OFFICIAL WAR BULLETIN.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WAsH1NeroS, June l8-10 P. NJ.
To MAJOR General Dir:
The following dispatch from Gen.
eral Grant, dated yesterday, ii A.
NJ, at City Point, has been received
by this Department:
"The Ninth Corps this morning
carried two more redoubts forming
part of the defences Of Petersburg,
capturing 450 prisoners and 4 guns.
Our successes being followed up
Our forces drew out from within fifty
yards of the enemys intrenchments
at Coal Harbor, and made q flank
movement of about fifty-five miles
march, crossing the Chickahominy
and James river. The latter is 1000
feet wide and "a feet deep at the
point of crossing. We surprised the
enemy near Petersburg.
"This was done without the loss of
wagon or piece of artillery, and
only about one hundred and fifty
stragglers were picked up by the
enemy. In covering the move, War
ren's corps and Wilson's cavalry
had frequent skirmishing with the
enemy, each losing fly to sixty Kill
led snd wounded, but inficting an
equal; if not greater loss on the enc
my. The 18th corps, Smiths, was
transferred from the White House to
Bermuda Hundred by water. and
moved out near Petersburg the night
of>their arrival They surprised. or
rather captured the very strong
work north-e of Petersburg.-A
sufficient fire could not be got on
them by the enemy to drive them
"He was joined the night following
this capture by the I'd corps, which
captured the enemy redoubts fur
ther north, and this corps was follow
ed by the 9th, with the result as above
stated. All the troops are now
up except seven divisions covering
the wagon trains, and they will
be up tonight. The enemy in
in their endeavors to re-en-
force Petersburg. abandoned their
intrenched positions in front of
Bermuda Hundred. They no doubt
expected troops from north of the
James river to take their places be-
fore we discovered it.
Butler took advantage of this, and
moved at once upon the railroad
between Richmond aud Petersburg,
which he hopes to retain possession
of. Too much praise cannot be
given the troops and their command
ers for the energy and fortitude dis
played the last five days. Day and
night has been all the same. no delays
being allowed on any account"
Unofficial dispatches show that at
s o clock this evening the enemy
still occupied Petersburg. Major
Morton was Killed in an assault
yesterday.
Nothing to day from Hunter or
Sherman.

WAR DEPARTMENT,

To Major General Dir:
This evening a dispatch from City
Point, dated 9 o'clock this morning.
reached the Department. It reports
that our forces advanced yesterday
to within a mile in trent of Peters
burg, where they found the enemy
occupying a new line of intrench-
ments, which after successive assaults
we failed to carry, but hold and have
intreLched our advanced positions.
From the forces of the enemy within
the enemy's new line, it is inferred
that Beauregard has been re enforced
from Lees army. No report has
been received by the Department
concerning the casualties of our
army in its operations since crossing
the James river, except the death of
Major Morton, mentioned yesterday
Gen. Sherman reports to day. The
enemy gave way last night in the
midst of the darkness and storm,
and at daylight we entered his line
from right to left. The whole army
is now in pursuit as far as the Chat
tahootchie. General Sherman adds:
Il start at once for Marietta"
No military intelligence from any
other quarter has been received to
day.

So the 'great unhung" in his recent

whether he was in the United States

a poor compliment to those
who brought dishonor and shame
upon themselves, by voting for him
last fall, if at this late day he has on

rant that has so long sought his

We trust vsllandigham has "come
to stay" All the celebrity he ever at
tanned was in his arrest, trial and ex-
patriation. But even that has proved
a poor speculation. Martyrdom
does not always pay well, at least
to the martyr himself. Val. does
not design being made q martyr
merely for the benefit Of DR.. Old's
new church. It Is said .the blood
of the martyrs is the seed of the

church is sadly in need Of q martyr.

EVENTS OF WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

ARMY OF THE Potomac, June 16,
6 P. NJ. Smith command, which
landed at Point of Rocks on Tuesday
evening, advanced early yesterday
morning on the City Point and Peter
sburg road, and finding the enemy
near Harrison creek, drove them
in to their Notifications, and half a
mile beyond line of battle formed
by Hancock's colored division, on
the left. A charge was made and
their entire line of works was taken
with 26 guns, 5000 prisoners, and
several battle flags.
The position was one OF great
strength, and should have resisted
an attack fsom a much larger force.
The colored troops are reported as
behaving admirably, taking their
part of the enemy's line, the other
men did theirs. Our loss in the
whole affair was not over 200, Of
whom some 40 were colored. The
I'd corps came up in the evening and
took position on the left of Smith
In the morning an advance was made
By the I'd corps, Hirney in command
and the enemy were driven from
another strong position with consid-
eTable loss in killed, wounded and
pris 5ners. In the afternoon Burn

the left of the Second Corps. At 6
o'clock in the evening combined
advance was made along the line,
and desperate struggle ensned, on
the left and center both with artillery
and infantry which lasted until long

