W, COKNER OF FULTON AND NASSAU BTS, <== = New York, Thursday, June 30, 1864. = = THE SITUATION. ‘The regular bombardment of Petersburg is now in full Operation, cur shells are constantly dropping into all parts of the city with precision, and doubtless, with fatal consequeno’s. The left wing of Grant's army olds the ‘Weldon end Petersbury Rajiresd, The connections with Lynouburg, on the Danville road ere cut of by General ‘Wilson, thus stopping supplies for Richmond in that di. Wection, The siege appears to be conducted after the ‘Vicksburg fasion, and will, no doubt, eventuato in the samo result. ‘The whole story of the attack by General Hill's corps on the Second corps of our army on Wednesday last is very minutely told by our correspondent to-day It does not yet very distinctly appear why the Sixth corps did not form a junction on General Barlow's division, the left of the Second corps, and thus keep the line intact, Suffloe it to say, however that @ fatal gap was eft, as General Birney’s corps ad- ‘vanced, through which the rebels pounced op its flank. We give a fine military map of the positions Of the armies at this juncture, accompanying our corres- Ponden#s description, which will enable the reader to comprehend the movement accurately. Goveral Hancock has sufficiently recovered from his wound, avd has again Teturned to bis favorite corps, temporarily commanded by General Birney, Late despatches from Gen. Hunter, at Meadow Blaff, Teport the particulars of bis late advance towards Lynob- burg. Gen. Duffle cut the Charlottesville and Lynch. ‘Durg Railroad at Amberst, and Hunter's forces proceeded Dy way of Liberty, where they tore up the tracks and Durved a bridge. Early’s troops having arrived from Richmond when our forces were within five milee of Lynchburg, and proviug too strong for us, we withdrew on Saturday, Gen. Hunter's loss in the entire move- ment is proably ix hundred killed, wounded and missing. ‘We have one bundred prisoners, seven camnon and six Qundred horses captured, Accounts from the Medical Director of Sherman’s army show that our loss was much jess than at first reported. It will probably not exceeed one thousand five hundred fn all, ‘We have news from New Orleans to the 2lst.

CONGRESS. ‘The Tariff bill passed both houses of Congross yester- day. In the House Mr. Morrili said the bill would largely increase the revenue by additional taxation on fea, iron, spirits, wines, crockery ware, spices, &c. In the Internal Rev enue bill new sources of taxation have been sought out, inciuaing a tax on banks, while the taxes generally have been largely increased. He antici pated {rom these measures a million of dollars aday to Fetire the greenbacks to that extent, and establish our ¢redit on @ firm foundation, Mr. Brooks said as rumors wore afloat be wished to axe —Mvuor w was likely the Commivice on Ways and Means would report an addi- tional Tax Dill. Mr. Morrill replied that 80 far as he ‘Knew he did not think they would. Mr. Stevens said a request bad come from the proper quarter for the passage Of a bill to raise an additional eighty-five millions, Mr. ‘Brooks inquired what were to be the sources of taxation, and whether real estate was to be included? Mr. Stevens replied that he had but recently received the document, end bad not looked at it carefully. In the Senate the resolution directing inquiry as to the progress made in the construction of gunboats, contracted for 1862, was agreed to. A resolution in tayor of print. Ing the report of the military commission appointed to fnvestigate the alleged cotton speculation in the South- west, was discussed and indefinitely postponed. The House bill granting a pension to the wife of Ensign Kel- ogg,’ who was executed at Richmond as a spy, was passed ‘The Committee on Foreign Affuirs reported that they were unable to dertermine whether the papers reiating to the French occupation of Mexico were of sufficient importance t> justify their pubjication, whereupon the subject was referred to the Printing Committee, A bill to reissue cer. tatu lost bonds to Adams’ Express Company was reported. ‘The case of the Arkan-as Senators was debated, and a Fesoiution declaring sbem pot ectitied to seats adopted by @ vote of twenty-seven to six. A bill extending to the ‘Wives and children 0° colored eoldicrs the benefits of the Pensicn act was passed. The bill to reimburse Penney} ‘vania for expenses in repelling the rebel invasion last year was amenced so as to inchde the expenditures of ail the States engaged in that campaign. A bill provid- Ang for the sale and pre empt on of mineral lands was in- troduced; also a bill regulating the militia. A joint reso. Jution requesticg the President to appoint a day of humit- fation and prayer was adopted, and the Senate took a re- cess At the evening session mr. Powell's resohition re- questing the President to revoke General Burbridge’s order prohibiting the circulation of the Cincinnati Enquirer in Keurscky was discussed, and re- Jected—eignt against twenty-five. The House Enrolment ‘Dill was taken up apd several important amendments @iopted. The period allowed for recruiting to fill quotas ‘was reduced from sixty to forty days; States shall re- @ruit only withio their own limits; @ tax of five per cent on fucomes of over six bundred doliars ts levied to pay Boidiere’ bounties. Finally the bill wae passed.

