FROM JAMES RIVER. Spirited Engagement with the Enemy— Victery of the Un Forces—Capture of Guns and Prisoners. BeRMupa HUNDRED, July 27, via FORTRESS Monrox, July 25.—An important movementis in progress from this point, and this moraing, whilst our troops were crossing the James Tiver to the north side, on two pontoon bridges, a rebel force came down and aitacked our men on the banks, before having had time to orzan- ize. A spirited engagement took place, and the enemy were driven back to their entrench- ments. Our troops still arriving, organized and attacked the rebel works, carrying them apd capturing four guns. marked ‘captared from the Yankees at Drewry’s Bluff.” ‘ealso be Bertha many prisoners. ‘be enemy Were finally driven {rom their po- sition into the roads far beyond, where skir- miehing continued when our informant left. The gunboats were on hand and rendered val- uable assistance n covering the landing of our troops. The gone captured are no doubt the same that were captured from Capt. Belger’s battery by the rebels on the 17th of May. These guns are now at City Point. ANOTHER ACCOUNT, General Grant well Pleased. A letter irom the Army of the Potomar, dated July 23, says: ‘Lhe arrival of some troops in the vicinity of Bermuda Hundred, a day or two ago, attracted the attention of the enemy, and caused them to believe that an advance on Richmond by way of Malvern Hill was intended. A force, consisting of Reeshan’s division and Longstreet’s corps, and Wilcox’s division of Hill’s corps, was immediately withdrawn irom the vicinity of Petersburg, andsent down to check the movement. To connteract this movement on the part of the enemy, the 2d corps was detached and sent across the James Tiver, and, at 6% o'clock yesterday morning, the advance met the rebel skirmishers in an open field, opposite Jones’ Neck. Their battery was in position at the edge of the woods on the further side of the field. A long live of skirmishers was throwa ont at once trom our force, who soon drove the rebels to their preastworks, where they were kept hotly engaged. while a brigade of the Ist division moved around on the left of the en- «my’s line, and getting on the lett of their flank, charged them, driving the rebels from their guns into the woods, capturing fifty or sixty prisoners and four guns, and « quantity of small arms. The enemy tell back on their reinforc ements, who occupied some strong works buiit there some two years ago. Our troops followed, taking up a position in front ana on their flank, and before this reaches you the entire party, it was hoped, would be caprured or roe eae e guns taken were four twenty-pound Parrotts, marked “May 29, 1964, ds Rich mond,” and were the same which had been captured from the 18th corps at Drewry’s Blut Jast May. Uur loss wae only about a half dozen wound. ed, none reported seriously. Gen, Grant rode to the front in the after- neon, and, in company with Hancoek, re- viewed the | par the enemy had taken. He seemed well pleased with the morniag’s oper- aticns. Gen. Foster’s command had a lively time with the enemy yesterday at this place, but his force being weak, he fell back some half a mile to a stronger position, which he held until the arrival of the 2d corps, He lost 40 or 50 men ‘wourded during the day. An attack was expected on Gen. Warren's front yesterday, but it was not made. Picket and artillery firing is indulged in to the ueua) extent, and was sharper in front of the 18th corps yesterday than formerly. A Conilict at Hard. (Correspondence of the New York Tribune] City Point, July 27, 10a m—I think i am safe in saying that the bali is about epening— that the grand conflict 1s at t and. Heavy cavnonading and masketry firing took place this morning all aloug the lines, particularly in General Butler's Department, aud up, and on both sides of Jamesriver, A ftrong pressure was made on Gen. Butler’s line yesterday, and the pressure is thus being retujned this morning. There wereheavy movements of entire army corps last night, the nature ot which it may be premature to definitely mention. The wildest enthusiasm and the highest ex. peciations prevailhere. There need be no fear for the result when the tug of war comes. The army is in magnificent conaition.

