WASHINGTON, June 1S-10 o. III.
The following dispatch from Gen Grant
dated yesterday at II o'clock a. m, at
City Point has been received by this de-
partment.
The 9th Corps this morning carried two
redoubts forming part Of the defences of
Petersburg, capturing 450 prisoners and
four guns.
Our successes are being followed up
our forces drew out from within fifty yards
of the intrenchments at Cold Harbor,
made flank movement, average of about
fifty miles march, crossing the Chickahom-
my and James river, the latter being 1000
feet wide and 81 feet deep at the point Of
crossing, and surprised the enemy's rear at
Petersburg.
This was done without the loss of wa
gon or piece of artillery, and only about
one hundred and fifty stragglers were picked
up by the enemy.
In covering this move, Warren's Corps
and Wilson's cavalry had frequent skir-
mishing with the enemy, each having from
fifty to sixty killed and wounded, but in
ficting an equal if not greater loss on the
enemy.
The 18th Corps, Smiths, we're transfer
red frcm White House to Bermuda Hun
dred by water 1t moved out near to
Petersburg in the night, anG captured the
very strong works northeast of Petersburg
before sufficient force could be got in them
by the enemy to hold them.
He was joined the night following this
capture by the I'd Corps, which in turn
captured more of the enemy's redoubts
further south, and this corps was followed
by the 9th with the result above stated.
All the troops are now up except two
divisions covering the wagon trains, and
they will be up tonight.
The enemy in their endeavors to reinforce
Petersburg, abandoned their intrenchments
in front of Bermuda Hundred They no
doubt expected troops from the north side
of James river to take their places before
| they were discovered
Butler took advantage of this and moved
force at once upon the railroad and plank
road between Richmond and PETERSBURG,
! which | hope to retain possession of.

WASHINGTON, June Is, 7 a m.
The movement of the Army of the
Potomac to the south side of Richmond,
across the Chickahominy and James rivers,
has progressed far enough to admit of the
publication of some general facts without
danger OF premature disclosure.
After several days preliminary prepare
ti0ns, the movement commenced on Sun
day night, The 18th Army Corps, under
command of Gen. Smith, marched to the
White House, and then embarked on trans
ports for Bermuda Landing.
General Wright's corps and Burmside's
moved to Jones Bridge, where they cross
ed the Chickahominy, and marched thence
to Charles city, Oh the James river. Han
cocks and Warren's corps crossed the
Chickahominy at Long Bridge, and march,
cd thence to Wilcox'S, on the James river
The James river was crossed by the Army
at Powhatan Point
A dispatch from General Grant, dated
Monday evening 81 o'clock, Headquart
ers, WilcOx's Landing, states that the ad-
vance OF our troops had reached that place,
and would commence crossing the James
river to morrow, Tuesday and that Smiths
corps would commence crossing at City
Point that night; that no fighting was re-
ported during the movement, except
little cavalry skirmishDg. Yesterday
(Tuesday) afternoon, at l o'clock, Gen.
Grant was at Bemuda Landing.
In a dispatch from him dated there, of
that date. he says:
"Our forces will commence crossing the
James river today. The enemy show no
sigus OF yet having brought troops to the
south side of Richmond Our movement
from Cold Harbor to the James river has
been made with great celebrity, and so far
without loss or accident"
An unofficial dispatch, dated at head
quarters, 500 p. m, says that Smiths
corps was coming in, 5000 having already
landed.

The Gold Spectators.

People are wondering why gold contin-
ues to advance when everything looks so
favorable for ultimate success in tie field.
New York papers throw some light on this
subject.
Says the Express:
"There is clique in Wall and William
streets and elsewhere striving to run up
gold to 200, expecting to sell out at large
profit"
Says the New York Herald:
"Wall street is in a measure, in the
hands of rebel sympathizers and direct reb,
ell agents, who create fictitious price for
the purpose of showing the embarrassed
condition of affairs at the North, to dis
pirit our people and give comfort to the
enemy and its agents"
The Express is copperhead paper
and the Herald "halfand- -half'-so
that our readers can see what element
is at work creating high prices. Add
ed to this the fact that the chairman
Of the "Patent Democratic National
Committee" is foreign Jew, agent for
the great spectators, the Rothschilds,
and no one need wonder that specuIa-
tors rule everything needed in living.
Its all done to aid the rebels.

Hoods ArnlY.

BLUE MouNTA1N, ALA. Saturday morning,
Octol er %, 1864 1t Is the prevailing opii,-
ion here that SIocum's goth corps of Yankee
soldiers still occupy Atlanta, and only that one,
but some prisoners, captured recently and
brought in yesterday, affirm that there are
three corps yet there and that Sherman with
four more had "bendcd" General Hoods army
in the march for Chattanooga and turned him
back in the direction Of this place. To this de-
u:ion OF theirs they owed their captarc, AS they
admitted, having been surprised by our torccs,
and they concluded Gen. Hoods movements
were very mysterious, and that his army was
entirely lost from Sherman. In this opinion
fully coincide. Ii it were not for Sherman's
superior numbers there would be no risk in
putting every confidence III General hoods S
success. There arc some who do not doubt it
even now while the disparity in numbers is
thought to bc great.
An officer yesterday told me that this differ
ence was daily growing less. Men were max
ing their appearance in the ranks again, with
gun and knapsack, who had not Lcen heard
from before in months-lyng in hospitals and
out Of the way. The tocsn Of forward march
has stirred up the smouldering fires of their
patriotism and hope, and their step is once
more firm and hearts buoyant.

vcton that there must cr n. n.cess;tute be speedv

and they tell you, because the Democratic par.
