Hooker Sustains n ShOCk-Ali Set
for the NcQt Important Movement.
The Tribune's correspondent with Sher-
man dates at Dallas, June 18th, and says:
The enemy attacked McPherson's corps yes
terday morning, and dashed on our advanced
lines Of works with the intention Of occupy
ing better position. They were met with
n heavy volley from our men, who remained
immoyable. The rebels came up within a
few PAGES, and fell back in terrible confu-
sion. During last night the enemy assaulted
Hooker, but, as before, were repulsed with
loss. The attack on Mcpherson, above re-
ferred to, proved very disastrous to the as
sailants. They came on in two divisions,
with great resolution, but met with very
destructive fire both of artillery and mus
kerry. The fight continued nearly an hour,
when the enemy retired, leaving the field
covered with dead and wounded TO the num-
Der of near two thousand five hundred.
After five DAYS fighting on his own hook,
Mcpherson has closed on his right wing, en-
aiding us to make the next important move
ment.
