The rebel attack upon our forces while crossing the James river, near Bermuda Hundred, on pontoon bridges, on Wednesday, did not succeed. The fight was severe, bat the enemy were driven into thoir intrenchments, ‘with a logs of four guns avd several prisoners. As we Daye stated, the Union gunboats were in the action, and materially contributed in protecting our troops. We bave all the particulars of this fight with Gen. Foster’s forces at Deep Bottom by our correspondents on the Bpot. General Hancock's corps, which bad been reut to Foster’s assistance, made a brilliant charge and drove the enemy back into their intreachments, Their works ‘were captared and four thirty-two-pounder Parrott guns ‘were taken. There is evidently a movement on foot in General Grant’s army, which is just beginning to develop Ataete. Geveral Sherman appears to be gradually advancing Bis lines on Atlanta. No information bad been received of tho cavalry force sent to break up the Macon and ‘Columbus Raflroad—the Inst means left for the escape of ‘the rebel army. An attempt by the enemy yesterday to Fenew the attack on our lines was repulsed with some foss. That on our side amounted to about one hundred ‘men. ‘The news from Charleztor to the 21st states that Fort Sumter was undergoing another destructive bombard ‘ment from our batteries and fleet. The firing was very wlow, but accurate, and serious damage resulted to some of the strongest portions of the fort. Tho fire on Charles- ton ts also kept up. ‘The work of erecting residences for the rebel prisoners on Morris Island progresses, though the rebels annoy the ‘workmen to the extent of their ability by shelling the ‘puildings. ' General Foster's late expedition created a great scare ‘a Savannah, The rams were moved down to the ob- Btruotions 2 the river, and General Johnston sent a ‘Drigade of Georgia troops to Savannah, which was di- ‘verted at Augusta to John’s Isiand, where they partici- puted in the fight of the oth. The rebel raiders are reported to be withdrawing from Maryland, probably with a view to make an attack in another direction. They had crossed and returned at Paling Waters and Hancock yesterday, and were said to be forty thousand strong. General Rosecrans has issued a call for nine regiments ‘of volunteers in Missouri to protect the State from gueril Jas and rebel invasion. . ‘There was a pretty Beayy fight in Arkansas, near White river, on Monday last between a number of Union polorea troops, under Colone! Brooks, and = strong force @ the rebels. Our men were compelled to retreat, with peme loss, but made anotber stand within nine miies of Beloua, where, at last accounts, thoy were fighting. Re- tmforcements wore going up to them. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ‘We have later advices from Central and South America, By the eteamship Costa Rica, which arrived here yester- @ay, from Aspinwall on the 17th instant; but the news is no great importance. Another revolution was re- Ported to havo broken out in the interior of Colombia, Dut of its progress or extent wo have no account, In Kcuador a revolution against the existing government is ‘Sbreatened, and is liable to be inaugurated at apy mo- ment. The churches of Panama had again been opencd for public worship, alter being closed for some time, Owing to difficulties betweem the Colombian government nd the clergy. There is nothing later by this arrival Felative to the difficultics between Peru and Spain, nor ‘any news from the republic of Chile, The Costa Rica ‘Wrought to this port $290,651 in specie. Our correspondent, writing from San Jaan de! Norte, Nicaragua, gives us some interesting accounts of the late rains in that country, swelling the streams and rivers to Bgreat extent. The Fourth of July was celebrated in the warmest and most enthusiastic manner by Americans and others. There is no political news. ‘The United States hospital steamship Western Metropo- ‘Ma, Dr. William M. Hudson, surgeon in charge, arrived here yesterday afternoon from Fortress Monroe, with (Qve hundred sick and wounded soldiers from the field Dospitais at City Point. A few of the number have been ‘wounded ia the trenches in front of Petersburg ; but tho great majority consist of light cases of disease, who will be restored to health and vigor by @ few days of whole Some Norther siz, and will soon agaia join the noble Army of the Potomac. The Board of Commissioners of Health met yesterday @t the Moyor's office. The Health OMcer, Dr. Swin- burne, stated that the reports ot deaths from fever on Doard the United States steamer Tahoma wore exag- @orated; that po ew cases bad oceurred on board of ‘Chat vesre! or among her passengers and crew for the fest four days; that nothing bad been landed from her except the purser’s papers, which nad boen thoreughly fumigated. He recommended, on the suggestion of Sir. Blali, the agent of the press, that no reports should be Published io the newspapers which did not come through he medium of the Axsocisted Press. In this recom- @eodation the Commissiovers of Health united. A meoting of the People’s National Executive Commit dee was beid lasteveuing at the club room, corner of First street and avenve A. About thirty persons were Present. Wookly mectings will be held by the club dur. fmg the campaign. Some business in connection with the measures to be takom by the club to further the great MoCioian meeting on the 10th of August next was trans- ected, after which the meeting adjourned, ‘The Central Railroad of New Jersey yesterday opened the extension of their road from Elizabethport to Com umipaw Bay, and thence by ferry to pier 2 North river.

