Our forces drew out from j within fifty yards of the enemy’s entrench- ments at Coal Harbor, made a flank movement | of an average of about fifty-five miles march, | crorsing the Chickshominy and James rivers, | the latter two thousand teet wide and eighty. | four feet deep at point of crossing. and sur- | prised the enemy’s rear at iF waded This ‘was done without the loss of ‘agon or piece | of artillery, and only about one hundred and | fifty stragglers picked up by the enemy. In covering this move, Warren’s corps and Wil- | son’s cavalry had frequent skirmishing with | the enemy, each losing from fifty to sixty | killed and wounded, but inflicting an equal, if not greater, loss on the enemy. The 18th corps (Smith’s) were transferred from White House to Bermuda Hundred by | Water; moved out near to Petersburg the night | of their arrival, and surprised, or rather, cap- tured the yery strong works northeast of Pe- | tersburg, before sufficient force could be got in them by the enemy to hold them. He was joined the night following this capture by the 2d corps, which in turn captured more of the enemy's redoubts further south, and this corps ‘was showed by the 9th, with the result above | stated. All the troops are now up except two divis- ions covering the wagon trains, and they will be up to-night. The enemy, in their endeavor to rein‘orce Petersburg, abandoned their en- trenchments in front of Bermuda Hundred. They no doubt expected troops from north of the James river to take their place before we discovered it. Butler took advantage of this, and moved a force at once upon the railroad and plank road between Richmond and Pe- tersburg, which 1 hope to retain possession of. | Too much credit cannot be given the troops and their commanders for the energy and for- | titude displayed the last five days. Day and nicht has been all the same, no delays being allowed on any account. Later unofficial dispatches show that at eight o’clovk this morning the enemy still occupied | Petersburg. orton was killed in an assault yes- Nothing to-day from Sherman or Hunter. i Epwin M.

He reports a victory over the enemy at Trevillian Station, on the Virginia | Central Railroad, few miles south of Gor- | donsville, where General Lee, a few days ago, | reported a@ rebel victory. The official report is | as follows: “I have the honor to report to you the arrival of my cemmand at this point, and also te report its operations since leaving New Castle Ferry. I crossed the Pamunkey river on the 7th inst., marching via Ayleit’s, and etcamped on Her- ring creek, on the morning of the sth; resumed the march via Polecat Station, and encamped three miles west of the station. On the 9th, marched through Childsburg and New Market, encamping on the E. N. E. creek, near Young’s Bridge, On the 10th, marched via Andrew's Ferry and Foreman’s Store, crossing both branches of the North Anna, and encam; at Bvehild’s, about three miles northeast of Tre. villian Station, “My intention was to break the railroad at this station, march through Mechanicsyiile, cut the Gordonsville and Charlottesville rail- road near Lindsay’s House, and then to march cm Charlottesville; but on arrival at Buchild’s Honre I found the enemy’s cavalry in my im- mediate froxt. “On the morning of the llth, Gen. Torbet, with his division and Col. Gregg’s brigade of Gen. Gregg's division, attacked the enemy, and, after an obstinate contest, drove him trom successive lines of breastworks, through an almost »mpassable forest, back on Trevillian Station. “In the meantime, Gen. Custar was ordered, with his brigade, to proceed by acountry road, 50 as to reach the station in the rear of the en- emy’s cavalry. On his arrival at this pointthe enemy broke into a complete ronat, leaving his dead and nearly all of his woufded in our hands; also, twenty officers and five hundred men, and three hundred horses. These operas tions occupied the whole of the day. “At night I encamped at Trevillian Station, and on the morning of the 12th commenced de- stroying the railroad from this point to Louisa Court House. This was thoroughly done, ties burned and rails rendered unserviceable. The destruction of the railroad occupied until 3 o'clock of thisday. I directed General Tor- bet to advance with his division, and General Davis’ brigade, of Genera) ‘ireze’s division, in the direction of Gordonsville, and attack | the enemy, who had concentrated and been | reindorced by infantry during the night, and had also constructed rifle-pits at a point five miles trom Gordonsyille. The advance was made, but as the enemy’s position was found toe sone to assault, no general attack was made. « On the extreme right of our lines a portion ofthe Reserve Brigade carried the enemy’s works twice and was twice driven therefrom by infantry; night closed the contest. I found, on examination of the command, that there was notasufficiency of ammunition left to con- tinue the engagement the next day. Trains of ears also came down to where we were en- gaged with the enemy. The reports of pris- , Obers And citizens were that Pickett’s old di- vision, or a portion of it, was coming to pre- vent the taking of Gordonsville. I, therefore, dozing the night and next morning, withdrew ™my command over the North Anna yia Car- penter’s Ford, near Minor’s bridge. “In addition, the animals for the two entire days in which we were en, were without forage, the surrounding country affording noth- ing but grazing of a very inferior quality, and semresy atsuch pointsas were inaccessible “ The cavalry engagement of the 12th was by far the most brilliant one of the present cam- paign. The enemy’s loss was yery heavy. They loet the following named Officers in killed aco Meal “Col. cAlister, commanding regiment. ki led; frig. Gen. Rosser, commanding enae’ wounded: Col. Axin, commanding regiment, wounded; Col, Custar, commanding regiment, wounded.

