The army of the Potomac has giu moved successfully ty the left flank. crossed the James River, and Is now oh the south sido of Richmond, united with the forces previously operating under General Butler.

'At first it was sup might move by "the right flank ami plant himself on the nortwest side of the capital hut this would at last have rendered a shifting of the position necessary order to secure a base on James river, We do not snppose it was intended at any time to take the work on the east by storm. This would nol be, impossible, but jt would be costly. The advantage of the new position is, that it enables Gen. Grant to cut off communication between Richmond and the interior, There are two roads, leading south from the rebel capital. The one via Petersburg is now practically in our The 1 other, which is known as the Danville road, we can easily disable, if we cannot occupy it perma nently." This road destroyed, and country through which it passes traversed by our cavalry, Lee, so far as regards would, be entirely cut off from the 8outb.

Northward, the Virginia Central road communicates with Lynch burg via of Gordonsville, but this has been already seriously damaged, and it is upon this line that Hunter and Sheridan are now operating. The roads in this direction, our dispatches inform us, are destroyed, every bridge being burned and every culvert blown up. i'he Dan ville road, therefore, only remains, aud this cut, Lee's supplies must cease. Up on this being "accomplished, Lee will be forced to assume the offensive. He must come out and fight Grant on the ground of the latter! choosing, or leave Richmond for the East or North.

The first alternative would suit General Grant best. He has, since crossing the Rapi dani been seeking a decisive battle in the open field. Lee has been careful, thus far, to avoid such a conflict. He may now he compelled to accept it. If he does, the most bloody battle that has ev been fought will decide the fate of Lee's army, and of course of the rebel capital.

If, however, ee should move north, which is not probable. Grant will find no difficulty in accommodating himself to that alternative, Upon the whole, it seems to us that Gen. Grant now occupies the best poei' tion he has had since the campaign open ed, and from which we may anticipate the roost decisive and favorable results. This work, however, i not tq be accom plished immediately neither is it to be an easy task performances that will consume time and involve much hard fighting are before our army Cindnnati GautU. PetenbarR Bravery of the Colored Troops They Carry Works that are Stronger than those at Missionary Ridge.

There is every reason to believe that the city of Petersburg, Y'rglnia, has been carried by General Smith, rlerretary Stanton's dispatch gives very full partic ulars of the successful attack made upon the outer worksof thjs city. It seem that mqst pf the severe fighting wa done by the colored troops, and that it was performed with such bravery and gallantry that General Smith went to them and thanked them for (heir Conduct. He says they cannot be excelled. We trust this testimony will be duly weighed by the whole copperhosd press which has from its first derided and libel ed those brave men and charged them with cowardice. The works stormed and carried by these colored men are said to have been stronger and more dif ficult fo capture than those at Mission ary Ridge.

Generals Smith and Butler went over them after they were taken and passed this judgment. Hancock succeeded in getting up to the left of Gen eral Smith and taking part in the contest. The colored loops took six of the thir teen csnnon which we captured. We took three or four hundred prisoners all from Beauregard's army. a tST In Richmoud, at this time, com mon whisky sells at 8150 por; gallon, and uncommon at whatever the dealer chooses to ask for it, yet whisky drinking goes on.

Mr. Raymond of New York from the committee on Resolutions reported the following i FLATrQKM, Rttoltxd, Tbt it is the bigliest duty hof every American citizen to maintain against all their enemies, the integrity of the union and the Constitution and laws of the United 8tates, and that we pledge ourselves as Union men, animated by a common sentiment aud aiming at a com mon objecf, to dp everything in our power to ant the Uovernmentm onelung oy rorce oi arms me reDeinon now raging against its authority, and by bringing to punishment, due to their crimes, the rebels and traitors arrayed against iu Xetotvtd, 'lhat we approve the deter mination of the Government of the United States not to compromise with reb els, or to offer any terms of peace, except sucn as may do based npon ait unconditional surrender of their hostility and to retrirnto their allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States and that we call upou the Government to maintain this position, and to prosecute the war with (he utmost possible vigor to the complete suppression of the in full reliance upon the self sacrifices, the patriotism, the heroic valor and the undying devotion of the American people to their country and Us free in atitutions. v' 1 "Rnolvtd, as "slavery was the cause, and now constitutes the strength of the rebellion, and that it must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of Republican Government, justice, and the national safety, demands its utter and complete extirpation from the soil of the Kepublic, and that we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamation of Government, in it. has caused a deathblow to this eieantie evil. We are in favor, furthermore, of such an amendment to the Constitution, to be made! by the people, in conformity with its provisions, as snail terminate and foi ever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits or jurisdiction of the United States.

