Powells Run (New Jersey, United States) (search for this): article 1
ouriers had been dispatched for reinforcements, but they did not come up in time to save our fortifications, and many of Petersburg's best and most gallant sons fell in the affray, some killed and others wounded. The enemy came on in double column, with sabres drawn, until they reached the hill opposite the water works, where they planted a cannon for the purpose of shelling the city. They then started down the hill, and their column actually took possession of a bridge which crosses Powell's Run at the foot of the Water Works Hill. They were almost in Petersburg — could see its spires and steeples and many of the houses on our suburban limits — but again that Divine arm which has been so often outstretched in our behalf, was bared, and our city was saved from the tread of the ruthless invader. Just at this opportune moment Graham's battery reached the Reservoir Hill, unlimbered in an instant, and with a precision and rapidity which we have heard spoken of as being almost wi

An official dispatch, received yesterday, states that Sheridan's forces encamped on Thursday night at New Market, in Spotsylvania county, about five miles from Childsburg, and ten miles south of Spotsylvania Court-House. We have good authority for stating that Gen. Hampton was between them and Gordonsville. A citizen of Caroline county, who arrived in this city yesterday, states that Sheridan's command is about , with ten pieces of artillery, and that they moved in three columns.

The enemy have retired in the direction of City Point. Official dispatches give great praise to the militia for their gallantry in repulsing three assaults, and only giving way in pursuance of orders, after they were flanked. The attack on Petersburg — easy repulse of the enemy — list of they afternoon: Wm. Tompkins, co. F., 11th Penn cavalry, commanded by Col. Speare; Solomon Saxton, do; John Logan, co. D., same regiment, and Peter White, bugler, of the same regiment. These men all agree that the expedition was for the purpose of capturing Petersburg. They say that Gen. Kantz was in command, and that Colonel Speare was along. They left Bermuda Hundred at half past 10 o'clock on Wednesday night, and crossed on a pontoon bridge three miles this side of City Point

r as early as seven o'clock, and brisk skirmishing was kept up for some time. At eight o'clock the Court house and engine bells were rung, to which the citizens responded with their usual alacrity, and manifested every disposition to defend their homes and firesides. In the meantime the enemy's gunboats ascended the Appomattox river and opened a furious fire on Fort Clifton, and various other points along the river, for the obvious purpose of occupying the attention of our troops in Chesterfield. At 9 o'clock our pickets on the Jerusalem plankroad were driven in, and before ten the enemy showed himself in overwhelming number filling the road and the woods on both sides. Our breastworks here extended from the residence of Timothy Rives, Esq., on the left, to and across the road and beyond the house of Mr. Wm. A. Gregory, on the right. The enemy manœuvred for a while, thinking probably that our raw troops fight, but never were the Yankee invaders more mistaken. Our men were

We only know with certainty that some prisoners had been captured, who were seen by a scout yesterday on the way to Richmond. From the Valley of Virginia. We have received some further intelligence from the Valley. Crook and Averill joined Hunter on Wednesday at Staunton, at which time a portion of their forces were on the Greenville and Middlebrook road. On the same day, at 3 o'clock P. M., five hundred cavalry made a demonstration on Waynesboro', on the Greenville and Staunton road, and were repulsed by Gen. Imboden. The enemy retreated to Staunton, burning the Fishersville Depot on the route. Pope, with a force of 4,000, was reported moving down the Valley to reinforce Hunter.

guerillas is reported on Cave Island, and another band at Doneghan. Col. Rogers, commanding at Cape Girardnan, thinks the movements of the guerillas are intended to cover an attack upon some important point, and that McRae will probably make a demonstration on Patterson. An extract from the Washington correspondence of the Herald exhibits in the strongest light the bankrupt condition of the Yankee Government.--The expenses of the Government have been run up from two million per day; in 1862 and 1863, to four millions per day in 1864. A message from Capt. Ewing, at Bloomfield, says the guerillas destroyed the telegraph line near Charleston, and swore they intended to keep it down. A dispatch from Col. Rogers, dated Cape Girardeau, June 3, says: "The whole company of guerillas crossed the river and swamp, and were within eight miles of here last night. They have cut the telegraph line to New Madrid." The presence of these bands of guerillas is accounted for by the

There will remain no alternative but to organize against him every element of conscientious opposition, with the view to prevent the misfortune of his re-election. The Herald says: The bold, emphatic, consistent and strong position assumed by Fremont and his independent radicals, of all creeds and all nations, against Lincoln, secures the detest of Lincoln in June or in November--at Baltimore or before the grand jury of the people. Returning Sanity. Wilkes's (N. Y.) Spirit of the Times, edited by a man who has heretofore been a strong advocate of the war, doesn't seem to be very much elated by the prospects of the war: Never before have we felt a depression equal to that which assails us at this moment. Three years have now elapsed since the commencement of the war. A debt of sixteen hundred millions stares us in the face; and nearly half a million o
