Important Correspondence.

some important correspondence be
tween Gov. Vance, Of North Carolina,

that tenders Of a peace be made and
declares that unless a resort to such a
measure be had, and unless the people
of his State can be convinced that the
rejection comes from the United States,
he cannot undertake to preserve the
peace
70 this jeff replies, that he has made
three distinct efforts to procure a peace;
and that they were all rejected; but
he did not add that they all demanded
the dissolution of the Union, which
could never be acceded 10.
The revelations relative to the dis

Trouble on JOhnSOn'S Island Attempt
Of the Prisoners TO Escape The At.
femnt discovered and Frustrated.

Tie Cleveland Leader of Thursday,
rays:
A gentleman Just from Johnsons
Island furnishes US with the following
valuable information in regard to a re-
cent attempt TO escape from the Island.
He says that on Sunday last, at half az
ter nine A. ", plot of the prisoners to
escape was discovered, which had near
ly been carried into effect. 1t seems
that a plank in one of the cook-houses
in the middle Of one of the barracks
had been removed, and that a tunnel
had been excayated, with an outlet be-
yond the wall of the prison yard.
In this hole, which was large enough
to admit the passage of one man, were
foundthree ladders, roughly construct
ed, three knives, notched into saws, q
lot of bed ticking from beds, tarred so As
to be water proof, revolver, a dark
lantern made out of an old fruit
can, with a hole and slide in one end,
and three life preseryers made OF tight
" corked canteens, four TO each life
preserver, fastened 10 canvas belt
The preparations for escape seem TO
have been systematically conducted
and nearly completed, although it is not
known as vet exactly what the inten-
tons Of the plotters were, when the at
tempt to escape was to be made, or the
number who were concerned in It
The scheme was discovered through
one of the prisoners, who happened 10
be in the hospital, and who limited that
something of the sort was going on
This led to watchfulness and search,
which resulted in the discoyery-of the
plot We understand that the discoy-
cry caused great excitement The roll
of the prisoners was called, and it was
found that none were missing. The
excitement continued during the day,
and many visited the spot and examin-
ed the hole. Ii was rumored that the
prisoners were so enraged st the one
who had revealed their plot, that there
was an attempt made to hang him
within the barracks, but in vain. Of
course prompt measures were taken to
Illustrate the defign Of the conspira-
tors.

Falling Beck.

When an army continually falls back,
frequently leaving its dead and wound
ed on the field, it may be safely said
that it has been defeated; and, on the
other hand, when an army continually
advances in the face of the enemy, it is
safe to say that it is victorious The
claims, then, of the rebels, TO victories,
in Virginia, and Georgia, are mere alb
surdities. They have been beaten and
compelled to retreat, and they know
it, and all the sophistry used by rebel
Journals, North or South, cannot con-
ceal the real facts.

WASHINGTON, June 7-l0l5 ?. II.
To Goaeral Dir:
Dispatches from the headquarters of
the Army of the Potomac, dated nine
o clock this morning, have been receiv-
ed An assault was made on Burnside
about midnight, and successfully repul-
sed. In the preceding afternoon one
hundred picked men of the enemy
made a rush to find out what the mean
ing of Hancock's advancing seige lines.
Nine Of the party were captured, and
the rest killed or driven back.
Several letters have passed between
General Grant and General Lee in res
pect to collecting the dead and wound
ed between the two armies. Grant, in
the closing letter, regrets that all his
efforts for alleyiating the suferings of
the wounded men left on the battle
field have been rendered nugatory
Two rebel officers and six men, sent out
to search for the wounded Of their com
mands, were captured in consequence
of the enemy not delivering General
Lees letters until after the hour he had
named had expired Grant has mott
fed Lee that they were captured thro
a misunderstanding, and will not be
held as prisoners, but will be returned,
No other military intelligence has
been received z. NJ STANTON.

been one continued scene of bloodshed,
and suffering its industry has been par

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Position OF our Forces.

The army correspondent of to-day 5
Philadelphia Inquirer writes from head
quarters near Salem Church on the
morning of May 5lst:
The line is changed this morning 10
the extent of Warren having moved
about a mile in the direction OF Me
chanicsyille, and Burnside coming in to
fill the gap between him and Hancock
1t must be borne in mind that Rich
mOnd is on our left, and the rebel right
flank, and it will be seen why this
movement of Warren excited consid-
cradle apprehension in the rebel coun-
ellis, which manifested itself in very
heavy skirmishing yesterday afternoon
and late in the evening along Warren ;
front, with lighter demonstrations on
our centre 1t did not, however, inter
fere in the least with the movement of
Warren.
THE position OfSheridan, with two
divisions Of cavalry, GreCg's and Tor
bert 5, TO the left and little in advance
of Warren, by which he threatened to
enter Richmond before them in case of
q battle and reverse on their present
line, was also a source Of much uneasi-
ness to the rebels, and yesterday after
noon they endeayored to rectify ii. 4
brigade Of Ewells infantry, aided by
all their available cavalry and two bat
teries, made a vigorous attack on Sher-
idan's line about three clock, but our
gallant cavalry met them bravely, and
by dark Sheridan had not only repuls-
ed them, but had driven them full two
miles beyond the Old Church road
Our loss in this affair was not over six
ty or seventy, while the rebels lost over
one hundred killed and wounded, and
three hundred taken prisoners
This morning the diminishing is
about as Yesterday; if any different it
is more general along the line, as if the
enemy were endeavoring to ascertain
our exact position. Warren movement,
begun yesterday. has been accomplish
ed and Burnside is in position between
him and Hancock, the Sixth Corps
General Wright, having he right Of
our lines.
"Port Royal has been Abandoned,
and Captain Pitkin, the Depot Quar-
termastef, has already arrived here and
set to work with his accustomed en-
ergy. There is now here or in transit
up the York river, to arrive before day
light tomorrow, fail ten days rations
and forage for the army now operating
on this line The docks have yet to be
built, so that landing stores and troops
is exceedingly tedious; but this will be
remedied by tomorrow.
Brigadier General AbercrOmbie is in
command of this post, but up to this
hour has not arrived from Port ROYAL.
The one hundred day men will gar
rison the vicinity, one regiment, the
one hundred and thirty-second Ohio,
having just arrived on the steamer
John Brooks.
"a portion of Greggs division of cav
airy is this morning posted to cover the
roads from here to the front, and by
night communication will be fully es-
tablished
