Gen. Meade has published the following Or

correspondents who by courtesy are allowed
to hang about the headquarters of the army,
that they can be engaged in better business
than in Selling upon every idle rumor and
hurrying it into print, without first inquiring
into its truthfulness or considering what will
be its effect:

poned We made this statement from what ap-
peared in the New York papers of Monday. Af

of the convention being held on the 4'h CT July,
i will not assemble until the 9th day of August.
This change in the time was favored by large
number of leading Democrats IN different sec

that time the policy of the Administration would
be fully developed, and the condition OF public
affairs better understood Under such circum-

rhe Battle of petersburg.

The week past has been a bloody and exciting
one to the army of Gen Grant. 1t has marched
fifty miles. crossed the broad James, and fought
four days in the seven. But all this endurance
and incompatible valor has not been crowned
with any substantial fruits of victory. One corps
on Monday, by moving with CELEBRITY, captured
the first line of works, on the northeast of Peters
burg. which then defended by small force,
chiefly militia; and on the following day some
success of trihing Importance accomplished.
This was only the prelude to fearful struggle
