The following " war news " is fjom the Dis patch of the 4th : The following official dispatch froin Gen Lee, received at the War Department late Friday night was made public :pn Sitardav, njorniog : IIeadq'rs Armt Northern Va., ) July 1st, 18G4. f Hon. Secretary of War : , Gen. Beauregard reports a feeble demonstra tion mad by tlie encmj on a portion of Geo. John son's lines about 5?p. mi, yesterday. - His tkir ifiisUers, supported by two linea of troops, drove ia onr line of skirmishers, which was re-esta.blish e3 at dark. , Iq the various contacts with the enemy a cav- horse?, ordnance stores, and several hnndrcd ne groe?, tken from the plantations on their route, were captured. . R. E. LEE, General. This confirms the news before received of tie gnmraar " taking. off " of Wilson's raiding party and puts the number of prisoners'about as high as any previous estimate. As the swamps and woods of Dinwiddie arc knbwn tp abound with Yankees, separated from their main bdy, theiptures will probably vet amount to au " entire brigade." But, after there is but little satisfaction in making priaozfers of thes- men Their keeping j3 cxpen- sive, and at some future day their exchange will ive them a liceu:0 to cctno and fight us again. In consideration of the enormity of the crimes of these .raider?, their plundering, house burning find desolating the country generally, it would be in accordance with the rules of justice to make an example ofthsm, even to the estremest mode of punishment; and at the same time fully in accor dance with the fule3 of warfare which they have themselves inaugurated. . Amon? the prisoners brought in on Frilay was Ool. Daniel J. Crooks, of the 22d New York cav alry. ANo, one representative of the Northern press, who avc the name of Ira 15. Van Gilden, reporter for the New York Times and Philadelphia V. Rather an abrupt termination to the ca reer of a newspaper man, but it serves him right for being caught in such bad company. - All the facts we. have learned in connection with the final event of:. Wilson's raiders at Stony Creek confirm the account given j by our corres poodent, and published ic Saturday's paper. A repetition is, therefore, unnecessary. So severely wore the Yankees punished in Dinwiddie that they will hardly venture upon a similar expedition again for some timo to come. 1 On Friday night, shortly after 10 o'clock, the inhabitants of. Petersburg were aroused by heavy tiring on the lines, commencing" apparently on our centre aud extending around to the left. For ome twenty or thirty miuutes the firing was very rapid, and many thought a general engagement had been initiated, but it soon ceased and all again become quiet. On Saturday it was ascertained rthat the principal firing was from batteries l and 10,and was occasioned by a supposed advance of the enemy. Nothing occured on Saturday except the nsn.d shelling on the part of the Yankees, which has thus far had little effect beyond the disturbing of women and children. Certainly, it has produced no impressioa upon our soldiers in the field further than to heighten their contempt for a race who would engage in such dastardly business. 1 " Yesterday morning the booming of heavy guns in the distance was heard in elevated situa tions in Richmond, and straightway, being Sun day, rumor set about explaining the cause. So a report was soon busily circulated that Beaure gard had opened upon the enemy with at least one hundred pieces of artillery, and the impres sion was created that the armies in front of Pe tersburg were having a lively time of it. It was supposed that Graut had anticipated his fourth of July celebration by one day, and it. was with some. anxieiy that a crowd awaited the arrival of the cars at tho Petersburg depot. The train came in at half pist C o'clock, and passengers were olosely questioned as to the situation. The reply Was, universally, that nothing unusual had occur red daring the day. The firing in the morning was no more than the customaTj shelling, and that ceased entirely about midday. A gentleman who was at Gen. Lee's headquar ters yesterday states that the enemy had'advanca rd some portion of their line nboat one hundred yards, but at what point he did not .exactly know.' It ia currently reported - that the enemy have contracted their line by withdrawing their left from the Weldon railroad, and this has given rise to the conjecture that Grant is throwing-a con siderable foiceover the north side of the James river. If.this be so, the fact will sjen develop3 itself. - The impression is general that the enemy will make a licjyy attack upon our lines to day. This is predicated upon the supposition that Grant will C3say to celebrate the 4th of July and tho capitu lation of Viftksbure by an attempt to capture Pe tersburg? but he will find the latter somewhat harder ioad to travel than the one ho walked over a vear aro. - - Many persons heard, or fancied they heard, rapid d"iscKarge8 of cannon vesterdoy afternoon, accompanied with musketry firing, and a rumor was soon circulated that the enemyiad roaue an cither raid upon tho Danville tailroad, tapping it s the Tomahawk station, eighteen roues from Bichmond. It is almost needless to add that this report was nnfounded. The firing, if theje was any, was probably the enemy's gunboats shelling the woods down the river. No official dispatches were received at the War Department last night from any quarter. " ' FROM THE NORTn.

