diattOn.
From the London News, 18th.
Amongst the contingencies which, though
perhaps remote cannot be dismissed from the
calculations of prudent men of business, is the
possibility of an arrangement between the con-
tending parties in America, and, consequently,
the release OF the stores of pent-up cotton in
the South. These events, though they would
doubtless rebound to the benefit of the COM
munity at large, by stimulating industry and
cheapeniDg TO the cOmmOner commodities now
only attainable at exorbitant prices, would
probably, if brought about suddenly, and with
out prolonged period of warning, so COM
pletely overthrow the basis of the cotton trade
in all parts of the world as to entail mercantile
embarrassments of most serious nature.
This would be another instance of much pub
lie good being gained at the cost If great indi-
vldual loss and disaster. According to the views
OF some these events, whenever they occur,
will arise through the financial pressure which
is now growing up in the North, and among
the indications of which are the rise in the
price oil gold to seventy-nine per cent. pre-
MUM, and in the New York exchange on Lon
don to one hundred and nineLy-seven. Even
movements of this character, however, produce
less grave impression upon the minds of the
financial public in Europe, than is occasioned
by the uDjustitable act of the New York legis-
lature in decreasing, in direct violation of the
previously existing UNDERSTANDING to say
pledges that the interest on the state bonds
held abroad shall be paid in the deprecated
currency instead of in gold. America may
sustain many severe blows, but it is question:.
BILE whether the civil war will be attended with
any injury to her credit and material welfare
equal to that which will be inflicted should this
act be endorsed and initiated by other legisla
lures, including Congress. European holders
of Federal anu State Securities are looking
with great anxiety for indications that this new
financial policy is condemned, as it deserves to
be, by public opinion and by the supreme gov
eminent

FROM GRANTS ARMY.

New YORK, May 3O.-l Special to Times. +
Giants reconnaissance on Wednesday showed
the rebels in full force and holding powerful
position in our immediate front, somewhat in
advance of Little River. The ground was also
very favorable to him and he had occupied
every hour in terrifying. If driven back from
here even he had an deliberately prepared line
of the South Anna to fall back upon. Grant
therefore determined to recrOss the North
Anna, swinging round to the left over the Pa.
munky, and leave Lee to enjoy his position.
A cavalry demonstration made strong d.
version on the enemy, while Grants move
ment took place, which proved successful.
When this has accomplished the rebels were
taken completely by surprise.
The Heraids correspondent says wounded
rebel officer says their loss in the late battles
will reach 10000.
New York, May 3O-Time,s special Gays
Ledley's brigade of the 10th regulars, 35th,
seth, 57th and 59th Massachusetts,, and 14th
regulars met with repulse on crossing the
North Anna They had crossed the river and
were driving in the rebel skirmishers when a
battery of four or six guns, and the battery
opened terrible fire of grape and can
mister. The brigade fell back to cover in a
piece of woods, when in the height of thun-
derstorm the rebels charged and drove our
men towards the river, just as another brigade
came up and checked the advance OF the enc
my. Four hundred and fifty of the brigade
were killed wounded and missing.
New YORK, May 3O.-World's special says
there was considerable skirmishing on Friday,
but there was no heavy fighting near Hanover
Court House. Grants movements are pro-
crossing well and rapidly. Most of the casu-
alties are among New England regiments.

having brought up the rear on our former
right wing over the North Anna. Burnside
will cross at County Ridge and bring up our
rear.
The army moves with celebrity never known
before. We will make twenty miles before
night.
Sheridan is ahead, securing the country.
Lee evidently thought We were endeavoring to
turn his left and give battle on the north side
of the South Anna; but he is outgeneraled,
and by night he will be within four hours
march of Richmond. Once getting Lee in his
works we 60 round his flank and into his rear.

ATLANTA, May 18.-Thus far the vigilance OF

REBEL ACCOUNTS.
from the Atlanta Confectionery. MAY IL

From the Atlanta COnfederacy, May II.
By the thanking movements of Sherman the
two hostile armies in our front are gradually
shifting into new situation. By private dis.
patches we were Monday morning informed OF
the change of the telegraph Office from Resaca
to Calhoun. Our own correspondent writes
from Calhoun, under date of Sunday, that oil
moved to Crossville. The enemy are still at
tempting to flank, and it would be difficult
even to conjecture where the next heavy en-
counter may take place. The impression is
universal that Gen. Johnston has his adversary
exactly in the position designed for him.
Sherman evidently believes Johnston is run.
ming, and the latter knows precisely what the
enemy and himself are about
If excuse or explanation were requisite to
some, the mysterious motives of our reticent
Commander.in Chief in shifting with the en-
envy, it would be made patent to the simplest
understanding that he desires the very devel
Opments that are now being made on the part
OF the Yankee General. Every advance by the
left flank exposes the more the flank and rear
much further from his depot of supplies, which,
if the road has been destroyed. would mate
rally Inconvenience the campaign of the in
vading party. 1t is an accepted principle in
military science that q river is much safer in
ones front than his rear. When the enemy
has crossed the OOstanelula he will be in immi-
nent danger of destruction; for we believe
Johnston will hurl his army en- masse upon
him.
We have conversed with many intelligent
soldiers among the wounded who came down
last evening. When they lett the field Sunday
night the Oostanaula River was our line; our
army was on this side of the river and that of
the enemy on the other. It was said that one
corps of the enemy, perhaps had crossed at
the ford west of Calhoun. The Resaca bridge
was burned Sunday morning. In the fighting
on Sunday our whole army was not engaged.
Indeed, the greater portion of it has not vet
been under fire, having been held in reserve
for some purpose, known only to the God OF
battles and Joseph E. Johnston.
Our men fought all day Sunday behind the
works they had thrown up Friday night and
had strengthened the night previous. At four
o'elockin the afternoon Of Sunday there was
general charge on our part, in which the di-
visions of Cheatham, Stewart and Stevenson
