The Campaign In virginia.

On Sunday there was lull in the terrible
storm Of battle near Petersburg, and our army
enjoyed . much needed day Of rest. In the
four days preceding Sunday great deal had
been done. Our whole army, hastily thrown
across the James river, had in that short time
been concentrated at Petersburg, and repeat
eddy hurled with terrible fury, and with great
success, though with great loss also, against
the formidable intrenchmsnts At that place.
Petersburg appears TO have been completely
encircled on the southern side BY triple line
OF defence, stretching from the Appomattox
above the city to the Appomattox below It,
and supported at this latter extremity by bat
teres of heavy guns on the other side of that
river. Each Of these lines was strengthened
.. important points by redoubts and redans,
mounted with cannon 10 profusion, and each
fine was nearly continuous.
Against the right Of the first Of these lines
General Smith advanced on Wednesday, and
If there had been sufficient force up to have
made the general assault at that time II is
probable that the place could have been
carried with much less slaughter, as 1t was
then only held by General Wises brigade.
General Smith established himself In the works
be bad taken, and on the the next day the re-
mainder Of this line was carried by the Second
and part Of the Ninth corps, all except a very
strong redoubt which considerably annoyed
our left until Friday at daylight, when IL was
gallantly carried by part of General Burn
sides corps
There then remained between our troops and
Petersburg two formidable lines-no longer
held by Wise, but by at least thirty thousand
Of General Lees troops. Against the outer Of
these lines general assault was made on Fri
day afternoon, and the line was carried though
with great loss. On Saturday General Burn
side captured the enemy's deiences on the Nor
folk Railroad, and on that day an unsuccessful
attempt was made to carry the enemy's inner
sns bv storm. Such was the position 1T Peters

REBEL BARBARTY.-In the desperate ex-
tremities to which they are reduced the rebels
are becoming like savages in their ferocity
Their last reported expedient of awarding off
the Yankee fire" from Charleston is the ex-
posure Of certain Union officers, held as prison
ers Of war, to the chances Of being torn to
pieces by the shells directed against the city.
The Secretary Of War has properly ordered q
similar experiment, by way of retaliation; and
if q few rebel officers, exposed upon the Union
batteries OF Morris Island, will not bring
the rebel commander at Charleston to terms
We guess that by covering the decks Of two or
three Monitors with rebel prisoners Of war, and
steering with them right up the channel to
Charleston, would accomplish the object de-
sired.

AMERICAN SoLDIERs.-The desperately hard
fights continued through three days at the in
trenchments around Petersburg are without q
parallel even in this war. After the FIRST battle
of Bull run the reports Of the operations Of our
army were received with shouts Of dersion in
Europe and it was publicly and impudently
declared from half dozen different sources
that the Northern people would not fight. We
were declared to be a contemplate horde OF
tradesmen and money changers sharp enough
at bargains, but entirely without thu lofty spi-
rt that leads men to risk their lives in battle.
Those assertions have been amply answered on
many bloody field, but never with such terri
BILE dstinctness as in the last fights. No such
battles as these are fought in Europe, and with
any two European armies face to face one or
the other would inevitably give way before
there had been = 1.-THE Of the carnage that
marked the assaults of Thursday, Friday and
Saturday last.
We have given evidence In this war all
through Of the possession Of military power
that may well alarm some European govern
ments-of power sufficient to cope at once
with both England and France; and with . very
small army of such men as are now on the
James river We could drive Macmillan out Of
Mexico in six months, however strongly he
might be supported by the Powers interested
in the destruction of the Monroe doctrine,
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1864-06-22

The RISE IN GoID.-Gold yesterday ran up
to 2O3 This advance is attributed to two
causes-Grant's desperate fighting before
Petersburg and the Congressional bill to
prevent speculation in gold. People be-
came alarmed at this rise in gold, but un-
necessarily so. The public should feel no I'M
easiness. The Gold bill, instead of preventing
gold speculations will bring about a different
state of things. 1t will have tendency to un-
settle Chase's plan for making paper the gene
raj medium of currency, and hasten the return
of the period when specie will be the only
medium of currency, when the prices of pro-
visions will be reduced to a reasonable stand
ard, and when q man will not be obliged to
measure out his paper money in payment for
potatoes, parsley or early greens, measure for
measure, just as they are reported to do in the
rebel States, or have done in former revolu-
tions, the French particularly, when assignats
sold by weight for go much garlic, or for so
many beets or carrots. The sooner the specie
basis is restored the better for all, and nobody
should buy or sell more than necessary until
that period arrives. The rise In gold yester-
day, 1--WE repeat is not owing to Grants opera
tons or to the Gold bill, not more so than is
the great rise in the prices of living for the
past two or three years to be attributed to
similar causes; but 1t is the natural result
OF bad legislation in the early stages of the re-
bellion; it is owing to Chases shortsighted
views in regard to the effects Of stupendous
imitation Of the currency, and has followed his
mischievous financial schemes up to this hour.
II l. true he has recently made an effort to re-
trieve his position BY adopting the advice we
gave him about the time We fairly entered upon
the present awful oontest-that was, to borrow
good money, instead Of printing paper cur
renoV that has no limit 30 long IS the printing
presses do not break down. We fear he has been
too tardg in adopting the proper course. We
might have had currency based upon specie
to this day had Chase started right; but,
- 10 did not, the people must continue
to bear, with all the patriotism aud pa
thence they can, the evils and burthens aris-
Ing from an absurd financial policy, adopted
BY bad and incompetent rulers at the begin
ming of our war troubles.

The ABUSES BIZ THE CRY RAnRoADs-A
movement has been started in which the Com
mon Council has taken q prominent part, rela-
tive to the abuses alleged to be chargeable
upon the city railroad companies in the matter
OF laying rails, keeping the streets in order,
&c. A committee has been appointed, who
have already had one meeting on the subject
at which the grievances OF the truckmen and
carmen were especially presented There are
without doubt, just grounds for many of these
complaints; but in some cases tho grievances
complained Of may be laid at the door of tho
city Street Commissioner as we'll as upon the
shoulders Of the railroad companies The
streets through which these roads have been
lawfully permitted to run are in many places
In bad condition, from causes arising alike
from the inattention Of the city authorities and
from the fault Of the companies. The COM
panies are to blame for having their rails laid
imperfectly, projecting, in some cases, several
inches above the level Of the street pavement,
and the city is at fault in not attending pro-
perly to the street paving. Between the two,
those in the community having anything to do
with vehicles and horsefcsh are much ANNOYED
and put to much inconvenience and expense.
The whole subject can be settled by the Legis-
lature, whose duty it is to pass general law
on the subject, obligating the railway com
panies to have their tracks laid with rails that
shall create no perceptible unevenness between
the track and the street, and by amending the
city charter, or, otherwise, compel the Corpora-
ton to keep the streets in better travelling
condition than some of them are in at present.
