Petersburg, Va., July 30, 1864. At length there is an and to the lull in the battle storm hereabouts, and Grant, tired of the indiscriminate slaughter that has attended his efforts to destroy Gen. Lee's army by assaulting its breastworks, having some time since betaken himself to sapping and mining, to-day sprung a mine near the centre of our lines, in Bushred Johnson's front, on the Boxter road, about one and a half miles below town. Our officers were not taken altogether by surprise, and yet the men on whose line the explosion occurred were considerably demoralized. As early as 2 o'clock this morning Gen. Lee sent word around his lines that the enemy were making demonstrations along the lines in front of Bermuda Hundred, but that it was by no means unlikely-that the real attack might be made somewhere else. In obedience to this suggestion everything in the department of the Army of Northern Virginia was on the qui vive. About five o'clock this morning the mine was

btained, it is believed that it will be found that the rebel force at present in the Valley and reported to be at Martinsburg and other points is none other, than the recent force of raiders, who, finding that they were no longer pursued by any large force, suddenly turned and fell upon our small force under General Crook, with the object of driving him back beyond the Potomac and free the Valley from Union troops, so as to be enabled to gather the crops of the Valley, so vitally important to Lee's army. The telegraph line is working West as far as Harper's Ferry, but it is in the exclusive use of the military authorities. Trains are running regularly to Frederick and Harper's Ferry. There is no excitement here and very little apprehension, though, of course, proper precautionary measures are in progress.

ly the springing of a mine, or a succession of mines, under the batteries of our army, for that was no new operation. General Lee knew he had been mining for some time; every officer and man in our army knew it, all Petersburg knew it, all Richmond the old and vulgar application of the engineer's trade to the destruction of an army in line of battle in the field. General Lee knew this perfectly, the rest of mankind knew that Grant was mining, but did not know that this was the big operation so long threatened by the Yankee journals.--General Lee waited silently, patiently, and without the slightest apprehension. At last — that is to say about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning--the explosion took place. It killed and wounded about a sd perhaps for a general battle. Grant was already withdrawing his troops from this side, whither he had sent them to make Lee divide his forces, when this assault was made. He will re-unite them now and try a grand battle, in which he will be badl
