DETAIL OF MOVEMENTS UP TO
JUNE 1ST.

New YORK, June 10.-The Tribune
ments to June lst May 2lst and 22nd
were devoted To rest at Cassville. On the
I'D order to move the next morning, OH
the direct road to Atlanta, was issued; at
the Etowah, the enemys pickets and
sharpshooters were met with. The army
crossed the river aud pushed on toward
Huntsville, skirmishing on the way and
reaehed Burnt Hickory and huntsville
on the 25th, leaving all Altoona and the
rebel forts apd big guns miles to the left
shus Ranking them. Towards evening
heavy firing was heard in ths front of
Hoeker's position. The troops hsrried
upJ bat reached the scene after dark. !.
Firing had ceased and they found that
Hooker had suddenly fallen upon the
enemy in swamp and driven him back.
Next morning another skirmish took
place and the rebels were again forced
back rapidly. They were followed cauti-
ously by our troops, when suddenly mask
ed batteries opened with destructive eff
feet on our men. They were cut down
by The score. Our loss is between two
and three hundred. On the 2Sth our ar
my was in position in front of the enemy,
strongly posted I miles from Dallas, the
next day tho enemy massed for an assault
on our works. For half an hour the
lighting was terrible and the slaughter of
the enemy great. He was driven back in
confusion, at the same time fearful at
tack was lsade on Nc Pherson on the right.
1t was repulsed; the enemy loseing be-
tween 2OUU and 5000. On the 3lst fee

We are informed by circular letter
from Gov. Brough since the draft came
of, that no draft should have taken place
in Ohio because our State had filed her
quota, and did not receive proper credit
for the men she had furnished. Every
drafted man, therefore, whowa compelled
to pay the commutation fee can have the
satisfaction Of knowing tnat he was s'oa"-
died out of $500 either through the con-
nivance or ignorance of Gov. Brough. 1t
could not have been through ignorance
for the Secretary of War officially an
nounced long before the draft took place,
that Ohios deficiency was less than two
thousand. Here is the Governors pre-
else language: "Present indications are,
that with correct enrolment lists, Ohio
would not have been subjected to the
present draft"
Il will be recollected that Gov. Brough
sent into the field large number OF men
for one hundred days. These men, added
to the number illegally drafted, anneces
sarily taken from the State at this time
will materially increase the burdens o
the people of the State, and we may hear
tily rejoice that we did not contribute II
any way to the election Of this tool o
the administration to the position he nov
occupies to the detrimont of the people.

special says of the rebel attack on Sunday
night; The rebels made the assault just
after dark this evening in front OF Smiths
brigade, Second corps. The whole lower
strata of atmosphere was dense with mist.
Under cover of this fog the enemy ad-
vanced within pistol range Of our works
before they were discovered by the ad-
vanced pickets No sooner did the out
post give the alarm than one sheet of fire
belched forth froH our ranks in front and
on both hanks of the enemy In about
half an hour he fell back, leaving the
ground covered with dead and wounded.
Our loss was small.
Brigadier Gen. Barnard to-day took bis
position as chief engineer oil the army
The Herald correspondent of the 18th
corps says our line now runs nearly par
allel to the Chickahoininy in its new di-
rection, but is exceedingly irregular
throughout its entire length. The right
is formed by Burnside's corps, the right
center by Wright's corps. and the left by
Hancock
Another correspondent says large
number of reinforcements arrived on the
evening of the 9th. The reinforcements
outnumber our losses, and more are com-
ing. The morning papers are barren oi
news.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 2,
To the Editors of the Enquirer

WAsHINGroN, June 2,
To the Editors of the Enquirer:
Sems of the particulars Of the battle be-
tween the two armies are being made pub
lie. The Confederates allowed our forces
to cross the North Anna and carry the
first line of Notifications with little resls-
tance. Grant then. attacked the second
line and carriedit, Gas they intended he
should in the same way. The rebels
then let our troops approach within range
Of the third and main fortifcation. when
tley opened upon us threw our troops
INTO confusion. and raked them by cross
fires with artillery from both wings. The
Slaughter was terrible. Our loss is estl-
mated at not less than ten thousand
Three broken brigades were captured with
park of artillery by the enemy.
Grant then retfeated over the North
Anna, and, to avoid pursuit, aext morn
ing stayted south east and ior tbs Penin-
sula. This has been sly led General Grant 5
successful strategy and flank movement.
j, eco of the wounded OF this battle have
arrived here, and they are more mangled
and fatally wounded than any troops that
have arrived The majority OF them are
wounded in the legs requiring amputatien.
The wounded described the battle as ter
rible. aoto.
We shall have nothing but successes
and victories, admirable flank and STRAIT
egic movements, from now and until after
the Baltimore Cenventien, Nothing else
will be permitted to go over the wires.
Let what will take place we will hear only
of victory. strategy, and the expected
speedy fall of Richmond.
The truth is, Notwithstanding all that
is said, and the victories that are boasted
of, General Grant is more concerned For
the safety of his army to-day, than for
the capture of Richmond. He is getting,
however, reinforcements daily, and in a
week or so his army will number not far
frem two hundred thousand meH, when
he will, with his known tenaeity and
perseverance, set himself down before
Richmond with the determination TO take
il os perish in the attempt. His heavy
siege guns are now on the way to the
White House, and by the time this letter
reaches you they will have reached their
destination.

sES- The first four years Of Abolition
rule have been four years of rebellion,
blood, death, destruction and desoiatlon
IF Lincoln and his sectional, fanatical,
disunion party, are kept in power four
years longer, there surely will be eight
years of rebellion; and the peoples lib
critics will be crushed beneath the iron
heels of Abolition despotism. The only
hope of saving :he country from utter