Neither of these is possible. The p issage of the 200,000 conscription law, with out the exemption cliuse, alluded to in another pr tion'of this,day's issue produces neither surprise nor alaim.. It confirms the terrible losses of Grant and Sherman, and was, indeed! passed in view of the latter. So at least says the New York Herald. Grant and Sherman have lost, within the last two months, nearly men enough to balance the whole nutfiber raised by this law. Put them in their hands, and they will get them killed on in a very short time, in the. meantime the conscription of 200,000 men unconditionally, is apt to work lavorably for peace in iNew England, ihe scoundrels there who up trie uepietea ranK-s 01 tne Yankee armies, and a I Xxfu T wiaiacioniy-setuea. ppeedv cruslu'nc out of the rebellion Hnnr h- why should he go to Washington ?

They must flht themselvas, and be ing obliged to do it, they will be the loudest mouth ed friends of peace in the whole Yankee States. The Examiner of the 4th of July has the follow ing.editorial on the situation of the two armies: This may be the most eventful day of the war. There are many and strong reasons to believe that General Grant has. determined to celebrate it by a combined attack on both; Richmond and Petersburg. Ue knows that he cannot keep his army in the position it has held since he crossed the river. His camps are pitched on tho most unhealthy ground in Virginia. Hundreds of acres of what is called sore marsh, covered every day by water, and the ooze left by tide drud by the sun, are close around hjm Our army holds the high and healthy ground and the good wells.. In this positidn we can afford to be idle and Grant cannot. Nor is he the man to be idle without -excellent cause. He has been quiet for ome time, because time was needed, after all those' repulses, to screw his army up to the fighting point? again. . He has probably! prolonged the period of rest in order to make final trial on this, the national holiday. It has once proven a lucUy day to him; but apart from personal considerations, its associa tions and their effect on the minds of his men, are legitimate etemenfs in a military calculation. Regarding o.Jy these general reasons, it would seem hihly probable, both that Grant would fight shortly, and fight on this particular day in prefers ence to all.others. The apparent intelligence, -both from the northern and southern bank of the James, is, in the higest degree confirmatory of supposition. In dications not to be a mistaken point to an assault or a gigantic bombardment of Petersburg thi morning perhaps both will be tried before the sun sets. Warren's corps, said to be the largest and best of Grant's army, is reported in mo. ion towards the northern backs of the James, arid may attack the lines of the city with violence while Gen. Lee is en gaged in withstanding or expecting the assaults at Petersburg. The army of Nornhcrn Virginia is in perfect order and SDlcndid condition. While it is admitted that the dwellings of the people of Petersburg, may be damaged to some extent by bombardment, a feeling of boundUss confidence as to the military result per vades both ihe army and the population. This con fidence is greater than what is desirable, or tuan what is reasonable. e have abundant lorce to withstand the enemy this day ; but only on the con dition that the people and army are well aware of the necessity to put forth all .that strength, lhis is a day when no soldier ot any description can be spared fiom duty. Every man should be underarms on this Fourth of July, not on the lines of Peters burg alone, but especially and- tor a graver reason, on the lines of Richmond. V The Richmond Examiner of the 4th says: The citv was undisturbed by even a rumor until yesterday evening, .when it was reported, upon what authority we could not learn, mat a xxorinem paper of theOih June bad been received, which stated that, urjcn the receiDt of the news of the defeat of Sherman and Kantz, the yankee Congress had ta ken up the military-bill and abolished the three nun ndred dollar clauseby an overwhelming majority. it was said the same paper quoted gom at THE SITUATION ABOUT RICHMOND AND PETERSBURG HUMORED QKAND ATTACK OF THE ENEMY TO-DAY. It was the general impression in the army last evening that Granf was preparing fir a grand com bined attack on Petersburg and Richmond this mornutg. He was certainly actively shifting the positions of bis forces. New " troops were being placed in front of Petersburg,, whilst others, who had been there since the beginning of -the seige were withdrawn. It was. believed to be satisfacto rily ascertained that Warren's army corps bad been thtown across to the north bank of James river. near Deep Battom. Tbe Yankees have removed the obstructions recently sunk f by them in Trent's Reach.

