The enemy, the last two Dights, have been feeling our line on the left, but nothing more than skirmishing between the pickets has taken place. The two telegraph operators, Flynn and Hambrigat, on duty at Burnside’s headquar- ters, who have been on trial during the past week, charged with making known the sub- stance of despatches to others than those to whom they were addressed, were found not guilty by the Court. General Meade, however, | Mg deeming them to have been guilty of disobedi- ence of orders and breach of trust, has ordered | them to be sent beyond the limits of the army, | and forbidden to return. Deserters continue to arrive insmall squads; &@ lieutenant and twelve men reached here yes- terday. They tell the usnal stories of demor- | alization and the prospect of speedy destruc- | tion of the rebel army. Thousands they say, are leaving on account of not receiving any | pay, while their families are starving, and i they are determined to stay in service no long- | er under any circumstances. | Gen. Park is now in command of the Ninth | Army Corps. Additional particulars have been received of | the action of Sunday. Part of the 2d and part | of the 10th Sorye on gaeee the enemy in the afternoon, near Bottom. The 10th, under General Birney, took part of a line of works, ‘with four eight-inch brass guns and a number of prisoners. His loss wassmall. The enemy | fell back to & strong position. The 2d divisionof the 2d corps was drawn up in line of battle and advanced abouta mile | beyond where Hancock captured the four guns two weeks ago. Here the Ist brigade, Colonel Macy commanding, took the lead and charged across & corn-field, over a hill, and dowaz into a ravine, where they eame toa swamp, with @ stream on the other side, the ground covered ‘with impenetrable brush on the margins. During all this time they were exposed to a heavy fire from the rebel artillery, which did 3% good deal of damage. It was found impossi- ble to cross the ravine, and the men were halt- ®@d and lay concealed as well as possible until dark, when they were withdre wn. Colonel Macy had his horse shot under him, | and mounting General Barlow’s horse, the animal became unmanageable, and finally fal- ling on the Colonel, badly bruised him. Colonel Macy was wounded in the Wilder- ness, and had returned to the field only aday or two before. The division lost at least three hundred men in the engegement, The Ist and 3d divisions, which were in support, lost about two hundred and fifty from the effects of the rebel artillery. The wounded were all brought off, and are nearly all being cared for at Cee Point. Lieut. Colonel Warren, 36th Wisconsim, lost | his left arm, while gallantly leading his regi- ment in charge. Maj. W.H. Hamilton, 26th Wisconsin, was severely wounded in the face, and Capt. Lind- ley, of the same regiment killed. Sergeant Ball, 36th Wisconsin, killed, and | about twelve wounded in that regiment. Sergeant Fuchs, 36th Wisconsin, color bear- er, was badly wounded. This isthe third time he has been wounded in the present campaign. Lieut. Telley, 125th N. Y., and Lieut. Wheel- house, 2d N. Y. artillery, wounded. Our troops still hold their position in front of the enemy’s works, which are very strong and well defended, owing to the nature of the country in the vicinity. * General Burnside at Providence. PROVIDENCE, R.1., August 16.—Major Gen- eral Burnside ts in town on leave of absence. He has not been relieved of his command. The Court of Inquiry, without coming to any decision, adjourned on account of the neces. sary absence of some of its members. + we The Situation. Whether we look at Atlanta, Mobile, or Petersburg, the whole aspect of the situation is just now exceedingly favorable. The official announcement of the results of Farragut’s vic- tory equals every expectation formed by the first advices of the victory, and proclaims the old Admiral as able and as brave as he has always been modest. At Petersburg Grant seems to have found asolution for the vexatious problem that the recent failure of his assault on the rebel works has thrust upon him. He has discovered that the city can be flanked, and close on the discovery eame the firrt steps of its execution. Hancock has succeeded in ascend- ing the James river, and driving the rebel troops out ef Dutch Gap. The river at this point makes a U-shaped berd. The gap joins the per portion of the figure, and makes a smal) land called Farrar’s Island. In a straight line this position is about eight miles from City Point; but by the river, which is here, as all who have sailed upon it know, ec! ie. We think it probable, from information re- ceived from a private correspondent in New Orleans, that a land attack upon the rear of Mobile formed a part of the plan of operations against the city and bay; and that it is e: our forces will be able to capture mot only the city but also the troops defending it. ‘he latest mail from New Orleans is only to the 7th, and the result of such a Jand move- ment could not at that time be Known. The news from rebel sources is not any later, the latest Mobile despatch in the Richmond jour- nals which have come to hand being dated the 7th. We must therefore wait ava few days to know what the army has done. It will be remembered that some weeks ago a force was sent to Pensacola, from which point itmarched inland, for the purpose, as ‘was said, of meeting “ane succoring if neces- sary one of General Sherman’s cavalry expedi- tions. Now we have reason to believe that the army at Pensacola was strongly and suddenly reinforced in the first days of August, and was repared tor a movement against the rear of obile, to co-operate with another force, which setout from New Orleans by way of Lake Pontchartrain not many hours before Farragut began his attack. This latter body would ot course approach Mobile trom the west. The city which is thus threatened lies about midway between Pensacola and Mississippi City, the Tyo pelts of departure for the co- operative land troops. These two points are each less than fifty miles by sea from the en- trance of Mobile Bay. while the overland march tothe rear of the city cannot be les than one hundred miles, through a difficult country. We need not expect to hear of land Operations, therefore, for some days to come. If, asis not unlikely, General Canby should strike the railroad and river some distance north of Mobile, in order to destroy the one and command the other, and thus cat off the city from relief, then we may not hear of ceceye operations for a week, or even a fort- The rebel force defending Mobile cannot be great; the whole country has been swept clean of soldiers to reinforce Hood; and if:is a no- ticeable fact that General Grant did not ven- ture to order operations against Mobile until the rebels had fully committed themselves to the defence of Atlanta. It is impossible now for Hood to send away 4 part of his army to defend Mobile; and, unless some unforeseen obstacle interferes, the city is likely to be ours within a few days.