There is a. great scarcity of hotels, and I found some diffi- culty in getting a room and bed, but I am finally comfortably settled in the hotel Pharoux, located in a very pleasant por- tion Of the city, and commanding a fine view of a portion of the bay and the ad- joining hills. After the usual delays I succeeded in having my valise passed through the “ Alfandega.’ ’ What novel sights and sounds greet me here. The sense of hearing is wound- ed by the confused jabbering of blacks in the language of Congo or Mozambique, the shouts of boat owners, and oaths of American and English sailors. Throngs 0f peddlers with loads upon their heads, who sing wild Ethiopean ditties or pro- claim their coming by the most unearthly sounds my imagination ever pictured.— The streets are mostly narrow, except ’Rua Deirata, which is wide and well paved. Here I am in a land where “ Slides the bird on lustrous woodland, Swings the trailer from the crag, Droops the leavy blossomed bowcrs, Hangs the heavy fruited tree, Summer isles of Eden, lying in dark pur- ple spheres of sea." I would be glad to give you an ides: of a sunset at sea, in the tropics, but no painter can reproduce the rich gold orange and purple, fading into the most delicate tints and then into the dark blue of the heavens above.

We were at Bahia all day. A party of us landed and roamed through the city, and into forrests which extend within 2 miles of the town. We came upon a deep ra- vine through which ran a stream of water and where were women washing clothes. Around us were tall trees bearing a fruit called Jaca. The fruit is about the size of a 6 qt. jug, nearly round and hangs from the large limbs and also from the body where there are no limbs. We broke them open and found them filled with small juicy lumps, very delicious and of a very peculiar flavor. Brazil has plenty of melons, but I do not like them. Their best oranges are "green as grass. Last evening I visited the Passio Publi- ' co, which is said to be the most pleasant park or public promenade in the city. I was delighted, for there I found over- hanging trees, rare plants, blooming flow- ers, cool fountains, and on the side front- ing the bay, 9. large terrace, from which is a fine view of the Gloria Hill, the dist- ant sugar-loaf, and far beyond the rolling ocean I again visited the place this morning before breakfast, but was stop ped at the gate by the police, (the police are all armed with muskets,) who inform- ed me I must not enter. Alas, for me, the morning was warm, and for the sake of comfort I had walked out minus collar and cravat, without which no person is allowod to enter a Publico Passio, a gon- dola or omnibus. Otherwise I was dress- ed in the most aristocratic Brazillian style,—light pants and vest, and black coat. My companions entered in tri- nmph, rejoicing in black silk neck ties.

Press. .‘gpr.~— WE seems not improbable that gold will reach 200. The speculators and gamblers in Wall street, half of them rebel sympathir zers, have determined that it shall, and have large bets on that result. Its rise ought to have no significance, or influence upon other values. It is in spite of our bright military prospects, in spite of the abundance of every uccessary and even luxury of life. It can- not, either, be wholly due to the expansion of the currency, for the extreme fluctuations of gold in the past two months bear no re- lation to the actual amount of currency in circulation. The fact is that the gold in the country is not the basis of our currency, and very likely never will be, and the idea that it . is, creates much of the mischief. There has never been a time when the bank notes in circulation could begin to be redeemed in gold. Faith in them was based upon the real estate or the good stocks which stand behind the ba'nk.‘ When the banks suspen- ded specie payment, which they invariably did if anybody attempted to test 'the fiction that their notes . were redeemable in gold, we still took the notes, and got on just as well. Now the credit of tho greenbacksresls upon the belief in the stability of the govern- ment. Our currency hereafter will be based, not upon any supposed amount of specie locked up in the vaults, but upon the nation- al debt, the United States stocks. Gold, as a currency, is'really less important to , us than ever, and the daily heating it up and down in Wall street ought not to be permit- ted to regulate the price ‘of meat and flour and coal. One Jew bets another that gold will be 200 July 1st,-the telegraph reports a sale, and the butcher charges us 50 cents for a bit of steak not so big as a baby’s hand.

