried under the ruins. Our troops rush
ed through the opening thus made, and gal
lantly carried the enemy first line of entrench-
ments ON both the right and left of the FORT
This position was held until Sunday morning,
when an attempt was made TO carry the Sec
ond line, which was partially successful, and
would have been entirely so but for the fact that
the enemy had third line which completely
commanded the second Our forces finding the
fire of the enemys batteries most murderOus,
were reluctantly compelled to fall back to our
original position. They brought back 36Oreb-
ell prisoners, Grants losses in these engage
Inents are stated to be =, ,5O0-about two thirds
of whom belonged to the Massachusetts colored
regiments.
Gen. Grant is still confident that he will take
Richmond, and does not regard his recent move
ments as fruitless of important results. The
enemy acknowledge loss of 500, but it is
known to be much greater.

Official dispatches from Ger Sherman to the
War Department. give more intelligent ac-
count of the movements of our army since
crossing the Chattahoochie river. The rebe Is
having been reinforced with 80, 600 fresh troops
and their army placed under the command O
Gen. Hood, considered themselves able to drive
Sherman back To that end they have made
attacks on our army on three different days.
The first was on the Doth of July, in which
the Doth Corps, one division of the 4th Corps
and part of the I4th Corps of Shernian's army
were engaged In this fight the rebels lost over
G, 900 in ALL, $50 of whom were killed. Our
entire loss in killed, wounded and missing was
I,733. The second division of the 4th Corps
repulsed seven assaults and captured seven
stands of rebel colors.
Two days after, on the 22d, the rebels made
most determined and fierce attack along near
ly the whole line, but were most disastrously re-
pulsed at all points, save one, where they gain
ed a temporary advantage and captured ten
guns. On this day the rebels lost 3, 100 killed.
5000 wounded, 5000 prisoners, I8 stand of
colors and 5, 900 small arms. The total Union
loss in killed, wounded and missing was 3, 500,
and ten guns.
On the 27th Gen. Hood made another vigor
GUS assault, but with no better luck than the
others, After the fight Sherman buried 60
rebels, aud represents their wounded at 100.
Our loss was less than 900 all told.
In these three days fights y, 900 rebels were
rendered Ineffective TO the enemy, while 5000
of Sherrnan's army only was placed in like
situation. Late news from Sherman states that
the situation is satisfactory and favorable for the
early capture Of Atlanta.

The HIaIItia List.

Many persons suppose that the list of names

This is a mistake. A State Law Of last winter
enacts that all able-bOdied men, between the
ages of Is and As, shall join one of the compan-

of August, or penalty of $I.5owill be added

The Rebel Raid,

1t is now pretty well ascertained that the at
tempt of the rebels TO again penetrate Mary
land has proved pretty much failure. They
were met at most of the fords of the Potomac
with such numbers of Union troops as rendered
il unsafe for them to attempt crossing. One
squad estimated from J, 900 to 5000, succeeded
in crossing the Potomac in the neighbOrhood Of
Hancock, who penetrated as far north as Cham
bersburg in Pennsylvania, which place they
completely burned to the ground. They set
fire to 50 different houses in as many different
places in the city. Several thousands of wo-
men and children were thus rendered homeless,
This was mere act of vandalism, as there was
not Union soldier near the town, nor had gun
been fred The merchants and business men
of fthe place had previously removed every thing
of value, SO that the rebels were cheated out Of
the rich booty they had anticipated obtaining.
This band of marauders is reported TO have
been driven out Of the State with a considerable
loss of killed and prisoners.
The entire force of rebels that came up the
valley on this raid was 3s,OOO but they have
thus far failed to accomplish anything, save the
burning of Chambersburg. They have been
foiled at all points, and in many instances Sc.
verely punished.

Suffering in Charleston, $. c.

The Washington Chronicle gives an extract
from private letter, from citizen of Charleston
to his mother in Washington. The letter says:
1t is trying indeed to me TO feed and clothe
my family of eight. ] shall be thankful if
live through this unnatural and horrid business
and am able to save my little ones from absolute
want and starvation. We live principly on corn
bread and rice, with not piece of fresh beef
more than once in three weeks, and no tea, cof-
fee, or sugar. Twenty five dollars of Confed-
crate money is really worth about one dollar of
former times. There are however, innumerable
persons in the South far worse off than u.s.
Beef $5 per pound bacon, 5 and$6 per pound;
corn-meal, $l5 and $40 per bushei; -four, $275

AT meeting of citizens on the announces
ment of the death of Major General JAMES j.
McPHERsoN, a committee, consisting of Hon.
John L. Greene, H. Everett and I. NJ. Keeler,

Substitute Recruits.

We understand that i'll somc of the wards in
this city papers are circulating pledging the
signers to put in or more substitute recruits
towards the quota of the ward in which the par
which one gentleman had pledged himself to
put in four substitutes one for himself (he is moi
liable TO the draft), for his wife and one for
each of his two children. This is the right spir-
it, and we hope to see the work spread. By
paying one hundred and twenty five dollars to
the State Treasury recruit will be put into the
army from those enlisted in the insuTgent states.
Two very desirable results viii follow this ac-
tiOn First, the government at once, when they
are most needed and second, every man thus
put in reduces the number to be drafted and
lessons the chances of some friend or neighbor
who has not the means of procuring substi-
tute if he should be drafted, and to whom it
would be "a peculiar hardship if he should be
obliged to go.-BoSton Journal.

A SHARP REToRT.-The New York Journal
Of Commerce, quoting the oft-repeated common
place that the rebelliop is on its last legs" ask
peevishly how many leggs the rebellion has
got? The Chicago Tribune answers;
%There is oneleg in Ohio called Vallandigham
one in Chicago called the Times, two in New
York, the Journal of Commerce and World and
one in Cincinnati, the Enquirer, besides two very
lame legs at Richmond and Atlanta The
Northern legs are the mostsserviceable."

.Amazons,, in 1he FedernI Army

The official records at Washington shows that
upwards of one hundred and fifty female recruits
have been discovered since the commencement
of the war. 1t is supposed that nearly all of
these "Amazonsp were in collusion with men
who were examined and accepted, after which
the fair ones managed to substitute themselves
and be mustered into the service. Over seventy
of these martial ladies', when their sex was dis
covered, were acting as officers servants. In
one regiment there were seventeen acting in this
capacity.

A CHINESE TRIck.-The Custom House au-
thorities of San Francinco discovered very in
genous trick, which led to the seizure of another
lot of smuggled opium. Among the cargo of
the bark Ceres were 400 tubs, invoiced as eggs,
value stated at 81 each. The eggs were coated
with peculiar kind of varnish to preserve them.
One ofthe officers, in examining the eggs, scraped
off little varnish and disclosed metallic case,
egg-shapped, filled with opium. Each natalie
egg is worth $50. So far as the examination
has proceeded, five hundred have been found.
