EXTRA. LATEST FROM ATLANTA. —_—_—._— Heod Makes x Fresh Assaults on | Sherman's Lines, which are all Easily | Repulsed—Sberman Loses not more | than Ore Hundred Men. | eo | | We bear that dispatches, received here up | to ll a.m. to-dsy, state that Hood has made efforta to renew the assault upon Sherman's limes on four occasions since the heavy battle of Friday last. They were, however, feeble efforts, and were easily and promptly repelled | With butan aggregate loss to Sherman of one | hundred men. | Sherman is steadily closing in upon the | doomed city. His cavalry are also actively | engaged meantime in good work, and can | hardly fail of severing the last remaining line | of rebel communication with Atlanta. | | FROM GRANT'S ARMY. | —_s—__ _eececes at Malvern Hill—The Rebels ipped— We Capture Four or Five dred Prisoners and Feur Cannon. j es The steamer Dictator, from City Point, with the army mails and passengers, reached here about half-past ten o’clock this morning. We Dave news of an engagement at Malvern | ‘Hill, between our forces and four brigades of | rebel troops. On Tuesday afternoon a body of our troops, supported by Sheridan’s cavalry, moved to | the Point of Rocks, and crossed to the north side of the James river, but whether our forces met with any opposition here was not ksown at City Point, and the heavy cannon. ading beard from the direction of the Point | of Rocks may have been for the purpose of | covering the movements of our troops. | After crossing the river our forces started in | the direction of Malvern Hill, and, on Wed- nesday, when about three miles from that Place, they encountered four brigades of rebels. | A sharp fight is reported tohave taken place, which resulted in our capturing four cannon and between four and five hundred prisoners. Of the subsequent movements of our forces nothing was known at City Point, but when the Dictator came down the river some can- movading was heard in the direction of Mal- vern Hill. There is no truth in the reported naval en- gogement on the James between our gunboats | and the rebel rams, resulting in the loss of a | gunboat. The report doubtless originated from | the heavy firmng at the Point of Rocks. | pal z { BADLY DISCIPLINED. | From the complaints of farmers and others, | we judge tbat very little discipline has been | exercised over the troops of the Sixth Qorps | by their officers, in moving throngh the coun- | try lately in this vicinity. The depredations | made upon private property by some of the solcirrs of this corps is said to exceed even, in | the way of wanton destraction and pillage, | those of the Confederate raiding party, dis- graceful as were the deeds of the latter. | This conduct gives a bad name to our army, | is calenlated to do serious damage to the Union | cause. and aremedy should be applied prompt- | ly. The Sixth Uorps enjoys a high reputation dor gallantry, and we are sorry to see its good | name tarpished by such acts as these by any | portion of its members. | Tue New Loaw.—The New York Times of | yest'rday says: “The subscriptionsto thenew | popular ican yesterday (its first day) in the city of New York amounted toover :wo and a balf millions of dollars. There is an excel- lent feeling abroad in regard to it. and there is no serious doubt of its complete and early suc- cess. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. | a FROM KENTUCKY. Noted Guerrilla Killed.

(Correspondence of the Baitimore American.] Ferperick, July %.—Frederick is as quiet to-day as well ordered country town ona summer's day ought to be. There is plenty of talk of ther+bels coming, and the usual amount of contradictory stories as to their movements, numbers and intentions, bat I cannot learo from any reliable source that any namber of the enemy are on this side of the Potomac. Some few of Moseby’s men have crossed at the Point of Rocks. but they were only in gangs of two and three, engaged in doing 4 little pri- vate stealing. Hagerstown is still held by oar forces, and the stages re ranning without in- terruption. Altogether the rumors of war have grown {| smaller since Jeaving Baltimore, and the pro- bability ot any serious collision bas decreased 88 we Spproach the anticipated fleld of pattie.

