Upou the whole, tho situation indicates the destruction ol tne mam annus ot tne rebel lion in lime to increase the rejoicing lliuu der of the Fourth of July. Washington, Juno 2d. A dispatch has been received by tho War IVpnrtnieut from (icii.

'(.leu. Casev's division, which was in the first line, gave way, causing temporary confusion, during which the guns and bag iraire were lost. Hut Hen. Ileintzelmaiiaiid Hen. Kearny most gallanlly brought up their troops, which checked Hie enemy. At the same time the divisions of Gen Sedirewiek and tJ on. Richardson were brought across the river mid drove hack the enemy at the point of the bayonet, cov ering the ground with Ins dead. This morning the rebels attempted to re new the eonllict but were everywhere re pulsed. We have taken many prisoners, a mom them Gen. Fettigrew and Col. Long. Our loss is heavy, and the enemy's must be enor uious, Excepting Gen. Casey's division the men behaved splendidly, and several fine bavonet charges were made Dispatches have been received by the ar Department, Irom don. .Mel leiian, which indicate the speedy occupation of llichmond. The latest advices in regard to the fight before Richmond, represent the battle as of great importance and that the Union success was undoubted. Dispatches of an unofficial character, re ceived from the headquarters of the Army of the Fotomae, say the importance and dimensions of our victory increase as the particular are developed. During the whole time of the battle be fore IVehmomI every movement of the ene my was reported from a balloon two then sand feet in the air, which connected with the headquarters of (Jen.

June 2d. According to the statement of prisoners the ohj-vt of t!i? enemy's at tack on McCleHun's lef: wing, ycstenliy. was to reach the r'vir, ard thus cut oil' our line of communieatio.i. Tais was the prp.irt of m a.K'.ress to the troops before raving R'climond in the uuriui: the HiM c cavalry, Was sent out, Wednesday night, to destroy the bridge of tho Mobile and Ohio Railroad, 40 miles south of Corinth, and after forced marches by day mid night, through n very difficult country, they final ly succeeded in reaching the Railroad at F.oonvillc, and destroyed the track in many places south and north of the town. They blew up one culvert and destroyed the switch and track and burned up the depot. A large amount of commissary stores were captured together with three pieces of ar tillery. Thov took several hundred pris oners, and found 'J.oOO sick wounded at liooneville. At tho depot they destroyed a locomo tive and n train of '.'( cars, loaded with supplies of every kind. They destroyed 1(1,000 stands of small arms and a great quantity of clothing, and parolled 2,000 prisoners. The enemy had heard of the movement, and had a train of box cars, with (lying artillery and 5,000 intuntry running up and down the road but did not succeed in preventing the complete success of the enterprise. The result will bo em barrassing to the enemy, and contribute greatly to their loss mid demoralization. 10, COO Prisoners Taken! Washington, June 4. Dispatches re ceived at the War Department from Hal lock's headquarters, says that Gen. Fopo, with 40,000 ineu, is b'O miles south of Cor inth, pushing the enemy hard. He already reports ho has taken 10,000 prisoners and 1 o,000 stand of arms. Thousands of the enemy were throwing away their amis. Our information also says that lJeauregard, on learning mat tne railroad on ins lino oi retreat had been cut off, became frantic, and told his men to save themselves as best Washington, Jane ol Dispatch- -sfrom OSS the armv before Richmond sav. Our during the two days engagement i:i killed nud wounded will amount to about two hundred. A great number are missing, who will probably return. All the enemy's killed snd most of tlieir wound' d fell into our hands. The country in which the bat tle was fought is swampy, an 1 mo:t cf the fighting was done in the woo ls. O wing to the nature of the ground, wry I'tti.' artille , ry was used. Four snp-irite bayoi:',t charges were made en Sun lay. In one in stance the enemy were driven a iii:h t'.::r i ig which one hundred nnd seventy-three rebels were killed with the bayonet alone. The enemy's dead left on tho field number. cd over twelve hundred. We have taken over live hundred prisoners, among; lieu being several prominent ofh.crs. The fight on Sunday was ernmencod a' daylight by Gen. Sumner, and lasted nearly the whole day. The ground trained by him readied over two and a half miles. A dispatch from McC'lelian, dated yes terday, says that the rebel o.'licers were un able to rally their troops this morning, and have retired towards Richmond. Oar men have moved forward to Fair Oak, live miles from the city. Jeff Davis and Gov. Letcher were both at the fight yesterday. A dispatch dated nine o'clock last night, say-.: Gen. Hooker made a reeomiois-anec to day on the Williamsburg turnpike, and went within four miles of Richmond with out meeting the enemy in force. Their pickets kept in fight, but retreated at his Approach. Kvcry one seems sanguine of the fall ol the rebel capital when our troops advance, for the engagement of Saturday nnd Sunday seals the fat" of the city. They threw trie main bO'iy ot thmr army, corn posed of their best troop, on our h-ft, with n view to crush it, and were defeated after two days hard fighting, nud fo.-ejd to re treat. Dispatches from Corinth say that our cavalry round nil the tents of tne enemy (daudiiig, and they took hundreds of bar rels ol beef and five thousand f-titnds of arm? in one encampment on the line o( the .Mobile nnd Ohio Railroad, paid to belong to (Jens. Van Dorn and Price, who left on Thursday night. Our cavalry have found the rebels in a strong position, with nrtilk ry posted, supported by infantry, on the H'vcral roads -ruling out of Corinth. The rebel co mi a mi co J moving their sick nnd wounded hist month. D 'fltircgard nnd RiMg'g did nut L ave till Thursday. Fetters from Corinth state that the evac uation of the place commr-ncr. d early in the week, nnd wni curried on in good order till our forces crowded too fast, when they wire obl'g"d to flee precipitately. It H understood that about half of the enemy's force went South, on the Mobile rind Ohio Riili'cid. Karly in tho wnk unoiler body ?'ippoi;d to number 30,000, went to G'emd Junction, nnd from ten to fifteen thou nnd to Ko-e-uth.

