ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Attack on Burnside’s Line—Its Fail: Damage Done. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, June 29,5 a. M.—An attack was made on Burnside’s line about 11 0’clock on Saturday night, with the intention of driving back a working party who were engaged in digging entrenchments toward the enemy so as to gaiu & better position in which to place guns to more effectually cover the works infront, The firing was very brisk for about an hour, re- sulting in our men holding their ground and continuing their labors without any loss of consequence. The usual amonnt of picket firing took place yeeterday, being a little more persistent in front of the 9th corps than at any other point. It is usual to relieve the picket lines shortly atter dark, and theenemy being, rally on the alert at the least noise, invariab! iz open fire, in the hope of being able to pick off some of our men while the change is being made. It issel- dom any harm results from these attacks, as the men have become so careful to screen them- selves, that it is next toimpossiblefor the rebel eharpshooters to get range on them. The health of the troops is in the main good, considering the oppressively hot weather they have had etince their arrival here. and the scarcity of water in this section. The 18th corps seems to have the greatest number in the hospital from the effects of the hot weather. The colored troops are reported as being un- affected by the heat. Surgeon Jackson, in charge of the 4th divi- sion hospital, 9th corps, reports that, in thatdi- vision, only forty men ontof four thousand were unfit for duty when they were pnt into the fight on Tuesday last to relieve the 2d corps. This tends to show how much better they can endure the scorching rays of the sun than the white troops. FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Successful Un: Raid—Railr. Stores Destroyed. New York, June 28._The Herald says the expedition of General Palmer, from Newbern into the center of North Carolina hasretarned, and reports favorably of its progress. They destroyed the Wilmington and Weldon raii- road, near Goldsboro’, and immense quantities of rebel stores. They found thecountry almost deserted, andeasily captured the few troops left to guard the road. An Encouraging View of the Situation. ‘Special dispatch to New York Tribune. } ABHINGTON, June 27._Mr. Dana, the As- sistant Se of War, who willbe accept- ed throughout the United Statet as onefof the most intelligent and cool observers that have studied the war, as well as one of the most trath- ful of men, has answered the questions of anxious inquirers here about the situation at Petersburg, to the effect that Lee’s force is not more than two-thirds of Grant’s; that our losses last week in the movement toward the Weldon Road was militarily unimportant, and that Grant had his hand on Lee’s throat, and would keep his hold till he strangled him to death. He gives to all the assurance of our final and conclusive success. Among the striking facts which Mr. Dana has mentioned is that we have atthis moment 51,000 of the Rebel soldiers risoners in our hands. The public feeling ere to-nightis one of absolute, unwavering confidence in the future and in Grant, and over and above all inGrant’s army. The cool- estand most soldierly heads in Washington now declare that it cannot be whipped—the nation, indeed, can lean on it. Closing of the Philadelphia Fair. PHILADELPHIA, June 29.—The Sanitary Fair closed to-night. The attendance was larger than on any previous occasion. Theexcitement about the votes was very great. The principal ones resulted as follows: Thesword to General Meade; camp chest to General Birney; horse equipments to General Hancock; silver vase to E. G. James, Esq., of the Corn Exchange Asso- ciation. The principal competitor for the last was the Union League. There are no means of ascertaining the total proceeds of the fair, but they will exceed a million. From Fortress Monroe.

