we are indebted to the courteous officers of tho
Exchange Bureau for files Of Northern papers Of tho
zo,h instant We gave summary Of the news of
mat date yesterday, and to-day add few items NJ
interest:
THE MOVEMENTS OF GRANTS ARMY
letter from the Army of the Potomac, dated
last Wednesday, says:
The second corps, having been unsuccessful in the
attack on the enemy the north side of the Jamas
river on sunday, fell back to safe position. which
they occupied until yesterday when another assa,it
was determined on and carried suecaSsr,liv ,h
enemy having been driven from their works with
hcayy loss IN killed and wounded and several hun
dred prisoners whoaell into olg hands
The Second corps also captured few heavy guns
Which the enemy had not time to carry off besides
quantity of small arms. Our loss was quite severe
oar u, troops stlli hold the position they gained.
Inc cavalry under General Gregg had an engage
ment with the rebels, and drove them from some
works near the New Market road, but they rallied
itohi the cerent points the vicinity and finally
iorced the cavalry back upon the infantry supports
colonel Gregg, commanding the Second brigade,
Second division cavalry corps severely wounded
III the engagement.
The Washington Republican has the following
about the movements prior to the seizure of the
weldon road
By this strategic movement across the James
rvcr, General Grant compelled Lee to extend his
lines to that degree that there must be some weak
pol,its.in 1t, Which Grant will probably find.
The line held by our forces is already entrenched
SO strongly that they cannot he driven from them
by the rebels There is good deal of marching and
countenrehing of divisions, and it is evident that
some important movement is on foot near the Capt.
tai of Dixie.
Early yesterday morning the rebels in front of the
Ninth coirs made desperate assault our works
probably under the impression that the movement
up James river had obliged Grant to materially
weaken his lines i'll front of Petersburg The posi-
tons OF the other corps also assaulted and for
several hours fierce battle ragged the cannonadng
beng terrific nserspersed with musketry either
side.
The enemy did not catch US mapping, and they
finayrepulsed, leaving their dead and wounded
on the field, between the two lines The rebels are
represented as having lost heavily.

given that sales of the above Bonds at the present
Treasury price of SlSj and accrued interest will be
discontinued after the SOth day of September next,
or when the sales shall have reached seventy mil
lions of dollars, if much shall be sold before the
said 30th day of September
The sales will be suspended to consider the expe-

upon the Bonds
The Secretary of the Treasury deems it his duty to
call the special attention of Taxpayers generally
and particularly the agricultural Glass; to this no.
tice.
This loan should be all taken up by our own peo-
pie
The payment of interest to foreign countries will
be onerous and oppressive on the return of peace

Ard now that all agricultural products are COM
manding such high prices, by investing in the
Bonds OF the Government taxpayers will become
themselves the receivers of the taxes collected for
the payment of interest.

CONFEDERATE STATES DrsrRicr Coun1.-- In Judee
Halyburton's Court yesterday the following busi-
ness was disposed Of:
George Arents was discharged from military ser
contractor before the passage Of the cosczipt act
The Judge rendered his decision without hearing
any argument in the case.
The balance Of the time Of the court was occupied
in hearing the argument Of counsel in the habeas
corpus case of John III. Leftwich, who claims ex-
emption from military service the grouild Of be-
ing mail contractor. This case differs from the
above, insomuch that Mr. Leftwitch did not receive
his contract till two months subsequent TO the pas
sage of the act requiring all persons between tho
ages of eighteen and forfyve to enter the service.
MT Humphrey Marshall acts Is counsel for the pc
Neeson represent the Government Colonel August
