June 7 dispatches deny a Hunter victory beyond Staunton Virginia and confirm Gen Jones was killed. Jones successor retreats to Waynesboro and holds mountains between Charlottaville and Staunton. Other papers note no hospitals or shores captured and Staunton occupation. Secretary Chase reportedly negotiates a 50 million dollar loan with six percent certificates. Richmond papers record Yankee prisoners and Grant assaults on Kershaw Hoke and Breckinridge line with heavy losses, Gaines mill aim, and a partial Breckinridge gain that was later reversed.