Deputy Sheriff Riey yesterday afternoen arrested Amor J. Williamson, one of the @i4 Tax Commissioners, under the order granted by Judge Barnard, and confirmed at the general term by Judges Leonard, Clerke and Sutherland, He was removed to Eldridge street jail, and we presume to-day an attempt will be made to secure his release. It was supposed that Judge Davies, of the Court of Appeals, had allowed a writ ef error, with astay of Proceedings; but, his power to dose being questioned, the ‘Sheriff, under instructions, has made the arrest. At the meeting of the Emigration Commissioners yes- terday Mr. Casserly, the government agent, submitted a correspondence which passed between Governor Sey- mour and himself concerning the whereabouts of an emigrant named Corcoran, whose friends thought he had been spirited away tothe army, but who wassick and in the hospital on Ward's 'sland.

There isa commu tation balance now of $53,545 29 ‘The one hundred and tenth annual commencement of Columbta College was held yesterday at the Academy of Music, and attracted a large number of visitors aod friends of the pupils and graduates. President King re- tires from the position he has so long and sbly filled, and Frederick A. P. Barnard, D. D., takes bis place. Mr. King, after introduciog hie successor, delivered his fare- wo!l address and took an affectionate leave of the various classes of the college. The incoming President respond 4, which, with the benediction, concluded the exercises. Judge Leonard, of the Supreme Court, was engaged yesterday in hearing a habeas corpus case, in which J. A. Stevens, President of the Bank of Commeres, and his daughter, Mrs. Mary Strong, were directed to produce the body of an infant named Alice Strong, who, it was al- Jeged, was restrained and concealed from its father by the respondents, The proceedings, which arose out of some, family quarrel, were conducted with unusual mystery and secresy. Mr. Stevens and his daughter, in their re- turn to the writ, denied all knowledge of the wherea- donuts of the infant; but the petitioner, in traversing the return, insisted that they did, and so the Court ordered vestimony to be taken, The examination wiil be resumed at the office of W, C, Neyes this afternoon. Judge Miller, of the Supreme Court, circuit, was en- gaged yesterday in trying the case of James W. Lyon vs. William J. Hoffman, The plaiatiff sued to recover for the non-delivery of 10,000 pounds of printing paper at ten cents per pound, according to contract. The defence set up was that the plaintiff stipulated to furnish the raw material atacertain price, and that, having neglected to do so, the contract became void. The jury were unable to agree, and were discharged. ‘The case of F. A. V. Barber vs. F. 0. J. Smith, in the Sapreme Court, chambers, yesterday attracted some at- tention, The plaintiff, as agsignee of Mrs. Lucy Northrup, of Boston, sues to recover for services rendered the de- fendant in taking care of two sisters, whom it is alleged he seduced in Portland, Me. Mrs. Northrup, it is alleged, agreed to make a settiement with the father of the young ladies, and also to take charge of the ladies during their confinement, in consideration of a house and lot. The de- fendant subsequently refused to carry out the contract, and hence this suit. The case came up yesterday ona motion to settle # ‘rogatories for the commission taken out to examine. certain witnesses in Malue. The matter will probably be settled to-day. An examination into the case of Charles Blackman, colored railor, who stands charged with the murder of snother colored seaman, named Edward John, on board the British schooner Florence, took plage be‘ore United States Commissioner Norton yesterday. It appears from the evidence that on the 14th of June last, when the vessel was tweaty miles off Cape Hatteras, the deceased and Blackman got into a quarrel, during which the latter stabbed bis antagonist with a knife, causing bis death in three hours after receiving the blow. Under the pro- viston of the extradition treaty with Great Britain, the Snrrevder of Blackman is demanded. It was contended for the dofence that this case does not come within the Provisions of the treaty; that the act, at most, consisted only in justifiable homicide, which, in the courts of this ict, syould warrant the aconittal of the ar~ wod rescryad. ation into the alleged navy frands under je Navy Agent will be instituted on Tuesday next, July 5, before United States Commissioner Osborn, The court will open at ten o’clock A. M. The stock market was unsettied yesterday, and prices ‘were off from a half to three per cent. Gold was run ap to 250; but transactions were mostly made at{238. The money market, in consequenee of the unsettled condition of the currency, {s inclined to stringency, and the rate of interest is rather above seven per cent