' We gives map to-day of the scene of these important perations The news from Genera! Butler's army is also interest Ing. A robel ironclad came down the James river on Wodnesday morning and attacked the Union Monitors jor upwards of two bours most vigorously. She was foaily driven up the river. General Butler has issued an order that the rebel prisoners Biptured by General Wild iv bis recent engage ments on James river, aid sent by bim to Fortress Monroe, shall be returned to Gen, Wild’s headquarters, to be dealt with im some fashion not made known, The oder is interpreted to moan some retaliation for the shooting of colored troops captured from General Wild. fleavy skirmishing in Butler’s front was going on luring Monday and Tuesday, General Terry bad a brisk artillery Goel with the enemy on Monday, which only Ponsed at sundown, Oar gunboats on the Appottomax were actively engaged with the enemy's forts. General Beauregard bolds a position, with only twelve thousand men, in front of General Butler. The Richmond journals are fruitful in victories. Among the great successes claimed by the rebel leaders we may cite the baitie of New Hope, near Marietta, in Georgia, which is deecribed as @ great success for the rebels, but im whicb all their dead aud wounded were deft upon the field, and Gen. Sherman’s forces actually bad advapoed several miles. Tuese stories of victories in the Wost are circulated to give courage to General Leo's army, while per contra all the fights in which General-Lee Ws engaged are magnified into victories im order to inspire Johnston's army. To show how far the battle at New lope was a success for the rebels, we quote from the ofl. Cial account of it sent by General Sherman to Mr. Stanton, published in our columns on Tuesday. Goneral Sherman Bays that “an @ogagoment took place between the enemy and McPberson’s corpe, in which the enemy was driven back with « loss Of two thousand five hundred killed and wounded left io our bands, and about three hundred prisoners. General McPherson's loss not being over three bundred in al.” So much for the great rebel victory at New Hope, CONGRESS.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steam travsport City of Bath, Captain Zincoln, which sailed trom this port on @® 1st inst for Washington, D. C., returned iast evening, with her bows stove in and stem carried away, having collided off Cape May with the steam transport Pocahontas, Captain Baxter, from New Orleaus bound for New York, The Pocahontas sunk, car- rylug down forty of her crew and passengers with her, inctuding Captain Baxter. ‘The Board of Councilmen held no meeting yesterday, a quorum noi being present when tho roll was called, ‘Ibe regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce was held at half-past one o\lck yesterday, A considerable amount of business was transacted and seve- ral important questions disoussed. The Reciprocity treaty with Canada was considero, and 9 committee ap- pointed tn relation te the matter, a majority of the mem- ‘vers being in favor of a continuance of the existing oom- mercial relations between the two countries. The city authorities were censured for vot providing means for More Acting reception of the remains of the late General Wadsworth and other d cessed generals of the army. A committee, consisting of the Mayor and one member of the Chamber; oue member of the Produce Exchange and two from the Union Lea;ae Cub, was appointed to take charge of such matters in future, and co-operate with the military authorities in paying proper respect to deceased officers whose remains may arrive in this city. ‘The Union Central Committee met last evening at thoir rooms, corner of Broadway and Twenty-third street. The meeting wes held with closed doors, aud the officers refused to give reporters any information as to the na- ture of the busiaess transacted, The approaching Balti- more Convention, however, was understood to be the question discussed by the committee. The number of persons in the public inatitutions of the city at present is 6,28°—1 decrease of four in the past week. The case of ex-Governor Price, of New Jersey, against 8. P. Dewey and others, which has been on trial in the Supreme Court, circuit, before Judge Foster, for the last ten days, will probably be fnisbed to-day, The evidence is pretty well exhausted, and it is supposed that the case will be given to the jury this evening. The jury jn the case of Edward Hunter, tried in tho Generat Sessions for the murder of bis wife, were locked up ail night on Wednesday, and, not having agreed upoa averdict at alate hour la:t evening, Recorder Hoffman instructed them to be again locked up ior the night. It appears that bis Honor is determined to keep them to- gether until they agree. The stock market opened buo: ant yesterdiy, and pricca advanced over the qu itat‘ons of the previous day. Har- Jem Railroad shares, however, took a sudden fall of 26 per cent, avd sold down to 260, Gold was active at a premium of 91 per cent. Government securities were firm at advanced quotations, There was no change in the money market. There was no material change in the commercial status Yesterday as compared with the previous day. The rise 1a goid had the effect to cause holders of goods to mani- fest rather more firmness; but this did not result in any material advance in many commodities, though some were rather higher, Imported