NV EoRK, June 25.-The Lynchbur
Republican says Crook and Ayereu reach
ed Quaker Church, four miles from there
on the left Of the Confederate lines, where
considerable Of sbirmish occurred with
the Consedoraies under ImBoden, wherein
the Federsls gained some advantages, but
the Confaderates rallied to their original
line. On Saturday morning the Federala
advanced in two lines Of battle to capture
our outer line Of intrenehments, but we're
repulsed. They again rallied, but were
again repulsed.
There l7ss was from two hundred and
fifty to three hundred.
1t was aseertained Saturday night that
the Federal killed was seyeuty-fye.
A general engagement on Saturday was
anticipated. A scout who arrived Saturday
night reports ZOO Yankee cavalry Saturday
evening three miles this side of Campbell
Court House, in southerly direction, pre-
sumed 10 be endeayoring to cut the road
again. The scout reported body Of 10000
Federal cavalry moving on Hard's bridge
the direction Of Danvills, supposed to tap
the Richmond and Danville road.
Unofficial information Gays the Yankees
under Hunter were overtaken in their re-
treat at Liberty, and large number cap
tured.
The Tribune's Washington special Of the
oath says the second corps moved to a posi-
ton halfway between the Norfolk and
Petersburg and the Weldon Railroad. The
enemy in force fronted two sides of the lat
ter road ard lively skirmishing occurred,
but the enemy was found to be too strong
and our advance fell back TO the main body.
On Wednesday our army was put in line Of
battle ready FOR action.
Heavy canDonading was heard at City
Point Thursday.
On Tuesday evening the rebel cavalry
under Rosser dashed into our lines, but i'm
mediately disappeared on discovering our
forces.
A small party Of rebels belonging to
HIPS, Longstreet's and Ewen's corps, we're
captured, showing those troops 70 be in the
front.
The Herald's Washington special says
heavy firing was heazl from City Point On
Thursday, up 10 noon, in the direction Of
Petersburg, and gradually mo7ed around
towards the left on Thursday night. The
opinion is prevalent that one Of the grand
est operations of the war is now in pro
gross.
Passengers report steeples and towers at
Petersburg shot away.
The Washington Stsr Of last evening says:
Grants army occupies q position in the
pine woods near the outskirts Of Petersburg,
lately occupied by the rebels, including al
our works on the South side OF the Appoma-
tox
There is only one railroad between Rich
mond for all practical purposes.
Cur guns stop all continuous eommunica-
lion by rail between Richmond and points
South.
So long as Grant likes he can thus hold
the enemy BY the throat 1T Petersburg.
Secretary Dana, who arrived from head
quarters says our entire loss since crossing
James river is not over 10000, while the
rebel loss Is proportionarely as great.
The Tribune's correspondent with But
Ter, 2Ist, says Foster with his troops moved
north Of James river to position within
nine miles Of Richmond, and intends in
trenching himself. This greatly puzzles
the rebels.