The fight of Tuesday and Tuesday ! night near bapponi church, was most hotly contested, and con tinued from op. m, of Jaiesday, until after sunrise on Wednesday morning. Then it wa.that we turned the enemy's flank, and caused him to run for Reams' Station, with all the rapidity which-' his much iaded horses would , allow. Gen. ChamblissV command acted a conspicuous part in this fight, and the old Petersburg company of cavalry suffered the loss of its commander, (Japt. YYinireej of Uhesterfleld. Tins is the fourth Captain the Petersburg cavalry nas lest since the war commenced, i jfc isher, Jordan, Jettr and Winirce, all now sleep in their graves was also among the killed. There' were other cas ualties, and many noble spirits from this vicinity fell to rise no more. Wc hope toj have a full list forwarded to lis at an early day. i . prisoners. ! In this fight several hundred prisoners j were fa-, ken, which have never seen Petersburg nor, Rich mond, and probably never will, but we have con versed with a half dozen gentlemen who saw them en route for the prison depot in Georgia. None es timate the number"at less than 500, and. many put it as high as TOO. W.e have I already received'in this city about 400 prisoners unhurt and 135 younded, Squads of two, three Jour, and more have been coming in daily since the fighr, and continue to come in. As they were scattered in every . direction during their flight; they will doubtless come in for several days yet, and we may safely estimate the losses of the enemy in prisoners alone at 1200-or more. We also captured many hundred small arms, and 60,000 rounds of ammunition. MORE CANNON. Our cavalry succeeded in finding two additional pieces of cannon in the ftottoway river, j between Stony Creek and Jarratt's Depot, Jast, Saturdays These pieces were beautiful mountain; howitzers, such as are generally used by -cavalry. They are. uninjared, and will be brought into service imme diately. Tbey will make our total captures in artil lery 15 pieces, and prisoners say that this is the sum total taken out by the eaemy. horses.- A Confederate officer who reached here from BeK field, station on the Petersburg and Weldon Rail road yesterday, says- we have captured all of 3,000 horses, although the enemy killed at least 800 or 1,000. The horses that have fallen into ocr posses sion, are much exhausted, but can for the most pan be recuperated, and made to render good service in he Confederate cause. . j . . j j .- THE ROBBERIES OF THE ENEMY. ; A gentlemen who left Burkeville Junction Friday, and by walking much of , the way, reached here Sat urday nieht. informs us that Wilson's thieves seem ed more intent on plunder , in their late raid, than 1 has jever been thecase previously. They robbed ladies of breastpin3, ear-rings and fingen-ringsv ? When the. rings vw.ere not surrenderedquietly, one of the ruffians would hold the victim in his strong arms while another would remove the jowelry. La dies' dresses, from the under garment to their rich est silks, were- stolen indiscriminately. -1 Many of the wagons stolen were heavuy Jnegntea witn every description of ladies' wearing apparel. X MAMMOTH .SCHEME OF OPERATIONS CONFESSED A yankee Major of seeming respectability, and considerable intelligence revealed to a Confederate Captain a most extended programme, which had been chalked out by Grantbut which, by the vigilance and energy of our officers and men, has been frus trated. This nicer atates that Wilson and Kantz were to'efftct a .' most thorough destruction of the Southside and Danville . Railroad, but were to part company this side of Danville. Wilson was to come dovin through the rich counties of Charlotte, Lu nenburg, Brunswick, Mecklenburg; Greenville, and Sussex, stealing all the horses and negroes which could be found in his vray, and again enter Grant's lines by way. of Stony Creek ; and if i this point proved impracticable, to come out jwhere he entered at Reams' -Station. Kantz was to proceed to Din ville from thence to Greensboro', then on to Raleigh, and hence on the Raleigh and Gaston Rriiroad U Weldon. At the latter place, the bridge was to be burned, and Kanz was then to make fbr-the Black water and come around through'Southampton, Suin rv Sussex, and rnncc uwrgc w uraui UH-. ter 8 Tnis omcer siavca wt lui; wiuwmw i-t n oiwMit piht thousand: that tbey were snlendldly armed and equipped ; well mounted; had u.a mn - n.l thaL in all respects, it was intend- eU to have the grandest raid of;tfa war, far feclfpsing all similar expeditions, either east orwest, not ex ceptimr Grierson's greAt f tramp througrrlCssissippv and Sherdan'sxontemplated march to.Gordonsville, CbarlotteavUle, , Lynchbarft etc,!

