From, the Army before Richmond.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z.
letter from the army Of the Potomac,
dated Friday evening, says no change In the
position of the two armies has occurred since
the late battles. There has been the usual
picket firing on the center line.
Heavy firing was heard Friday afternoon In
the direction OF the 10th corps, and report
was circulated to the effect that the enemy
attempted to blow up the forts in that vicini-
ty, but were unsuccessful.
The rebel battery on the north side of the
James River has been very annoying for day
or two. Quite an engagement took place this
morning between 1t ana our gunboats, and it
was finally forced to timber up and leave.
The weather continues very warm, and con-
siderable sickness prevails among the soldiers,
who suffer principally from diarrhea.
st. George Court House was wontonly Set
fire to and destroyed, on Friday morning, by
some soldiers.
A letter from the Army of the Potomac,
dated Saturday, says the rebels blew up a
mine last evening before dark, in front of the
9TH corps, but as they had not dug to within
forty yards of our works no damage was done.
They also attempted to make charge, cheer
ing loudly, but must have felt chagrined at
finding themselves so far from our lines. Con-
siderable firing was kept up for an hour. The
enemy's loss was heavy, but ours was very
light. All quiet this morning.
NEW YORK, Aug. I.
According to the Petersburg papers the
rebels brought into action only two brigades
in repulsing our forces before Petersburg.
One brigade repulsed charge by our troops
and the other followed up the repulse with a
charge and drove, what of our men could get
away, back over the breastwork, and made
prisoners of all left behind, about 100 besides
the killed and wounded.

BALTIMORE, A
New YORK, Aug Z.


NEW YORK, Aug. I.
The steamship Matanzas, from New Orleans
Slst ult., has arrived.
The steamer Merrimac arrived at New Or
leans on the 3lst, and the Evening Star. Gre
ole and Mississippi were passed in the Missis-
sippi river, bound up.
The Matanzas brought many exchanged
prisoners, among whom are the following -
Col. j. j. Burrill, Lieut.. Col. A. j. Duyanne,
Capts. Sanford, Hopkins, Peck, Geo. 5. Hell
vim. Proctor, Symes, Lieuts. Lawrie, Buckley,
jenkins, Stevenson, James Sampsod, n. w
Morse, Ii. HANDLE, ID. F. Eddy, b. p. Stowell,
J. II. Newcomb, S. +. White, j. w. Greenleaf,
J. Basset, J. Wilson.
Very little business is doing at present.
The news of Sherman's progress and the con-
sequent decline OF gold in New York has I'M
settled the markets, and quotations are nomi-
nal and without material change.
Gen. Canby's order for the enrolment of
the militia creates intense excitement in Sc
cession circles, but there wrs no escape for
them.
Since the firing above Vicksburg upon the
Clara Belle. by which three men were killed
and nine wounded, everything has been quiet
on the river as far as heard from.
Several schooners and luggers are reported
to be cruising In Lake Pontichartrain, eaptur
ing and burning fishing sloops.
The captain of the tugboat Sentinel reports
that he was chased TO the South West Pass
by suspicious looking steamer, bark rugged
and painted black. The rebels assert that she
was the Electric Spark. She has since run
into Mobile bay.
The attack on. the defeuses OF Mobile is
daily expected, and has probably already CON-
menced.
There is no movement in this department
sufficiently advanced TO bear mention.
