Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.

COLD HARBOR, VA.,

June 9, 1864--10 p.m.
(Received 2.30 a.m., 10th.)

All quiet here since my last dispatch. A deserter who came into our lines this afternoon reports that Hunter's victory at Staunton was much more complete than the Richmond papers reported. Hunter took twenty cannon, many prisoners, and great quantities of stores. The force he defeated was recently a part of the command of Breckinridge.

C. A. DANA.
