New YoRS, Oct 1.-The Herald's Fort>
ress Monroe correspondent of the Goth says;
Rumors of heavy battle near Petersburg
have been rife here tor the past two days
and have caused great excitement, but all
inquiry into facts prove that nothing more
than the usual picket firing has disturbed
the quiet spell in the vicinity of the city.
While, however, there has been no pitched
battle fought of late, still everything is pre-
pairing for a ssnguinary conflict, and the
time is not far distant when the grand and
decisive movement will be commenced,
which must result in great Union victory,
Heavy reinforcements for the front are ar
irving daily and either ascend the James
river in the vessels which bring them or
are re shipped here on light draught steam
ers. This morning the ocean steamer Arago,
Capt Henry Gadsden, arrived here en- route
for Hilton Head and discharged large
number of recruits who were sent forward
to City Point.
The Herald's headquarters of the Army
of the James correspondent, of the goth,
says the Army of the James is in motion,
and the fact by itself is not deemed contra
band by the military authorities. 1t may
be further stated thatits operations within
the next few days will be of the most i'm
portant character. The men are really in
