We have received New York papers of Thursday, the 9th instant. The fight at Hatcher's run — an unfortunate opening of Grant's campaign — he Tries to intercept Lee in Evacuating Richmond. The secret of Grant's movement on Monday last, which resulted in his disaster at Hatcher's run, is published in the Yankee papers. Hatcher's run, is published in the Yankee papers. It appears that he had received intelligence that Lee was going South, and made his movement to intercept him. His losses, as they appear to us from the different news letters, were three brigadier-generals--Gregg, of the cavalry, and Morrow and Davies, of the infantry, wounded, and one thousand killed and wounded.

Since the 5th instant no fighting has occurred on the Petersburg lines.--Grant seems to have made good his hold on the position on Hatcher's run, and is still strengthening his entrenchments thrown up there. The Yankee papers acknowledge this last attempt of Grant to be a signal failure, though they of course lie about his loss. This we must expect. It is part of their system of carrying on the war to magnify their successes and conceal their losses. From persons who have visited the battle-field, we learn that the Yankee loss last Monday was not less than fifteen hundred. Grant set out to seize the Southside railroad.

On the 23d ultimo, a detachment of Captain Shadburne's scouts tapped the Yankee telegraph wire in about one mile of Cabin Point. The Yankees soon discov
