Operations of the Army During
Saturday.

The enemy did not renew the assault on
Saturday, and the operations of the two
armies during that day were confined to
skirnishing along the lines. Occasional
cannonading was heard in the city, but
persons coming in from the front assured
the public that no fighting of consequence
was going on, and that the two armies were
resting, as it We're, from the labors of the
struggle OF the day preceding. The city
was kept therefore comparatively quiet, and
the Impression seemed to be that Grant was
too severely punished, and too busy in
caring fol his dead and wounded, to renew
the fight We had whipped them at every
point, and so passed Saturday, giving as
little anxiety of the success of our army as
it did news. 1t was quiet day in the city,
and quiet day in the army.j

From the FetersDurg Register June
Arrival Of Yankee Prisoner,

Prisoners continue to pour in from Gen.
Grants army in squads of thirties and fifi
ties. During Saturday the number that SO
arrived and took up lodgings at the Libby
amounted to about three hundred. They
were all the same hungry, forlorn, blue bel
lied, wOltish, wretched looking set, and seem
to be delighted to get their carcasses out
of harms reach.
AS squad Of them were nearing the
prison, q Confederate sailor who was stand
ing by, cried out in that honest, off hand
manner for which his class is proverbia,
"What are you all doing here? If we should
go into your country and murder and rob
like you, We would be swung by the halter
,'Ah," replied one of the Yankees, more
honest than the rest: there is no use of
talking, you Outright US. But why don't
you whip the whole army?" "Give us the
chance" said the sailor, land we will
Haven't we done it wherever we had the
chance?" "Thats So" said the Yankee,
"but," adding with significant nod, "why
don't you whip the whole army?" "Well,"
replied the sailor, "didnt | tell you only to
give us the chance and we will?' But re-
sponded the Yankee, make the chance
Only try it, and you will do it, This re-
mark is significant as indicating the morale
and spirit of Grants army. We think,
like the Yankee, if We only try we will
crush the whole army. .
Another incident that occurred. As the
Yankees were at halt gentleman, obser
wing a rather good looking foreigner among
the number-and stepping up to him said,
What are you doing down here fighting US,
you are 70 Yankee No sir, said the tel
low, hanging his head. Why then do you
come to fight US continued the gentleman,
If you have no common sympathy with the
Yankees?' We'll, sir said the fellow, i
will tell you. am a foreigner, landed in
New York not more than a month ago,
got drunk, and the first thing | knew /
found myself in camp
This fellows story is, no doubt, true.-I
Such is the game that is carried on in the
large Northern cities, the government
agents falling upon every emigrant ship
that comes in like hawk upon his prey. |
Many Of these prisoners seemed half
starved, and said that their army was suf, !
|ering for food.

Important changes have taken place
within the past two days on the Georgia
front. The enemy have abandoned their
works above d alias, and are withdrawing
their mas ses and concentrating in the
strong Notifications nearer the Etowah.-
This contraction of their lines is evidently
for the purpose of securing the establish

Gen. Grants Operations on the
James River. .eI
From the Enquirer of the 6th.I
Scouts report that on Saturday last the
enemy lowed up James River, above the
mouth of Powell's Greek, pontoon bridge
with sixty tents pitched upon it.. Perhaps
this is the bridge upon which Grant hoped
to pass after breaking through the lines OF
General Lee But as be failed to force his
way through, the aforesaid pontoon bridge
| may prove useless above the mouth Of
Powelrs Greek, which is, in Prince George
County. ,itG.f3
This constructed pontoon bridge will
span the river, and should Grant reach the
James River near Harrison's Landing, OF
opposite City Point, it would enable him t.
throw his army speedily across, and push
on to Petersburg, while General Lee was
making the circuit around by Richmond
The South side Is now the point for which
Grant is making-he has abandoned al
hope of taking Richmond except by seise
by taking possession of Petersburg, and
with bis cavalry cutting and destroying thu
Danville Railroad and starving the city
into surrender. He is endeavoring to re
port the Vicksburg campaign. His failure
to cross the Chickahominy may ma
teri ally alter his plans; but should've onc'
succeed in fixing himself on the south side
either north or south of the Appomattax
while his army would be no more formida-
BILE there than anywhere else, his cavalry
coald do SO much damage and put US t.
many in conveniences. 81.
It is rumored that a cavalry comman
from the James River crossed the Chicka
hominy yesterday, at the Forge Bridge, il
Charles City County, going to Grant, al
my. 1t is supposed to be a party recon
| nOitering the way for Grant to the Jane
Ri yer. All circumstances point to Grant
moing over the James, if Lee will perm
| him. SO" ,e ."s

Mr.. Foote then goes on to say that if
Mcclellan is elected, plan of peace will
be proposed by two Conventions, composed
separately of Northern and Southern dele
cations.
The Southern delegation, says Mr.. Foote,
that reconstruction under Federal institu-
tions is inexpedient both for the North and
South. The following is as Mr.. Foote as
serts, the peace plan of the South, which
he intimates, if Mcclellan is elected, will
be adopted by the Peace Democracy: Let
peace be agreed upon on the basis Of South
ern independence. Let the two republics
into which the country formerly known as
the United States would be then divided,
mutually yield up all property heretofore
confscated, and restore all that has been
heretofore made the subject Of capture IN
war. Let Just indemnify be rendered on
either part for all needless injury done
private property in violation of the estab-
lished usages of civilized war. Lets league,
offensive and defensive, be agreed upon
between the sovereign States of the North
and the South, one of the provisions OF which
shall bring into existence a permanent
body of commissioners somewhat similar
to amphgictionic conval of old, with power
to provide for the speedy and satisfactory
settlement of international disputes as they
may arise, thus reasonably preventing the
breaking out of war, whilst another pro-
vision of the same league shall set up tho
new Monroe doctrine, thus securing
exclusive dominion to two allied republics
over every part of this continent, except
so far portion of territory thereof as may
now be legitimately held by European
mowers. Let most liberal commercial
treaty be also agreed upon with an extra
dition clause embodied therein, providing
for the reservation of fugitives from JUS
tice.
The Richmond Wing has the following
concerning the capture of Plymouth
North Carolina
The enemy has re taken Plymouth,
North Carolina. 1t will be remembered
that this place was stormed last summer
bv General Hoke at the head of his brigade,
and that as a reward for his gallantry he
was promoted to the rank of Major Gener-
al in the provisional army.
The enemy, after three days fighting,
passed up Middle River, and on the 8lst
come down the Roanoke towards the forts.
Our troops in the two forts, one above and
the other below Plymouth, on the Roanoke,
we're commanded by General Baker, who
fought until the upper fort was passed and
the lower one rendered useless by the dis
mounting of all the guns. We then evac-
uated Plymouth under a heavy shelling
from the enemy's gunboats- Our loss was
slight.
Plymouth is a place of comparatively
little Importance to Us, except as check to
the enemys gunboat incursions into the
interior of the State of North Carolina.
The Enquirer, in its account of this cap
ture, which is similar to the above, asks the