—N. Y. Evening Post. General Butler’s Canal. A letter from the Army of the Potomac says: For some time past Major General Butler has been conning over a brilliant scheme wherewith to annoy the enemy, and advance the Union interest in this region materially. His plan contemplated nothing less than the construction of a canal at what has hitherto been known as Dutch Gap—hereafter to be known as Butler’s Gap—in the dircct face of the enemy, which, when done, should, among other results, by reason of its situation, com- pel the rebels to extend their line of defence a distance of tour miles—that Is to say, the dis- tance sayed tous by the digging of the canal, which is to be one hundred and forty yards in length, is seven miles of water course in the James river. Seme four days since the proper details of men and officers were made for this important and hazardous work, and these men were ea- couraged to its performance by extra inducc- ments, and placed under the general command of Major Ludlow, of the departmental staff. The work proceeded handsomely for three days, during the last of which the enemy dis- covered our operaiions, and made instant preparation to open fire, which the result will show to have been an advantageous one for them, though Ludlow nobly and successfully held his position, still holds it, and will con- tinue to hold it until his appointed work is ac- | complished. 2 At5 o’clock yesterday morning two Rebel Tams, believed to be the Virginia and the Rich- mond, though some think’one of them was the Lady Davis, appeared at Dutch Gap, in the James river. The James at this point forms a ppromantory, which is very narrow at ils apex. he shape of this promontory is in the form of a long tongue, and, verging to the northward and westward makes another turn, which forms a point similar to the first, east by north. Hence the river bends yet again, and forms a third angle running northwest. Under cover of this angle completely and literally shel- tered from our gunboats, lay the two Rebel rams. Their position was such as, taken in connection with the Howlett House battery of the enemy, to subject our forces to a severe enfilading fire, which was borne throughout the day with manly fortitude by our men. The successful construction of the canal, of which there can be no doubt, will, it is alleged, enable our gunboats to wholly overcome the formidable obstructions in the James river, and possibly ultimately be the means of their engsging Fort Darling and other rebel strong!y fortified places adjacent to Richmond, and per- haps, before the end comes, operate largely in the reduction of the rebel capital itself. These are glowing anticipations; but nevertheless they are capable of realization by patient and indulgent waiting for. Any one of these results, added to the necessity imposed upon the enemy of lengthening his line of defense a distance of four milee, requiring several thoa- sands of men to man this prolongation of their lines, will certainly be regarded as adequate compensation for the time, labor and men be- stowed upon the accomplishment of the under- taking. Epwakp A. PoLtLarp.—This individual, formerly one of the editors of the Richmond Examiner, and who was some months since taken prisoneron the blockade runner ad hoand, brought to this port and subsequently committed to Fort Warren, was discharged from the fort last Friday. It is said that he has been exchanged for some Federal prisoner in Ricbmond, and that he is on his parole to go to the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., where he isto report regularly to the provost marshal. Previous to leaving the fort, Pollard took the oath, swearing not to make any revelations, either verbal or written, and to keep his parole strictly and truly, &c.

From Fort Darling it is distant about siahe miles; from Richmond fourteen miles, by r. The expedition seems to us to be intended to cut off communication between Petersburg and Richmond. The railroed connecting the cities is scarey five miles from the Gap, and if,as is claimed, our force is respectable in numbers, and has taken the rebels by surprise, we see no difficulty in isolating Lee from the city which be has for four years so A sageer al, defend- ed. The experience of war has, however, taught us not to hope or predicate too much. The rebels im the outset may have been sur- rised, but it is likely that preparations were immediately made for our reception, and to =e the railroad intact. Troops could easily be forwarded from Richmond or Petersburg to hold the road. Lee’scelerity of movement in the last assault strengthens this supposition. Hancock cannot, therefore, pr ‘without fighting, but ‘his presence will divert large bo- dies of troops from Petersburg, and jeopardize it, for Grant still rematos in front, and hii known ability may enable him to grasp a v. tory despite the efforts of the enemy.— Philadel- phia Press. a7 The following dispatch from Mr. Chase, ‘ which was received subsequently to the con- vention in the First Congressional District of Ohio, is published as an act of justice to that dis\inguished citizen, who, it will be seen, is not responsible for the use made of his name on that occasion ; Boston, August 4.

