Amherst say that they belong to Stahl's command, which is the left wing of Averill's command, and 2,000 strong. Hunter is reported to be moving on Lynchburg via Lexington, but he will necessarily have to move slow, as his infantry and wagon trains cannot be brought over the mountain road with celerity. Of the movement of our troops it is needless to speak, as a few days' developments will render it unnecessary. I shall probably remain at this place until communication is securely and permanently established, as my facilities for sending you the news from this quarter will be as good here as in Lynchburg. B. The late Lieut. Oen, Polk. The following official announcement of the death of this officer was received by the President yesterday: Marietta, June 14, 1864. To His Excellency Jefferson Davis.

s localities. As an excuse for robbing the inhabitants of their provisions, Grant's men alleged that they were hard pressed for something to eat, which was no doubt the truth. Another Demonstration against Petersburg. Various rumors, were in circulation yesterday relative to another advance of the enemy upon Petersburg. We learned last night that at an early hour yesterday morning a force approached Petersburg by the City Point road; were engaged during the day with our troops at Dearing's farm, two miles distant from the city, and were driven back. On application at headquarters to learn the situation of affairs, we failed to obtain any information whatever; but though it lacks official confirmation, the reader may rely upon the correctness of the above statement. Rumor magnified this affair into a direct attack upon Petersburg, the capture of the second line of fortifications, and gave a high coloring to the picture generally; but rumor in this instance was decidedly at

the enemy have had a large number of negroes busily employed for several days past in throwing up breast works to the west, facing Richmond. These works extend for a distance of four or five miles, and are a few miles east of Malvern Hill. They are probably intended as a blind to cover Grant's real purpose and destination. We have nothing further from Sheridan's gang of raiders, save a report, seemingly well authenticated, that they have crossed the Pamunkey at Piping Tree Ferry, and Stone to look for Grant. The pressure of Hampton's cavalry was more than they could stand, and the "most beneficial expedition of the war," alluded to by the Northern papers, has probably been given up. The enemy's abandoned fortifications in Hanover. When the enemy crossed the Pamunkey at Hanover Town and New Castle Ferry, it was supposed that they meditated an advance upon Richmond by the Meadow Bridges, and consequently fortifications were thrown up by our troops on the south of Potat

The only information received yesterday from this quarter was a report that the enemy had burnt the Court-House of Campbell county, which is confirmed by the letter which we give below: [from our own correspondent.] Concord Depot, June 14--2 P. M. I left Lynchburg this morning at 9 o'clock, and reached this place, which is on the Southside Railroad, thirteen miles from Lynchburg, at noon.

train, cut the telegraph wire, and tore up and burned fifty or sixty yards of the track. The track is now repaired and trains passing over it, and the telegraph wire will be connected in a short time, and an office established at this place. No private buildings were burned, nor any private property destroyed, with the exception of the store-room and contents belonging to Mr. J. L. Arrington, the Depot Agent at this place. The party left here this morning about daybreak, and went to Campbell C. H. and burned the Court-House. Their object in visiting the Court House, was to capture Gen. Longstreet, who has been sojourning there since he was wounded. The General, however, left that place during the day yesterday for a place of safety. The general situation about Lynchburg may be summed up in a few words.

--Grant's change. Of base — Sheridan's raiders — fighting near Petersburg — the movements near Lynchburg, &C. The only report we have to make from "the front" this morning is a confirmation of Grant's sudden charge of base to Westover, on James river, coupled with the additional fact that he has sent a portion of his troops to the White House, with the view of shipping them from that point to same place hereafter to be developed.--Westover is in Charles City county, about eight miles belohe west, facing Richmond.