The utmost enthusiasm prevatied whenever the name of General MoClellan was mentioned, and the sentiments of the spoakers wore loudly ap- lauded, Arrangements were made by the clud to at- tend the MoClelian masg meeting on the 10th of Auguai. Yesterday, in the Supreme Court, chambers, on the di- vorce case of John Vedder against his wife Mary Vedder, Judge Barnard confirmed the decree of referee granting & divorce againss the defendant, To the matter of Goorge, Count Joannes, vs. Horace W. Day, Judge Garvin yesterday announced his decision in favor of the Count, and against the demurrer of the de- fendant. Tho plaiuti argued his own case, and claimed judgment on the ground that the demurrer was frivolous and pleaded upon the premises, The motion was granted, with ten dollars costs for plaintiff, and judgment against the demurrer, with leave to de‘endant to answer within! twenty days upon payment of costa or otherwise, lua Judgment to be euterod for two thousand five hundred dollars for the plaintiff. An important will caso was decided yesterday by Judge Barnard, in the special term of the Supreme Court, It was the case of Chauncey Kose, executor of the last will and testament of Henry Koso, deceased. Tho testator by his will bequeathed from one and a half to two millions of doliars to found a beneficent association for poor children in the city of New York. A condition was imposed, however, thut three hundred thousand dollars Should be raised from other sources for the same purpose, Mmiting five years as the period within which this addi- tional fand should be raised, and in cago it was not done within the time one-half of tho estate was to go to the American Colonization Society, and the other half to such objects of charity as his executor might select. the Court decided that the limitation of five years was a violation of the statute, and thus voided not only the origival bequest, but the other bequests depending upon the failure of the condition connected therewith. The eetate, therefore, goes to the brothers of the deceased, We bave begun to have meteoric displays once more in this region, On Toursday evening a brilliant meteor, Fesembling a skyrocket, appeared in the heavens, rising from the east and shooting across the sky to the west- ward, coutinuing visible for about halfa minute, it made a pretty display while it lasted, but was as nothing compared to our great meteors three or four yoars ago. The drovght in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois has been succeedod by the heaviest rain storms known in that section for many years, More water ig said to have follen in soime places than fell for several months pre- vious. The share market continued active yesterday, and the upward movement in .prices which commenced In the early part of the week continued. There was enother lively demand for government securities, which it is re- ported comes from abroad, and quotations agata advanced. Gold was dull; but the premium ranged above that of the day previous. Money continues in demand for stock movemonts, and borrowers are freely supplied at seven percent. An easy morket is anticipated for some time to come, owing to the free issuo by the government of compound interest bearing legal tenders, Business was still unsettled yesterday. The fluctua. tions of gold and sterling exchange rendered both foreign and native goods entirely nominal, and many people were afraid to name a price at which they would buy or sell, Nevertheless a fair business was reported io seve- ral articles; yet trade was called dull by almost every- body. Cotton was without decided cheuge. Petroleum was irrogular, Holders were firm and business light. Byjgranting some concession a large business for export would have ensued. On ’Change the leading staples of Produce opened a shade firmer, but the improvement was subsequently lost, and the market was gonerally dull at the close. Freights were a little slack for want of supplies, The Movement of Grant’s Army—The Battles at Atlanta. Our news to-day from the Army of the Potomac is of the greatest interest. It indi- cates the direction of the important movement that has already been announced as in pro- gress, and illustrates once more General Grant’s peculiar strategy of turning up in unexpected places. From a point a little east of Petersburg the Appomattox runs very nearly north for rather more than five miles. It turns to the east again just at the point where General Butler’s line begins, on the Bermuda Hundred peninsula; but General Butler’s line continues the northerly direction for over three miles more; and thus, on our side of the Appomattox and across General Butler’s position, it is-possible to move, inside of our lines, more than half way to Richmond