WARRINGTON CRY, June ls, ls6I-lo p. m.
Major General Dir, Nsp York
The following dispatch from Gen. Grant,
dated yesterday, II a.. m, at City Point, has
beeu received at this Department.;
"The 9th corps this morning carried two
more redoubts forming part OF the defeDces OF
Petersburg, capturing four hundred and fifty
prisoners and four guns. Our successes are
being followed.
"Our forces drew out from within fifty yards
of the enemy's entertainments at Coal Harbor,
made flank movement of an average OF about
dfty-hye miles march, crossing the Chicka-
hominy and James rivers, the latter two thou
sand feet wide and eighty-four feet deep at
point of crossing, and surprised the enemy's
rear at Petersburg. This was done without
the loss Of a wagon or piece OF art illery, and
only about one hundred and fifty stragglers
picked up by the enemy. In covering this
move, Warren's corps and Wilson's cavalry
had frequent skirmishing with the enemy, each
losing from fifty TO sixty killed and wounded,
but inaicting an equal, If not greater, loss on
the enemy.
"The 18th corps (smith's) were transferred
from White House to Bermuda Hundred by
water; moved out near to Petersburg the night
Of their arrival, and surprised, or, rather cap
tured, the very strong works northeast OF Pc
tersburg before sufficient force could be got in
Joined the night following this capture by the
Cd 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.
can the troops are now up except two diyi.
sions covering the wagon trains, and they will
be up tonight. The enemy, in their endeavor
to reinforce Petersburg, abandoned their en-
trenchments in front Of Bermuda Hundred.
They no doubt expected troops from north OF
the James river to take their place before we
discovered 1t. Butler took advantage of this,
and moved force at once upon the railroad
and plank road between Richmond and Peters
burg, which hope to retain possession OF.
"Too much credit cannot be given the troops
and their commanders for the energy and for
titude displayed the last five days. Day and
night has been all the same, no delays being
allowed on any account"

Destruction OF Rebel Trnn,port in
ChnrleGtOn HarbOr,

NhnIiebtoh hhEDOfs
The Palmetto Herald Of the 10th has the fol.
lowing account of the late affair in Charleston
harbor:
At daylight on Tuesday morning a rebel
steamer, supposed to have been carrying sup.
plies to Sumter, was discovered fast aground
about three thousand yards distant. lmme-
diatey our batteries opened on her. A few
shots gave US the range, when the solid shot
began to go through her, and the shell to burst
inside of her. The practice was splendid. Shot
after shot would pass car rthroug her, and then
go bounding and skipping far up the harbor
Some would hit the water this side of her and
ricOchet, striking beautifully, scattering splin-
ters in all directions. johnson, Slmpkip
"The Bull of the Woods, )" Moultrie, and others
all opened In a general engagement. Gregg
and Chatleld would bang away at the steamer
as II disdainlng the rebel fire, then suddenly
send q shell spinning into johnson, bursting
right over head, or tearing up the embank-
ment fearfully. Wagner, too, was busy show
ing the rebs that though she usually preserves
dignhed silence, she Is none the less able to
give them good work when in the humor.
The firing continued for several hours, and
then slackened up, as the tide rose higher and
higher, till the decks of the steamer remaining
under water proved that that spot was to be
her grave. Ia the afternoon, as the tide low
cred, exposing her again to view, several more

of the wreck from the left battery with the aid
of good glass. This "left battery" formerly
one of the main works engaged In the reduction
OF Fort Sumter, still remains, in a great meas
nre, as 1t was left by Gen. Gilmore. II will
ever be memorable as tho scene of one of the
greatest achievements of the war and of the
century. No casualties whatever occurred on
our side, though some shells burst uncom fort
ably near. One entered an embrasure where
six men were at work, knocking the sponge
from the hand of one man, and throwing dirt
into the eyes of another and over ALL 1t was
certainly narrow escape.
