From Gen. sherman's Army.

WASHINGTON. July ~.
The latest official dispatches from General
Shermsn's army state that he is steadily draw
ing his lines closer around Atlanta. He has
as yet received no tidiDgs of the cavalry force
sent out to cut the Macon and Columbus rail-
road, which is the only means OF escape for
the rebel army from Atlanta.
New YORK, July 90
The Tribunes Washington dispatch OF the
2sth, says dispatches received this evening
from Gen. Sherman's army, state that there
has been no material change.
Atlanta is within grasp of Gen. Sherman,
and could be occupied at any moment, but the
capture or destruction of the rebel army is
what he is contending for.
The rebel loss since our army crossed the
Chattahooche, is estimated at $1,000.
Gen. Stoneman is soon expected back from
his raid.
WASHINGTON, July 20.
A dispatch received here states that Hood
made efforts to renew the assault upon Gen.
Sherman's lines since the battle OF Friday;
they were, however, feeble efforts, which were
easily and promptly repealed, with loss 10
Sherman of only about 100 men.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PIcSIcs.-The Park street
and First Parish lUnitarianl Sunday Schools
held their picnic yesterday at Quahog Island,
going by the schooner Olive Elizabeth, towed
by the tug Warrior. They had a good time
as usual. The chowder and clam back got up
by Mr.. James Freeman was excellent, though
the latter would have done better if it had
been better done. 1t was stated on the Island
that the first Sunday School excursion ever
had in our city was got up by the Park street
Society in Rev. Jason Whitmans time, some
twenty-five years ago-it was a sail in large
pleasure schooner among the islands.
The st. Lawrence street Sunday School
held their picnic yesterday at Diamond Cove,
going by the schooner II. Prescott, towed by
the Warrior. They had al excellent excur-
sion.
The Central Church Sabbath School went
to Buxton Grove by the York & Cumberland
cars. The attendance was good, and a very
pleasant time was enjoyed by every one. All
the arrangements made by the committee were
handsomely carried out.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToMAc,
July %.
The arrival of some troops in the vicinity
OF Bermuda Hundreds day or two ago at
tracted the attention of the enemy and caused
them to believe that an advance on Richmond
by way OF Malvern Hill, was intended. A
force of two rebel divisions was Immediately
Withdrawn from Petersburg and sent down to
check the movement. To counteract this the
10Th corps was detached and sent across the
James river, and at half past six yesterday
morning our advance met the rebel skirmish-
ers in open field opposite Jones' Neck, with a
battery in position at the edge of the woods.
On the further side OF the field long line
of skirmishers was thrown out, who soon drove
the rebels to their breastworks, where they
were kept hotly engaged while a brigade of
the first division moved around on the left OF
the enemys line, and getting on their flank
charged and drove them FROM their guns into
the woods, capturing 80 or 60 prisoners, four
guns and Il quantity of small arms.
The enemy fell back on reinforcements who
occupied strong works, built there two years
ago. Our troops followed taking up posi-
tion in their front and TANKS, and before this
reaches you the entire force may be captured
or routed. The guns taken were four IL
FOUNDER PARROTS, marked, May 10Th, near
Richmond" and are the same captured from
the 18th corps at Drury's Bluff last May
Our loss was only half dozen wounded none
seriously.
Gen. Grant rode to the front in the after
noon in company with General Hancock, and
viewed the position occupied by the enemy.
He seemed well pleased with the mornings
work.
Gen. Fosters command had lively time
with the enemy yesterday at this place. His
force being weak fell back to stronger posi-
ton, which he held until the arrival of the I'd
corps. He lost forty or fifty wounded during
the day.
An attack on Warren's front was expected
yesterday, but was not made. Picket and ar
tilery firing was INDUCED in to the usual ex-
tent, and was sharper than usual in front Of
the 18th corps.

WARE, j., PRESIDING

FRIpAy.--Claus Mindermeen, libellant, VS.
Captain OF brig Brill.
James Wallace, libellant, vs.. Same.
In these cases, which we reported last week,
Judge Ware decreed that the libel Of Minder-
meen should be dismissed without costs, and
without prejudice TO any suit that he might
bring in any proper Court for the recovery of
his wages.
In the case of Wallace, Judge Ware de-
creed SOL aud costs for libellant.
Howard & Cleaves. Shepley & Dana.
Manuel Sanchez, libellant, VS.. John Berry,
captain OF the brig Martha A. Berry.
This is a libel brought by libellant against
the respondent TO recover balance of wages
due him. The libellant does not understand
the English language, nor is he acquainted
with our currency. He contends when paid
off he received but Sl0.50, when there was
actually due him 5000 The respondent
contends that the libellant shipped as an able
bodied seaman, but on the voyage found that
he had but little knowledge of seamanship,
and claims that the amount paid him is all
that he is entitled to. Not finished.

