New YORK, June THE Times cores
nondent sends 4 lengthy detailed account of
the operations OF Friday, showing that the
move was one of the most important Of the
campaign-being an attempt to push the
rebels back from their position on this side
of the Chickahominy but it failed, though
our army was advancing to a new position.
The key OF the point secured BY Barlow's
and Gibbons divisions was wrested from
them by overwhelming rebel reserves in
strong line Of works.
The Herald says: Fridays fight was brief,
bloody, but brilliant; but resulted in vic
tory for the Fifth Corps.
4 James river correspondent says: The
iron-clad fleet moved up abreast Of Buffers
right wing, which is intrenched on the Pen
inSula, formed BY the Appomattox and james
rivers, and east Of Richmond and Petersburg
Railroad, which road our army has been en-
abled to reach with recently mounted guns.
Secretary Chase in the Market.
The Commercial says: Chase is in the city
in consultation with bankers, with the OBJ
iect to effect temporary loan Immediately.
The amount he desires to borrow is stated
at fifty million dollars.
The Post says The anticipation that pay
ment OF the loan will bear the market and
make money so stringent as to produce
panic, is not likely to be realized. At the
Sub-treasury to-day, Chase, in concert with
Cisco and leading financial institutions, is
making such arrangements as to etfectually
prevent any such disturbance Of business.