FROM THE SOUTHWEST. ghting near Helena—Discovery of a New Rebel Battery, Mzmrais, July 29.—Apparently well authen- ticated reports from Helena say that an expe- dition, consisting of a negre regiment, a portion of the 15th Illinois cavalry, and a section of a battery leftthat place on Monday morning in the direction of White river. When near Nelson, eighteen miles out, they en¢ountered a formidable rebei force, under Dobbins, and, after a short fight, were obliged to retire with a loss of two killed and fourteen wounded. Colonel Brooks, of the colored regi- ment, and a captain of the artillery, are re- ported among the killed. The rebels pursued ihe expedition to within nine miles of Helena, where our troops made a stand, and a sharp fight was going on when the informant left. The remainder of the 15th cavalry and other reinforcements are being sent rapidly forward trom Helena. Gen. Washburne has issued an order that all persons in West Tennessee and Mississippi having cotton will be permitted to bring it to Mempbis and store it in the hands of the Goy- ernment Quartermaster, suoject to such dis- position as may hereafter be made, the Quar- termaster giving a receipt therefor. Any cotton bronght in and disposed of in any other man- ner will be confiscated to the United States Government. _, Garo. July 20.—The steamer Empire, from New Orleans on the 2ist, bas arrived.

Gen. Hood bas signalized dis aceeptance o1 the command of the Army-of Tennessee With a brilliant victory, and juetified nis selec. lich by succres, the highest evidence of ite propriety. The tide bas: turned, the army has faced abowt, and ube sirategy of advance takes ibe place over that ot retreac. The initisiive of atiack has at last been taken by our army, and iis prestige aud morale wresied from the enrmy. Gea. Hood has tnrned npon tbe enemy, and been suceessful, It is impostibie to convey any idea of the grat- ifieatien which ihe news of the victory caused. The press cispatch was at first doubted. So often has the community been elated by first bews from ibat army, only to be disappointed by snbseqoent inteliugence. that men hesitated to believe what they 1esd. But seon the offietal dispatch ot Gen. Hood dispelled all doubt, and the public seit that a change had notonly taken place im comminders, put that a new pohey bud been succetsiully itaugurated, that may lead to the recovery ofall tpat has been lost, and eventually carry Our victorions banners into the territories of our enemy. Gen. Hood was kuown to be & man ever ready to fight, and his appomtment was regarded as practi- cal ordars to take no steps backward. . It was feit that he might be aeleated, but i waz believed that he would not retreat with. out trying the ordeal of wattle. He has justi« fied the confidence of the President. He has jonghta battie within the first week of his command, and wou an important victory. Of the completeness of this victory, at the time of writing, nothing is known; but the army is Low, } otwithstanding ifs losses, much strong- er than before it measured strepgth with itsad- verrary. The attack was made, not received; the enemy were driven, not repulsed. These terms are new to be appiied to the battles of the Army of Tennessee. General Hood, we be- lieve, is not the man to rest satistied with even attacking and driving theenemy. He will fol- low up his advantages, and uow, that he has broken up the old pclicy of that army, he will, he must press on, and cease not to drive the enemy back, and eventually out of Georgia.

We have the best of rumors from the valley, which place the army about in spots at promi. ~ nent places—New Market, Luray, Front Royal and Warrenton. A gentleman who reached this city on Saturday nizht from Edin. burg, twelve miles north ot New Market, states that when he left Strasburg was heid by onr forces. It was thought they would fall back, the enemy being reported in heavy force, but whether through New Market or over the Blue Ridge toward Warrenton could rot, of course, be understood. The ramors alluded to may have originated trom anticipation nearly. ++A Small Reverse,”’ Passengers who left Staunton on yesterday inform us,'hat our forces were, on Saturday, stillthe dther side of New Marxet, and that there was no probability of the immediate oc- cupation of Front Royal by the enemy. We learn from an officer who arrived on last eve- ning’s train, thaton W: ay last General Ramseur'’s division was nofortanate enough» to be attacked near Winchester, at a moment when it was not well prepared ta mertasude den attack froma superior force.
