PErERsBURG, June 2l.-To day has been unremsrk :
ed by any event of special interest Some little
nonading aud desultory ssirmishng has taken pace,
and few shell have been thrown into the city.
The enemy is strongly fortified in his lines reaching
from the James river across the Appomaox, by Jor-
dams farm, to the Jerusalem Plank road distance of
miles,
The weather Is intensely warm, but our troops In
excellent plight, though constantly subjected 10 the
heat aud fatigue of lying in the trenches
Grants purpose is not yet developed. 1t is supposed
however he is medAtng another of his grand raids.
Oar losses in all the fights of the last week for the
possession of this place not one thousand ia
killed and wounded. That of the enemy is computed
at five to six thousand
Beauregards defense and preservation of the city is
regarded BY all as the most brilliant ault OF the war
having with an inferior force confronted and success
fully kept back Grants whole army.
The enemy are reported crossing more troops from
the north to the south side of the AppomattOx this

COEREcuoE.-SOmO days ago we stated that Tom
Charles, the free negro who was shot and killed last
Saturday morning in Mr.. James Andersons opion patch
had, during the of his eventful life, upon
VOtiOn Of larceny been sold into tlavery by order Of
the HUI tings Court and that upon that occasion bo
bought by some "trihing white man." We made this
statement under the impression tina! he had been bought
By James E. Goodwin, or S>mo such character. We
learned yesterday tina. in this had done injustice to
a very worthy man whom Wa have known Tor years,
and Who buying tn, negro in good faith and at high
price, hired him to Good yn We regret aso to learn
that Tom Charles who lost bis lie attempting to steal
few paIsry onions, WAS once connected with an inau
entail newspaper in this city in the capacity OF press
man. How are the mighty fallen.

TIE NARKErs-Bolh the First and Second Markets
were yesterday well supplied with butter, eggs fruits
and vegetables, and the prices thereof showed symp-
toms of downward tendency. This was more obvi-
ously the case in the Fst Market L. ia noticeable
fact and one we hope cur readers will profit by, that
prices are always lower in the FIRST than in the Second
Market Yesterday eymlins were S. a dozen in the
upper or Second Market while in the lower or First
they went begging at 81.

Joshua Ovens. tie charged with stealing watch
from Capt. VIM UarksOn, who had been sent back to
the Mayor by the Hastings Court in consequence Of an
error in the Mayors previous warrant Of commitment,
was re-examned and rs-senton. 1t is to be hoped the
papers are right this time.
Allen, slave Of Joseph Cupepsr, and Frank, slave Of
VIM Graenor, were charged with burglariOusly enter
ing the house OF Ternee Rooney and stealing $780,
1t appeared that on the night of the robbery these