Moj.-Gencml Dim : A dispatch from Gen. Grant dated 6 o’clock received. It is as follows. The cnemy came over on our left last evening, and attacked. They were easily repulsed and with consid- erable slaughter. To relieve Gen. Warren who was on the left, speedily, Gen. Meade ordered an attack by the balance of our lines. Gen. Hancock was the only one who receiv- ed the order in time to make the attack. be- fore dark. He drove the enemy from his entrenched skirmish line, and still holds it. I have no report of our losses, but suppose them to be light. Other oflicial dispatches not from Gen. Grant, were received at the same time and giva more details. They are dated yesterday the 30th of May, 8 o’clock I’. M. In the course of the P. M., Warren has pushed down on our left until his flank division, under Crawford reached a point abreastof Shady Grove Church. Crawford having got detached from the rest of the corps was attacked and crowded back a little. The enemy then threw a force, which appears to have consisted of Ewell,s corps, upon V’Vnrren’s left, attempting to turn it, but was repulsed. The engagement was short, sharp and decisive. ‘Wuiren holds his round at a distance of seven miles from ichmond. He reports that he has taken a considemble number of prisoners and flint there are many rebel dead on the field. Of his losses he has not yet mad 1 report. His latest dispatch says that the emy are moving troops to his left, apparently to COVer the approach to Richmond. On our right an active conflict has been raging ever since dark, but was just closed. As soon as the enemy attacked the left of Warren, Wright and Hancock were ordered to pitch in, but do not seem have got ready until after nightfall. ,No report has yet been received from them. 'The , other dispatch above referred to is dated at 6 o’clock _this A. M. and states, ' night, Col.

Creek, last evening and is in full co n- nection with Warren’s. The left of Hancock rests upon this side of the Creek. The 6th corps is upon Hancock’s right and threatens the left flank of the enemy. Smith ought to arrive at Newcastle by noon, whence he can support Warren and Burnside if necessa- ry. Sheridan's, Gregg’s, and Torbet’s divis- ions of cavalry are on our right flank; Wilson is on the left and rear, for purposes reported in former dispatchk-The country therea- bouts is thickly wooded with pines, with few good openings.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, , - June2,——10:15 P. M. To Maj. Gem'Dzio: A'_ dispatch from Gen. Grant’s headquarters, dated yesterday, June 1st, at 10 a. m., has been received by this department. It states that about 5 p. in. yesterday, Sheridan perceiving a force of rebel cavalry at Cold Harbor, which proved to be Fitz Hugh Lee’s division, attacked, and after a hard fight routed it, together with Clingman’s brigade of infantry, which came to Lee’s support. . Sheriden remained in possession of the place. He reported at dark that he had a considerable number of prisoners,_aud that there were many rebel dead and wounded on the field.‘ He was ordered to hold the position and at 10 p. m. the 6th corps was sent out to occupy it. We have not yet heard from Wright or Sheridan this morning and do not know whether the former got his troops to their destination. Smith must be close upon Wright’s column. This morning the enemy are also moving in the same direction. The order has just gone out to Warren to fall upon their flank. Wilson had a fight last evening near Han- over Court House with Young’s brigade of cavalry.

DIx : A dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated this morning, J une 2d, at Bethseda Church, 7 O’clock, has just been received. It states that yesterday afternoon an at- tack was ordered to be made on our left at Cold Harbor, by the 6th corps, the troops under Smith, Warren, Burnside and Han- cock, being held in readiness to advance in their respective fronts. The attack was made with spirit, about 5 o’clock p. m., continuing until after dark, resulting in our carrying the enemy’s works on the right of the 6th corps, where we still hold them, and also the first line in front of Smith. The latter, however, were comman- ded by another line in the rear, which made those carried untenable. The enemy made assaults on each of the corps not engaged in the main assault, but were repulsed with loss in every instance.— Several hundred prisoners were taken out I cannot say what number, nor estimate either our or the enemy’s causalties. During the night the enemy made several assaults to re ain what they had lost, but failed. 0 dispatches from any other quarter have been received at this department to- day. E. M.

Grant made an assault on the enemy’s lines, of which he makes the fol- lowing report: - “We assaulted at 4:30 this morning, driving the enemy within his cntrenchments at all points, but without gaining any decisive ad- vantage. Our troops now occupy a position close to the enemy, at some places within lib y yards and are remaining. Our loss Was not severe, nor do I suppose the enemy to have lost. heavily. We captur- ed over three hundred prisoners, mostly from Breckinridge." Another later but official report, not from Gen. Grant, estimates the number of our killed and wounded at about three thousand. The following officers are among the kill- ed: Col. Haskell 36th Wisconsin; Col, Por- ter,‘8th N. Y. heavy artillery; Col. Morris, 66th N. Y. Among the wounded are Gen. R. 0.