merchandise was generally quiet. Petroleum was in good demand, and prices were about Ic, higher. Cotton was steady. On ’Change the breadstuffs market was stronger, and rather better prices were paid for wheat, corn and flour, under the upward turn in gold and light receipts, with an active business in wheat and flour, ip part for future delivery. In the pro visioug market the most notable feature was the rise of $1 per bbl. on mess pork, with large transactions, in part for future delivery. Beef, lard, whiskey, tallow, &c., were without decided change. Freiguts were depressed, coe pted. Richmond—Hot Work—A General En- @"gemont and Another Union Vic- tory. Victory! Victory! The despatches which we publish this morning of the military opera- tions of the last two or three days around Richmond show that General Grant is steadily pushing the enemy back upon his fortifications, while Lee is,desperately but vainly fighting to keep outside. The triple lines of earthworks, built for the security of Richmond, will do well enough if General Grant can be kept at a re- spectful distance away from them; but otber- wise neither the city nor the army defending it can rely upon those earthworks for a single day. Hence the manifest disiaclination of General Lee to fall behind the shelter of those defences. He remembers Vicksburg, and is afraid of them; but Grant is behind him, and he has no other alternative. Sheridan’s brilliant cavalry fight of Tuesday opened the way for the spirited general en- gagement of Wednesday afternoon. The re- sult was a great, substantial success to us, and a positive and damaging defeat to the enemy. General Grant has broken the crust of the Richmond fortifications. All the des- perate night assaults of the enemy, right and left, to dislodge him from his position were signally repulsed. The ground gained he holds, and every movement results in another solid advance. At this rate Richmond, a very few days hence, will be at the mercy of the siege guos of General Grant, and utterly un- tenable, not only to Jeff. Davis, his Oabinet and Congress, but to Lee and his army. Ii is evident, with every step he makes, that Gen. Grant understands his superior strength and knows how to use it; that he is not to be caught by rebel strategy or tactics, however cunningly devised; nor is he to be defeated by that desperate rebel system of fighting which drives whole masses of men recklessly into the jaws of destruction. The great rebel army of Virginia, driven into, is now besieged in Rich- mond, and its expulsion, destruction or cap- ture will soon follow, as surely as the setting follows the rising of the sun, A Financtat Operation.—The Washington Republican informs us that somebody entered Secretary Chase’s bedchamber the other night and took the Secretary’s gold watch and a pocketbook containing forty dollars. Then the illegitimate financial operator retired, without having awakened the Secretary. This little incident confirms our previous impressions upon one or two points, In the first place, the Secretary can be caught napping. Our Wall street operators often catch him in that way. Then he sleeps very soundly. That shows that he takes the world easy—too easy for the head of the financial department of the government at a crisis like this, when gold is at 190. Then the Secretary does not care much for bis own money; for be only carries forty dollars in greenbacks about with him. The light fin- gered operator made a great deal more gold than greenbacke by his little transaction, whictp might, in fact, be called @ speculation in gold. And, after all, is the gold operator who robbed Secretary Chase much worse, morally, than the gold onerstors who rob tha neanlot (NEW “YORE ‘HERALD! FRIDAY. JONH 3° 3964. Conscription of Volunteering. What isto be done towards filling up the ranke of the army? That the fight is to go on, that losses must continue to be large while the contest lasts, there is no qnestion, A draft is about to be ordered for two or three hundred thousand men, to take place, it is said, on or about the Ist of July. This is a pru- ential measure, and shows a determination to keep the ball that Grant has set in motion rolling on, until, as with the wheels of Jugger- naut, the rebellion is entirely crushed. But it is well to inquire if there is not a better anda wiser mode of securing men in this city than by @ generdl conscription? We know the many evils attending it, and the genera! un- popularity of this process. If it can be avoided and the men obtained, it is the part of wisdom and good policy to adopt some other measure. We have at hand a sysiem organized and in full foroe up to the Ist of the present month, which bas worked to admiration—we mean the Supervisors’ Volunteering and County Bounty Paying Committee, This body has performed its duty faithfully and well to the city and the county. Our quota on every call made by the government has been promptly filled, with as little exc'tement, noise or disturbance as the pews of a church are filled on a Sunday morn- ing. Over twenty-two thousand men has this committee supplied the army with, at a cost per man considerably under three hundred dollars. Does any one suppose that the same number of men could have been drawn, in the same space of time, from this city, through the harsh tenure of a conscription, without disturb- ance or commotion? But, in reference to the