SCongress has passed bill to
prevent speculation in gold. 1t
requires the gold to be delivered on
the day of sale, instead of in the fu-
ture.
1t cuts up by the roots all mere
traffic for profit. carried on by men
who are not worth $4,000 in the
world but enter into contracts for
gold, to be delivered on a day fixed
for a fabulous amount. This will
dry up numberless shaving, gamb-
ling shops and force the trade into
legitimate channels. .r
The law imposes a fine of not
more than 10000 nor less than $1,000
or Imprisonment from three months
to one year. Itis TO- be hoped it
may have the effect desired. 1t is
alleged that this legislation interferes
with legitimate contracts. No doubt
Copperheads who ENTHUSIASTICALLY
in the depreciation of greenbacks'
will urge this. It is well refuted by
the fact th 1t whilst New York requir-
es but two hundred Thousand dollars
daily in gold for importation duties
and foreign balances, twenty millions
of gold have nominally been disposed
of in one day In that city, for not a
hundredth part of which, was there
any actual transfer of the metal.

NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE

This thing called newspaper pat
ronage is a curious thing. 1t is
composed of as many colors ss the
rainbow, and as changesble as 8
chameleon.
One man subscribes for newspa-
per and pays for it in advance; he
goes home and reads it with the
proud satisfaction that it is his own.
He hands in an advertisement, asks
the price, pays for it. This is news
paper patronage.
Another man saws, please put my
name on your list of subscribers; and
he goes off without as much as
having said pay once. Time pas ses,
your patience is exhausted and dun
him. He flies into passion perhaps
pays; perhaps not.
Another man has been a subscri-
Der long time. He becomes tired
of you and wants city paper. Tells
the post master to discontinue, and
one of his papers is returned marked
refused" Paying up for it is
among the last of his thoughts; be-
sides, he wants money to send to a
city publisher.
After a time you look over his
account and see bill of "balance
due" But does he pay it cheerfully1
We leave him to answer. This too,
is newspaper patronage.
Another man lives near you
never took your paper-it Is too
small, don't like the editor or some
thing eise-yet goes regularly to his
s, reads his by good fire,
finds fault with its contents, disputes
position, and with its type. Occasion
ally sees an articls he likes--gives
half dime and, begs a number
This, too, is newspaper patronage.
Another supports fine horse, or
perhaps pair of them--is always
seen with whip in hand and spur on
foot-no use for him to take a news
paper-knows enough. Finally he
concludes to get married-does so--a
notice of fact with please send me
a half dozen copies. This done, does
not pay for notice or papers? No,
But sure you don't charge for such
thingsT This too, is newspaper
patronage. ...l..
Another man bless you it does
us good to see such men comes and
says "the year tor which I paid is
about to expire 1 want to pay for
another" He does so and retires.
Reader! isn't newspaper patronage
a curious thing And in that great
day when honest men get their re-
ward due to their honesty, which,
say you, of those enumerated above,
will obtain that reward2 Now it will
he seen that while certain kinds of
patronage are the very life and ex-
istence of a newspaper, there are
certain other kinds that will kill

~Gen. Sherman said recently
ITO those who submit to the rightful
law and authority, all gentleness and
forbearance, but to the petulant and
persistent secessionists, why death
is mercy. and the quicker he or she
is disposed of the better. Satan
and the rehellious saints OF heaven,
were allowed continuance of ex-
istence in hell, merely to swell their
just punishment. To such as would
rebel against government so mild
and just as ours was, in peace, a
punishment equal would not be un-

Blazer. He has rendered most essen

it, the friends of Capt. Blazer will
see how highly he is appreciated:
CAPT. Blazers Scouts.
Toward this body of men, the COM
mander of our army turns with no

are the picked men of the various

daring rs scouts, and have been
placed under the command of Capt.
Blazer, of the 91st Ohio. In clear
ing West Va. of its hortles of BUSH

incalculable benefit. On all expedi-
tons his men are put in the front,

until the nation was awakened by the roar
ing of the fierce flames of strife kindled by
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
Now may not these gentlemen be mis-
taken as to the residence of the abolition
lists 2 In determining this question, it is
important to remember that this is not the
first, second or third war, which our
Southern Brethren" have waged against
their neighbors within the last twenty
years it is only greater in magnitude and
extent. Under Walker, Lopez, Henning-
sen and other leaders, they have repeated
ly invaded Cuba and Central America
And it is remarkable that their indignation
was so shsrpeued against the invaded peo-
pie that the march of their armies was
everywhere attended with arson, rape, rob-
berry, murder and every possible crime and
atrocity. Now as our cOpperhead stumpers,
and editors unanimously declare that 1t
was abolition arguments and discussions
that prepared the hearts of our Southern
Brethren for war;" and as the aforesaid
stumpers and editors can not lie, l am
forced to the conclusion that the abolition
lists liVe in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, in
Central America and Cuba.
