CoRoNER's INQUEST UPON MICHAEL RI
LEY.-The inquest held by Coroner Gaver,
upon the body of Michael Riley, whose sud-
den decease on Saturday last we mentioned
on Monday, was concluded on the afternoon
of that day. The jury, consisting Of Messrs.
VIM. II. Gayer, e. d. Taylor, VIM. Strain,
G. Deimer, Adam Stephens and John Wea-
yer, at the conclusion of their investigation
and after the opinion of the medical gen.
tlemen who made the post mortem examina-
tion of the body had been delivered,
reported the following verdict: AFTER
having examined the body and heard the
evidence, We find that Michael Riley came
to his death from disease of the heart, has
tened by beating by one John Walsh, to-
gether with extreme exposure to the sun,
commonly called sunstroke."
1t transpired upon the investigation, that
the beating referred to in the verdict was
administered several weeks ago, in the eel
lar next to Simonton's Exchange where
Riley was working for Walsh; and it also
appeared that Riley had, since the affray
in which he was hurt, been at work for
other parties, and had been laboring ON the
day of his death. Considerable excitement
existed among the Irish citizens in relation
to this affair, but we have not heard of any
steps being taken to proceeds further with
the investigation.

The Attack ON sheridam's CayaIE.
The Enemy Observation-Disclosures
Safely Across the James River.

CITY POINT. June 26--The attack on
Sheridan's cavalry day before yesterday
while marching from White House to tIh
James river, was very determined and
bloody affair. They made what they con-
sidered ample arrangements to capture his
guns, trains, and most of his command
The 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 the brigade composing the rear guard
with great fury, and at first threw them in
to much confusion. They Immediately raj
lied to cover this movement, and held the
enemy'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 repel-
led several of the most desperate assaults
that could possibly be made. His light ar
tillery was brought into play and was ad-
mirably served.
The fighting was at short range, and
grape and canister were used with terrific
effect.
At the end of the conflict he succeeded
in beating them of, though greatly superior
in number, and resumed his march to James
river without the loss of gun or wagon.
His killed, wounded and missing may
reach five hundred, among whom are four
Colonels.
FORTRESS MONROE, June 26.-Sheridan's
cavalry succeeded in safely effecting cross
ing of the James river during the afternoon
and night of yesterday. The wagon train
alone was six miles In length, which added
to our force of cavalry, comprising some
six thousand horsemen, made a line Of
about twenty miles in length, two abreast

New York, June 2S.-The Herald's For
tress Monroe letter of the oath, says the
news from Palmer's expedition into North
Carolina to destroy the Wilmington and
North Carolina Road, represents unlocked
for success. The command destroyed the
road and an immense quantity of govern
ment stores; captured large number of
prisoners and inflicted much other damage.
The country is stripped of all white male
inhabitants.
The Herald correspondent from City
Point, June 26th, says fierce assault was
made on the night before on part of the
9Th and 9th corps, but repulsed. The rebel
loss was very severe. .rr
The Tribune's Washington special says
Mr.. Dana, Assistant Secretary Of War, re-
ports Lees force not more than two-thirds
as strong as Grants; that our losses in the
movement on the Weldon road were un-
important comparatively, and that Grant
has his hand on Lees throat, and will not
let go till he is strangled to death. He is
confident Of final and conclusive success
We have $1,000 prisoners yet in our hands
The Times headquarters special of the
24th says the movements of the rebels late
ly are mysterious. There appears to be a
general movement to our left. Portions Of
the 9th and 9Th corps moved to counteraci
any sudden demonstration. The 9th corps
is skirmishing on the Weldon road to-day
The road has not been used by the rebels
for several days. The Petersburg papers
| say that the Danville road was cut by Hun.
ter yesterday, and speak of Hunter as al

Attack ON Burnside's Line
Health Of the Army.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
June 27-5 A. M.-An attack was made OH
Burnside's line at about IL o'clock Satur-
day night, with the intention of driving
back working party who were engaged
in digging an intrenchment toward the en-
emy's front, SO as to gain better position
in which to effectually cover the enemy's
works. The firing was very brisk for about
an hour, resulting in our men holding their
ground and continuing their labors without
any loss of consequence.
The health of the troops is in the main
good considering the oppressively hot
weather. The 18th corps seem to have the
greatest number of men in the hospital
from the effects of the weather. The colored
troops are reported as being unaffected by
the heat. Sergeant Jackson, in charge OF
the 4th division hospital, 9th corps, reports
that in that division only 40 men out OF
1000 were unfit for duty when they were
put in front on Tuesday last to relieve the
Second corps. This shows how much bet
ter they can endure the scorching rays -oi
the sun than the white troops.

