            JUNE 27TH.—Bright and hot—afterward light showers.

            By the papers we learn that President Lincoln has been on a visit to Grant’s army. If Grant does not accomplish some great wonder in a few days, his campaign will be noted a failure, even in the North.

            We learn to-day that gold is now at $2.15 in the North.

            The raiders are beginning to pay the penalty of their temerity; besidesHampton’s fight with them, on this side theJames River, we learn that W. H. F. Lee has struck them a blow on the south side.