ni JUtolvti, That the thanks of the American people are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy, who have periled their lives in defense of their country and in vindication of the honor or the nag that the nation owes to them some permanent recotmition of their pa triotiam and their valor, ample and permanent provision or of their survivors who have received disabling and honorable wounds in the service of the eountryi and that the msmory of those who have fallen in its defense Misll be held in grateful and everlasting renieiu brnncc Retolvtd, Tlist' we approve ami ap plaud the'pi tieid wisihim; thnnsetlisli pulnotl iu ami unswerving luh'lily to the Const it ut ion anil the princiides of Aiuer c4n Bbr( whirk Aliralistn Llatjiln' bus lini hsrL'til, tiiuu circillilsnres 'of tin perallesV dilhewly, the great 'diitieir wh44 Wth that we approve and indorse as demanded liy "emergency, and: esHenf ial to the preservation ol the nation, and as within the Constitution the measures and acts Inch he has adopted, to defend the na tion against its open and Secret foes that we approve especially the Proclamation of Emancipation, and the employment as Union soldiers of men heretofore held in slavery And that we have full confidence in his determination to carry that, and all other constitutional measures, essential to the salvation of the country, into full and complete eflect. i RtKAvtd, That we deem it essential to the general welfare that harmony should prevail in the national councils, and we regard as worthy of public confidence ami official trust, those only who eordialt ly indorse the principles proclaimed in these resolutions, and which should characterise the Administration of the Government. Jtttolved, That the Government owes to all men employed in its with out regard to distinction of color the full protection, of, the laws of war, and that any violation of these laws, of the usa ges of civilized nations in the time of war, by the rebels now in arras, should be made the subject of full and prompt redress. Bttcind, That the foreign immigra tion, which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of the resources and increase of power to this nation the asylnmn of the oppress. ed of all nations should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy.

Jutolvtd, i bat we are in favor of the speedy construction of the railway to the Pacific. Retolvtd, That the National faith nledired for the redemrjtion of the nnblic debt, must be kept inviolate, anil that for this purpose we recommend economy and rigid responsibility in the public, expen ditnres and a vigorous and just system of taxation that it is the duty of every loyal state to sustain the credit and promote the use of the National currency Rttolvtd, That we approve the posi tion taken by the Government that the people of the United States can never regard with indifference the attempt of any European Power, to overthrow by force, or to supplant by fraud, the insti tutions of one Republican Government on. the Western Continent. And. that JU they will view with extreme jealousy, as menacing to the peace efforts of any such power to obtain new footholds for mon archical governments, sustained by for eign military force, in near proximity to the United states.

News from Memphis. IstuilaorfttarKU' UxpedltUa and IMnaatr. Memphis, Juue 14. The following in formation in regard to the late expedi tion of Gon. Sturgis, is gathered mostly trom otneers accompanying the expedi tion, and is mainly correct.

Nothing of interest occurred until the expedition passed Salem, on the 5th, when 300 men were sent in advance. Passim; through Ripley they captured several small parties of the enemy, aud moving directly upon Rienzi and Danville, de stroyed the railroad and burned the depot at the former place constantly skirmishing with a considera1 le body of the enemy, lhey rejoined the main column on the 8th with 25 prisoners. On the 9th the main column passed through Ripley, moving southwest. On the morning of the 10th the cavalry' moved in the direction of Guntowh, leaving the infantry in camp. After proceeding a few miles, they encountered the enemy's Eickets," and soon came upon a largo ody of the enemy, in position, and the battle became general.

The Cavalry dis mounted and drove the enemy some dis tanee, when the latter were re inforced, and our men fought four hours against great odds. Wha the Infantry came up, the cavalry At 8 P. M. another large body of the enemy arrived on' the railroad, in sight of the' battle, which was raging furiously, all our, force being engaged. It was soon evident that we could not withstand such attacks were peing made oy such superior nnmuers, ana our men mgan to tall back, contesting every1 Inch of 'ground.