The publication office of The Citizen, an ultra Copperhead paper, bas been closed, and its proprietors, Messrs. Baughman & Norris, are under arrest. They will be sent South. The rebel force on the other side of the Poto- mac are bosily engaged in gathering the crops in the Shenandoat Valley, which are ve heavy this year. Many believe that there wiil be no invasion until this is accomplished. The counties of Berkley and Jefferson have been levied on by General Early for two hundred thousand bushels of wheat, tobe furnished ready threshed, with a notice that if not fur- nished promptly the entire crop will be confis- cated. E. F. Later from Hagerstown and Martinsburg. Freverick, Thursday—2 p. m.—The stage from Hagerstown hax just arrived. I learn from the passengers that all is quiet oa the Upper Potomac. The rebel scouts have dis- | &ppeared trom the lise of the otomac, and it | is believed that oui i have fallen back beyond Martinsburg. Williamsport is occupied by our forces, and some of oursconts have crossed the river to Shepardstown. The belief is that the rebels are simply remaining in the Valley for the purpoee of gathering the crops. General Averill, I now learn with certainty, is uninjured amd at the head of his cavairy. Colonel Mulligan was undoubtedly killed. The particulars 1 obtain of Surday’s battle, which took place between Bunker's Hill and Winchester, much lessen its importance. Some of our dismounted cavalry are reported to have behaved badly and occasioned much of the loss we suffered. In the actual fighting we inflicted quite as much loss as we sustained, but in the disaster of the retreat we lost a good many prisoners. Mesers. Baughman and Norris, proprietors of the Frederick Citizen, were started South, via Harper’s Ferry, this morning. Tne case of Mr. Norris excites some commisseration, as he Jeaves behind him a wife in very delicate health. The paper. however, has been thor- ougbly-and unquestionably disloyal. No paper South would have been permitted to exhibit such malignity toward the rebel government for a day as the Citizen has manifested for this year past. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. City Point, July 26, 10a. m.—Very heavy and rapid artillery firing has been going on in the direction of Gen. Foster’s front on the north bank of the James river since daylight this morning, and at intervals volleys of mus- ketry can be distinctly heard. For several days past the rebels appear to have been rein- forcing heavily at that point, as if they sus- pected us of intending to mass forces there and advance suddenly on Richmond from that quarter. The heavy firing of this morning is probably an attack on Foster’s position to an- ticipate the expected movement. No dispatches have arrived from there this morning upto the hour of the mail boat's de; ‘ture; but no fears are entertained of Foster's ability to hold his position and repel any attack therebels may make upon him. Allremains quiet on the Petersburg front and beyond the usual amount of picket firing in frontof some of the corps, and the morn- ing and evening interchange of a tew shct and shell, there is nothing at all to chronicle. The troops are by no meansentirely inactive; but the country must await “the fullness of time” for further revelations. The precise oc- cupation and disposition of our forces is not at present legitimate matter for newspaper publication. The weather for two weeks past has been remarkably cool and pleasant forthe season, and some of the nights really chilly. Within this time several refreshing rains have fallen to Jay the dust, revive the grass and drooping foliage, clear and purity the atmosphere, and to brace and invigorate the sick and well. WF. FROM JAMES RIVER. Rumor of a Naval Engacement—Improve- ments at City Point. [Correspondence of the Chronicle.} City Port, Va., July 27.—All last night and this morning (Wednesday) there hag been heavy tiring on the other side of the Appo- mattox. * There is a rumor in circulation here that one of the rebel rams had sunk one of our gun- boats, and that the rams contemplate an excur- sion to this place. If they do thev will meet with a warm reception. Two of our monitors | bave gone up the river, and if they meet the rebel rams, there will be a spirited contest. You will hear of some important movements in ashorttime. Grant is not idle. Since the occupation of City Point by our forces there has been a vast improvement in almost everything connected with it. The landing for supplies for the army extends nearly half a mil», and is constantly crowded with stores and forage. Trains runs regularly | from here to the front, and the army is weil supplied with everything that could be de- sired. P. => 8T.

