SF RBADING MATTER ON BVERY PAGE | SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELB- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. EXTRA. IMPORTANT FROM THE FRONT. More Fighting in Front of Petersburg on day—Grant Censtantly Gaining the Enemy—He Captures a Piece of Artillery on Saturday—The Ad- vantages Gained Over the Enemy on that BExMvuDA HUNDRED, June 19(via Baltimore, June 21.)—There was fighting in front of Petersburg yesterday, up totwo o’clock, with- out any decisive results, butour troops have een constantly gaining ground upon the ene- my. Another piece of artillery captured from the enemy was brought into Gen. Grant’s headquarters yesterday. It is understood that the advantage gained on the enemy yesterday will be vigorously fol- owed up to-day. Decisive results are expected soon. General Gillmore and staff left tor Old Poin; on the steamer Wyoming last night. The General bas been relieved of his command. Everything is moving very satisfactorily ‘with the army. Beruvupa HuNpDRED, June 20.—Sunday, the 19th, was comparatively quiet with the army about Petersburg, the operations of the day being confined to reconnoisances, slight skir- mishes, and some sharp shooting along the line, ‘which now extends some distance beyond Petersburg, up the Appomattox river. Gen. Grant and Gen. Butler went up the James river yesterday and had an interview with Admiral Lee. MOSEBY ON A NORTHERN RAID. He Crosses the Potomac—Rebels Reperted am Large Ferce—They Occupy the Town of Winchester. {Dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer.) WacgEgstown, Md., Monday Morning, June 20.—During last night a rebel cavalry ferce of some two thousand forded the Potomac (which is now very low) some two or three miles below Falling Waters. The scout who trailed them through Thoroughfare Cape Says the remainder, a large force, are near Winchester, which place has been in rebel hands two or three days. No damage has yet been done to the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad, or to the telegraph; but the scout says they have the telegraph tapped bet ween here and Martinsburg, and so Gen. Sigel does not use it. They will destroy the railroad as soon as the remainder of the command is safely this side. For prudential reasons, the enemy is keeping as quiet as pos- sible at present. The force is headed by Mose- by, who seems to be aiming only to secure a fresh supply of Uavairy horses. The news of the invasion just begins to be whispered in this place. Some persons, who became acquainted with Moseby while he acted as provost mar- shal here during the Gettysburg battle, seem quite willing to welcome him again. Among others the greatest consternation prevails. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. {By the People’s Line—Office 511 Ninth street.] Ew York, June 20.—U. S. 1881, coupon 6’s, 112; U.

To Major General Diz, New York : No operations to-day on the James river have been reported to the Department. Un Official statements represent our loss to have been severe in the assaults on the enemy's works on Saturday, but no official list of the casualties has been received. General Sherman, in a despatch dated this evening at 7.30 p. m., says: “I was premature in saying that the enemy had abandcned his Position. I based my report on that of all the army commanders. The enemy has thrown back his flank, and abandoned all his works in front of the Kenosaw Mountain, but holds that mountain as the apex of his position. His flanks are behind Noonday and Moses Ureeks. We have pressed him pretty close to-day, al- though the continued rain makes all meve- ments almost an impossibility.” General Foster, commanding the Department -of the South, at Hilton Head, forwards the fol- lowing dispatch, dated the i6th of June, at Hilton Head, S. C.: «I have the honor to report that I have to- day received from Major General Samuel Jones, commanding the rebel forces in this rf rtment, a letter stating that five general cers of the United States, as prisoners of war, had been placed in Charleston, to be re- tained there under ourfire. Against this wicked and cruel act I have protested. “In the meantime the fire on the city is con- tinued. I respectfully ask that an equal nom- ber of rebel officers of equal rank may be sent to me in order that I may place them under the enemy’s fire as long as our officers are exposed im Charleston.” This Department has issued a retaliatory order transferring to General Foster an equal number of rebel general officers, ‘to be treated in the manner proposed, as long as our officers are exposed in Charleston. Epwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. POINT—FIRST ARRIVAL OF DED FROM THAT PLACE. Three hundred and seventy-two wounded, including sixty-one omcers, arrived here yes- terday evening from City Point on board of the hospital steamer George Leary, which left that place at 6 o’clock on Sunday. Considerable cannonading was heard at City Point during Saturday and Sunday from the direction of Petersburg. Our forces at that time were notin possession of the town, but were within easy shelling range. The rebels occupy a high eminence near the town, and it woald be a useless sacrifice of life to attempt tohold the place, as the rebels, unless dislodged, would be able to throw shells in the midst of any force occupying the tow The position we hold is, however, a very em- barrassing one to the rebels, as they admit. Hoepital tents have been erected at City Point for the accommodation of our wounded, but they are coming in in such numbers that itis almost impossible to provide them all with shelter. The wounded now being brought in | from the front are more serious cases than any #ince the beginning of Grant's campaign. This | is accounted for from the fact that the rebels are enabled to use their artillery to a better ad- | vantage. The floating hospital New World (the ma- chinery of which has been removed) had ar- rived at City Point in tow of two tugboats. She ‘would take on a load of wounded, but her des- tipation was unknown. On Friday last about 400 rebel prisoners were seot from City Point to Point Lookout. 4ien. Ingalls has been assigned to duty as | Chief Quartermaster, with headquarters at ‘ity Point. The wounded brought up on the George Veary were all wounded in the battles before Petersburg. among whom were the following officers :—Colonel E. G. Carshatl, 14th Ohio, wounded in hip; Col. D. U. Fox, 27th Micn., in right arm; Col. C. E. Hapgood, Sth N. H, in rigbt arm; Lieut. Col. J. N. McEtvoy, 10th Ohio; Lieut. Col. F. B. Doty, 179th N. Y.,in thigh: Major W. J.