Nyw York, June 28.—A fire broke out in the cabinetmaker’s establishment of Phelps & Kingsley, on Chatham street, this morning, destroying from fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars’ worth of property. English Views of Grant’s Campaign. The progress ot Grant toward Richmond is a theme of comment in all the leading English journals. The London Times says that Grant has evidently abandoned his original tactics and called strategy tothe aid of brute force. It thinks the change undoubtedly betokens disappointment it not weakness, but adds: It is not indeed impossible that Grant's army, after all its terrible losses, 1s as strong now as it was when the campaign opened. It is well appointed, and lacks nothing that greenbacks can procure. Itsequipmentis per- fect, its artillery numerous, its provisions at present abundant, its health for the moment good, and its spirits such as thespirits of Amer- icans always are. It will fightas wellasithas hitherto done, and will bear the slaughter ofa third of its numbers with the equanimity which so _ surprises Europeans. The General AN fe Coubtless, use all his ene: and attack the enemy again and in with ihe obstinacy of a ma who mnowatnar all depends on his success. On the one side are fame, popularity, the highest honors, the Presidency itself; on the other are obscurity, slander, and the association in men’s minds with a Pope and a Hooker. A man who has done so much as Grant will struggle with des- peration todo more. All that wecan be sure of is that the Confederates will have to stand the shock of & very powerful army wielded by an energetic will; and we may further pre- sume that if they succeed in worsting arch aa antagonist, the effect on the Northern people will be greater than has been hitherto produced by any campaign.” ‘The Morning Post says Grant has undoubt- edly shown great judgment and boldness, but the decisive battle has yet to be fought. The Daily News eulogizes Grant's strategic movements, and thinks that the worst he has now to fear is the malaria of the region around Richmond, and that it Richmond _ is to be pre- served, it must be preserved by the army now under its walls. The Morning Star interprets the Persia’s newsas highly favorable to the North, and looks upon Grant’s advance as a great victory. The Morning Herald treats the accounts as favorable for the South. Death of Th: s Hyere Information reached the Coroner's office yes- terday morning of the death of Thomas Hyer, the well known Cpa ie of the American rize-ring, at his late residence, No. 135 East Phirty-nfth street. Coroner Naumann soon afterwards proceeded to hold an inqueston the body. ‘ The evidence showed that Mr. Hyer had been complaining for several years and that about half-past twelve o’clock the night previeus he returned home in a light wagon, accompanied by &@ stranger. Hesat down on the stoop and called forice water, tse was furnished him. Soon afterwards . Hyer complained of feeling sick, and shortly before twoo'clock, a.m., he went to bed. Two hours and a half subsequently he woke up and asked his niece, Mary Harrison, then in attendance, tor more ice water. He spoke no more after that, and died shortly before six o'clock, a. m., he retaining his senses to the last. Deputy ner Thomas Ko!

Grant's ¥ jcations— Rebel Acceunts from Georgia, &c. Richmond papers of the 23d and Petersbarg of the 22d indent have been received at Ne York, and the following extracts published : Affairs at Petersburg. [From the Petersbarg papers, June 22.J Ineessant Firing Du Menday Night. From ten o’clock until day-dawn around the entire line the popping of musketry was dis- tinctly heard t! hout the city. It was in- ceseant,not a secon d’s time elapsing between the discharges of the pieces, and at the distance ‘we occupied resembled more the ‘lar ex- ‘vlosion of fire-crackers than anything to which ‘We can liken it. - Tye Blakeley Gun—Shelling the City. Yesurday morning early thatsame old be: two powder Blakeley of the enemy, which now becOt so fami to the ears of Peters- burg people, commenced its daily business, and at the uéuM\ intervals ot five minutes its reverberating nls would break upon the ear. This gun is stationec at or near Pace'sfarm,on the City Point road, end has thrown many shells into the lower partof the city, but se far has caused no destruction of life. On Monday evening one of the missiles fei near the market house, entering one of the smal prick buil to the weet of the market, occupied by Frank Perkins, cutting a girder in two scattering the plastering in alldireetions. An- other scraped the tin roef of the Southside depot building, glanced over the depot yard, ricocheted, and finally brought up at the bot- tom of the Appomattox. The Enemy Opened On from the Chester- field Side. Abont ten o’clock a couple of our batteries, eccupying an advantageous position on the Chesterfield side of the Appomatox, paid their respects to the enemy’s guns in the yi- cinity of Jordan's farm, stopping the thunders of the Blakeley monster for a while, and caus- ing the gunners to leave, at first in twos, and then, as the locality became hotter, in squads, five, eight, ten, and fifteen. Our batteries were supposed to have disarranged matters in that ity considerably, as we did not hear from pe Blakeley for several hours. Abont seven ist evening she opened again and continued her firing at the usuf.l intervals, Baldy Smith Crossing the Appemattox. Large bodies of