NEW YORK, June 15.-The Times special
of the 18th says: A scout from the front
says that Sheridan has not been heard from,
and is supposed to have reached Charlottes-
vile, on his way to Lynchburg.
The Tribune correspondent with Sher-
man, under date of June 1st, says: A con-
centrated movement of gigantic impor-
tance was successfully accomplished to-day
by Mcpherson, commanding the Army OF
the Tennessee, and Hooker, commanding
the Goth army corps. The nature of this
movement the public should not at present
know, and though the objects which this
bold and somewhat hazardous operation in
the face of the enemy may be executed be-
fore the copperhead press could tell South
ern readers our plans, yet prefer to wait
the progress OF events before disclosing it.
We are on the eve of bitter struggle, and
forty-eight hours may develop the plans of
two cautious, determined Generals, intent
OH the annihilation OF each others legions.
The Tribune's special from headquarters,
Cold Harbor, Va, 10th, says: Comparative
tranquility reigns along the line to-day, and
the men repose in security within their
trenches, but an occasional rifle ball or shell
from the enemy's works gives evidence of
his presence and readiness to defend HIM
elf.

The Department Of Western VII I.
ginfa--Hnnter's OpcratiOns--Im
portnnt Movements by 6ienera
Sheridan.
| New YORK, June u. - The Tribune's
special from Headquarters Department of
Western Virginia in the field, 10th, via
Beverly 18th, says: Hunter with the COM
bined forces of Crook and Avenll, mov, d
from Staunton at o'clock this morning.
We destroyed over three million dollars
worth of rebel property at Staunton, two
large cloth factories, and boot and shoe
factory and extensive foundries. General
Stahl was wounded in the shoulder during
the battle of Piedmont, while gallantly
leading his men. He retired from the field
for about half an hour, while the wound
was being dressed, when he again assumed
command.
The expedition sent to WayncsbOro has
just returned, having destroyed several
railroad bridges and torn up track. limbo
den's command Is thoroughly demoralized.
No force now of any account Is in Hunters
front, unless they are reinforced from Lees
army. Our prisoners, not paroled, number
ing 1910, sent through Buffalo Gap and over
mountains, arrived safe at Huttonsville, in
side our picket lines, on their way north.
l4th says: There are rumors in town to
day that Sheridan has reached Gordons-
vile, on his way to join Hunter and de-
stroyed the Richmond and Lynchburg
Railroad, one of the principal avenues BY
which the rebel capital was supplied. 1t Is
understood that he will pay visit to Char
louisville Immediately and accomplish all
damage possible to railroads and depots on
his pathway. lie Is accompanied by large
cavalry and artillery force, and Is fully able
to cope with any body OF the enemy with
whom he may fall in 1t was suspected ut
the time Sheridan started that he would
pass around the south side of Richmond
and sever the railroad communications
leading out of that city, but this portion of
the campaign has probably been entrusted
to Kautz, who once before raided over that
territory and is therefore familiar with the
country.
Since Sheridan's destruction has been dis
closed, the Importance of his movement is
made apparent. Hunters column is III
tended to act vigilantly and effectively in
the territory in which it is now engaged.
His mission is understood to be not only to
capture Charlottesville and Lynchburg, but
to complete a thororgh destruction of the
railroads connecting them with Gordons-
vile. With Sheridan's assistance he may
be enabled to penetrate still further into the
country and effect the capture of Danville.
1t is well known that the railroad lines
leading to the rebel capital, now taxed to
their utmost capacity, to supply the inhabi-
tants of Richmond and the immense army
of Lee. The people of Richmond are al
ready suffering from short rations, and if
the railroad lines leading to the immense
fields and depOsitaries in Western and
uth-Western Virginia and the Shenan-
doah Valley are cut of, the rebels will be
compelled to send away all non-combatants
and place the city in a state of siege.

The Alleged Frauds i'm the New
York Custom House.


WASHINGTON, June 15.-Mr. Hubbard, of
New York, made report in part to-day
from the committee appointed by the House
TO investigate alleged frauds in the New
York Custom House. The report COM
mences by epitomizing the different acts of
Congress and the Treasurer's instructions
authorizing and regulating the taking of
bonds from persons shipping goods from
neutral ports in proximity to the rebel do
minions. The first of these precautionary
bonds were taken in September, 1861; 1882
had been taken at the port of New York
prior to May, 1864. The committee develop
the fact that the bonds had not been re-
quired by any other collector than Mr..
Barney. .-...
The bonds have not proved effectual to
the stopment of trade. Goods covered by
them have been found on board of captured
blockade runners. No prosecutions had
been instituted on the bonds, on account of
the difficulties of making out the requisite
proofs, and because it was believed most all
the bonds taken under the Administration
Bond Bureau was fatally defective in essen
tial tormalities. The report details at length
wherein an insufficiency consists, and where
the responsibility rests. sl,, y, ~. .. 3.

THE CITY.

THE TwENTY-FoURTH REGIMENr-GooD
TIME AT CAMP CHAsE.--The Twenty Fourth
Ohio regiment, under command Of Col.
Cockerill, returned from the fronton Satur-
day to be mustered out of the service, hav-
ing served the three years for which they
enlisted with the highest credit. The regi-
ment left Ohio 1,09O strong, and returns
with about two hundred, but when its sick
and wounded are gathered up there win Re
probably two hundred and eighty or ninety
men to be mustered out. Its present Colo
mel entered the field as Lieutenant but
was promoted after the battle of Stone riv-
er, in which the regiment lost all its field
officers, killed, and large number of its
men. They have now with them their old
battle flags, or rather what was spared by
battle, Of which both bear the marks. One
staff had Its eagle shot away, and was per-
forated by four bullets. Four of the color
sergeants were killed while carrying the flag
in battle, and six Of its color guards.
There was no public demonstration of
any kind upon the arrival of the regiment
"a fact which does not speak well for the
forid patriotism of the authorities so often
ventilated in orders and speeches. Mr..
Kelsey, of this city, who was intimately
connected with the regiment throughout
it's service, yesterday got up little dem
onstration of welcome at his own expense.
He had magnificent lunch prepared for
the men at Camp Chase, which was served
to them by Mr.. and Mrs. Kelsey and their
two daughters. The collation. consisted of
an abundant supply of sandwiches, coffee,
cake, berries, fruit and drinkables, such as
are rarely found in soldiers commissary.
The men partook heartily and cheerily of
tile lunch, and everything passed off pleas
antly, good humoredly and agreeably.
Mr.. Galloway, of this city, made brief
speech of welcome to the men and officers
of the Twenty-Fourth, referring in eloquent
terms of praise to their services in behalf of
the country, and thanking them as citizen
for the valor and heroism they had dis
played upon so many fields. Col. Cockerill
responded in vigorous and appropriate
speech on behalf of the regiment, and the
ceremonies ended with the liveliest demon
stration of thanks to Mr.. Kelsey for his
generous and patriotic remembrance of his
former companions.