for short loans. Government securities are weak, and there was a dispo- sition yesterday to press sales, ‘The excitement in gold was felt in nearly all depart- ments of trade yesterday, and commercial matters were about as irregular as the gold quotations, Imported goods were held with increased firmness, and a general ad- vance was demanded. Everything, or nearly so, was pomina!. Cotton was firm. Petroleum was greatly ex- cited, and prices varied materially. On ‘Change flour, wheat and pork were decidedly higher, with « large speculative movement. Whiskey, lard, tallow and oats also advanced, with a fair business, Freights were dull. Groceries were very firm, though not particularly active. The Campaign. Our despatebes from the Army of the Poto- mac announce the regular shelling of Peters- burg, which brings forcibly to mind. the com- mencement of a similar operation at Vicksburg last year. Just as the shelling of the Western city compelled its surrender, so must the pres- ent shelling inevitably compel the evacuation of the city, to hold which General Lee has fought so hard. Every inch of the town is under fire, and as our siege trains come up, and new guns are added to those that have already opened, we can destroy resistance at this point without any further serious loss of life. And this isa kind of combat in which the enemy cannot meet us on anything like even terms, At Vicksburg the enemy also had plenty of heavy guns and ammunition; but inthe present instance his supplies in that line are scanty. Generals Wilson and Kautz have been very successful in their operations on the encmy’s lines of supply, which they have, according to the admissions of the rebel papers, crippled very badly. As the left wing of General Grant’s army now hobs the Weldon road, and as General Wilson haa cat at Burkesville, fifty miles southwest of Richmond, the connections of the Danville road with Lynchburg, the peo- ple of Richmond and the army that defends it are, for the present at least, deprived of all sup- plies that could reach them by raih Even if they can repair this latter line and re-establish eommupication, its temporary loss damages and weakens Leo’s army very greatly. General Hunter, afer having done great ser- vice In the destruction of the enemy’s lines of supply, is in asafe place on the Gauley river. The part of Lee’s army that is re- ported to have been sent against him will have a long chase. With General Sher- man all gocs well, and the recent disaster cannot be considered as any qualifica- tion of the great triumph that Sherman’s ad- vance has been for our arms. We are pleased to learn that our loss was mach lighter than it was thought to have been. Everywhere in the field affairs have the best aspect for our cause. We ate not going on perhaps so rapidly as the over sanguine might desire that we should. But we are going on surely and quite as fast as we ought to. Fes- tina lente is a3 wise & warning now as it ever was, and we are too near the good result to risk disaster by any undne precipitancy. All that our generals have to do will be well done. Let the administration do its proper part equally well. Letit make the best possible use of this chance. Letit be sure that no general shall stand atill merely for the want of men, and we A pete to gy to see immediately under the Dutch dog. 14 | pay Anish the war in this decisive peason. NEW YURK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1864, ; T te eaid thas they wil be certainty transferred to the Fe Narroman Fr Tas Inopease | Tas Bram Faxux ap tae Mave Daranr- | without success, We therelore publish the correspond: {a aboat to propose | smmrr.—Old Blair and young Bialr, P such an increase on the taxes on whiskey, to- bacco, petroleum and incomes as will increase the product of the new Tax bill by one hundred million dollars. It was originally estimated that the new bill would preduce tires hundred and fifty millions per annum; but it is found that it will fall short of that amount at least fifty millions, and Secretary Chase also finds that be must have from this source four bun- dred million dollars to meet the current ex- penses of the government and pay the Interest on the public debt. Hence the necessity for this new provis Had Mr. Chase, from the commencement of his career as Secretary of the Treasury, relied more confidently upon the wealth and patriotiem of the country, aad con- sequently depended more upon fair financial measures like this, he would undoubtedly have avoided the very great difficulties and dangers that he has brought us into. Our national wealth is abundantly able at the present hour, as it bas been at any time during the war, to bear taxation to fully half the expenses of the war. No one, upon any thorough consideration of the resources of the country, can deny this. All that was necessary was that the Secretary