Arrival of Wounded—Our Forces Supposed be Advancing—Butler’s Canal at Dutch Gap—Indications of Active Operations on Land and Water. The mail steamer John Brooks, Capt. Ben- der, arrived from City Point at about 5 o'clock thls morning, with the mails from the army and passengers, among them over twenty rebel prisoners, including one or two commissioned Officers and several refugees, The hospital steamer State of Maine, Capt. John Borden, which left City Point yesterday afternoon, arrived here about noon with three hundred wounded on board, mostef whom belong to the Ist brigade, 2d division of Han- cock’s corps, wounded in the fight on Sunday morning at Deep Bottom. Among them are nineteen officers, including Col. G. W. Macy, 20th Massachusetts, and Lieut. Col. C. E. Warner, 36th Wisconsin. Most of these were wounded early in the ac- tion, and were immediately brought off. Our forces, at last accounts, held the position taken, and were to haye made an assault on the enemy’s strong works in front of them on Mon- day, and from the firing heard yesterday it was believed that we were advancing. The rebels are J tie nn toh attempting, by an enfilading fire from Mowlett’s Landing and their gun-boats, to stop the laborers engaged in cutting the canal across Dutch Gap, where- by a distance of overseven miles will be saved in going up the James river, and the passage of a battery on the end of the peninsula will be avoided, but the work still goes bravely on, and it is expected that the water will be let into it sometime this week. The workmen have to cut their way through a bank over fifty feet high and the canal we understand is about 19 feet eee, which will float the largest vessels now on James river. It is contemplated that instead of sending the iron-clads to Norfolk or other points hereafter when they are disabled, to repair them up the Tiver and werkmen are being engaged to go up and keep themselves ready tor work. THE PIRATE SEMMES AND THE WRIGHT CAP MACHINE, There has been recently published in Eng- land an account of “The Cruise of the Alabama and Sumter, from the Private Journals and other Papers of Commander R. Semmes, C. S. N.’ This publication has a biographical sketch of the pirate Semmes, giving the par- ticulars of his desertion of his trust as a com- mander in the U.S. Navy and member of the Light House Board. After being formally en- gaged in the service of the enemy, (and nottill then,) he resigned his commission in the U.S. service. «He was then deputed by Jefferson Davis to ‘return to the Northern States and make large purchases and contracts for machinery and munitions, or for the manufacture of arms and munitions of war; and to obtain cannon and musket powder, the latter of the coarsest grain, and to engage with a certain proprietor of powder mills for the embarkment of a pow- der mill at some point in the limits of eur ter- ritory.’ He was also informed that at the Arsenal at Washington he would find an ar- tifleer named Wright, who had brought the cap machine to a high degree of efficiency, and who might be induced to furnish a machine.’ We do not know what success Semmes had in other quarters in pursuance of his mission, but he certainly did not get much aid from our fellow-townsman, the ingenious inventor of the cap machine. This machine, it is well known, turns off work with greatrapidity and perfection, and it is not strange that the Con- federate leaders should have been anxious to secure it and the seriyces of its inventor for their benefit. There is quite an interesting little chapter connected with their efforts to secure the cap machine, and it serves to show how early and howsystematically theycommenced their plans to betray their country. Semmes, who was then residing in the First Ward, actually did call on Mr. Wright onthe 25th of February, 1361, and urged Mr. W. to enter into an arrange- ment with him to furnish a cap machine. Mr. Wright positively declined and Semmes reluctantly abandoned the attempt. 1t would seem that the rebel leaders at Rich- mond getting solicitous in regard to the cap machine and not hearing from their agent Semmes, in regard to the matter, they conclu- ded to address Mr. Wright directly, and oa the 2d ot May, 1°61, he received the following: Mr. G. Wright :—If you will come here and make us & cap machine, the state will give you goou pay and a premium, which will satisfy you. Ifyou will say exactly what will in- duce you to come, I will telegraph you back under a feigned name of Roswell Charter, and my name you may call John R. Richardson. Yours respectfully, ©. Dimmock, Col. of Ordnance. Richmond, Va., April 27, 1864. This letter Mr. Wright never answered, but he promptly laid it before Colonel Ramsay, then commandant at the Arsenal, by whom it w:s shown to the War Department. Thus ended the rebel attempt to secure the famous cap machine Mr. Wright, who is master ma- chinist at the Washington Arsenal, has been in Government service for twenty-four years. His course in the matters referred to affords a noble contrast to that of the Semmes’ school, who turned and stung the paternal Govern- ment that had cherished them. ESCAPE OF PRISONERS, On the morning of the 15th two prisoners (rebels) confined in the Old Capitol succeeded in effecting their escape by lowering themselves from the window ot their apartment by means of their blankets. One of them we understand Jacerated his hand pretty severely. Thus far they have not been arrested but detectives are on their track. REBEL DESERTERS.