It it not pHMimeil (hut the part which went to the Grand Junction will make any stand there, but move down tho Mississippi Central Ilnilroud to Jackson, nnd thence, via the Southern Mississippi Railroad to Meridian, on the Mobile and Ohio rond, forming a junction with those who moved down tho hitler rond direct. The impression prevails that the destina tion of tho whole force is Richmond, which they can reach via Mobile. All expedition, 2,000 utron;.', of Federal they could. Wo captured nine locomo tives and a number of cars, one of the lo comotives is already in running order. Sev eral more will be captured in a few davs. '.o result is all that 1 could desire. Washington, June 3. Advices from the army of the Fotomae, dated yesterday af ternoon, show there was no lighting yes terday. Our ndvauce is considerably in front of the position occupied before Satur day's battle. The attack was commenced at one o'clock Saturday, bv four brigades, principally rom South Carolina, Virghiia, and Geor- :ia, attacking Casev s division, near the irrpi'.vo was disastrous to us.

The enemy stood lire, but in every instance lied before the b'.ycie.t. These divisions did nobly in ile'c.it ng the rebels at every point. The N. V.

It is a victory which shows that the people of Oregon aro free men, capable of self government, nnd pos sessed of patriotism, brains, and heart enough, to love their country, to detect the slimv snake of treason under n gossamer covering of " democracy," nnd then put their heels on the viper, with an enthusiasm that touches demagogues and political Ju dases that the day is past when despotism can pass us democracy, anarchy ns govern ment, and when wolves can sneak into the official fold because they have taken the precaution to wrap their hunger pinched carcasses and bloody jaws in tho tleeces of south-downs In the late glorious triumph ol the Union ticket, by even a greater majority than we anticipated, the voting masses have viudi eatcii tiicii.se; ves irom ttio implied charge uf ignorance, stupidity, and treachery mad against them by the nomination of the rebel ticket at Corvallis.

We confess to a holy desire to inteu.-ify it, if we could would be Congressman that there is no use any longer iu running for olliee on the strength of what the old democratic parly has done heretofore. Tho people have brains enough to see (if he hasn't) that tho secession party, to which ho belongs, is not tho old democratic parly, nnd that if his party is even descended from it, it is no more like its mother than tho coarsest wool-covered oyster wench is like what we imagine '.ho beautiful Kvo was, from whom, according to Scripture, the secession can- lidates nnd llio niggers both descended. Rut even admitting what tho rebels claim, that the secession bruto is tho same demo cratic cow that used to givo such ft lino pailful of milk, everybody is for turning J her out to starve on the commons since she has taken to putting her feet iu the bucket and switching her nasty tail into the face of the milkmaid every time she is slopped uud paileil.
