AND VET ANOTHER VICTORY
DEFEAT OF REBELS AT HELENA.
Rebel Brigade Bsgged!

CAIRO. july Between 5000 and 10000
rebels under command Of Gems. Holmes,
Price, Marmaduke, Parsons and McRae,
attacked Helena on the morning OF the
4th. Gen. Parsons commanded the centre,
followed by McRae. Gen. Pagan COM
manded the right wing, and Gen. Marina
duke the left wing. The roughness OF the
ground was such as TO prevent the repels
from bringing up their artillery, and they
attempted to carry our redoubts by infan-
try assault.
The center column charged in the direc-
ton of Fort Curtis, and took three lines OF
our rifle pits. The flank attack was not so
successful, which subjected their center
column to an enfilading fire, which swept
them down in great numbers. They were
soon surrounded and captured. One whole
brigade, or what was left Of it, fell into our
hands, numbering $40 prisoners. Over 700
Of them arrived here this morning. Among
them is Col. l.. NJ. Lewis, of the 7th Mis-
souri,, Lieut.. Col. Johnson, and Col. s. s.
Bell, of Bells regiment. Most of the 10th
Missouri are among the prisoners.
Gen. Prentiss was aware OF the contem-
plated attack and was prepares He had
about 1900 men, in which Iowa, Indiana,
Wisconsin and Missouri were represented.
and three other gunbOats arrived ABOUT
the time the battle was over. PRISONERS
say the attack will be renewed.
The battle commenced at o'clock A.. NJ.
and continued until 10 A. NJ. The rebel
loss is not less than 1900 in killed, wounded
and prisoners. The entire Federal loss
will not exceed 100. Gen. Prentiss is con-
fident that he can repel any assault that
may be MADE. 1t is now thought that re-
bel depredations near Lake Providence
was to draw our gunboats to that point,
and thus give them better opportunity at

From Helena.

MEMPHIS, July 5, via CAIRO, July L.
Gen. Hurlbut has kindly furnished me
with the following extracts Of letters from
Gen. Prentiss:
Headquarters, DISTRICT EAST ARKAN-
sAs, HELENA, Arkansas, July 4ElO:3O A.
MO Major General s. A. Hurlbat,
Commanding 18th army COrpS.-GENERAL:
We have been hard pushed since daylight
by the combined forces OF Price,
Holmes, Marmaduke, Parsons, and others.
Thus far we have held our own, ana cap
tured several hundred prisoners, whom l
send to you by Maj. Wright, OF the oath
Iowa, on board steamer Tycoon. The enc
my are now preparing for renewed at
tack in force. Send another gunboat if
possible. The Tyler has done good SER
vice to-day. In great haste.
Your obedient servant,
B. M. PRENTIsS, Maj. Gen.
HEADERS DISTRICT OF EAST ARKANSAS,
HELENA, July 40 Major General s. a..
Hurlbnlt: We have repulsed the enemy at
every point, and our soldiers are now col
Letting their wounded. We have taken, in
all, 200 prisoners, and their loss in killed
and wounded will reach 500 or 600. But,
although badly beaten, there is no doubt
whatever, they will renew the attack at an
early moment, and that they are now
massing their troops for that purpose. My
force is inferior to the rebels, but with the
aid expect from you and the Gunboats
the rebel army may be severely beaten.
The Tyler has been to-day valuable
auxiliary.
Iremain Gen. your ob't servant,
B. NJ. PRENTIss, Maj. Gen.
The steamers Tycoon and Silver Moon
have arrived from Helena with $50 of the
prisoners captured yesterday, including so
Commissioned officers, from Colonies down.
No details of the fight have been received,
but it is reported that our loss in killed,
wounded and missing is not over 60, and
that the rebels captured six of our guns,
which we afterwards recaptured. The CO.
lored troops are reported to have fought
well. Gen. Hurlbut has sent reinforce
ments to Prentiss promptly.
From Grants army we have advices to
noon of July I'd. The situation had not
materially changed. Gen. Mcpherson had
exploded another mine in his front, by
which largenumber of rebels were killed.
The rebels also exploded another mine,
which did us no damage, but resulted to
our advantage.
Johnston's army have made no move
ments towards attacking Grants position.
Gen. Sherman is still watching john
ston's movements and several skirmishes
had occurred between accommodating par
ties on either side. The rebels are reported
to be devastating the country west of the
Mississippi river below Lake Providence,
burning buildings, destroying fences, and
carrying off the negroes. Everything qul-
ct here

