New York, August 3.-The Horald's
Washington special says. One of the prin.
ciple causes of the hesitation, on the part
of our troops. which led to the disaster at
Pstersburg. was the beliof that, had they
takon the hill, which they we're expected to
take, and which they could have taken, and
which commanded the rebel works and
town. it bad been previously mined by the
rebols. For shis reason the troops could
not be induced to inisb their work. and do.
moralization was created, which lost the
fruits of victory whom Il was within their
grasp.
