It must have been a very hard fight indeed that could get that very temperate writer up to “great fury.” With the repulse of this assault the two forces occupy the same relative positions that they occupied before it was made, except that the rebel left was withdrawn from Burnside’s front on Friday night. What this withdrawal may lead to it is difficult to say; but it is more than likely that it was made necessary by some extension of Grani’s line towards the Chick- abominy. The commander of the rebel army cannot afford to be flanked again, and espe cially in bis present position. We have news once more of Gghting on the James river. On Thursday, at five A.M. an attempt was made to pierce General Butler's line by a sudden and impetuous advance, which, though temporarily successful, was re- ! pulsed, after a gallant struggle. The late news from General Sherman’s army | only tellsof the arrangements in progress for the further prosecution of his brilliant opera- tions against Jobnston. General Finnegan has joined Jobnston’s army with the the troops | lately in Florida, We give a full account, from our correspondent, of the battle of New Hope chureh, near Dallas—a very severe defeat to the enemy, but which, of course, was claimed by the rebel papers as a great victory. We ought hardly to be surprised at the per- sistency with which the Southern papers now claim that every battle results in a Southern victory. Besides the fact that a great deal of gaseous expression is natural to atl Southern men, and especially to Southern journalists, there isa reason for this In the present des- perate circumstances of the confederacy. | Southern papers dare not chronicle defeat, | They dare not tell the Southern people that a | Southern army bas been beaten. Months ago, when the chances of the confederacy were | better, they dared to tell unpleasant truths as | plainly as Northern journals do, and when their armies were beaten they said so. But it is different now; and the Southern people only believe in the confederacy in the hour of vic- tory. Hence this insane and continual assur- | ance that the Southern armies are victorjous, | in the very face of their disastrous retreats. Within the past month the Southern papers have announced victory continually id all quarters. “Lee,” says the Mobile Meyister, “is giving Grant the most complete whipping that any general has received during the war;” and in the same issue it “confidently expects glorious news from Jobnston’s army.” Yet at j the very hour when this was written Johnston | had already retreated forty miles, and was still | in retreat, and Lee was making his third des- | perate attempt to get between Grant and Rich- e | mond.

By the arrival at this port yesterday of the steamship Oveac Queen, from Aspiawall on the 27th ult,, we have Rapidan on the 4th of May, with the city of Richmond for his objective point. He found himself in presence of General Lee with the disciplined army of Northern Virginia, formed his line. of battle just south of the river NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1864. general action will break that crippled army to fragments. How is Grant, now at the White House, any better situated than he would have been if he bad gone to the same point by transports with- out-a battle? He is better situated in virtue of the harm that his advance has done to Lee's army by compelling it to fight so many despe- rate battles, many of them on ground of his choosing; and if he had gone to the While House by transports the very men who now ask this question would bave set the country in g fever by shouting over the exposed coa- dition in which ‘such a movement would have left Washington. But, at the same time, with these great victo- ties in Virginia we have had others quite a3 great Glsewhere. Sherman’s victories in Geor- gia are somewhat dwarfed in popular es mation by the nearness of the struggle in Virginia; but alone they would have beon sufficient to decide the fate of the rebellion. He also. initiated his campaign by flanking Johnston out of a tremendously strong position at Buzzard’s Roost and Dalton, continued it by flanking him out of Ressacca, and has finally driven him, by manoeuvres and by battle, to the city of Atlanta—one hundred miies, A correspondent of the Mobile Register with Jobnston’s army writes that Johnston's present campaign “will be the most splendid one of the war before it is ended.” He claims many victories for that officer, and gives this resume of opera- tlons:—“We left Dalton. We fought at Res- sacca. We skirmished from there to Allatoona. We will fall back to the Chattahoochee. We are amoving and movable body—hunting for a fight, and resolved not to make it uatil we are ready and have the selection of