impending call, the Board of Supervisors, it appears, hesitate to act for fear that any addition to the already large amount appropriated for the purpose of secur- ing volunteers would not meet with public ap- proval. In this we think they are greatly mistaken. No public body has ever received more general commendation for its agtion than the Board of Supervisors has in this, and the successfu', patriotic course of its committee on volunteering has been up to the very latest moment the theme of universal applause. The members of the Board greatly mistake public opinion if they suppose for one moment that our capitalists would not freely and gladly take all the bonds that might be issued for this holy and just cause. It is not for the benefit of the present generation alone that this indebted- ness is to be incurred, but for all future ones, who will reap the glory and reward even to a greater extent than ourselves of a successful termination of this contest. Hence it is that, while capitalists might mot be willing to advance their money @ithout a Nen upon city property as security, they would unhesitatingly take the bonds of the city and advance all the money requisite to secure the object desired. In the early move- ments of the committee there was, it Is true, some difficulty iu obtaining funds for this pur- pose, and it was only through personal solici- tation of individual members of the Board, and of Mr. Blunt and the Comptroller, upon the moneyed institutions of the city, as well as to individual capitalists, that the first funds were obtained. But there were two very good reasons for this hesitancy. First, the project of raising volunteers through this mode was an untried experiment—its effect, and even its purpose, were scarcely known; secondly, the proposed loan of the Board of Supervisors had no sanction in law, because it was yet unacted on by the Legislature. But the money was ob- tained even with these drawbacks, and as the action of the committee became better known, its triumphant success evident, and the bonds became legalized by the Legislature, they were taken with an avidity rarely witnessed in cor- poration securities; and so they would be again. They would be taken because the object is a good one, and because they are among the very best securities in the market. We trust, then, not only as a matter of policy, but of economy, the Supervisors’ Committee will be allowed to go on in its good work—put far off the days of a draft, and fill our quota with volunteers. Public opinion demands and the public welfare requires it. Could the ques- tion be brought to a test vote in this city the people would be found to be more unani- mously in favor of this mode than they were in reference to the question of the right of the soldiers to vote. We think that those who favor a draft, if there are any, are governed by motives far from patriotic, and by no means study the beat interests of the city. A Way to Avomw a Recurrence or Tas AR- aveties Dirricutty.—Opinions and authorities differ in regard to the legal right of the gov- ernment to surrender alleged criminals upon demand of foreign Powers unless special treaty stipulations provide for thesame. Some jurists ‘entertain the opinion that a sovereign Power bas such legal right under international law, even in the absence of an extradition treaty, while this opinion is combatted upon very high grounds and upon very able and competent authority. It is unfortunate that these incon- gruous views should have been so long suffered to exist among nations; for, in consequence of the want of any established international rule on the subject, many irritating cases have arisen, even to the danger of involving hostilities be- tween otherwise friendly Powers. Besides this peril there is also the danger, in our own country, of creating a breach or misunder- standing between the State and federal authori- ties—an instance of which is fresh in the public mind in the case of the arrest and clandestine extradition to Cuba of Senor Arguelles, who was accused of complicity in a very grave and criminal offence by the Governor General of the island, and is ere this probably undergo- ing punishment for bis crime. There are many good meaning citizens who are indignant at the agency of the government in this summary proceeding, and have denounced the act as a flagrant outrage upon the liberties of the people, and @ wanton invasion of the rights of asylum which it is our boast we are ready to afford to the oppressed of all nations. Every citizen is rightfully jealous 6f his fieedom and indig- nant at any unlawful encroachment upon his personal liberty by the federal or any other authority. But in a case like that of Arguelles, where the accused Is charged with being an accomplice in a crime stigmatized by nearly every civilized nation as piracy—an iniquity abhorred by all Christian nations, and to sup- press which all such nations are by interna- tional law religiously bound—in such case we do not think the government oan be held morally responsible for, or accused of, a wanton invasion either of the rights of the citi- zen or of the immunities of asylum if the criminal be surrendered upon demand. But in ordar that such disturbing questions ebell not arise in the future, and to allay, in a measure, the excitement already creatod, we suggest thst Congress pass a general law on the subject, providing that the government shail have power to surrender criminals, other than those of a political character, upon the request of the legal authorities of any recognized govern- ment with whom we have no extradition treaty covering the case, This, we believe, would be a wise, and in our present situation avery prudent, proceeding; for the less conflicts we have between the federal and State authori- ties, with their accompanying violence of partisan prejudices, the better we will be able to suppress the rebellion, and at the same time to present a front to foreign Powers which they will be likely to respect. Let Congress adopt the stiggestion, and pass the required law 48 soon as possible, Tux Gaear Grant Meerinc at Unton Sqvare.