of the national Treasury should have a bold faith in this fact, and should have the knowledge and the skill to spply the taxation in o proper manner. Such a development or demon- stration of the wealth of the country would bave enabled him to borrow the other half of the national expenses on almost any terms. With our wealth thus developed, and a Secre- tary with strength enough not to take a bad course because it was the easiest, and not to borrow a cent beyond the limit of safety, the finances of the nation would have been to-day in as good and sound a condition as any na- tional finances ever were. We should have been spared the many monetary dodges that have been a disgrace tous. Government paper would have been where it ought to ke, and there would have been no need of the silly Gold bill by which we have travestied the fool- ish law of the French regency which made it criminal to purchase certain articles with gold. We should not have had the country flooded with a depreciated paper, throwing the burden of the Secretary's atrocious blunders upon the necessities of the people. We should have been confident, solvent and safe, where we have now always an unpleasant sense of danger, 8 morbid fear of disaster, in view of the deli- cate condition of the finances. Tax New Kentucky Democratic PLatror¥.— The new-fangled democracy of Kentucky, in their new party platform, take the ground “that the coercion and subjugation of eleven or more sovereign States was never contem- plated as possible or authorized by the consti- tution.” “Eleven or more.” The word “more” must here be intended to convey the idea that Kentucky rightfully belongs to Jeff. Davis; but, conceding him only “eleven sovereign States,” this democratic doctrine of the sove- reign right of secession will be apt tomake a lovely time between the war and the peace democracy at Chicago. But the Kentucky democracy further declare that we have now “a public debt, the interest upon which can mance Le moet we aeterauive WOICD B@elfs strongly of the Jeff. Davis democratic remedy; that the people “must bring this war to a speedy close,” and that “the revocation of all unconstitutional edicts and pretended laws, and an immediate armistice and a na- tiqnal convention for the adjustment of dif- ficulties, are the only means of saving our nation from unlimited calamity, and ruin.” These are the distinguishing features of this new Kentucky democratic platform, and Chas. A. Wickliffe was the ruling spirit of the State convention adopting it. But what can they ex- pect to do with this man and this platform at Chicago, when they were defeated in Kentucky last summer by o popular majority of fifty thousand? Perhaps Vallandigham, who on the same platform was defeated by a bundred | thousand majority in Ohio, will be able to ex- plain. Were there ever such fools in the world before as these infatuated copperheads? Peace Ipras.—That peculiar peace organ, the Daily Nevs, of yesterday, in a peace editorial on the subject of the late suspen- sion of the World and Journal of Commerce, pleads with the ferocity of a dyed-in-the-wool blood and carnage rebel, for the inauguration of awar, through Governor Seymour, by the State of New York against the United States, for the purpose of “vengeance.” That pa- per says:—“At any moment that Governor Seymour would, in good faith, and without fal- tering, ca out the people to vindicate the law- ful rights of the people and the State, he would find an instantaneous and spontaneous response from hundreds of thousands, ready and greedy to put an extinguishing heel upon the infamous despotism of a most traitorous administration. Only give the people a chance lawfully to exe- cute vengeance, and we,” says the News, ‘will answer for its being effectually applied.” In other words, if Governor Seymour will only take the lead, and give the thing “law. fully” a start, the peace man pretty clearly intimates that he has a peace party at bis back ready for “vengeance” against the United States authorities, even to the extent of Isying this city in ashes and deluging its streets in blood! Curious logic. CononessMEn To THE F'rowr.—One of the Sena- tors from Delaware presented a resolution to the effect that members of Congress be allowed to visit all military posts. The motion was de- feated by a vote of. seventeen to twenty-four. We ave rejoiced at this result, as there can bo no greater bores at military stations than med- dlesome, prying Congressmen—politicians, who make their visits to the soldiers for the purpose of electioneering. Nothing can more demoral- ize the troops than these visite, and all Con- gressmen found prowling about the places in question should be at once sent to the rear un- der guard. The army has suffered too much already from their interference. Sxvnockwrs.