" .Baring the past forty-eight honrs, there has evidently been considerable commotion in Grant s ArnjJ TDe clouds of dust seen constantly arising in various parts of h!s line during the day, indicate with most unerring icertainty the truth of fhi I sertion, and the prtsumptiori is.' that the greater ry.u vi auve operations, is conducted after nightfall. i . ;1 , I ' IVjs positively Known that he has greatly con tracted his linea around the city, having withdrawn an army corps or more from his extreme loft which until Saturday extended to Dr. Gurley'a wur-nmra or aeam s ctation, and about two miles to the east of the Peterebusg and I if ciuou xvoau. iMs reasons tor this contraction are not known, but two or threes causes suggest themselves to our mind. Ilia' idea of circumvSla tiog the city, so as to include the Weldon, South side and Danville Railroads, has been completely exploded by the recent disastrous termination of his grand Wilson raid : but had that raid Droved success, it would have required at least 1,250,0C0 men to have securely guarded a linn ay(a J such a length. Again, the point to which he had extended his left, offered ... ' f""fe van, iu the ever vigilant Mahone. that it had hn a,; flanked, and a large number of prisoners gathered into the -Confederate net, to aay ; nothing of the1 many which fell to rise no mor in tK K,iti fli a !

Prisnnprs tatn confirm this, and say that there 'has-been rrt sufleriiig in camp for water. During one of the late engagement in that section, a General barely1 escaped capture,1 while endeavoring to slake his1 thirst over a little mud puddle in the woods. Two1 of his Aids were not so fortunate, and our soldiers1 captured tiiera on the much coveted spot. great Ulysses several Very demonstrative evidences df their efficiency, despite the opinion of himself and sfficers to the contrary, arid although a trite, it is nevertheless a true adage, li that a burnt child dreads the fire." j , i . A day or two will j moreu fully develop the ins tehtions of Grant, but'out readers need not be sur-. prised to hear of another grancl movement on the1 part of this now notorious migrating Yankee com mander. Should he jmake up hjs mind to leave the Petersburg front,! thsre will be no tears shed in this section at his departure. THE HEAVY FIRING FRIDAY NIGHT. The heavy firing of Friday night, alluded to briefly in yesterday's -Express, was caused by a mistaken notion which pcemed to have seized our pickets that tre enemy wereadvaneing in force. It proved to be without founflttion; and resulted, only in a little unnecessary waste of ammunition. ; THE CAPTURED tVAGONs ; The captured wagorutrain on Thursday, included Wilson's Headquarter; and private wagons.

We learned laH bight' that the enejuoy have erected a lunette fort on Rushmore's farm, which mounts three heavy ; guns.. This ia on the Citjr Point Railroad, about four miles below Petersburg. Thisjfort ia intended no doubt, to play! upon the-batteries which the enemy complains of in late Northern journals as- being on the Chesterfield Heights. These batterie?, the Yankee correspondent says have an. noyed them very mach hut say they have found it impos sible to silence them. j REMOVAL OF TROOPS. . ! We learn from a source entirely reliable, that the enemy embarked a large number of troops at City Point on Thurs day last. The men occupied five large transports, and the boats af?eared to be crowded to overflowing. ; Whether .'these were men wboselteTms of service has expired, or whose removal from Grant's army have been rendered ne cessary for operations elsewhere, we are unable to say. We fhall probably receive additional light ere long. LATEST. : Heavy cannonading commenced last night about 10 o'clock on our left. Oneiof the guns used was a whopper, and each explosion shook the city.