from General Grant’s headquarters, near Pe- tersburg. That is to sa,y at Grant’s head- quarters, near Petersburg, one is twenty miles from Richmond; but at the northern extremity of General Butler’s line one is only ten«miles from Richmond, as the bird flies. Continuing in the same northerly direetion, we cross the James river at the point called Deep Bot- tom. “Deep Bottom” merely refers to the depth of the river at that point, and not to the country; for the land,isa high bluff. More than a month ago General Foster was sent across the river to this point, and he has been actively engaged on the intrenchments of the position ever since. Now we are informed that infantry of General Grant’s ermy was passing the James to that point on Wednesday last. Deep Bottom is four miles nearer to Richmond than Malvern Hill. It is only twelve miles from that city by the New Market road. It is the key to the high and healthful piece of country immediately south and east of Richmond, and between that city and White Oak Swamp. General Grant’s posi- tion there will develop Lee’s present weak- ness perhaps, and will at leastcompel that sorely pressed leader to show why he should not either abandon Petersburg to save Rich- mond or let Richmond go to keep Petersburg. General Hood has done at Atlanta what he was appointed for. He has assaulted the Union lines, fought two or three bloody bat- tles, and given the Southern journals that are deepest in the Davis interest an opportunity to shout victory. For there does appear to be some probability that Hood had a certain measure of success in the battle of the 224. When, on the 20th, he assaulted our right, held by Howard, Hooker, Palmer, New- ton, Geary and Williams—that is, when he assaulted the Army of the Potomac in its Western apotheosis; for every one of the above named generals went west from that glo- rious army—he found more than bis match, and was hurled back in utter discomfiture. Howard, Newton, Geary and Williams bad helped to hold the lines at Gettysburg, and were not to be driven by anything that the enemy has cver had in his Western army. But when, two days later, the enemy assaulted our left, held by General Frank ‘Bialr, he seems not to have been resisted so weil. But his nominal success will prove to be a small matter, even if he did, as be claims, drive Blair from his position. With their cheers over Hood, the Southern journals couple anathemas against Johnston, who did not fight these battles weeks ago. All this must excite a grim smile on the face of that old doctor of strategy. Jolmston knows just how ensy it is to win just such “victories” as this that Hood bas won, and be knows how costly and how worse than valueless such victories are. He can, therefore, afford to wait the ten or twenty days that will justify him before the Southern people. Hood gives battle to Sher- man to drive him out of Georgia—to compel him to loosen bis hold on Atlanta—and sueh would be the effectof « great rebel victory; but it will be seen that Hood’s recent assault will not even interrupt the progress of Sher- NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1864 man. His lines are tighter around Hood even now than they were before the battle; and when the Southern journals find that the late struggle is not followed by the results of vic- tory they will burrah less, and they will pro- bably curse Hood for a useless slaughter of fifteon thousand rebel soldiers. If Hood will only beat Sherman every day for five days in succession as he did on the 22d, Sherman's success in this whole campaign will be the most brilliant that ever fell to the share of asoldier. Let the Richmond papers burrab over “Hood's victory.” We can, like Frede- rick, afford, just now, to pardon our enemies the follies they utter, in consideration of the foilies they commit, Tus Larxsr Prase or Tag Reputtton AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT—THE VALLANDIGHAM PEACE Parry PLor.—Some days ago we announced that discoveries had been made in Missouri tending to show that there was a secret society extensively organized throughout the Northern States, which was in affiliation with the rebels, and aimed at nothing less than the absolute overthrow of the Ug ed States government. Mucb doubt has been cast upon all these state- ments. They have especially been pocb-poohed by the peace journals, who declare that it is all + the Titus Oats story over again, and that the whole conspiracy has been invented by the ad- ministration to injure the peace party and kill the Chicago Convention. But there is no longer any reason to doubt the existence of such a society, aud in another column we give in ex- tenso its whole system—its declaration of prin- ciples, its oaths, obligations, charges, grips, signs, and