Scare Mt Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, July THE excitement
which prevailed here last evening and cul-
minated in turning a large portion Of our
population into the streets between twelve
and one o'clock this morning, was occa-
stoned by the firing of cannon at Jefferson
vile, on the Indiana shore, about midnight,
by order of Adjutant General Noble, who,
without consultation with our authorities,
took this means to arouse the Indian Lee
gion, whose services, it was thought, wo'd
be Immediately required. The reverbera-
ton from these cannon echoing from the
walls of our city, and the trees south of it,
impressed our people with the idea that an
artillery conflict was progressing between
Morgan's forces and our own, short dis
lance south of the city.
During last evening, rumors prevailed OF
an advance of Morgan's forces to Shop
pardsville. These rumors could not be
traced to any authentic source, hut tele-
graphic communication between here and
Sheppardsville ceasing at 8 o'clock, the ex-
element became intensified, and continued
through the night. All quiet this morning.
Probably none of Morgan's forces have
been this side of Bardstown, and are now
said to be retreating.

Tremendous Sensation Dispatch.

Especial TO dcfQtQ,I
The following facts were obtained from
8 source which guarantees their correct
ness and the statement may be relied upon
as strictly true:
On Saturday, the 4th, the rebel gunboat
Dragon came down James River with a
flag of truce. Acting Rear Admiral Lee
sent up an officer to meet it, when it was
ascertained that Alexander Stephens and
Commissioner Dude were on board. They
represented that they were bearers OF an
important letter from Jefferson Davis,
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and
Navy of the Confederate States, to Abra-
ham Lincoln, Commander i'm Chief OF the
Army and Navy of the United States, and
requested permission to proceed to WASH
ington in delegation and present the letter
to President Lincoln in person. They de-
ton to their mission. Admiral Lee, OF
course, had no authority to grant their
request until he could communicate with
Washington and receive instructions. He
accordingly telegraphed the facts and re-
quested Instructions.
This morning special cabinet meeting
was called to consider matters. Grant
ing the request involved many delicate
and important questions, as such pro-
ceeding might be construed into an ac-
acknowledgement of the pretended Confeder-
acy, and which after all might be some
comparatively unimportant affair, such as
the employment of negro troops. No de-
cision was arrived at, anG the cabinet meet
ing adjourned until tomorrow, and Admi-
raj Lee was instructed to ascertain, if pos
sible, the object of the mission. In the
meantime, however, the tug containing the
rebel ambassadors had turned about and
steamed up the river without any parting
salute.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-P. M.-The Presi
dent decided that the application of Ste
could not be granted; that communications
would be received through the ordinary
channels.

From Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, July Three hundred re-
bells are reported to be at Floydsburg.-
They were threatening to destroy the train
from Frankfort, whereupon the train was
ordered back. Telegraph communication
between here and Frankfort is interrupted.
A small party of rebel cavalry is said to
have levied on Hon. Robert Mallory at his
but made no other depreciation.
The report prevails, but probably incor-
rect, that a fight took place between Hob
sons forces and rebel cavalry near Shop
pardsville, this evening. Nothing new
from John Morgan to-day

What the Washington Star Says

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The Washing
ton Star says it is estimated at Gettysburg
that Lee had lost, up to yesterday morn
ing, by desertion, since crossing the Poto-
mac, an aggregate of 5000 men. He is
clearly cut off from taking either of the
lower and shorter routes leading to Virgin
ia, and must be endeavoring to make for
the Potomac at Hancock. We have strong
hopes he will not be able to get back into
Virginia, neither his artillery trans
portation, and the menwith which he may
himself escape, will not number a fourth
Of his boastful and over-confident army.