Burn- | Side was more successful than at first report- ed. He drove them from two lines of rifle-pits with heavy loss, taking four guns and 4100 pris- oners, and holding the position. During the afternoon he again pushed the enemy still fur- ther, getting within about a mile and half of the city, and taking some more priseners. Shells ‘were thrown into the town, one of which struck a church. A prisoner taken yesterday that 35,000 of Lee’s men ‘were to have arrived on the fleld that morn- ing, and trains were seen running, almost hourly, from Richmond, bringing troops close to Petersburg, landing them, and hurrying back. Many of the men brought in are from Tennessee, this being thefr first fight in this direction. They acknowledge having been completely surprised yesterday morning, and say that the Army of the Potomac fights differ- ently from the armies of the West, but say we cannot take Petersburg or Richmond. They had not been aceustomed to throwing up breast- works at every change of the line, and were busy at this work when ordered to surrender. Our snecess here was most complete, and without very heavy loss. The fighting on the remainder of the line during the day was of a rather desultory char- acter, and very little change took place in the positions of either party. Late in the evening our lett was still further advanced, and fight- ing eontinued nearly all night. Colonel Mix, of New York, is reported killed; also, Colonel Kelly, commanding 2d brigade of the Ist divi- sion, 2d corps; Lieutenant Colonel Baird, 126th New York; Captain S O'Neill, 69th New York; Adjutant McDonald, 63d New York; and Adja- tant Heist, 99th Pennsylvania, all killed: Liew- tenant Colonel McGee, 69th New York, wounded in face; Colonel Beever, commanding 4th bri- gade, Ist division, 2d corps, wounded in the hip, and Colonel Crandall, 125th New York, in the face; Colonel Ramsey, commanding 4th brigade, 2d division, hand fractured; Major Butler, 69th New York State militia, thigh fractured; Major Blake, 8th New York artil- lery, im the head: This morning considerable firing is going on, but nothing definite has been heard in regard to it. The 5th eorps came up last night and rein- forced our left. Reports were current yesterday that General Butler had advanced to the Richmond and Petersburg railroad, and was engaged in de- stroying the track, when Lee surprised him | and drove him back to his intrenchments with | heavy loss, Nothing official has been received in relation to the matter at headquarters. Troops were sent to his support yesterday afternoon. Firing, at intervals, has been heard in that direction. Anether Account. sjcorrespondence of the Associated Press.] EADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAO, June i6, 6 p. m.—Smith’s command, which landed at the Point of Rocks on Tuesday eve- ning, advanced early yesterday morning on the City Point and Petersburg road, and found the enemy near Harrison’s Ureek, and drove oat ne their fortifications, some half a mile on The line of battle being formed, Hinck’s col- ored division on the left, a charge was made, and the entire line of works taken, with sixteen guns and three hundred prisoners, and several battle-flags. The position was one of great strength, and Poth have resisted an attack from a heavier force. The colored troops are reported as havin; ehaved admirably, taking their part of ne line at the same time the others did. Our loss in the entire affair was not over 200), of whom some 40 were colored. The 2d corps came up in the evening and took position on the left of Smith. In the eee | an advance was made by the 2d corps, Gen. Birney in command, and the enemy were driven from another strong posi- Uon, with considerable loss in killed, wounded and prisoners. In the afternoon, Burnside came up and took the left of Hancock, and at 6 p.m. an advance ‘was made along the line, and a desperate stru, gle ensued on the left and centre, both with ar- tillery and infantry, which lasted till long after dark.