the ground Then we will fight, and valiantly; thea we will fight, and to some purpose. Thus far we have done our work well. We have abandoned | miles of territory, which were useless for mili- tary purposes; but we have killed ten thousand of the enemy at Ressacea, losing but half that number, and we have gained a line which is capable of defence.” Tt thus appears that Johnston lost five thou- sand men at Ressacca, and that, too, in the at- temp# to hold territory “useless for military purposes.” Johnston used to know better than that. But ite seems that he did finally gain aline capable of defence, and now he is sixty miles south of that line, and his army fs broken and dispirited by defeat. In fine, our thirty days’ operations have been brilliant triumphs everywhere, and we have no disasters with our great armies. We have had disasters only in the columns employed. to divert the enemy on the James and Shenandoah rivers; and the fact that we have had disasters at those points proves that the diversions were good ones. It proves that the enemy employed at those points very considerable bodies of troops, and those troops were therefore kept away from the more important points at which Grant and Sherman were striking at the life of the rebellion. g The Popular Demonstration for General Grant. The mass meeting at Union square on Satur- day last, to give expression to the nation’s gratitude to Grant, was a great success. Over twenty-five thousand persons were present, and the unanimity and enthusiasm of this vast gathering were remarkable.. At every mention of Grant’s name the people cheered most heartily, and all of our other generals, in- cluding McClellan, received similar tokens of and defeated on the 5b and 6th of May! recognition and approbation.

Such an operation inspirits magnificently the army that has the initiative, and it correspondingly demoralizes the other. During these moncuvres battles bave been fought in the Wilderness, at Spottsylvania Court House, on the North Anna river and at Coal Harbor. When neither army Is destroyed by a battle the victory is usually claimed by aro from St. Louis that the guerillas are very both ; and in this series of fights our own army and the rebel each claim to have beaten the In such a case it is ne- cessary to find what is the object of a battle, and to see whether or not that is gained, in order to determine who is the victor. Grant's object has been all the time, in marches and in battle, important intelligence from the Pacific coast of South } to take his army to Richmond; and that object Amorica, 10 reference to the effect of the recent procesd- ings of the Spanish Admiral and Commissioner in co mencing war op Peru, by the seizore of the Chincha Islands and the attempt to seize the le of her navy in the port of Callao, The indignation and excitement were very great tbroughout all the republics of South America, and mass meetings hed been held, at which the people, in enthusiaetic terms, declared their intention to aid the Peruvians with boch men and money in resenting tbe insult and outrage of the Spanish off In Peru itself vunteering for the military service was occupy ing the attention of the people to the exclusion of almost every other matter. Men were rushing into the ranks with great eothusiasm, and it was expected thet toa sbort time the Peruvian army would number one hun- Gred thousand men. The government of Chile had voted five millions of dollars and offered the services of its na- val vessels im aid of the government of Pera. Senor Mazarredo, the late Spauish Commissioner to Pera, and who was associated with the Spanish admiral (Piuzon) in the vomminsion of the outrages, had resigned his position Qnd left or Spain. Daring his stay in Panama, en route home, a mob ted and marched to the residence of tho French Consul, where it was supposed he owas stay ing, N» finding Senor Mazarredo there, they olfered In- sults to the Cousul, and were guilty of disorderly acts, which will no doubt lend to a call for reparation from the Emperor Napoleon upon the governmeit of Colombia, Mazarredo was obliged to leave Pauam. secretly, and was fullowed to Aspinwall by the sympathizers with Poru, but escape’ from bis pursuers by taking reuge on Donrd the English mai! steamer for St. Thomas On the last trip out from this port to Aspinwall of the Steamship Ocean Queeu some of the men in the detach mont of United States seamen on board of her mativie!, And two of them were joal by Commander Ammen, nd some of the otbers were put ia irons, These seamen were men who had been transferred from the army to the navy, and they were on their way to the vossels of ‘Our pAvAl squadron in the Pacific The mails of the Nova Scotian reached this city from Quebec Inst evening.

