Attack ON Burnside-The Enemy
Driven Back I'm Con fusion.

HEADQUAR1ERs ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
June 25-6 A. M.-The only fighting that
took place yesterday was an attack made
by the enemy on Gen. Burnside, but wheth-I
er intended as feint to cover some more
important move or an attempt to break
through his lines, 1t was a failure. They
opened with heavy fire of artillery, which
was returned by our batteries, and the reb-
els making a charge were driven back in
confusion. upwards of one hundred being
taken prisoners. This occurred about 5.
A. NJ, and the artillery firing was kept up
for an hour, when all became quiet at that
point.
About the same time battery opened in
front on a hospital on the left of the Fifth
corps. which the rebels seemed desirous of
cleaning ont; but they were deferred by our
guns before any damage resulted.
The engagement between the 9th corps
and the enemy for the possession of the
railroad on Wednesday. was quite severe;
particularly In front of the second division,
commanded by General Wheaton. Only
short distance of the railroad had been de-
strIoyed when the party were attacked by
heavy force of the enemy under General
Anderson, supported by Wilcox's division.
Capt. Beatty, of the third Vermont, was in
charge of the party that reached the road

ers. principally of the 4Sth and 18th YER
mont regiments, Of the Vermont brigade.
The enemy afterward advanced and at
tempted to break through the line at sever
al points, but were met with such heavy
fire from our forces that they were driven
back every time with heavy loss. They
finally, at dark, gave up the effort and re-
treated across the railroad bank. where they
took up an advantageous position. Our
loss was very light in killed and wounded,
while that of the enemy, it is supposed,
was more than double ours. We lost quite
number of prisoners, but the figures can
not be as yet correctly given. The railroad
from City Point to Petersburg is being
placed in order, and an engine and cars are
already procured to put on it as soon as 1t is
in running condition. Supplies are receiv-
ed at the front regularly, aud the troops
lack nothing in this respect, but they suffer
somewhat from the scarcity of water.

Congressional Matters.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The two Houses
of Congress have yet to act upon the amend
ments to several measures, including the
fertilization. the miscellaneous appropria-
tion and the tariff bills. The committee of
Ways and Means have no more bills of a
public character to report on, the last be-
ing for sundry civil expenses, upon which
there had been no Legislative action. The
House bill amendatory of the Pacific rail-
road act. and the loan bill, have been sent
to the Senate for its concurrence.
The Senate having passed an act to re-
peal the $500 commntation clause. and the
House having previously refused by de-
ciSive vote to do so, it is supposed that the
final action on the question OF the draft
will be settled by committee of Confer
ence,

The ITALIAN OPERA.-Max StrakOsch's
unrivaled Italian Opera Company will be
in this city during the present week, and
give our people an opportunity to enjoy
such music as they but seldom hear. Seats
were selling very rapidly yesterday, for
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, at
Settlers Music Store. The Atheneum will
be crowded to its utmost capacity, both
nights. Those who have not already Sc
cured seats, had better go early to-day, else
they may be zoo late.
We find the following notice of one of
the Concerts of this Company in a late To-
ronto (Canada) paper:
Don Pdsquale (composed by Donizetti in
1S43) was performed last night for the first
time in. Toronto. and before an audience
much larger than that of Saturday. The
boxes were crowded with the beauty and
fashion of the city, and the parq lette and
gallery rejOiced In more than usual share
of popular countenance. We have little to
add by way of criticism to what we have
already said as to the capabilities of the
performers. All the artists were in good
spirits, and their voices betokened more
freshness than the last performance exhib-
tied. Miss Phillips impersonation of the
enchanting widow, Norma, was graceful
and modest, perhaps all the better for be-
ing quieter and less farcical than it somc-
times Il. BrignOli, as Ernesto, sang with
unrivalled sweetness his "Com gentil,"
being a perfect gem. and the duo "For-
na,nt dir exquisite In its blending and
simplicity. Both ELECTED hearty encore,
but this elldlrected energy was misspent
as no notice was taken of the compliment.
SusIni, we venture TO say, takes no character
with greater success than that of the amor
GUS Don Pdsquale. It is hard to say which
is the more worthy Of praise his acting or
his singing. Few will dare to assert that
they have seen the character exhibited in a
trner light or the music of the part render
ed with a greater gusto or made to tell with
greater force. His make up" is indescrib-
able; gOrgeousness welded to Falstaffian
proportions, best conveys an idea of what
1t was. 1t need scarcely be said that lie
kept the house In roar. .,i't

RUNAWAY AND SERIOUS AccrDENr.--Offi-
Ger Mcdowell, of the night police, while
out riding with his wife and child, met with
very serious accident on the corner of
Mound and Third streets yesterday morn
ing. While crossing the gutter at that
point, the fore wheels of the carriage be-
came separated from the body Of the vehi-
Gle, precipitating the party to the ground
with great violence. Mr.. McDewrll was
severely bruised about the face and limbs,
his wife also received severe injuries, and
the child was badly, though not seriously
hurt. They are now all doing very well,
and are not likely to suffer permanently
from the accident.