REPORTS FROM UP RIVER The Rebels Disappear from the Ba the River between Harper’ Martinsburg—They Cencentrate bey tinsburg, receive Reinforcements, and are said to be Moving Eastward. A cayalryman arrived in town this morn- ing from the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, which place he left yesterday afternoon. He confirms the report that the rebels have dis- appeared from the banks of the Potomac be- tween the Ferry and Martinsburg, but says that cavalry scouts whocamein just before he left, reported that the rebels were in large force (said to number 40,000, including a rein- forcement of 15,000 or 20,000 which they have received recently,) a short distance beyond Martinsburg, moving eastward. OUR AFFAIRS ABROAD, It 1s said to-day in official circles here that the dispatches from all quarters received by late arrivals demonstrate that our relations with all foreign powers are in a better state now than at any previous period since the commencement of the rebellion. ASSISTANT PROVOST MARSHAL OF THE MILITARY DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON. Major M. R. Littler, of the Veteran Reserve Corps, has been appointed Assistant Provost Marshal of the Military District of Washing- ton, with heaaquarters at Georgetown, Maj. Littler has also been assigned to the command of Forrest Hill prison, thereby relieving Capt. McCartney, of the Reserve Corps. UNDER SENTENCE OF COURT-MARTIAL, Chas. Sanborn, 9th New York; James Ward, 3d Pennsylvania; John Kelley, 5th Pennsyl- vania; Thomas Donnell, 2d D. ©., and Samuel Music, 14th U.S. infantry, will be taken from the Old Capitol this evening and sent to Fort Delaware, to serve out their terms of sentence by court-martial. FOR THE ALBANY PENITENTIARY. Jobrson S. Palmer, a citizen of Loadoun county, Va., now in the Old Capitol under sentence of court-martial for violating the laws and customs of war, will be sent to the Albany Penitentiary to-morrow morning, to be confined during the existing rebellion. ARREST OF OFFICERS, Capt. J M. Pearson, of the 4th New Jersey, and Lieut. W. D. MeUoy, otf — New York, were arrested this morning by the Military authorities for attempting to leave the city without authority. They were both commit. ted to the Old Capitol. ASSIGNED TO DUTY. Mr. G. B. Hansell, of this city, who was re- cently appointed 3d Lieutenantin the Revenue service, has been assigned to duty on the new revenue cutter, Wm. H. Seward, at Philadel- phia. FINANCIAL.—The New York Post of yester- day evening says: The principal points of interest this morning fre the fall in gold and therise in Government stocks; the activity in railroad shares and mis- cellaneous securities, and the continued deca- dence of the mischievous speculation in agri- cultaral produce, and in other articles of prime necessity to the masses of industrial popu- lation. Mr. Feesenden’s financial policy, from which much national benefit is anticipated, has al- ready produced results the importance and value of which can scarcely be overestimated. Gold opened at 252, and after selling down to 2464, recovered to 251. The loan market is more active, and the rate is fully 7 per cent. The stock market opened with great buoy- ancy, but closed dull. Governments are advancing in consequence of the increasing demand from investors in the country. Coupons of 1881 are wanted at 106%, and 5-20’s have sold as high as 109.

Wallace has informed editors here that information received last night renders it unnecessary to continue the restriction upon the publication of military news, as heretofore ordered, excepting as to the movement of troops in this department, We have nothing later authentic from the upper Potomac.

Smith O’Brien was held in the Council Ohamber (Vity Hal!). The meeting was called to order by Mr. R. S. Davis, on whose motion Dr. Thos. Antiseil was called tothe chair. Mr. James Ryan was appointed secretary. Dr. Antisell, in taking the chair, said that other cities had held meetings to pay homage to the memory of one of Ireland's noblest sons, and that it behooved us in the capital of the nation to do the same. In the death of O'Brien Ireland bad lost one of her purest sons; he took no advantage of pablic movements, he did not rise with the crowd, but he was emi- ently one of the peopie, He left a high and comfortable position and threw himself along ed the people in opposition to his earlier opinions. Tr. Antisell then alluded to the public servi- ces of O’Brien. When he ertered into public service, in 1827,he was placed there for the express purpose of Ee liberalizing, and fortunate it was that he was not educated in Ireland, as when he returned he had no lo- cal prejudices. In 1629 he, with his colleague, obtained in part what they wanted—Uatholic emancipation—but one greater evil remained —the tenure of land. From 1172 to the time of William III, Ireland was the scene of con- quest, and at each conquest the lands were confiscated, umtil a new set of landiords held the ceantry. The former owners were al- lowed to live ow the land and cultivate it, bat could not own it. This state of things con- tinued until 164°, when the whote of was owned by @,0:0 landlords—over 8,000,009 people. Dr, Autisell described the state of things existing at this time,aad gave a history of the lowe passed by Pi ent te opprese the poor, asked if it was wonderfal thata revolt took place; and he gave at length a his- tory of O’Brien’s services, and of his leaving Parliament. Mr. Davis moved the appointment ef a com- Mittee to draft resolutions expressive of the eence of the meeting. Which motion was carried, and the following 1, James Lackey, T. J. i, D.

