Augusta Threatened.

Information has been received which reh-
ders it advisable to place the defensive
force of Augusta, Hamburg and the vicini-
ty in condition for effective service, at short
notice. Col. Rains, Commandant Of the
Post, has accordingly Issued specific orders
to all detailed men of every description,
and to all citizens capable of bearing arms,
to report at once for aGaigpmaut. IDstFue-
tions are, given to officers, various reudez-
vous indicated, commissaries, quartermast.
ers and surgeons are all duly notified of
their respective duties. The Mayor of Au-
gusta bas issued a proclamation to the peo.
pie of Richmond and the surrounding Coun-
ties, and the neigbboring Districts of South
Carolina, in which he says that from infor-
nation received from Major General Jones,
commanding at Charleston and Savannah,
there can be no doubt that the enemy are
now actively preparing for raid upon the,
city, and that similar information has been
conveyed to him from such other sources as
cannot be questioned. -,
We have not heard, but we suspect that
this party is 10 come up from Port Royal.
We trust that the effect of this threatened
attack upon onr sister city, will arouse such
spirit there and throughout the. entire
scope of country liable to be preyed upon
by these troopers, as will be irresistible and
crushing when they do come. r,, ..

RICHMOND, June 10.-Tbe enemy s, 900
strong, under Kautz, made desperate at.
tempt to capture Petersburg yesterday
They advanced in two columns, and after
several assaults upon our works, which were
repalsed, they succeeded in aanking about
200 militia, causing them to retreat with o
loss of six killed and thirty wounded, in.
cluding some of the best citizens. The
militia fought like veterans. The Yankees
then advanced to the suburbs, but at the
opportdne moment Graham's battery opened
upon them from Reservoir Hill, driving
them, when the cavalry simultaneously
charged them, and the enemy fed in great
confusion.
Z The other, column that was advancing on
the Blandford Road, was repd1sed by Stur-
tevant's battery, which arrived in time
Our reinforcemeuts pursued the Yankees
several miles. The residence Of Timothy
RiYes was sacked and burnt, and RiYes
carried of. Rev. VIM. Hall, Chaplain Of
the. Washington Artillery, was also captured.
RICHMOND, June 11.--Accounts from
the front represent Grant forming parallels.
Some skirmishing yesterday aud today, but
it has amounted to nothing. The lines Of
the two armies in some places are not two
hundred yards apart.

Good Work in the. Valley.

We1earn from the Charlottesville c CAron-
icle that Maj. Harry Gilmore has been play
ing havoc of late with the Yankee trains in
the rear of Hunters army, which now
threatens Staunton. On Sunday night,
10Th May, be attacked the rear Of portion
of Eunter's army in Newton, seven miles
from Winchester, and completely routed
the whole force, which consisted of about
100 cavalry. Thirty FIVE of this number,
including commissioned and commits
stoned officers, were captured.
Eighteen wagons, heavily loaded with
coffee, sugar, army supplies, &C., were also
captured and burnt. Sixty eight fine hor.
ses, neatly harnessed, were safely brought
away. From what we can learn, at least
two millions of dollars worth Of property
was destroyed by Gilmore's daring little
band of guerillas.~ Our loss was triaing,
only two slightly wounded that Of the enc
my was severe, considering the numbers.
We feel safe in asserting that ere this
Mosby and Gilmore have formed a Junction
Itn reasonable to expect that more than.
this will be accomplished.
