Tribune IRON Cne HeadquRrcers OF General
Butler, dated June II says:
Both sides were busily at work yester,
day at Petersburg erecting some new aud
strengthening old batteries. Some firing
took place along the lines, but nothing o.
moment occurred.
Wilson's division and Kautz's cavalry are
on another raid, making detour by Notta
way, thence across to Petersburg and Vel
don, and also to the Lynchburg Railroad:
They have not been heard from.
Gen. Foster still holds bis position across
the James.
Rumors came late last night that 1000
or 5000 troops had been added to those al
ready in our front; to-day will show.
There are no troops in Richmond save
militia. ~ -t '-- 'tt'1 - % '@A -
A Washington special to the Times says:
The latest advices from Grants Head
quarters report onl such occasional skirmish.
ing and artillery practice ss must inevitably
result from tie close proximity of the two
forces.
The chief enemy our soldisrs have lately
had to combat with are the heat and dust,
which have been of the most malignant
character. 1t is with the utmost difRulty
that the men and animals get even scanty
supply of water.
Palmer's raid from Newborn on the Viii

ply perfect explanation of the recently
reported march of rebel troops from Lees

The 9th corps correspondent, writing at
noon on tho 26th says: ~
There is MO material change in the posi-
ton. Both sides confront each other with
heavy lines of breastworks. A sharp war.
fare goes on between the pickets for advan-
tage.
Burnside reviewed the colored troops to-
day and they evinced high degree of dis.
cipline.
The Heralds 18th corps correspondent Of
the 26th, at midnight, says:
For two days nothing Of moment had oc.
Cured except the regular five minute dis
charge of 80 FOUNDER Parrott shells into
Petersburg We now have perfect range
and where our guns open they will prove
anything but mirth to the inhabitants. The
rebel works between this corps and Peters.
burg are hardly anything more than rife
pits. Deserters are constantly coming into
our lines. i... ... f..f1E
The same correspondent on the 9th says:
About IL o'clock the rebels, tired of
witnessing the discharge Of our 80 pounda
ere, opened with their heavy guns on the
other side Of the Appomattox Their first
she'll struck the parapet of Our battery
The rebels, however, calculated without
theis host. The heavy 30s Immediately
opened upon them and Howell. Rajsn and
James opened, followed by Ashley with 20
FOUNDERS, and Birchis commenced furious
shelling Of the city with 10 pounder Par.
rotts at short range, occasionally pouring .
shower of case shot into the rebel skirmish
pits. The enemy were efsctually silenced.
Clouds OF dust were observed, giving proof
of movement of rebel troops into Peters
burg. = ''i s...'.''. si"H ~

pondent of the 9th SAYS: .
Important changes have taken place in
the movements and numbers of the enemy
confronting Fester: They are increasing
their force on the line of the New Market
road, under the command of Gen. Ransom.
The rebels perceiving what Foster was up
to, they will find it the most significant
move OF the campaign and he cannot be
dislodged. + uMEalil.8 4T
