Engagement near the Mouth
of White River,

CAIRO, June 26.-Memphis papers OF
yesterday say that on the morning OF the
22d, detachment Of Marmadule's COM
mand, six hundred strong, attacked two
companies of the 18th Iowa infantry
stationed near the mouth of White river,
and after severe fight were repulsed with
the loss twenty four killed and wounded.
Our loss was one killed and FIVE wounded.
The removal of the gunboat Tyler from
that station has probably emboldened the
rebels, and but for the fortunate arrival
of the gunboat Lexington, the result
might have been unfascrable to US. Our
forces fought desperately, repelling sever
al charges of the rebels, and drove them
from the field. Deserters who surrender
ed to the gunboats below say Marmaduke
is moving on Little Rock to attack Gen
Stsels aud capture the city if possible.

Dispatches from Grant dated yesterday

Hunter Is striking jackson river depot
about 40 miles north of Salem, and says
if he reaches Covington, which they sup.
pose he will do. with most of his forcess
but with the loss Of material he will be
safe. The same paper states that General
! Wilson destroyed train OF cars loaded
with cotton and furniture, burned the de-
pot, and at Burnsvlle destroyed the track
and was still pushing south.
All the railroads leading into Rich
mond are now destroyed, some Of them
badly.
A dispatch from Sherman received this
mornig reports yesterday that he made
an unsuccessful attack on the enemies po-
sition We lost between 1000 and 5000
men particularly heavy in officers. Gen.
Hooker, mortally wounded; Col. Dan
McCook, commanding Brigadss and Col.
Rice 9th Orio, very seriously; Coils
BaDedell, 40th Illinois; and Augustine,

they prosecute war for negro equality,

cipatior-men who oppose abolitioaism
on principle, and who enjoy the eoRs sdence
and love of the true men of the State.
Let US have no more of policy, of trim
ming, OR of expediency-we have too
much already. Close up the ranks; Of
ganize at once FOR the last, deadly strug-

lost. We must not fail. Unless we sue

Lincoln Buys Greeley.

Greeley has been more or lefs sulky
ever since the creation OF Lincolns Gabi-
net. He desired place, and did not get
it. OF late he has been demonstrative
in his hostility to the Seooad Washing
ton, and very Frsmontish is the tone of
his paper. He was confidently expected
at Cleveland, where he had promised to
be-, and while we were reading the disap-
pointmen of the Convention at his ab-
ssnce. the mornings dispatch brings word
that Lincoln. has already designated his
Cabinet for the next term, making Greeley
Secretary of the Tnterier. This shows
at once the baseners of Greeley, and the
fright Of poor Lincoln at the Cleveland
CenEention.-Dasten Empire.

POINT OF ROCKS, VA.

POlNI OF ROChS, a. 7
June 10th, 1864.
Dear SpirSt,-This has been day
fraught with danger and excitement, to
this command. This morning two desert
srs from the rebels escaped into our lines
and reported the whole force in our front
to be evacuating, Accordingly Brig.
Gen. Turner, commanding the dsfences
issued orders for the 10th Wis. Vols. and
our Regiment to move outside ths works
Immediately. After gaining the open
field beyond, the 62nd were deployed as
skirmishers, and in this order advanced
(without any opposition, except an occa-
sional shot from pickets falling back,) to
Walthal Junction on the Petersburg and
Richmond Rail Road, where the Regi-
ment was termed, arms stacked and orders
given to destroy the rail road. The men
were quickly engaged in turning the
track up side down, knocking off the ties,
piling them up and setting fire to them.
In this manner the track was completely
demolished for five miles. About P.
NJ two cavalry vidsttes who had been sta
toned on the turnpike towards Rich
mond, came dashing down the road with
the intelligence that heavy rebel column
were rapidly advancing, and then you
would have been amused had you seen
the expedition taking long strides toward
home They followed close but we beat
them about length all the way through,
and to night our picket line is advanced
half mile further than this morning.
The capture to-day, were three ohnnys
and one american of African decent, ;"
the latter by the way, presided over the
ordinary officers of Brig. Gen. Bushrod
Johnston's mess, but since our arrival in
camp has been duly installed as chief of
Capt. Johnston's mess, of which have
the honor to be member. His name is
Richmond, therefore contrary to the opin-
ions of many wise-aeres Richmond is
eurs.
Re-inforcements by rail to Petersburg
is now out of the question and tbs thought
that Smith, (Baldy) can whip them and
capture the place, before they can be
marched to his assistance. His opera
tions yesterday near Petersburg resulted
in the capture of fourteen cannon and
Eve thousand prisoners.
| The gun boats are firing every fifteen
minutes tonight, which will have the
effect of increasing their rage considera-
lbly. 'Tis late. will clese till something
turns up Goodnight,

TTribune's Special. !

Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
June 26.-This morning the enemy, in
very strong force in our front, exhibit
determination to resist every attempt OF
our men to advance. The possession of
the Petersburg and Weldon railroad is of
such vital Importance to them that only
the most eonsummate skill and bravery
can wrest it from them. The repulse of
the Vermont brigade on Friday shows the
stubborn determination of the enemy, and
there is no doubt that ever since they
have been strengthening that portion of
their lines with defenses and men.
EWorld's Special.
Headquarters, June 27,-We have not
possession of the Weldon and Petersburg
railroad as yet. AS matters stand now
there is no ground for saying we will have
it Immediately. Our position is such,
however, as to prevent the enemy from
running any trains on that road. Gen.
Grant is masking the enemy's position a
warm one.
The Herald's Bermuda Hundred cor
respondence of the 25th, says the situa-
tion of the enemy to-day in relation to
Gen. r. S. Fosters position at Jones
Neck is somewhat menaeing, though quite
reconnaissance resulted in some picket

Sheridan's Battle at White
House.

New York, June ga special des-
patch from City Point to the Herald
says:
The attack upon Sheridan's cavalry day
before yesterday while marching from
White House to James river, was very
determined aud bloody affair. They made
what they considered ample arrangements
to capture his guns, trains and most OF
his command.
Details of the affair have not yet trans
pired here up to the departure OF the
mail boat but it is known that the enemy
fell upon brigade composing the rear
guard with great fury and at first threw
them into much confusion. They I'M
mediately rallied to cover this movement
and held the enemy's cavalry and infan-
try in check until the balance of the com
uland could be brought to their support
when a general battle ensued between our
mounted and dismounted cavalry, and
cavalry, infantry and artillery on the part
of the enemy. Sheridan acted on the de-
fensive and repealed several of the mos
desperate assaults that could possibly bt
made.
His light artillery was brought int
play and was admirably served. Th'
fighting was at short range and grape anc
cannister were used with terrible ct
feet.
At the end of the conflict he succeed
ed in beating them of, though great.
superior in numbers, and resumed hi
march to James River without the los
of gun or wagon.
His killed, wounded and missing
may reach 500 among whom are foR
Colonels.