—We think 1t not improbable that General Grant will give us a victory to cele- brate to-morrow at the same time with our celebration in his honor at Union equare. But, even if the news of victory does not come so quickly as that, it cannot fail to reach us soon after the news of the great meeting reaches him. General Grant ‘always takes pains to more than deservé any compliments that may be paid him. Men cannot adequately appreciate contempo- rary history, or Grant’s extraordinary genius would cause the world to regard him as asecond Napoleon or a second Wellington. Four years ago he was a woodchopper anda tanner. Now he has saved his country. When the war broke out there was not room for hini in the Illinois militia. Now he commandsall our armies. Less than four years ago he was accidentally selected to lead a regiment of raw recruits, and performed his wonderful feat of transporting them. on foot. Since then he has developed into the most consummate general of the age, a giant in fight, unrivalled in tactics, and a better stra- tezist than any of the old masters of the art. This record reads like a romance, and yet it falls far short of the truth. In any other age and almost any other country than this such a man as Grant would be worshipped as a demi- god. Even our people, not unaccustomed to great men, and slow to pin their faith to any one leader, regard General Grant with an ad- miration and respect inspired by no other American soldier except Washington and Jack- son. We anticipate, therefore, that the meet- ing to-morrow to express the nation’s gratitade to Grant will be, in numbers, unanimity and enthusiasm, without a parallel. Surely the ex- pression of our gratitude ought to be worthy of the unparalleled services he has rendered us. Tus Sreget Cieanine Question.—The Legis- lature at its last session abolished the old system of cleaning the streets of the city, and passed a law providing that the work should be given out by contrast to the lowest bidder. This was a plan to get the business out of the hands of the City Inspector, Mr. Boole, who was faithfully executing the work, with an eye to the cleanly condition of the thoroughfares. It was stated that Mr. Astor once offered to agsume the work for one hundred thousand dollars; but, although we believe the proposition to have been made in good faith, nothing came of it, and it has sunk into oblivion. Under the law of the Legislature advertisements were published so- liciting proposals for the work, and the bids were opened yesterday by the Mayor. The public will be astonished to learn that but two bids were put in: one by Patrick Doyle, of Brooklyn, for $575,000, and one by Daniel D. Badger, of this city, for $500,000. Both bids were ruled out, and for the same reasons—viz: informality and excess of price. It will thus be seen that, after all the wjrepulling and underhand scheming against Mr. Boole, that gentleman has proved that he is not only a most capable official, but that his system of street cleaning is as good, and certainly as economical for the city, as any other Lona fide plap yet submitted.

DEBUT OF MISS LOTTA. This young lady, whose friends claim thatshe created ‘ked sensation in San Francisco, made her debut at "# Saloon Inst évening to a very small but very onthu- siastic audience. Throughout the performance there was @ most cxtraordinary medley. The shouts and stamps of the young gentlemen preseut were vehement, their loud Praise of the artiste uncoasing, and their condemnation of the lukewarmness of the New York public very frequent and severe. The young gentlemen in question informed those near thom that in ‘ Frisco,” from whence they came, Miss Lotta could ‘' cram the biggest theatre out,” and that she would yet shine in this city. We sincerely hope so,as the young lady—the “ fairy artiste,’ as she is termed in her bills—possesses undoubtedly a very extended and most versatile talent. She plays the banjo with great spirit, and dances a breakdown in such style as to cause the star of the champion in that line to pale, Added to which Miss Loua ‘possesses a quick and ready repartee, which she launches at her audience with infinite grace. She is very petile, but has @ good figure, and, beyond all we ever saw, pos- sesses any amount of aplomb—a graceful Fronch word for the more vulgar English word, brass, In the comedy Jenny Lind (Miss Lotta) appeared to less advantage than in her breakdowns, banjo playing and songs; st was very successful, and the young itlemen above referred to proved enthusiastic to the fat lauding with might and main, asserting that a show which was #0 popular in “ Frisco” must in the end obtain favor im Now York.

