was occupied this afternoon by portion
of our forces under Gen. Smith. AT tive
O'Clock a large force a rebel cavalry APP
peared and sent in a flag of truce and
demanded a surrender, which was refused.
The rebels opened on the town with artll-

Firing continued at intervals until ID
o'clock, when the rebels fell back. The
rebels burnt the Barrack works and one
dwelling. Many frame buildings also suf-

that the rebel party who had fight with
the Delaware cavalry was the advance
guard of Stuart and numbered 800.
The rebels lost two Lieutenants killed

wounded to be greater than ours. Our loss
was two privates killed and IS taken pris

Further Particulars Of the Assault
ON VickSEburg.

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-The Nlcksburg cor
respondent of the Democrat says the con-
duct of the troops during the operations in
Logan's front on the 18th was very bril-
liant. AS soon as the mine exploded the
45th H., led by Col. Maltby, rushed into
the breach and planted their flag amid a
terrific fire from the enemy. Lieut.. Col.
Smith was shot through the head and can
not possibly recover. Maj. Fish fell with
a ball through his heart, being the third
shot he had received. A number of line
officers in this regiment are understood to
be killed and wounded. The 18th, 45th,
3lst, oath, sd, 56th Ills. and 18th Iowa par
ticipated in the assault. Gen. Legget was
in command of the assailing force and is
reported slightly wounded after an en-
trance into the fort was effected. The
fighting was principally done with hand
grenades, which had a terrible effect on the
crowded, demoralized rebels. Lieut.. Col.
REEVE, commanding 3lst Ills, Maj. Brad
ley, commanding 18th Ills, are among the
wounded.

Affairs at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, June 30.-The american
says the response of the Union Leaguers
in this city to the lastscall of Gen. Schenck
for public defense was most prompt and
enthusiastic, old and young ttocked to the
armories for arms, but the supply was not
sufficient for one halfthose presenting them
selves. We learn from citizens Of West
minister, who arrived here this morning,
that the LIST Delaware cavalry made most
excellent fight, they fought with sabers
and revolvers until the enemy appeared IN
overwhelming numbers. The enemy came
in by the Washington road at the time our
cavalry were getting their horses shod,
preparing for scout beyond. They cap
tured two or three men and horses near
the end Of the town, when the balance
charged or them with AN effort to recover
the prisoners and fierce fight ensued, in
which number We're wounded on both
sides. Reiu.orcements 10 the rebels ap-
peared, when our men fell back to KEGS
burg, fighting through the town. The
greater portion OF the Killed and wounded
are captured, not more than Is out Of 10
reached this city. The road is now entire
ly unobstructed both on the main stem
and Washington branch, and there is no
enemy believed to threaten it at any point.

CONCORD CHURCH, June 80, P. M. The
reconnaissance of Gen. Steadman, this p.
M, was pushed within two miles of Tulla-
homa. Gen. Thomas accompanied the col
umn and reports the enemy in force in
WORKS with videttes thrown out short dis
lance from the front. 1t is thought by some

Inns is DOUBTLESS mistake, as we found

Liberty Gap, and our friends at ShelhvvilIe
counted IL 600 men of Folks corps passing
through that place. Cheatham,s Division
is reported having moved to Elk river
bridge.
The Dechard bridge destroyed can hard
ly be rebuilt before all will be decided.
while the last brigade cannot prevent rein
forcements coming. The rebels cannot
carry off stores or heavy munitions of war.

ADMIRAL FooTE.-Rear Admiral An
drew Ii. Foote is a native of Connecticut,
born III 1907, son of the late Governor
Samuel A. F00te; entered the navy IN 1872
as nidshipman, and has advanced through
all the grades to the highest; serving in the
East Indies, where he routed the pirates:
on the coast OF Africa where ne made the
slave trade unsafe: on the coast of China,
where he maintained the rights OF American
citizens and the honor OF their flag. At
the commencement Of the war he succeeded
Commodore Breese in command of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard andi in the fall OF 1851
was assigned to the command OF the hissis-
sippi River Squadron, captured Fort Hen
nv and aided IN the capture OF Fort DOnei-
son. where he was SeV"rei = wounded. in
conjunction with Gen. Pope he took Island
No. 10 after % days siege, and subsequent
| " besicged Fort Wright, on the Mississippi.
The Cleveland Herald gives the follow
| ing touching sketch Of the personal charac-
| ter of the deceased Admiral:
| In him was II rare blending Of the most
delicate sympathies Of an exquisitely SEN
sitive nature, and q moral heroism, that, in
discharge of duty, walked, feariessly, upto
| the cannOn'S mouth. Gentle as a child IN
his social relations, artIess as infancy in
his intercourse with his fellow men, he Was
! the perSonifcation of u cheerfulness which
was not insensible TO danger, which was
| not reck leSsness, but a tearlesSness nothing
! but a christian heart can give TO human
nature. He was ready, at any moment
cheerfully to obey the temporary GALE
his earthly official superior, or The last
great call of the Supreme Head, to come up
higher.
From the first Of this sickness Admiral
FOOte believed it to be his last, and ex-
pressed himself readyto go, if that was Dr.
!; vine will. How he fought for his country,
that country knows; how he prayed for his
| 10 hn in
) know. Admiral Foote wore himself ouI
= in this war, and although it was one OF ms
/ dearest wishes to live and fight again ior
= the Union, he laid himself down TO die,
Z humbly, as resignedly, as conhdlnSiy' '@
1 child goes to its bed of sleep.
5 Messrs. Augustus and John A. Eoote' "
:. this city, were with their brother when I no
;. died, and we presume members OF ms IN
d mediate family were also present. All thnS
o skill and devotion could do has been done,
: but in vain, and the country mourns tlo
c loss of one of her rarest jewels.
