TnE FoU1ru IN DAvENPoRT.-The quiet
ness which prevailed in our city yesterday
was almost without parallel. No elaborate
preparations had been made to celebrat,
the occasion, as has been customary
in times Of yore; every one seemed in
clined to enjoy the festivities Of that glor
ious day on their own responsibility, and o
course there was no formality about it.
Several picnic parties were assembled a
different localities on the bluff, and gener
ally the participants were well satisfied with
their days recreation. In the evening there
was a limited display Of fireworks about
town. Fourteenth street was brilliantly il

most suffocation.
The Firemen Of the city marched through
the principal streets, in the morning, in full
uniform, and made very fine display
The engines and hose cars were beautifully
decorated with flowers, flags, ETC., and the
procession was preceded by Strasser's full
Band.
The FOURTH AT ALIENS GRovE.-Thcy
had genuine old fashioned celebration at
Aliens Grove, yesterday. Between three
and four hundred persons were gathered to-
gcther, IA large proportion Of whom were
young ladies'. After the usual prayer, the
Declaration was read by Mr.. Atkinson,
which was followed by an Grafton delivered
by Alfred Sully, Esq, of this city, which was
pronounced to be one Of the best addresses
ever made in that neighborhood After
dinner the company gathered around the
stand again to listen to the toasts, which
were we'll received. Responses were made
by Dr. Yunkins, Mr.. Sully and others. The
great feature Of the day was the "Wapsie
Rogmmfas," band Of fifteen or twenty
odd and gsotesque figures, dressed in the
very height Of the ridiculous, riding all sorts
Of animals, and creating bursts of laughter
Everything passed off pleasantly, and alto
gcther it was a most happy, social affair.
About three hundred persons attended
the excursion to Atalissa, where a very
pleasant time was had. We are informed
that no addresses or speeches were made.
This was got up for the benefit of the NJ. +.
Church, and we have no doubt they realized
a handsome profit.
\ small excursion party embarked on the
Jennie Whipplc and went down the river as
far as New Boston, and returned this morn
ing on the Keithsbnrg, which landed at this
morning, splendidly decorated with ever
green's, &c. They had land of music for
the occasion.
The weather was all that could have been
desired for the occasion. In the morning it
was cool and pleasant, and at no time dur
ing the day was the atmosphere uncomfort-
ably warm

and half, until they reached strongly
entrenched line of works, from which it
was impossible to dislodge them.
We attacked the enemy for the pur-
pose Of discovering his position, and
found him strongly massed and en-
trenched on our right.
The fight occurred near Bethesday
church, on the Mechanicsville road,
about nine miles from Richmond. Our
loss is about 500 wounded and so killed.
Among the former is Col. Willis of the
18th Georgia, and Major Smith of the
9th n. c.; and among the latter is Col.
Terrell of the, 18th Virginia, who was
mortally wounded and left In front of the
enemy's work. We captured about 100
prisoners. The enemy's loss in killed
and wounded is supposed to be heavier
than ours.
To-day there has been heavy cannon
aiding and sharp skirmishing in General
Mahone's 'front.' but no general engage
ment.
tits supposed that the enemy is still
moving towards our right, SO as to cover
and use the York River Railroad.
BUSINESS NOTrcE.-We have used

to preserve, the credit of the So Confed.
crate notes, and have sustained our ad-
vice to those by receiving them at par,
in payment of all dues up to this date,
even though it has subjected us TO a
heavy loss. Our cause, however, has
not been sustained by the public. We
find it impossible to pay out the 81 in
discharge OF every bill against the Gov
ernment, except at heavy discount.
We are therefore reluctantly compelled
to decline receiving such notes in future,
except at the current rates of discount
in this city, viz, +3 l-3 per cent when
more than one are paid in. a.-.

PRoyosr MARsHAL.-By a General
Order from District Headquarters, issued
on the 18th, Captain John A. Hennessay,
SD Penn. Vols, was appointed Provost
Marshal, relieving Capt. E. s. Babcock,
9th Z. s. G. T., who returns to his regi-
ment. We can testify from personal
knowledge and observation to the rare
ability with which Capt. Babcock has
discharged his duties during the time he
has occupied the position of Provost Mar
shal, first OF the Post and then of the
District. With no experience in that
position, and assuming it under great dis
advantages, with no clerks, and little ac-
quaintance with the post, he brought
to it the skill and shrewdness of q lawyer,
the method of thorough soldier, and a
good deal of common sense, which has
enabled him to be popular, and, at the
same time. efficient. Capt Hennessey, his
successor, is qualified by experience as
well as ability for the place, and we have
no doubt will admirably succeed. We
consider this paragraph bur just to the
parties mentioned, inasmuch as Provost
Marshals have much hard work to per-
form, and rarely get credit with the pub
lie for half they do.

to Point Lookout, shall be Immediately
returned to General Wild's headquarters,

Information has been received that

command have been shot by the rebels.
BERMuDA HUNDRED, June |, lSG4.-At
three o'clock this morning rebel IRON
clad came down the James river and at
tackled our Monitors. The engagement
continued upwards of two hours, with
continuous and heavy cannonading. The
rebel iron-clad was then driven up the
river. Further results were not known
when the steamer John A. Warner left
this morning.
Cannonading continued till that time; ;
but it was supposed to be mostly on land.

We have private advices from Fortress