If the aid recorda ewok lOve Unie he has pursued, and is pursuing, with the steadiness of fate. Lee’s object in every battle has been to prevent that advance, by destroy- ing or so crippling Grant’s army that he could not continue it. It is only necessary to state thus simply what was the object of each to show how decisively General Lee has been de- feated in every battle. Grant began his march at sixty miles from Richmond, and he is now within tea of It; and, marching in a storm of batile all the way, he is apparently as fresh now as he was at the start. Moreover, in these great thirty days he has pretty effectually taken the power of resistance out of Lee’s army. It is now, perhaps, the most cruelly crippled organization that ever faced an enemy. Lee, the great head and front of that army, is gone—compelled to leave it—sick in Richmond—used up with the des- perate labors and responsibilities of such a struggle; Longstreet, next in power to Lee, is gone; A. P. Hill, the last of the three original corps commanders—Jackson, Longstreet and Hill—is also sick in Richmond; and Stuart, the soul of the rebel cavalry, is mingled with the sacred soil. Thus there is not left in the rebel army of Northern Virginia a single ono of the great leaders under which it won fts fame. It has fallen entirely to the division com- manders, and as a great organization is broken up. Losses from the ranks by battles and marches have also terribly crippled it. At present the Southern papers insist very much upon the fact that Grant has only gotten where McClellan was two years ago. He uses the same point as a base, and that only proves that it was a good base. Let them pursue this attempted parallel and see what it will come to. In 1862 the administration, fighting with the rebels and against General MoOlellan, held that officer quiet on the Penin- sula through all the period in which Richmond was comparatively defenceless, and by holding him still they gave Davis a chance to concen- trate two a thousand men in Virginia. No one will hold Grant still in that way; and Tbe absence of the | if Davis, trying to carry the parallel of this | campaign with that of 1862, attempts to drive Grant from his present base and down to Harrl- son’s Landing he must do it now, and with his presgnt army, [ot bim tex it, Qpe qxinnslve sympatby and support to our brave soldiers in the field, and we k iow how they will appre- ciate and respond to the message. The scene at Union square, when the meeting was at its height, was splendidly impressive. The square was crowded with people. The surroudding buildings were decked with flags and bril- liantly iHuminated. The fading sunbeams formed our banner in the twilight sky. Above the statue of Washington shone a single star, as if night lent her brightest gem to crown the Father of his Country. The platforms were gay with Star Spangled Banners, bold portraits. of our generals, lanterns, streamers and trans- parencies. Large Drummond lights lit up.the immense sea of faces sround the stands. Rockets and Roman candles flashed and glittered. Fireworks sparkled and b!azed- The natienal mefodies were played by the band and sung bf glee clubs, the thou- sands of spectators joining in the choruses: Hurrahs, cheers, shouts and the clapping of hands endorsed the patriotic sentiments of the orators. Everywhere the best of order prevailed. The constant changes in the crowd gave a kaleidoscopic variety to the scene, Taken as a whole, we remember no more mag- nificent meeting. It can be compared only to fhe great gathering in the same square in 1861, which celebrated the first uprising of the North against this infamous rebellion. Representatives of all shades of political opinion might be found upon the platforms and among the audience. Speeches were made by Judge Daly, ex-Mayor Opdyke, Rev. W. H, Boole, Senator Pomeroy, Chauncey Shaffer, Mr. Magnus Gross, General Walbridge, James T. Brady, General Thomas Francis Meagher, Congressman Rollins, Honorable D. P. Tyler, General Spinola and Colonel Jackson. Letters were read from President Lincoln, Secretary Obase, Governor (Curtin, General Dix, Honora- ble Roscoe Conkling and Honorable D. S. Dick- inson. However these gentlemen may bave differed upon minor points, they were all unani- mous for Grant. The same peculiarity was noticeable among the multitude of listeners and lookers on. Some disapproved of the antl- slavery utterances of a few of the speakers; others sneered at the democratie orators; some criticised President Lincoln’s letter; otbers shouted themselves hoarse over Chase's epistle; the