troops, supposed to be at- tached to Baldy Smith’s Eighteenth Army Corpe, were observed crossing the pontoons on the lower Appomattox, and itis not improbabie that General Ulysses, chafing, under the re- straint imposed by our well-massed lines around onr city, will repeat his often tried pro- cess of hurling large columns against our en- trenchments. They will be welcomed as they were at Spottsylvania Court House and Coal Harbor. Grant’s Fortifications in Prince Geerge. A gentleman who left Prince George a day or two since says that Grant has apparently a very large force between the defences of Pe- tersburg and City Point. He is heavily forti- fied, his line of earth works extending from the Appomattox, ata point ashort distance below Petersburg, to and beyond the farm of Tim- othy Rives, in Prince George, in a southeast- erly direction. Here it unites with another line, which stretches off toward the James river, in @ northeasterly direction—the two forming an acute augle, or, in other words, a very broad letter V. The northeasterly lineis, of course, intended to guard againstany move- ment which may be made to strike the enemy from his flank from the eastern side. Operations at Reame’s Station, PETERSEUEG, June 22—The Yankee raiding party, after cutting the Weldon road at Reama’s station, proceeded toward Dinwiddie Uourt House for the purpose of cutting the Southside Toad at that point, and telegraphic communi- cation has already been interrupted thera. The ‘water tank and depot were burned at Reams's, and one hundred and fifty yards of the track torn up, but it will be repaired to-night, A force of ours has been sent in pursnit, The Latest from Grant's Army. The latest from Grant’s army, Tuesday night, now arrived Petersburg, at 11 e’clock, was a villainous shell. The noisy missile fell in Bar street, striking the large mulberry three in front of the old Intelligencer building, and cutting off a limb some eight inches in di- ameter. Nobody hart. Naval Operations. It was expected that our rams and the bat- tery at Howlett’s would, on yesterday morn- ing, renew their fire upon the Yankee moni- tors lying east of Dutch Gap; but no cannon were heard in that direction up toa late hour last evening, and there were no rumors ot an engagement. Our people have learned to ex- pect little from our iron-clads, and naval af- fairs occupy very little of public attention. Indians Captured among the Yankee Pris- oners. The following isa partial list of the names of the Indians captured near Petersburg: Jacke Penasenorquod, Louis Miskequat, W. McSurraw, Michael Johnny, Jackson War- gishwebber, Adam Scohboquaheem, Peter Pen- arroqnaquaw, John Nicheraw. The provost marshal, or the commanding of- ficer at Andersonville, Ga., whither the pris- oners are now going, Will have asweet time in getting a list of them. Rebel Accounts frem Georgia. Manrretta, June 21.—The enemy’s right at- tacked our left yesterday, under Gen. Hardee, and were repulsed with great slaughter. We captured sixty prisoners, among them Lieut. Col. Watson, of the 4th Ohio. Gen. Johnston, as well as the whole army, is anxious for an engagement. A FREMONT RATIFICATION MRETING.— A Fremont ratification meeting was held at New York on Monday evening. The Times tells us what sort of an affair it was: The Fremont ratification last night was a curious affair, admirably in keeping with the movement iteelf. It was respectably large and reasonably enthusiastic, but both its size and its enthusiasm were due to everything else than the Fremontelement. Inside the meet- ing seemed to be about equally divided be- tween the friends of McOlellan and those of Lincoln, while outside it was almost exclu- sively a McClellan thering. Occasional cheers were given for Fremont and Uochrane, but without any special zest er heartiness. To all intents and purposes it was a Democratic gathering, just as the movement itself is, neither more nor less than a Democratic dem- onstration. There was not at the meeting, nor is there anywhere, either in this State or any other, the slightest desire to make Fremont President, or the faintest shadow of belief that, upon any ground, personal or political, he ought tobe elected. Heis used asa willing tool by men, who, like himself, have revenges to gratify, or by others who seek a party tri- umph to aid in the defeat of Mr. Lincoln. Just now the Democrats are using him to swell the roll of Mr. Lincoln’s enemies. Gen. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY.—In commenting upon the possibility of Gen. Grant, in acertain contingency, accepting the nomi- pation for the Presidency, the Milwaukee Sen- tinel avers that it “knows from perfectly reli- able sourees that Gen. Grant has peremptorily refused, in advance, any offer of the Presi- dency. He replied to those who were to learn his views on the eubject, that while the war lasted no earthly inducement conld take him voluntarily trom bis present position, and that even should the warcometoa speedy conclusion he would be the most ungratefal of men to run against Mr. Lincoln. This decla- ration comes to us through the most rrust- worthy sources, and affords to us conclusive proof that Gen. Grant has fully decided not to enter the political arena. And those who know him know that he is not apt to waver when he has made up his mind one way or the other.” tate idaes tate eal SENATE CONFIRMATIONS.—The following ; noroinations have been confirmed by the Senate in, BS vere iel S.