all the other paraphernalia of secret societies, There are, it appears, several degrees of dig- nity, or guilt, in this society. Its declaration of principles for the deluded of the first, dogree is a mild system of ethics, in which politics, phi- losophy and religion are quaintly jumbled to- gether. In its political parts this declaration is a parody of the Declaration of Independence. Men are not absolutely equal in it; but they are “equal so far as there is capacity,” &c., which means that they are not eqnal at all. In the second degree matters are a little deeper and darker. This andthe third degree are full of the inevitable nigger; lay down the law as to the functions of government, declare that our government is perverted from its true purpose, and preach a wholesale crusade for its over- throw. These declarations go very largely into the ancient question of State rights, and argue that the United States government is not a government. The whole document is very important just now, and this subject promises to be the real summer sensation. Many arrests be equally advantageous. at once. He has wasted quite time enough already. DITION, | Trg ATLantic CaBLx.—We see it stated that Mv. Cyrus W. Field bas sailed in her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Margaretta Stevenson for Trinity Bay, with the purpose of selecting s Place for the landing of the Atlantic telegraph cable. This would prove that this long pro- mised and eagerly expected communication between the Old World and the New may be realized ere long. It is stated in the London journals that the new cable is of so superior a make that it may oonfidently be expected it will not break. The firm who have con- structed the cable guarantee it and take a large amount of stock in the company, thus proving their faith in the enterprise. This cable, if suc- cessfully laid, will revolutionize many things. It will undoubtedly tend to promote good will between us and the European communities, and will prevent those misrepresentations which so frequently lead to national diffi- culties... A French company, or rather a project of a company, for laying an ocean cable between France and this country has been started in Paris; but unless the line from England is suc- cessful this will never be undertaken. The purpose of the French compang is to form an opposition or competition in case it is proved that a line may be worked. Messrs. Ronett & Troltes, the parties who represent the French company, have been ventilating this thing for years; but no attention was paid to them by the French government until it’ became appa- rent that one more tsial would be made by the original Atiantic Telegraph Company. Then the Emperor Napoleon ordered his Minister of the Interior to grant to Messrs. Ronett & Troltes aconcession for connecting the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon with France by an ocean cable. The interests of the world at large will of course be served by having two cables, and in case of the success of the first the second will unquestior ably be laid.

Tae Taare Granp Divisions or THE Reset Arwizs,—The rebel armies are now widely separated into three grand divisions, the first and most important of which hes its head- quarters at Richmond; the second at Atlanta, Georgia, while the third is scattered about in broken ‘detachments all over the country on the west side of the Mississippi, from Missouri to the Mexican border. The armed forces of Jeff. Davis & Co. between Virginia and Georgia amount to one hundred and fifty thousand men, of whom eighty thousand are in Lee’s army, between Richmond and Petersburg; their forces from Georgia to the Mississippi river inclusive will foot up to one huadred and twenty thousand, of whom abont fifty thousand are in Hood’s army, the rest being scattered about at Savannah, Mobile and at various other places; while their numerous squads of regu- lars and guerillas west of the Missiseippi will give us another item of forty thousand men, or @ grand total of three hundred and ten thoysand men os the armed forces of the re fon now in the field. Now, assuming that between General Canby and our Mississippi gunboats, the rebels west of that river will at least be kept on that side, we may dismiss that section from our estimate ot the work required to bring this war to an end. We have, in fact, only to demolish Lee’s army proper*of eighty thousand men, and Hood’s, in Georgia, of fifty thousand men, to settle the businegs; for, with the main army in- both cases destyoyed, their supporting dctachments, scattered here and there, will specdily fell to pieces. Hence we find that the movements of Grant and Sherman are directed, not against Ricbmond and Atlanta, but against the rebel armies driven into those cities; and thus we see that at last we have a campaign directed at all points, not as for the conquest of a bit of foreign territory here and there, but for the suppression of an armed rebellion within our own borders. Let the administration recall General McClellan to take care of Washington, and Grant and Sher- man, under this programme, will not be much lenger delayed in bringing the rebellion to an end. Granxt.