or before the 1st Of august, will raise (thc
dailies) their prices to ! five cent standard.
The advance would have taken place ere now
but for the disinclination Of one establish

the right flank and front. Petersburg lies to
our front, defended By the line Of rebel works
lntrtnchments that surmount the White
House hill. The drst is defended by abatis
or eheeuur de.rfise, with the exception of the
line along Turner's front, which the rebels
have not been able to fortify In this manner,
owing to Its vicinity to our line, and the con

probable, however, that mutual agreement
not to fire Inns been b. some means made be-

THE BATTERIES
do not seem to have been inclndcd In this
Arrangement, and Pa1rott and mortar at
times break the silence by both salvos and

and is caused By the rebels opening some