If the de- ceased could have secured unity of action, the eat object of his life, the eafranchisement of freiand, would have been accomplished. Cot. Florence, Mr. D. J. Toohy, and T. J. O'Connell followed, each paying an appro- priate tribute to the memory ot the deceased. A vote of thanks to the Mayor and Board of Common Council Was passed, as was also to the Chairman, (Dr. ABUsell,) and the meeting adjourned. a Potick REPORTS—Second Preeinct.—Mich’l Ryon, selling whisky to soldiers: $20.

McMahon complied for a short time, but soon renewed the quarrel, when Pierce arrested him. James Keatly, the barkeeper ot the establishment, ran to the assistance of McM., and was about torescue him, when Of- ficers Wallingsford and Padget came to the assistanee of Pierce, and, after a rough time, during which Keatly attempted to draw a knife, they were taken to the station. This morning Justice Ferguson fined McMahon $5.58 for disorderly conduct, and Keatly $20.58 for carrying & concealed weapon and $16 for disorderly conduct, and also held them to bail for resisting the officer. —__ A Cow Oass.—Yesterday afternoon, Mr. McCormick, who resides in Uniontown, was before Justice Cullon the charge of unlawfully retaining a cow belonging to officer Cline, It appears thata numberof cows, among them Mr. Cline’s, got into Mr. MeVormick's corn- field and destroyed some of his crop, and all succeeded in getting out except Mr. C.'s. Mr. McCormick sent word tothe owner that he had the cow, and Mr. C. went over to get the cow or milk her, but he was refused and or- dered off the plaee. Aftera protracted hear- ing, (Mr. Day appearing for the complainant.) the justice gave judgment for plaintiff. The question as to damages will go into @burt. ——_—___— Petty LARCENIES.—Margaret Broderick was arrested yesterday by officer McOolgan, on twocharges of larceny. The cases were tried by Justice Giberson, and it appeared by the defendant's confession that she took a pair of ear-rings from Mary Ryan, and a finger- ring and linen collar from Anne Digney. She declared that she did not intend to steal then, but only intended to use them at a distance, to which she was going. She was held to bail for court. Cbsrles Bently was arrested by officer Frazier for the tarceny of certain prop- erty, &c., from the restaurant of P. M. Dubant & Bro. The case was tried b-fore Justice Bates, who held Bently to bail for court. Se Doc SLAUGHTER.— Yesterday, the officers of the Fourth Ward reported the total number of dogs killed during the day as thirty-two in that ward alone.

From the appearance of the muskets, it is presumed that they were lett behind by the “Johnnies” when they were running away from the 6th corps. Inquest.—This morning, Coroner Woodward held an inquest in view of the body ofa sol- dier, named William Leary, company A, I2Ist New York volanteers, who was shot by a guard at a house kept by a negro, named Grif- fin Burk, corner of Canal and Potomac streets. The guard had possession of the bouse, and had orders not to let any one pass out. Leary gotout and attempted to escape, the guard called to him four times to halt, bat he refased, and the guard fired. The ball and the buckshot struck him on the back, right side, and passed through, causing death instantly. One of the shot struck Mr. S. Fearson in the hind, and the ball struck a chair some distance away. The jury justified the guard and officers, ra- turning & verdict that the shot was fired by the guard in the discharge of his duty. Francis H. Warner, the guard who fired the fatal shot, is an old soldier, highly esteemed by his of- ficers, and was greatly distressed by the oc- currence. Port of Georgetown.—Schooners Wm.