The i i i colored troops fought with desperation. and were the last to give way. The column retreated to Ripley, a distance 6f 25 miles, that night, after burning a large portion of the supply train, and destroying ten pieces of artillery; which they were unable to move through the swamps. si u. On the 11th the enemy made a' des perate attack on the infantry which was repulsed, bnt the attack was renewed and considerable portions of the1 infantry out off and captured after their ammuni tion became exhausted.

It is stated that many of the negro troops boarded the ammunition train as it was being destroyed, filling their pockets and hosoms with cartridges. Others jrstberiniz am munition from the cast off accconntre ments of the white troops and thns were enabled to keep up the fight nntil they' reached Memphis. iA' It stated that a body of 1,800 infantry which were cut off and supposed to have been captured, were defended by 200 negroes' from repeated assault of the rebel cavalry and arrived at Colliers ville soon after the main eolumn. 1 Another bodv of 800 negroes arrived this morning having escaped by by roads, all bringing then arms. The loss is now estimated at one hundred and twenty five wagons, 14 pieces of artil lery and about 1,500 men Alt of the 59th United States (colored) have come ia except 200 men and 8 officers.

All the troops are now up except several divisioits covering the wagon trains, and they will be up to night. The enemy endeavored to re inforce Petersburg, and abandoned the works in front of Bermuda Hundred. They no doubt expected troops, from the north and by the James Biver to take their place before we discovered it.

Butler took advantage of this, and moved a force at once upon the railroad and clank Road between Richmond and Pe tersburg, which I hope to retain. Too much praise cannot be given to the troops and their commanders for energy and fortitude displayed for tho last five days and nights. Day and night has been all the same no delays being allowed on any account. Late unofficial dispatches show that at 8 o'clock this morning the enemy still occupied Petersburg. Major Mai: ton was killed in an assault Nothing has been heard from Sherman or Hunter.

E. M. Staotoh, Secretary of Grsf'ral erhrrldun'' Operation. Washington. Jnne 18.

11 P. M. Dispatches from General Sheridan have just been received. He reports a victory over the enemy at Trovalian Station, on the Central a few miles sonth of Gordonsville, whore Gen. Lee, few days since, reported a rebel victory.

The official report israsfob lows; e.f, "I have the honor to report to yon the arrival of my command at this point, and also, to report its operations since leaving New Castle Ferry, I crossed the Pa mnnky river on the 7th marching via and encamped on Honey Creek. On th morning of the 8th I resumed the march via Calicot Station and encamped three miles west of the Station. On the Oth I marched through Childshnrg and New Market, encamping on Erie Creek, near Young's Bridge.T On the 10th I marched via" Andrew's Tavern and Train's Store, crossing both branches of the North Anna, and encamped at Buckchilds', about eight miles northeast of Travelain Station. My intention was to break the railroad at this station, march Mechanics ville, cut the Gordonsville and Charlottesville Railroad near Lindsay's House, and then to march on Charlottesville. But on our arrival at Bmkchild's I found the en emy's cavalry in my immediate front.

On the morning ol the 11th, General Torbet, with, his division, and Colonel Oregg, General Gregg's division, attacked the enemy. After an ohstinate contest they drove him from successive lines of breastworks, through an almost impassable forest, back on Trevalain station. In the meantime Genural was ordered with his brigade to proceed by a country road so as to reach tho sta tion in me rear oi me enemy cavalry. On. sftsf arrival at this point the enemy broke into a complete ront.

This was thoroughly done, the ties burned and the rails rendered unser 'I'he destruction of the railroad occupied until o'clock of this day, when I directed General Torbet to ad vance with bis division and General Da vis Brigade, of General Gregi's Divis ion, in the direction of Gordonsville and attack the enemy, who had concentrated and been reinforced during the night, and had also constructed rme pits at a point about five miles from Gordonsville. The advance was made, but as the enemy's position was found too strong to atsanlt. no general attack was made.

On the ex rreme right onr lines a portion of the reserve brigade carried the enemy's works twice and was twice driven thnrefroitt infantry. Night closed the contest. found a portion of the command there without a sufficiency of ammunition to continue the engagement. The next day trains of cars also came down to where we were engaged with the enemy. reports of prisoners and eitiaelis Were that Pickett's old division was coming to prevent the taking of Gordonsville.

therefore, during 'the. night and next morning withdrew my command ever the North Anna, via Carpenter's Ford; near Miner's Bridge In addition, the animals Were for the two entire days in which we were engaged, without forage. The surrounding country afforded nothing but graaing of an inferior quality and generally at such points as were inaccessible to Ui.