Attack ON Badly simith-The Enc.
my lsePulsed.
tTribune's special.


ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, Saturday, June
%. y. M.-During two hours yesterday
evening, from to 8, the earth trembled to
thunders Of more than 100 cannon. Baldy
Smith was attacked. 1t will be remembered
that he holds the position next to the Ap-
pottomax, within less than mile of the city.
His line stretches along the plain at right
angles with the river, while the rebels hold
undsturbed possession of the bank opposite,
and long distance in his rear. On that
bank they suddenly uncovered sixty guns,
thus exposing the 18th corps to an entila,l-
ing fire and a reverse fire. At length the
enemy attacked with musketry as we'll as
cannon. They very foolshly moved their
line upon our works. lJ has since been as
certained to have been Haygood's Sonth
Carolina brigade of Hoke'S division. The
repulse was the work of but few moments,
and was complete. One hundred and sixty
five prisoners fell into our hands-by a
strategic movement they were drawn into
rifle pits, and these being commanded in
the rear by covered works the rebels were
obliged to surrender.
A special to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
dated on the afternoon of the 24th, says:
General Wright with the Sixth corps made
movement to the lett and reached the
Weldon railroad, of which he. destroyed
some five miles. Fires were built along
the road, which destroyed the ties, and at
the same time warped the iron SO as to
make it unfit for further use. Having ac-
complished his object, he returned to his
former position.
A Times special, dated the oath. says this
morning Longstreet and Hill are, it is as.
certained, moving toward Weldon, having
vacated their intrenchments in our front.
During brief skirmish this morning, a
few prisoners were taken, from which it
appeared that Beauregards main army was
now covering Petersburg, while Lees forces
were moving to our left, with what design
remains yet to be seen. A rebel deserter
who came in this morning states that our
recent shelling of Petersburg by Birney's
artillery was very disastrous. Headds that
the rebelsare marching and counter-march-
ing to guard against our expected attack.

REPORTED DEATH OF CAPTAIN ALLIs Cox
TRADIcTED.-A letter from Lieut.. Elliott,
of the 95th Regiment, was received by his
brother in this city yesterday, in which it
is stated that Captain Allis was not killed
in the battle at Guntown, Miss, as was re-
ported; but that he was severely wounded
and taken prisoner. A soldier of the 95th
taken prisoner at that engagement escaped
after being five days with Forests COM
mand, brings this report, and adds that
when he escaped Captain Allis was recov-
ering from his wound, and was doing well.
The same soldier says that Captain Hanson,
of the 95th, reported killed. is also pris-
oner and unhurt. Members of the 95th are
slowly arriving at Memphis.

. THE CITY..

POLICE CouRT.-There was an eXtraor-
,dinarily large amount of business transacted
in the Police Court yesterday mornings
The Sabbath which had just past was un-
usually prolific of disturbances, rows, as
saults and drunks, and vice seemed to have
made up for the unwonted quiet of the past
week by saturnalia at the beginning of
this.
Frederick Ritter and Lewis Schwartz,
heretofore mentioned as having committed
brutal and ferOcious assault upon Asa
Tyler, were examined upon the charge OF
assault and battery and were fined $40 each,
in default of which they were committed to
work out the amount on the chain-gang at
the rate Of forty cents day. Mr.. Tyler
was unwilling to make affidavit to the
charge Of assault with intent to kill, or the
offenders would in all probability have
Jared worse in the Common Pleas Court.
Patrick Burney and Peter Howard, ar
rested for indulging in too much of the es-
sence of John Barley Corn, and subsequent
ly engaging in a apugilistic demonstration in
the nature of a free fight, were fined SO and
the costs. William Staley, Adam Wagner,
J.B. Weld and John Byerly, were each
fined 81 for yielding to similar weaknesses
and temptations.
Lizzie Wilson and Mary Staley, charged
with being common prostitutes, demurred
to the word common" but pleaded guilty
to the other thing, and were fined So. Sa-
rah Johnson, alias Hinton, charged with
keeping house of ill fame, was fined So
Sophia Durfee, Kate Tomanson and Mary
Jones, for being inmates of said house, were
fined S. each.
Several cases were continued until this
morning.

HEAT AND CoLD.-The past fortnight has
been season of unparalleled heat any dry
ness in this city, and it has been so long
since any rain fell here that citizens have
almost forgotten what shower is. Rain
has fallen within few miles of the city
limits on all Sides but the city itself has
not been blessed with shower for six
weeks. Yesterday, however, there was a
sudden and entire change in the tempera-
ture, which in the course of few hours
turned from the extreme Cf heat to abso-
lutte coldness; winter clothing was not un-
comfortable, and to many people fires were
indispensable. Weather items are gener-
ally of little interest to readers, but we re-
cord these unusual meteorological features
because we begin tosuspect that the wealth
or at Columbus is materially different from
that of other places in the State.