CRIMINAL CovrT.—The June term of the Criminal Court of this District commenced this morning, Chief Justice Cartter on the bench. Judge Fisher was expected to cpen the court, but owing to indisposition he was not able to do so, but is expected to assume his place upon the bench in a few days. The tollowing grand jurors answered to their names, and were sworn in, viz: Z. M. P. King, foreman; W. McClane, H. C. Wilson, A. J. Riley. A. J. Beall, Jonn Connor, ©, C. Martia, J.B. Davis, Henry Barron, W. Warder, Ira Croson, John Wilson, Lewis Themas, M. R. Coombs, Taylor Hunt, O. E. P. Hazard, W. Linkins, W. C. Harper, B. T.Swardt, and Jas. Fenwick. Judge Cartter then delivered a brief charge to the jury, stating that the shorthess of the notiee to him of Judge Fisher’s sickness had precluded the possibility ef a very lengthy charge. If the jury, however, would carefully study the oath just administered to them, they would there have all their duties defined in a condensed form. The Grand Jury were the conser yators and guardians of the moral health of the country, and it was their duty to inquire | earefnily into all crimes or, misdemeanors, and to fearlessly make present against all such as were guilty of violations of the law. Many crimes would come before them, and they would have todeal with criminals from almost every State in the Union, on account of the worthless characters in the army around here having here been thrown off. But there were two pabices to which the Judge would spe- cially call the attention of the jury, and these Were prostitution and gambling. The jury, hesaid, owed itto themselves, their ' wives and daughters and sons to use all their power to put down this crying evil of prosti- tution. Public women, devoid of all charac- ter, stalked abroad through our public places, thus driving honest and good women away; and every effort should be made to pat down this vice. The nymphs of prostitution, with painted effrontery, occupied the public haunts of business, and insulted honest women. This should not beso. Whether the jury could al- together extinguish the yice or not was to be tried; but they could at least drive it into re- tirement. ¥ Judge Cartter concluded by saying that this was about the most glaring crime that stalked abroad inthis city. Other grand juries had done much in this matter, but there was much yet remaining to be done, and with untiring exertions success would eventually crown the efforts at the suppression of this vice. 4 The jury then retired to their room to attend to such business as“should be presented to them. The following pettit jurors were called and answered, to their names:—Pierce Shoemaker, Jobu E. Phony. F.M. Jarboe, H. G. Divine, J. B. Bird, W..G. Yost, .G. Powell, James Larcum, H. B. MeElfresh, Jacob Frey, James T. Boisseau, A. O’Leary, John Leighter, E G. Brown, P. Hauptman, G. W. Bargess. Richard rte, E.H. King, B. H. Duvall, J.B. Wilson, Isaac Beers, G@. H. Gaddis, W. T. Dixon were éxcused. R. Barnhouse, W. Evans, J, T. Griffin were absent. In consequence ef the indisposition of Judge Fisher the pettit jury were discharged until Monday next. —_—s THE ARSENAL DISASTRE.—There seems to be no donbt, that the fs rable digaste: at the Washington Arsenal on Hoey was dv.

Mr..1. G. Dudley called the meeting to order, and Mr. Wm. Toppin acted as Secretary. After the meeting had been called to order, Mr. F. Whyte offered a series of resolutions, (which were adopted,) appointing a commit- tee, to be known as the Monument Committee, who are authorized to solicit contributions from our citizens for the purpose ot erec:ing a mopument in the Congressional Cemetery to the memory of the victims of the recent dis- tressing calamity. The Chair announced the following named gentlemen to compose the committee, each de- partment being represented by one member :— Olerke—F. Whyte; Machinists—Jno. W. Stahl; Biacksmiths—J.R. King; Tinners—J. A. Brich; Carpenters and Carriage-Makers—Geo, Z. Uol- liscn; Armorers—John Stahl; Painters—James Barry; Saddlers—W. H. Toppin; Laborers—L. Campbell; Laboratory—Andrew Cox. The name of J.G. Dudley was added to the committee, and Major Stebbins declared treas- urer. A circular to be presented to the community was offered by Mr. Whyte, and adopted. A DirFiccuLTy aT THE FUNERAL.—Yester- day afternoon, as the faneral of the unfortu- nate victims of the Arsenal explosion was in rogress at Congressional ‘Cemetery, Officers arbin and Shelton, who had just cleared a space around the graves in which the mourn- ers and pall-bearers could stand, found that a young man, named Henry Greenfield, had placed himself right in the road, and the first- named requested him to leave. This Green- fleld refused to do, and replied with an oath, and the officer arrested him. Greenfield re- sisted him, and Officer Shelton went to Har- bin’s assistance, when some of the prisoner's friends attempted to rescue him, and he also made an attempt to escape, when the officers drew their revolvers and intimidated the party, and succeeded in carrying the prisoner to tha station, where Justice Cull fined him $21.53 for being disorderly in the graveyard, and held him to security for appearance at court to answer the charge of resisting the officer. ge DIsTRICT OF COLUMBIA VOLUNTRERS.—The army correspondent of the New York Herald says: ‘*A correspondent here has given the eredit of the capture of a piece of artillery, during the recent raid of our cavalry to Peters- burg, to the 5th Pennsylvania cavalry, when, in fact, the credit belongs to the Ist District of Columbia volunteer cavalry, and the piece in question in now_in their camp, with the per- mission ot Gen. Butler to take it to Washing- ton upon their return I make this correction thata regiment which has always done its duty may have the credit which is due it.” gracias ora shows Frre.—The alarm of fire this morning was occasioned by the burning of Mr. H. U. Wil- son’s distillery for making roofing pitch, situ- ated at the foot of 22d street west. A loss of about $1,000 was sustained. No insurance. eg Drownzgp.— Yesterday, acolored man named Crocker, was drowned at Sixth street Wharf, while fishing with trout lines. The body was recovered and an inquest will be held to-day. , ———_s——_ STaTsB OF THE THERMOMETER.—At Frank- lin & Co.’s, opticians, No. 244 Pennsylvania avenue, the thermometer stood to-day at 1 o’clock, 79 in the shade; 90 in the sun.