mojority applauded and the mirfority hissed when General McClellan was mentioned; but there seemed to be but one feeling in regard to Grant, and that was gratitude for his sorvices and admiration for his genius. A vigorous prose- cution of the war for the Union, with such a man as Grant to prosecute it sugcesstally, was the evident desire of the meeting, and was the burden of ali the orations, resolutions and hurrahs. & We have not the slightest doubt that tho twenty-live thousand citizens, of all chisses, parties and conditions, who assembled at Union equare on Saturday, were fair representatives of the loyal millions of the North. As such their opinions are entitled to respect, and avy political convention will commit suicide by failing to take them into considération. We commend our very full and acourate report of this meeting, published in our yesterday's leaug, $2 tha aljontion pf qxere dolecate to the Baltimore Convention. These delogat*s will learn from it that President Linooln, whom they are expected to renominate, has no such hold upon the popular mind and heart as General Grant. They will see that the same overwhelming enthusiasm which carried Jack- son, Harrison and Taylor into the Presidency, in spite of political plots, combinations and intrigues, may be relied upon to secure the tri- umphant election of the hero of Vicksburg, Chattanooga and the present campaign in Vir- ginia. If they shall persist in renominating dis- honest Old Abe, despite this explicit and em- phatic warning, the opposition to him, which is now almost universal, will concentrate upon Grant; or, if he be induced to decline, upon McClellan; and sweep the shoddy republican faction out of existence. The American peoplo have endured many outrages without resist- ance, although not without remonstrance; ‘but it is a little too much to ask them to submit to the Gictates of a few officeholders, and bow their necks for another Presidential term to the yoke that has galled them so cruelly for the past four years. 5 BUTLER.

The recent attacks on our lines have, for the number of men engaged, been dasperate encounters, and the Josses on both sides, so far as know., prove with what determination tbe rebels attempt to break through the lines and drive us from our position. During the last week Beauregard bas apparently made up his mind to oust us if possible, Tbe, departure of General Smith's corps and two of Ganeral Gillmore’s divieidns soon be- came known among the rebels, and they very vaturally inferred that wo had not men enough to hold the fortifl- cations in our front, But, alas for the rebs, they did uot etop toconsider that the frat division of the Tenth corps; Brigadier Alfred H. Terry commanding, was bold- ing the right of our lines, and that the centre and left were equally weil guarded, aithough not so easily assaila- blo. With their accustomed sagacity, they choso the most exposed-and open part of our position as the point to be attacked. Tho time was also well chosen—when night shrouded everything a impenetrable gloom, THR ATTACK. Yeauregard opened with his heavy arti'lery, ana after. wards pushed bis troops forward to ourjines. General Terry’s troops met the éhemy, And, after a protracted straggle, sent him back with thinned ranks and a higher opinion of what the vetcrans {rom Morris Island can achieve. The first attack mado by the rebels was ex. clusively au artillery duel. Beauregard’s guns opened suddenly on our position, and in about tbe centre of our lines. Our batterie: replied with equal vig.r, and after about one hour's fring beth sides suspended operations, and quiet Was resiored almost as suddenly as it had been broken. The energy aud vigor displayed by our Artillerists on that occasion undoubtedly deterred the rebels from massing their troops and attempting to storm our works, They tad but) few tour b fore heard that our army had been we kened by th» withdrawal of ‘Smith's aud Gillmore’s troo,s, and must have been con- siderably astonished to Ond our front eo strongly guarded. THU tPAY'S F.cnr, ‘The last and grandest effort of the rebels to force our lines was made about three o’cleck on the morning of the 2d instant. At that time three regimenis of General Terry's division were on picket duty, and occupied the rifle pits on our right front. Tbe Eicveuth Maiue wae on the extreme right, the Thirty-vinth J)linois in the centre, and the Seventh Connecticut ow the loft, Shortly after three o’clock on the paorning of the 2d instant a heavy artillery fire was opeved by the rebels on the right of the Seventh Connecti At this point of our