It's TO DO expected that the mortality in tho
hospitals OF Washington will be proportion.
stely greater for time than in any other hos.
pltsls In the country, for obvious reasons. A
large part ofthe inmates OF these hospitals are
men wounded 80 badly that they cannot bear
transportation to the more northorly cities.
Very many Of them are soldiers who were
obliged to be kept at Fredericksburg, until they
had gained strength just sufficient to enable
them to be carried on Stretchers to boat, and
conveyed on stretchers to the hospitals on ar
rival here. Consequently, we may anticipate
in these cases a much heavier rate OF mortality
than among those who, having been more
slightly wounded, were conveyed to hospitals
In other cities.
In ordinary cases, our hospitals exhibit a
smaller per centage OF deaths than any mill
tsry hospitals In Europe, as their statistics will
show.

To AGjor General Dir, Ssp York:
A dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated this morn.
ing, June I'd, at Bethesda Church, O'Clock
has just been received. 1t states that
Yesterday afternoon an attack was ordered
to he made on our left at Cole Harbor, by the
9th corps, the troops under Smith, Warren,
Burnside, and Hancock being held in readiness
to advance In their respective fronts.
"The attack was made with spirit about s
p. m, continuing until after dark, resulting in
eur carrying the enemy's works on the right Of
the 9th corps, where we still hold them, and
also the fret line In front of Smith. The lat.
ter, however, were commanded by another line
In the rear, which made those carried un.
tenable.
The enemy made repeated assaults on each
OF the corps not engaged in the main assault,
but were repulsed with loss in every instance.
"several hundred prisoners were taken, but
I cannot say what number; no estimate either
Of our or the enemy's casualties.
During Re night he sHany made several as
sdnlt' 10 regain rhdt 0cp had lost, but failed"
No dispatches from any other quarter have

ruptsd with applause. The New York Evening

Lees Attempt 10 Turn Grants PIank-

Especial Dispatch to the New York Tribune
HEADoUARTERs ARMY OF THE PoTehAc,I
VIRGINIA, Monday, May s0-b y. m.
Soon after dispatching your special messen-
ger this afternoon to the White House the
enemy massed his forces in front OF waren's
corps, and made desperate assault upon our
len. His advance, however, was arrested with
heavy loss from our artillery and infantry fire.
The 9th and I'd corps have been effectively
engaged in diminishing throughout the AFTER
noon, In which we have had many wounded.
The loss In the 5th corps is severe, but bears
no proportion to the injury inflicted upon the
enemy. The rebel forces still occupy their po-
sition, but few hundred yards in our front
and from our len line, which is but eight miles
from Richmond.
1t does not yet seem 10 be believed that Lee
will force a battle hero, yet we are ready for
him II he so chooses.
A citizen, who has managed after two years'
service in the rebel army to escape further
military service, says that after Lee learned
that we were crossing the Pamunkey at Old
Hanovertown, he hurried all his troops down
TO oppose us, but was little too late, as was
demonstrated by their cavalry repulse on Sat
urday. He also asserts that Lee will have o
united force of one hundred and twenty five
thousand men for the defence of Richmond,
and yet thinks his troops will not fight with
their wanted tenaclty, on account Of a growing
lack Of confidence In the success OF their
cause.
: Citizens OF guarded Union sentiments, As
well as secessionists, agree in the opinion that
this campaign is TO end the war, and by far
the greater number profess TO believe that our
army will be the victorious one.

Tonight Carl Formes appears In that great
pAr. which has contributed 30 much to his fame,
" CAlpAr, the Ranger" In the grand Opera Of "Der
FreischutE." Formes will this evening display his
wonderful power OF voice and acting ,undininiIhsd
Notwithstanding the criticisms Of the progressive
school Of writers upon the Drama and Opera
After listening to his SinVing this evening, we
venture to predict all will acknowledge that In
certain respects Carl Formes iS yet unrivAlled.
Ia the pleasant little Opera OF "MArthA" on
Wednesday evening, his performance was sum.
cient to show that he has loLt nothing OF the
powers that have rendered him so famous.
Some Ansct to believe that he Is not the Carl
Formes thoy listened TO few years ago. This iI
very fudgy. He has generally appeared In this
country, on previous occasions, in such weak COM
pAuleS that there was nothing else but Carl Formss
In the opera. Mr.. Grover has now been giving US
the performances OF company 80 strong in All Its
parts that single singer OVershAdowI the Who'll E
and becomes the only feature Of the opera, This

iS not as great a. before because he 10 now well

ditIen to Carl Formes, we are to have a GpleudId
array OF talent, including sisnorA FTederio, Mile
CaniIsa, Hartmann, Steiueoke, and GrAfn, ard
the opera will be produced with great eject in all
Its parts.

Tho Boston Transcript, an able and dispas-

following woll-conslderOd paragraphs the late
Cleveland Conventions
The Cleveland Convention succeeded 10 nom,
mating Fremont and Cochrane as candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, and
In passing q series OF thirteen resolutions,
among which are recommendations for three
amendments to the Constitution. There were
present few If any representative men, and
that large proportion Of the body consisted
OF reformers without discretion and politicians
without character. The union of the two real
lied tho highest trAnscendental requirements
OF the picturesque, and the spectacle of Parker
Plllsbury and Gen. hcKinstTy on one platform
was well worth journey to Cleveland to sec.
The objects OF the convention were palpA bly,
personal-personal In the hatred manifested
toward Lincoln as much as In the partizanshlp
manifested toward Fremont; and to prevent
Lincoln's reelection the leaders would will
hngly run the risk OF delivering the country
over TO Mcclellan and the copperheads. FIRE.

other purpose than TO give aid and comfort to

MOUND CIfT, June IA large and valuable
wharf boat was burned at eight O'Clock this
evening. The Gre originated from spontaneous
combustion, and was not discovered until 1t
