GENERAL GRANT.
The Army of the Potomac
The Rebels Attack one Division OF the
9th Corps and are Repulsed-The
Works Captured Oh Saturday still
held Ly the I'd and Sih Corps.
Press Dispatch.l


New YORK, March 30-The Herald's
correspondent says another engagement
took place in the Army of the Potomac
OH Monday morning. which, though con
fined to a small portion Of the line and
of short duration, was of quite severe
character, at least for the rebels. A part
of them who pretended that they wished
TO desert were allowed to approach the
national lines, when they made a fierce
attack in the front OF one division of the
9th corps, just before day break, for the
purpose of recovering their advanced
works from which they were driven on
Saturday The assault was so sudden
and furious that the 9th corps troops
were at first forced back, but they in
stantly rallied, ropulsed the enemy at all
points, and recovered and maintained
their captured ground. The rebel loss
during the short fight WAS heavy, while
that of the 9th corps was very slight.
The entire first line OF rebel works
captured by the I'd and 9th corps OH last
Saturday, is still held by them and has
been rendered so strong that amy eloii
OF the enemy for its recovery must prove
futile

From General Lee.

The Richmond Lngano, of the 18th

Petersburg, March 20th, winch says
Generals Bushrod, Johnston and Gordon
stormed the enemy'S brcastworks Oh our
left this morning, and drove the enemy
one mile, capturing his works and 800
men, including General Mclaughlin and
other officers. General Terry was badly
wounded. The enemy massed his artil-
lery heavily in the meighborhood Of the
captured fort, and was enabled to pour
such terrible eniilading fire upon our
ranks, as to canse oar troops 10 fail back
to their original position The Yankee
Major General Warren is supposed 10 be
killed.
Following is General Lees report
dated March 25th AT daylight this
morning General Gordon assaulted and
carried the enemy's works at llart's Hill,
| capturing pieces Of artillery, mortars
| and between 800 and coo prisoners. in
| Guiding one Brigadier General and a
| number of officers of lower grades The
lines were swept for 4 distance Of four or
five hundred yards to the right ahd left,
and two efforts were made 10 recover the
work, which were handsomely repulsed;
but it was found that the enclosed work
in the rear, commanding the enemy's
main line, could only be taken at ter
rible sacrifice of life. and the troops
were withdrawn to their original posi-
ton. 1t being impractcable To take off
the captured guns owing to the nature
Of the ground, they were disabled and
left. Our losses, rs reported, are not
heavy. Among the wounded is Briga-
dier General Terry, a Hesh wound, and
igadier-General Philip ST. George Cook
in the arm.
"All the troops engaged, including two
brigades under General Ransom, behaved

the picket lines, with varied success
At dark, the enemy held a considerable
portion of the line tarthest in advance

They accordingly returned to Franklin
and consulted some of the best oil men,
to ascertain the value of such 'supposa-

it would hc worth 100000 at the least
This settled the question, and the buyers
hurried back to the well owners, closed
the bargain. planked the cash, and pre-
pared to make their fortunes without

the old employees of the company had

CoTToN-The fall in cotton aud cot
ton goods is a subject OF great deal OF
interest. Cotton has gone down from
two dollars to fifty-six cents per pound
in New York. This is equivalent to
about thirty four cents in specie. Prints
are now sold ar twenty to twenty-five
cents per yard, and superior shirtings at
twenty At these rates it is said they
cannot be manufactured at profit, but
the increased consumption from reduc-
tion of price and the small stocks on
hand, it is expected will give an upward
tendency again.