—These exceedingly dangerons species of fireworks ought not to be used at any of the public exhibitions in this city on the Fourth of July. The sticks of the rockets are liable to impale the spectators or to act like fire- brands upon the surrounding houses. There are othar kinds of fireworks which produce the same display, andthe use of skyrockets should be discontinned. 5 Onn Apn’s Latoer Jone—His acceptance of tho vadical platform of the recent Baltimore Convention, including the Monroe doctrine, with the proviso that said doctrine, so far as Mexico is concerned, is to be consifered ‘all poy oye and putty Martig,” Blair and General Bisir, stl the small Bisire and all the little Blairs, all the sons-in-law and ail the brothers-in-law of the Blairs, have their broad bands and broad feet upon the Navy Department. They have a tuppenny paper in Washington, through which they attempt to repy to our strictures upon Admiral Lee; but they do not develope a single new fact, and their quotations from official doouments only corroborate our assertions, Montgomery Biale is a very good Postmaster, if be would only stick to that. General Blair is a very good offloer and a very good Con- gressman, if he would be eatisfied with that. But the Blair family, as a corporate body, is » @readfal inoubus upon the natiog. This family does all the damage in the Navy Department. It drove Admiral Dupont, one of our most brilliant naval officers, out of active service; it onshiered the brave Commodore Wilkes; it prevents Admiral Farragut from doing sny- thing; It’ keeps that fossilized stick, Gideon Welles, in office; it gives the sty: Fox, who is s relative of the family, contro! of’ naval. mat- tera; \it foists upon the navy suoh’imbectles as Admiral Lee, who is another relative of the family, This record is enough to damn any family, ; We have no objection to Postmaster Blatr’s administration of the Post Office Department}. but we do emphatically object to his attempt- ing to manage the Navy Department for family purposes. In Welles he has a pliant tool; for Welles is too far gone to do anything except what the Blairs tell him. As for Fox, he ‘is altogether too smart a man for his position, since he directs all his attacks, not upon the rebels, but upon the United States Treasury. Lee has neither pluck nor skill enough to fight. ‘We ask President Lincoln when he is going to obey the dictum of the Baltimore Convention, and sweep the Navy Department ot corruption- ists and incompetents by sending old Welles and sly Fox by the board? A Rainy Szason in Gzoraia—A Drovent my Viraisma anp THe Norra.—During the last thirty, forty or fifty days, great, if not the greatest, impediment to the advance of General Sherman’s army in Georgia has been the miry condition of the roads and flooded streams, re- sulting from the succession of heavy rains, “never ending, but still beginning,” which have deluged that section of the country. On the other hand, from Massachusetts to Missouri, westward, and from Canada down into North Carolina, southward, an unusually hot and sweltering, cool, breeay and dry season has prevailed for several wegks, eo thet our farm- érs. and gardeners begin to complain of the drought. While General Sherman’s soldiers, in Georgia, drenched to the bones, have been floundering in mud.and water, General Grant’s army in Virginia bas been and still continues to. be enveloped and nearly suffocated and buried in dust. Surely this state of things cannot last much longer. Surely the season of rains which has for weeks prevailed in Georgia will find its way northward before many days are over, We think, like Banquo, we shall have rain before long, and, like the man watching him. We say, KT.ab th cone dew ue” Greeter Drawine Ir Rataer Mitp ror Lrv- corn.—Greeley says :—“ We should support ‘General Fremont quite as willingly as Mr. Lin- coln if the former stood at the head of the anti-slavery host. But he does not.” “Quite as willingly” does not meet the case. Much more willingly is what Massa Greeley meant to say. He finds it hard to play second fiddle to Mr. Seward, Thurlow Weed and the “Little Villain” of the Times. But there is no help for it, and old Whitecoat must be content with & back seat. Lincoun on Tae Mownor Doctrine.—Lincoln’s position on the Monroe doctrine, as explained in his letter accepting the Baltimore nomina- tion, is similar to that of a Down East candi- date for Governor in regard to the Maine Liquor law. “He isin favor of the doctrine, but opposed to its enforcement.” THE DRAFT.

The supplemental draft for the Third Congressional dis- trict (Brooklyn), to fill up the deficiency still existing to the quota, wes made yesterday morning at the beadquar- ters of the Provost Marshal, in Washington street, be- tween Johnson and Tillary streets, The total number of menu required is twenty seven, and in order to secure the full quota fifty-foer names were drawn.
