meridian attacked.

New YORK, June 2S,- The Her1Jd'S spe-
ciaI from City Point June 26th, says; The
attack on Sheridans cavalry, day before yes
terday while marching from White House,
was very determined and bloody affair
They made what they considered ample ar
engagements to capture his guns, trains, and
most of his command. The details Of the
affair have not yet transpired here, up to
the departure of the mail boat, but it is
known that the enemy fell upon a brigade
comprising the rear guard, with great fury,
and at first threw them into much confusion.
They immediately rallied to cover this move
ment, and held the eneny's cavalry and in
fantry in check until the balance of the COM
ma nd could be brought TO their support,
when a general battle ensued between our
mounted and dismounted cavalry, and caval-
ry, infantry and artillery on the part Of the
enemy.
Sheridan acted on the defensive, and re-
PEELED several of the most desperate assault is
that could possibly be made. His light ar
tillery was brought to play, and was adrnira-
bly, served. The fighting was at short range,
and grape and canister were used with ter
rife effect. At the end of the conflict he
succeeded in beating them off, though great
| ly superior in number, and resumed his
march toJames river without the loss of a
gun or wagon. His killed wounded, and
missing may reach 500, among whom are

MERsERs EDITORS:
Having read in the Chicago Tribune an
incorrect account ofmy part in recent mar
raige ceremoney-I state the facts SO far as
| am concerned.
Application was made by Mr. Alvord to
Justice Cole to go to his residence and mar
~ couple. Justice Cole requested me to
perform the ceremony in his stead. I went
to the appointed place and found a company
collected, first had private interview
With the bridegroom, among other appro-
pirate questions, inquired the age of his
Iady.-he replied that he did not know, /
requested to see the lady-asked her age,
she replied %. Noticing something rather
frivolous in the lady's appearance I spoke
seriously to her, and remarked to her that
Il could tie knot but she would fluid it
difficult to have it united F" The couple then
passed into the room and the ceremony was
performed in the presence of six or seven
witnesses, without any suggestion being
made to me Of anything inappropriate.
The bridegroom appeared sedate and re-
spectful, and at the close of the ceremony
handed me five dollars

demonstrations Opposition. "

If proof were wanting of the infuriate
madness which had seized the Fremont
wire-pullers, the disloyal assaults OF their
organ(the New Natjon) upon the public cred
it would furnish it. The last number OF
that sheet, under date of the 18th, has an
editorial article which, in speaking OF tle
New York money market, says:
''Federal bonds may be good enough IN
vestment for federal currency; but for
safe deposit of real deposit, they can no lon
ger be commended. The limited subscnp-
lions of the ten-forty loan show that these
views have become wide spread.
Again it tells us that
fEven non-dividend- paying railroad shares
bring more than the six per cent. govern
ment securities.
Discredit has scarcely a lower depth, and
still the tendency in government securities
is downward"
Not satisfied with even this to stab the
national credit, and thus give success to the
rebellion, this organ Of the great author OF
" vigorous war INDUCES in the following
infamous threat:
Gin order to rid themselvs Of a tyrant, the
people may be driven to strike at the found
ations of government and in the struggle
public credit can hardly fail to suffer In
view of this danger, many people are exchan-
ging their g greenbacks' for notes OF sound
State banks, which, it is believed, would not
be wholly involved in the ruin which seems
inseparable from continuance OF Mr.. Lin
coins administration.
This we understand to be sample of the
elements of conscientious opposition which
Fremont told us in his letter of acceptance
he would labor to combine" for the defeat
Of Lincoln, if nominated at Baltimore.
First, the bonds Of the government are pro-
nounced not of real value" and for that rea-
son can no longer be commended" as mode
Of safe deposite = and, as if afraid THAT
this disIoyal assertion would not be accepted
by the people, the infamous intimation is
thrown out that the people'-of the style
of ValIandigham, with whom Fremont is
combining" may be driven to strike at
the foundations of government In other
words Fremont may get up rebellion over
Mr. Lincolns second election, as jeff Davis
did over the first. Not to leave any doubt
as to the worthlessness Of government bonds,
this infamous sheet in this same connection
speaks of 'ruin which seems iaSepGrabJe

clare that ''there is so little difference etwee

No EGain Ket.-We have had abund-
ant promise of rain within the past week,
but thus far in this immediate vicinity, the
promise lacks fulflIment. On two occasions,
Saturday and Tuesday Evenings we had a
few drops ofrain, enough to partially. lay the
dust. Butt various sections of the State
and adjoining States south and west of us,
they have had copious showers during the
past week. 1t is no longer a matter of
doubt-crops ofaIl kinds, through this State
have been seriously damaged by the drouth.
Hay will be very short Wheat and oats
will be light-perhaps a quarter of crop or
even less. If we have rain soon, corn and
potatoes may recuperate and come forward,
and buclwheat and turnips may be sown in
quantities to make up in measure the lack
Of wheat and hay.

A NOrtEleaster.-On sunday afternoon
last, little after six o'clock, we were visited
with one of those sudden changes for which
this lake shore is somewhat noted The day
had been uncomfortabIy warm, with the
thermometer far up in the nineties in the
shade. At evening as the heat of the day
was little declining, many were out in
their very lightest apparel, when all at once,
without a moments warning squall Of wind
from the northeast struck the town. In one
minute the air was filled with dust smoke,
fog and flying leaves and the temperature
fell in the same time at least fifty degrees.
Then there was hurrying to and fro, and
rushing in hot haste for oyercoats, shawls,
wrappers, &c.
There were no marine disasters attendant
upon the squat in this viciniCy, but we hear
of one or two shipwrecks near Chicago.
Those Straw beFries.-We were the
grateful recipient, the other day, of IA couple
of boxes of the finest strawberries we have
seen this season, from our friend c. A. Bliss
of Salem. While it is gratifying to be thus
remembered by our friends it is even more
gratifying to learn of their success in this
berry-culture. MIR. Bliss informs us that
his strawberry crop this season has been
very much curtailed by the drouth which
has affected almost everything; but the Der
ries with which he favored us, gave no sign
of drouth or any other drawback. They
were large, and delicious almost melting IL
your mouth. They were of the Wilson'S
Albany Seeding variety, and as perfect a
development of the variety as we have eve1
seen.
Mr.. Bliss for several seasons has turned
his attention to the cultivation of the small
fruits quite extensively. He has supplied
our market for two seasons, with forty tc
fifty bushels of fine Lawton Blackberries al
we ever saw grown, and last fall he had a.
fine a crop Of grapes as were raised in the
county. These facts show that our soil anC
climate is well adapted to the growing O
these small fruits, and yet the demand is fa
beyond the supply. We hope the day i
not far distant when we shall have our mar
kets fully supplied with berries of every
kind, of home production, and at such rates
that even people Of moderate fortunes car
afford to indulge occasionally in the luxury
without feeling that they are ext ravagant

The LATE RAILROAD DIsA sTER.-We are

loss to the company from both accidents, we
learn will probably not exceed $780,