Heavy eirigpncese Yesterday im the di- rection of Petersburg—The Rebels fail to Comply with a demand Surrender the town, and it is Shelled—Steamer Winan fired inte by the Rebels en James River. The mail steamer Keyport, which left City Point at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, arrived here at an early hour this morning. She reports heavy cannonading heard there at that hour from the direction south of Pe- tersburg. Parties. who came in from the ffont to City Point state that the rebels having failed to comply with a demaud from Gen. Grant to surrender the town, our forces began to throw shells into the city on Saturday atternoon. On Friday evening, as the steamer Winans was passing Wilcox’s Landing, on the James river, she was fired into by a rebel battery trom the north side of the river, one shot piss- ing entirely through the boat, near the rudder. One of our gunboats stationed in the vicinity returned the fire, but with what effect is not “pr, Epsey’s h . Epsey’s house, near City Point, is occu- pied by Gen. Grantas his headquarters. On Saturday evening Gen. Butler visited Gen. Grant athis headquarters and spent several hours in conversation with him. Six pieces of cannon, which were captured from the rebels in the vicinity of Petersburg, have been brought down to Uity Point. The rebels must have defended these pieces with much deaperaticn, asthey were literally coy- ered with blood. A large force of laborers are busily engaged in building wharves at City Point. Our wounded continue to be brought in from the frontin considerable numbers. The am- bulances bring in the serious cases, whilemany others walk in. The hospital steamer Connecticut, has gone to Annapolis with a load of wounded. The rebeis have adopted a new plan of sur- prising and capturing our out-posts. They ad- vance towards our pickets with arms at a trail, indicating a surrender, but when within ial yards of our men they recover armsand re. One day last week they practiced this gam: and succeeded in wopadiag and capraring about sixty men. They generally select North Carolina troops to play this “dodge,” as it is well known large numbers of North Carolinians have come within our lines from time to time, to give themselves up. On the day following their successful attempt they again tried to play this game, but it would not work, as our troops fired upon them, when they immediately turned and fied. The hospital stermer Wenonah arrived here to-day at 11 o’clock, having on board five hun- dred and five wounded, six of whom were officers. The Wenonah brings no news. The wounded bronght up on this vessel are very slight cases, and the majority of them walked in trom the batt!e-field to City Point. FURTHER FROM GRANT'S ARMY, An Attack on Our Center Repulsed—A North Carolina Regiment Captured— Beauregard and Lee Claim Extravagant Victories. Information from the Army of the Potomac, received this morning, is to the effect that there was quiet all day Sunday, with the exception of firing at intervals along the line. Both armies seemed disposed to rest after their re- cent severe contest. An attack was made on the centre of our line, which was quickly repulsed, and a regi- mentof North Carolina troops (perhaps one hundred and thirty-one) captured. A flag of truce was sent from our lines, but the enemy refused to receive it. A negro was hanged yesterday morning for an attempt to commit a rape. Generals Beauregard and Lee, in despatches to Jeff. Davis, claim extravagant victories over our troops. PRESIDENT LINCOLN. The President and his youngest son left the city yesterday afternoon, on the Ordnance steamer Baltimore, to pay a trip to Grant, it is reported, and see how affairs are progressing on James River. BURNING OF THE WHARF AT AQUIA CRBEK. Ou Saturday last, a large band of guerrillas made their appedrance at Aquia Creek, and set fire to the lower wharf, when the gunboats Cour de Lion, Primrose and Leslie opened fire on them and scattered them. Boats’ crews of the Primrose and Coeur de Lion were sent on shore and endeavored to stop the destruction; but on the Ella passing that place yesterday morning, the wharf was still.burning. GENERAL GILLMORE. This officer, who has peen relieved, and or- dered to report at Washington to await further orders, arrived here last night at 12 o'clock, on board the dispatch steamer Lady Lincola. ° OFFICERS DISMISSED THE SERVICE. The following named officers, having ten- dered their resignations, on frivolous pretexts, and for insufficient cause, whilst their com- mands were in front of the enemy, President Lincoln has directed that they be dishonorably dismissed the service of the United States: First Lieutenant Robert M.