HARBoR FoRTIFIcATIoNs.-Weu understand
that the suspension of work at Fort Preble
will not involve the discharge Of the workmen
employed there, as they will be transferred to
other forts In the harbor. Indeed, this sus-
pension win probably be but temporary, al
though it is believed that the character of the
works there will be somewhat changed from
the original plan, and so as to supplement the
comprehensive system of defences now in
contemplation by the Engineer Bureau, which,
when completed according to the design, will
make an impregnable fortress of this city.

The Defeat OF Lincoln the only Hope
Offke Rebels.

The Alabama Uaionist furnishes the
Chattanooga Gazette with the following
extract from a speech of Hon. S. l. NJ
Curry, delivered at Talladegs, Ala, in
April last Mr.. Curry Was member ofthe
United States House Of Representatives
at the breaking out of the war, and is at
present a member Of the rebel Congress-
He said at TalIadega;
again, my hearers, we should re-
member that much depends upon the
choice the Northern people make for a
President the eoming fall There viii be
at least two parties represented, to-wit;
the war party, who will doubtless make
an effort to have Lincoln retained, and
the peace party, who win make a bold
effort to elect man pledged to give the
Confederates justice and restore peace
long desired and ar3ently prayed for
peace--to our bleeding country. We
hope, we trust we pray that they may
be sueeesssfui. Tremendous cheer
ing.
Should they be successful, such a
shout as was never before heard would
spread over our afflicted South. Songs,
songs Of praise, would ascesd from every
heart to the mansions of Paradise, and
the many myriads Of holy angels that
resonnd the bright and dazzling throne
of omnipotenee, would join in the eho-
rus and tune their harps to new song
Of Liberty to man on earth. If such be
the happy result, our independence will
be forever established. Cheers
But should Lincoln be reelected our
fond hopes viii be dashed to the ground;
our Independence but thing dreamed
OF, for we have exhausted our resources,
and could not possibly hope to be able
to continue the war four years longer.
Past experience has taught us that we
could expect no favors At the hands of
the indominable tyrant and unsurper
Abraham Lincoln. Let us reposs our
srus. ia the God ofbattles and anxiously
await the result.

BENEVOLENT INSTRUCTIONS

BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.
Notwithstanding the entire failure of
the Legislature to make the appropria-
tions required for the support Of these
Institutions. they have been kept open,
through your efforts, and the expenses
regularly and promptly paid. The az
gregate amount expended to the 30th
April, 1864, is ssventy-nine thousand
seven hundred and four dollars and
ninety-three cents (T9, 704 93), being ex-
penses for fourteen months Of the Insti
tuts for the Blind and Asylum for the
Deaf and Dumb, and expenses for twelve
months of the Hospital fer the Insane, so
far as warrants for the same have been
presented for payment A portion Of the
claims for which warrants have been
drawn, on account Of saleries of superin-
tsndenta, etc, have been paid out Of the
State Treasury, and, in estimating the
exact expenditures, should be taken into
account This is done in the compare
tive statements hereto attached.
At the time you undertook 10 defray
the expenses of these Institutions, it was
estimated by the officers in charge that
about six thousand dollars CSC, ,000, J
would be required to pay the iAdebted-
ness then outstanding, and that seventy
three thousand dollars would be required
TO pay the expenses for the, then, ensu-
ing year The extraordinary adyaace,
hswever, which was realized during the
year in the prices Of provisions, fuel, la
Dor, etc, was not anticipated, yet it will
be observed that the amount called for
has exceeded the estimate only twenty
dollars and twenty-seyen cents ($20 27l
Within the past shree years most Of the
articles consumed by the Institutions
have rapidly enhanced in valne, and
now we find them frsm from one hun
dred 1l00l to four handrod (400) per
cent Kigher than they were during the
rear in msdiAtely proceeding the present
war A careful comparison Of the ex-
penses Of the year, with the expenses of
the year before the war, when supplies
of all kinds were plenty and cheap, will
show that, notwithstandiag the constant
expansion of prices, the several Institu-
tions have been carried on with COM
mendahle economy--the Hospital for
Insane costing only about one hundred
dollars more than in 1860; and the ex-
penses Of the Institute for the Blind and
Deaf and Dumb being actually less than
they were in that year These facts can
be more clearly demonstrated by refer.
enee to the following statements, which
have been made up from the official
records Of the Trustees.