front the pickets were stationed on a line which inclined considerably outwards towards the rebel jine, Under cover of their artillery the rebels massed a large number of men, who made a suddep rush on our thin line of pickets, They took our line in reverse, and broke it in two places, formed in the fear of our mon, and took a large numberof them pri sonera. The Third Now Hampshire regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Plimpton commanding, subsequently drove the rebels back and re-established our picket line, Twenty- five prisoners were taken from the rebels. On the ex treme left of the live the pickets were attacked by the ‘Twenty-second regiment of South Carolina troops, under command of Colonel Dantzter. They drove in our men in front of the work known as Battery No. 6. The rebels ‘were attacked ond driven back by ove company of the First Connecticnt ond some dismounted cavairy from General Kautz’s command, Our heavy artillery also aided in driving the rebels back, The line was here soon ro-establi-hed The extreme right of our line was also attacked bya considerable furce of rebels. They did not manage to break through at thia point; but the skirmishing was continued during the whole day, and our line swung gradually back for a short distance. The line was after- wards established on ground which was previously selected as the best to be occupied by our pickets, It would have been occupied before for that purpose but from @ disioclination to yield avy ground when not at- tacked. During the whole time there was very heavy firing between our own and the rebel batteries. But very little damage, however, was done by the artillery, and the rebel batteries were silenced by our own. A RENEL COLONEL KILLED, When the Twenty-second South Carolina rebel regiment Attacked our loft its commander, Colonel Dantater, was killed, and @ Yeutenant and twenty-three privates taken prisoners, Colovel Dantzter’s body was carried off the field by our men. Today it was sent within the rebel nes, under a flag of truce. The prisoners wore brought down to General Butiér’s headquarters, and afterwards forwarded to Fortress Monroe, THB UNION AND rene LoBeRe, Daring these engaments our losses, both of ofcers and mon, hae been very heavy, and, from the determination with which the rebels faced our fire, we are led to the conclusion that their lists of killed and wounded are much heavier thau ours. Woe took between bixty and seventy prieondrs. b TERRY'S DIVISION, General Terry’s division is the Firat of the Tenth army corps, aod since landing at Be mada Handred bas done much bard fighting. Gonoral Terry's lomves have been vory heavy, in consequence of the arduous dutios signed to bis veteran regiments, They are all sunbrowred, hardy 1ook!ng men, and, although oncamped within range of tho rebel shells, h:ve reared for thomselves scores of cosey little huts, and appear to enjoy life with considera. vie relish, Lieutenant Colonel Plimpton, of the Third New Hampehire Volunteers, is very highly Spokes of for the manner in which ho led bis rogiment against the rebel troops who succeeded breaking through the picket line of the Soventh Conneticut.

She brings (ho fol- lowing cargo for New York:—78 bags of coc-a, 96 ccroons of bark and 29 bales of goatskins. The news by tho Taloa is of the most important and ia teresting nature, not only in regard to the war between ‘Spain ana Peru, but in respect to the unanimous voloe of the people of the othor South American republics to aid tnéir sister rer by all means in their power, in the present time of her trouble, Spain has, 1a this ingtauce, Spat Ror foot in it.” She bas aroused a tempost that nothing but a withdrawal (rom the yposition she bas as- sumed with Peru, and a fu!l and ample apology for ber wilful and unprovoked outrage, will allay.

When the news was received in Chile of the outrageous conduct of the Spanish admiral in seizing the Chincha Islands, acd capturing a Peruvian government vessel, the most intense excitement prevailed. Monster mass moet- ings wore Leld instantly in Valparaiso, and the most ear- nest sympathy expressed by all for Peru, and the government was called upon to act at once, and make the outrage upon Peru ag an insult to Chile. Monoy was tendered most freely ; some wealthy men placed the! At the disposal of the government, and acti mi res were taken to assist tho authorities tly placing the country on a war footing, for she purpose once, and in the most eflective man- ner, taking the field against Spain This excitement ex- tended to every town aud city as the news reached them.