—Those who imagine that Grant has been idle do not know their man. His in- dustry is equal to his enterprise. Before long we shall see the effects of his work, and it will startle the country. Grant is always busiest when he seems to be doing nothing. Sswett anv Lixcotx.—Lincoln now tries to disown Jewett; but the attempt comes too late. Jewett has already eclipsed Lincoln in the pence negotiations, and he has a better Tight to disown Old Abe than Old Abe has to throw discredit upon him. Read Jewett’s re joinder, in another column. Prots Aoatsst McCurrtan.—The adminis- tration has been doing all within its power to kill off McClellan for the last*two years; but with all its efforts he has been gradually winning the confidence of the people. As it was with General Taylor, they are rallying around him on account ef the abuse heaped upoo him by the party in power. The Wood and Val- landigham copperhead faction have become alarmed at this clamor of the people for McClellan, and, fearing his nomination at Chi- cago, have now become allies of the adminis. tration in their effortsto run him down. The administration and Wood-Vallandigham fac- tions both hate and fear him. All admit that the turning point of the campaign is opposition to the present corrupt and imbecile administra- tion. Who, then, is more appropriate to be the candidate of the opposition element than the man whom the administration has labored harder to ruin than it has to crush out the rebellion? Genera Hoov.—If General Hood cannot win « battle be can at least claim victory ina despatch, It is doubtful whether Jeff.

This plam will require @ considerable force om our,part to keep ap counter movements, aud the norihera sections of Vim ginia may yet experience some of the terrors of a border warfare fg ita wildest forms.

Wasuraron, July 29, 1864.

Barrzxone, July 20—10:40 P.M, A despatch from Harper's Ferry says:—There is em invasion going forward here, but it is not an invasion of Maryiand, Harper’s Ferry is once again, in its varie® experience during the war, the scone of active military Operations, Thus much I may say without imparting any information to theenemy; for by the time this goes into print they will woll know that before Maryiand cam be invaded again the question.is to be decided who shall be master in the valley of the Shenandoah. Withons tonching on contraband news- by any reference to the troops which om our side are to be employed ip settling this problem, their numbers, commanders, &c., 1 may say tbat the military authorities have pushed forward their counter movements against the schemes of the rebels with an unusual degree of vigor, sagacity and secresy. If the rebel force-lingers anywhere near: Winchester a batele is among the probabilities within the next few days. If fought at all, it will be fought under circumstances that ought to, and I believe will, give us success. It will not bea fight in which a portion of our forces are exposed to the whole revel strength, There will be no whipping us this time by detail. We shall net be obliged to fight against superior numbers ef the enemy, and «also bad management on our ows part. If we are. whipped the rebels witl have to show @ larger force in the Shenandoah valley than has yet bees developed, except by rumor, and they will also have te fight for what they get. It is doubtful whether aay serious engagement will occaur, unless, Indeed, oar movements have been suillciently rapid to take the rebels by surprise. We bave bad abundant experiences of the unfruitfulnesa of a chase of the enemy up the valley when they find it expedient to avoid giving bam tle., There isa race for Staunton or some of the gape. in whioh the rebels have the advantace, both. of start and distance, and, as they generally load us, eo? am inclinod to believe it will be this time, ‘There is one. other point to be taken into consideration’, and apom tt) may depend the whole question, The enemy may beewt ficieatly in need of the crops of the valley to make it imperative necessity thet they should fight for them. Pe 1s undoubtedly the fect that these crops hevo furnished, tos very considerable extent, the subsistence for they, arcay at Richmond, The question as to whc.is the maser in the valloy ic once more to be tested. ! ‘There js nothing important from up tde-river.
