A battery close by had been shelling the re- bel lines, and they opened in reply, throwing a number of shelis rather closer than was de- sirable, one of which struck George Polly, ser- geant major 10th Massachusetts, who died ina few minutes, When Johnson was arrested by some caysl- Ty; "hae after his crime, he stoutly denied his mult, and gaye his name as bert Heary ‘ughes, and said that he belonged to the Quar- termaster’s Department. After being sen- tenced, however, he admittea his guilt and gave his true name, and confessed that he en- listed in Baltimore on the 23d of March in the 23d United States infantry, was 23 years ot age and had deserted. He said his panishment was just, and he hoped others would take warning by his fate. JuNE 21, 5 a. m.—Some skirmishing took place yesterday and last evening along the line, but no change ot position has been made by either party during the past two days.

Inquirer.} HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAO, June 21, 7 4. m,—Yesterday was quiet, that is, there was no assaults and no line of battle firing; but our batteries kept exchanging occa- sional compliments with those of theenemy, and slong the picket line the spiteful whiz of the minie was a very familiar sound, enough s0 assure one that two large armies lay in close proximity. The number of casualties in this skirmishing has been rather large. The relative positions ofour own and the re- belarmy appear to be nearly the same as at the several points where they have lain for a time in opposing lines of battle from the Ra- pidan hither. Both occupy similar lines of in- trenchments, within short rifle range of each other, but as it devolves on us to attack, the snemy, derives the greates advantage from his ‘works. One unfamiliar with military operations can hardly form a conception of the value of mere impromptu earthworks; rifie-pits, such as can be constructed ina single night. But troops who have had to charge them can fully appre- ciate their importance as parts ot a defensive system. TEvery attack upon such works, unless it is @ surprise, costs hundreds or thousands of lives, and men ensconced behind them can successfully hold at bay largely superior num- bers. These impromptu works are all that now enable the rebel army to keep us ont of Petersburg. The strong fortifications taken by the advance of our army, on the evening of the 15th, were the regular defenses of the place, and, had they been fully manned, could only have been taken by regular siege ap- proaches, requiring protracted labors. That ‘we gained a posweesis of them so easily was an immense advantage, and is the more satisfac- tory because it is an unequivocal strategic vie- tory over the wily rebel commander, to whom it must be extremely mortifying. He was, for once at least, held in uncertainty as to our movements long enough to enable us to beat him in pointof time—an achievement which the chivairy ought to considera decided feat, so confident have they aware Sat in his vigilance and promptness. The t that the negro troops of the 18th corps had the mostim- pertant share in the capture of these works has ‘won for dark skins a much.

First street is one of the leading thorough- fares from the Navy-Yard and Capitol Hill to 6th street wharf and the Arsenal grounds. On square 210, A. P. Dougias has purchased the old school-house building, out of Riggs’ subdivision, and intends to build thereon two beautiful cottages. On the Istand, several of the alleys have been surveyed, and their graduations determined and fixed for the perfect drainage, grading and raae ibe squrres through which they are lo- The “Printing Office Square,” which has been fuch a nuisance, is now thoroughly drained, graded and paved. Arsenai.—Extensive improvements are in progress in and around this important Govern- ment station. Str veys are completed for a substantial sea wall along the west front. Itis also contemplated to open «James creez” canal as far as the Arsenal grounds extended. This will remove the malaria which has for many years threatened that part of the city with pes- tilence, and be of incalculable benefit to the Arsenal. Surveys haye been made for pry deghers houses on Square No. 989, fronting t_Capi- tol street, 10th and 11th streets east, and Bstreet south. These houses are for the «Philadelphia Company.” Ninth street west is paved and graded, and also B street north, from Seventh to Ninth streets, with suitable sewers and perfect drain- age. 'B street north, between 9th and 15th streets west, is now Shorveanly: graded and graveled. That street was so much used by Government teams that it was cut in many places three or four feet deep, rendering it impossible to do business along the whole canal line of wharf- age. Great credit is awarded to the Mayor for pressing an improvement so expensive to the city. Sowers six feet broad, on 6th street, from I to LL, are being continued, with suitable drops and traps. Similarimprovements also on 7th street, between H and L streets north. When these are completed, the cross gutters will be abol- ished, and through street grades established. In 9th street north the sewer will be con- tinued from Massachusetts avenue to L street north, thence along L street north to the center of the square, for the purpose of draining the alleys in Square 269, which have been a nui- sance for many years. phair sorte ET Tur Witzy-Brown Casx,—In the Circuit Court (Judge Wylie,) yesterday, after our re- port closed, this case was continued : Mrs. Elizabeth Brown was recalled by the de- fense, and examined at considerable length in regard to her administration on the estate. Wit- nsse did not have the marks on Emily’s hand- kerchief « E. M.” altered to « E. B.” just before she went to school, nor did she know any girl named Elizabeth Cross. Witness recollects about the time she was speaking of obtaining letters of administration, that the names of Marshal Brown, Jesse B. Haw, and George B. Prentiss, of Illinois, were named as the next of kin. S. D. Castleman, sworn.—Witness was well acquainted with Tillotson Brown, and afterhis death had a conversation with Mrs. Brown, in which she mentioned the names of Marshal and others as the next of kin, but not the name ot Emily Wiley. Witness never heard Tillot- son say that Emily was his daughter. Jane Robinson sworn.—Witness resides in Baltimore, and nearly 30 years ago used to go to the house of Miss Smithson, on Garden street, where Mrs. Brown was, under the name of Lizzie Reed. Justice Wm. Thompson testified that in 1939 he ‘was engaged in collecting claims, and in that ror he had placed in his hands a bill against é. R. Philips, or Read, foramount due Han- nah Smithson, as witness thinks, for board, which he collected in part from the same per- son he now recognized as Mrs. Brown, who was then living on B street, between 2d and 3d. ‘Witness re.erred to his account book and found an en 6 bill. Mrs. Elizabeth Wall, sworn.— Witness’ maiden name was Elizabeth Cross. Has known Mrs. Brown since she (witness) was a school-girl, and recollects, when her daughter Emily was about six years old, of being at the house on B street, between 2d and 3d, when Mrs. Brown was getting Emily ready to send to school. Some of Emily’s handkerchiets had been marked with the letters “E. M.,” and at Mrs. B.'s instance witness took out the “M.,” and ut in the «B.” Mrs. Brown said that Emily’s ‘ather was Dr. Miller, of Baltimore, but that she intended that Emily should pass by the name of Brown at school. On cross examination, which was continued at great length, the witness refused to tell her age. R. H. Lasky sworn.—Witness was the coun- sel of Tillotson Brown several years before his death, and counsel for Mrs. Brown atterwards, and he identified the ition filed tor letters of administration in the Orphans’ Conrt as in the hsndwriting of Mr. Davidge, with some of his (Witness’) interlineations. This petition was then admitted as evidence, and read to the jury. Witness stated that he employed Mr. Dav- idge as counsel with himself at the instance of Mrs. Brown. —————— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN—Canal. —Since our last report the receipts of coal was by the Cumberland Co., 1,113 76-10 tons; Central, 329.21; Consolidation, 475.48; American, 611.58; Hampshire and Baltimore, 342.21; Borden, 51939; J.C.
