ceased in the Stock Exchange There are
no longer any official quotations OF It's price
A few reckless Spectators, many Of them
" more sympathy with JEFF Davis than the
Union cause, have taken advantage Of thus

at all prices from TWO hundred 10 two hun

GOLD -GAAIBLING -GoId-gamblingh has
long been a tayorite resort Of treason and its
sympathizers in our city. The intercepted
correspondence last year.of prominent rebels
burTOwlng here showed that they believed
they were serving their master, JEFF Davis,
as much by forcing up the price of gold in
our market as they could do by leading his
regiments in Virginia. Congress, by the
gold act, has struck them telling blow, and
they wrlthe and foam madly in consequence.
Their craft is in danger or worse, and they
are making desperate exertions to wreck the
credit and finances of the Union, in order at
once 60 glut their rapacity and secure the
triumph of the shareholders rebellion Such

WASHINGTON, June %, 10 p. mo
-EGjOr General Dir.- Dispatches from City
Point, at 4 o clock this evening, report no
fighting to-day. Movements are in progress
which are not now proper for publication
The Richmond papers report an attack up
on Lynchburg by Gen. Hunter on Saturday,
and that he was repulsed 1t is believed
however, that there was nothing more than
a reconnaissance, and that, having ascertain
ed the place TO be strongly defended, Gen.
Hunter withdrew, and is operating upon
the enemy communications at other points
A dispatch from Gen Sherman S head
quarters, dated yesterday at 81 o'clock,
states that ''it had rained almost incessant-
ly, in spite of which our lines have been
pressed forward steadily, and an important
position has been gained by Gen Howard -
The enemy made desperate attempt to re-
take this position last night, making seven
distinct assaults on Gen. Whittakers bri-
gade OF Stanley division, and losing not
less than seven or eight hundred men. Two
hundred killed were left on Whittaker's
front. This assault was followed by heavy
fire of artillery, under which the position
was fortified and Is now safe. Our cavalry
is across MONDAY Greek, on our left. and
one brigade of the sd corps is across Moses
Greek on the right but the rebel left is be
hind swamp, and the rains prevent any
advance. The fighting has been quite Sc
we're at all points, the enemy resisting stub
bornly, and attempting the defensive when
ever he can.

and OF most formidable strength have been
carried with all the guns and material OF
war Of the enemy, including prisoners and
colOrs. The works have all been held and

To the colored troops comprising the di-
