All the railroads leading into Richmond

NE REFUSES THE ENEMY.
Reaches James River in Safety

New YORK. June 26.-A special despatch
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 a very
determined and 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 Immediately
rallied to cover this movement and held
the eneimy's cavalry and infantry in check
until the balance of the command could be
brought to their support, when general
battle ensued between our mounted and
dismounted cavalry, and cavalry, infantry
and artillery on the part of the enemy
Sheridan acted on the defensive and re-
PEELED several OF the most desperate ass
saults that could possibly be made.
His light artillery was brought into play
and was admirably served. The fighting
was at short range and grape and canister
were used with terrible effect.
At the end of the conflict he succeede d
in beating them off, though greatly supe'
rior In numbers, and resumed his march to
James River without the loss Of gun or
wagon. ..y t- o..
His killed, wounded and missing may
reach 500 among whom are four Colonels.
