CAIRO, July s.-Between eight and ten thou
sand rebels, under Generals Holmes, Price and
MGmsdukc, made sn attack on Helena, on The
morning Of the 4th inst. They advanced In
three columns, but the roughness Of the ground
was such as 70 prevent the rebels from bringing
up their artillery. They attempted to carry
the works by assault. The centre column
charged In the direction Of Fort Curtis, and
took three lines Of rife pits. '.
Tho flank attack was not so successful, which
subjected the centre to an enfllading fire, which
swept them down In great numbers. They
were soon surrounded, and one whole brigade,
or what was len Of It, numbering eight hun.
dred and forty, fell into our hands; seven hun.
dred and forty of whom arrived here yesterday