Lloyd, of the One Hun- dred and Nineteenth New York Volunteers, met with bis death during the charge upon the enomy’s works near Reesacca, Georgia, Previous to his joining the army the deceased had been a map publisher in this city, and on August 16, 1862, was commissioned captain of Company F of the before-named regiment. He rose steadily until be became second in command, and on the day he was killed he was acting colonel.

I stood right along side of bim as he fell. We had charged over three bills, driving the epvemy before us, and then came the hardest charge of all, uy’ a bill, steepor than ail the rest, while on the top elood afort, mounted with four cannon, .

Several times we have heard the.sound of heavy artillery, In every instance the rebels found u@ on the alert, and their artillery was quickly silenced. Tho heaviest attack was mado during the aitornoon, and the response of tho Union guns convinced them that our Position was impregnable, at whioh fam writiog they Lave not renewed the attack. No casualties have been reported, RECONNOISSANCE BY GENERAL BUTLER, About ton o'clock this morning Major General Butler, attended by Colonel Shaffor and several other officers of his staff, loft these headquarters for the purpose of recom noitering the enemy's positi:n. The precise direction he took it is unnecessary to mention, and the object he had in view will be understood by the rebels about the time ‘this despatch reaches you. I shall thep explain the may tor for the benefit of your readers. At present it is suf ficient to state that the General was abedat about six hours, during which time a number of shellg were throwa into the rebel lines, and arrangements porfe for re eating the dose in larger quantities at an early day. SRORSH LADIES, In my last despatch I mentioned the fact that the farmers’ wives in this vicinity were very cu rious aboug army movements. Several important movements have recently been made here, of which these ladies were very anxious to know the why and wherefore. The farmhouses had become favorite lounging places foe many of our officers and mep, The ladies were alwaya delighted to see them, but distressingly ignorant about military affairs,‘and desired to be enlightened thereom, Our men fell into the trap, told everything they knew, and all they surmised or guessed at. Strange to relate, Beauregard was put in possession of the facts a few hours afterwar4s and commenced shelling our works, This petticoat spy system was put a stop to to day, General Butler issaed an order that no one was to be ab lowed to visit the farmbouses without a special permit from himself, Tho consequences are that the would be lady killors of our army are dingusted, the military studies of the ladies brought to an untimely end, and Beauregard deprived of information through that source. T should not be at all surprised if the General were to re- commend a change of air for the ladies, RRORL DESERTERS. Several rebel deserters have come within our lines to» day, They had been sent out on picket duty and tool the opportunity to desert. aon wore all comfortabl clothed in butternut suits, and appeared to be stout, hardy men, or, as one of our soldiors expressed it, ‘as tongh as pine knots.’’ From some of them—bolonging to Scuth Carolina and other regiments—I learned that Beauregard is still in command on our front, with about twelve thousand men, They =. that he has received orders from [ee to keep the Richmond and Petersd Railroad open at all hazards. The road is now in Tuoping order, and trains are constantly passing betweea the two cities, Before they left it was yg coy their limes that Joe Joboston defeated Sher man with 4 loss of six thousand men. Ie was also said to be fighting & great battle today; but no results had been reported It was not Beauregard’s fotention to attack our position, experience having taught him that our flanks were too thoroughly protected. One of the men I talked with sald be was a Canadian, and had been forced into the rebel service about eighteen months since. During all that time he had been seeking -an opportunity to escape. Their rations for some con- siderable time back had consisted of ono third of @ pound of bacon and thirteen ounces of corn moal per day. None of the men had any superfluous flesh on their bones.

The same sounds, Le muck fainter, had been beard at jotervals during the whole day. ‘At about six o'clock, howevor, the firing was beard with groat distinctuess. The reports were heavy and rapid. From that bour until sunset the sounds appeared to approach gradually nearer, and were heard with greater distinctness, The totegraph peneries erytbing quiet” along our lines. But the rapid and heavy canvouading told us that a great Dattle was in progress, The sounds came from the northeast; and the question asked was,‘*Whose quae could they be”’ Tho answer was, “General Graot’s.’* Daylight Is anxiously looked for.