Engagement near the Mouth of
White River.

CAIRO, June 26.-Memphis papers of yes
terday say that on the morning of the 22d,
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 un-
favorable to us. Our forces fought desper-
ately, repelling several charges Of the reb-
els, and drove them from the field. Desert
ers who surrendered to the gunboats below
say Marmaduke is moving on Little Rock
to attack Gen. Steele and capture the city
If possible.

Dispatch from Secretary Stanton.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.
To Major General Die:
A dispatch from Grant, dated yesterday
afternoon, reports no operations in front
except from our own guns, which fire at
q bridge at Petersburg, two thousand yards
distant.
Petersburg papers of the 25th state that
Hunter is striking the Jackson river depot,
about forty miles north of Salem, and says
if he reaches Covington, which they sup
pose he will do, with the most of his forces
but with the loss of material, he will be
safe. The same paper states that General
Wilson destroyed a train of cars loaded
with cotton and furniture, burned the depot
at Barnsville, 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
morning, reports that yesterday we made
an unsuccessful attack on the enemy's posi-
ton. We lost between 1000 and 1000
particularly heavy in officers. General
Harker is reported mortally wounded; Col.
Dan. McCook, commanding o brigade, Col.
Rice of the 57th Ohio, very seriously; Col.
Barnedell, 10th Ill, and Col. Augnistane,
55th Illinois, killed. We took few pris-
Oners, but don't suppose we inflicted a
heavy loss on the enemy, as he kept be-
hind parapets.

The RAIL AND WATER ROUTE TO THE
EAsT.--The New York Central Railroad
Company has had the good sense to re-
establish line of passenger steamers be-
tween Cleveland and Buffalo. Travel will
be large this summer, and people are much
inclined to indulge in such luxuries as are
afforded by such route. Three elegant
new propellers--the Artic, Atlantic and
Pacific-have been put on the line, one of
them leaving each port daily. Going east,
connection is made at Cleveland at $3.50 P.
NJ, with the 6 A. M. train over the Cleve-
land Road from this city, running to Buff
falo by 8 A. NJ. of the following day. The
interlude of pleasant water travel in an
Eastern ship will doubtless be highly ap-
preciatud. We may add further that passen-
gers over this route have the benefit of two
nights to sleep on the water, viz: Lake
Erie and Hudson river.

AN EXTRAORDINARY EscAPE.-The Gov
ernor yesterday received dispatch from
N. A. Reed, Jr., Aid de Camp on General
Ammon's staff at Knoxville, announcing
that Major W. R. Sterling, of the 9TH Ohio
Infantry, of Gen. Hooker's staff, captured
on the 18th of June, 1863, escaped from the
cars near Columbia, South Carolina, while
being conveyed from Salisbury, N. c., to
Union, Ga, had arrived safely at Knoxville
Monday night. Major Sterling, as may be
guessed, had rough time. of it between
Columbia and Knoxville, travelling by
night and sleeping in the woods by day,
and often depending upon the Unionists of
the South for the crust of bread to keep up
the spark of life within him.

LOCAL MARKET.-The city market is be-
ginning to be effected by the continued
drouth and excessive heat. Vegetables
and "green truck" are less abundant than
they were three weeks ago, and prices are
gradually creeping upward. Of strawber-
ries there can be little said, as there were
none in market yesterday. They sell at
twenty-five cents per quart, when if
the season had been favorable they could
have been had at ten cents. The Griffith
Brothers on Fourth street, between Town
and State, have an abundance of raspber-
ries for twenty and twenty-five cents per
quart. Cucumbers are also beginning to
come down trihe at their stand, and can
now be had for five and six cents a piece.
New potatoes as big as hickory nuts sell at
the rate of four dollars per bushel. Ripe
currants. are plenty at five cents per quart,
and green gooseberries are also abundant
at the same rate. Butter is growing scarce
and higher. In other articles of domestic
marketing there is no change in prices
at least no reductions-everything being
about three per cent. higher in Columbus
than in any other market in the State.

The bill further regulating and provid-

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE UPoN LITTLE
GIRL-A dastardly scoundrel, whose name
we could not learn, but who is supposed to
be connected with the Government stables
near the depot, yesterday made an audacious
attempt to outrage little girl about ten
years Of age, the daughter of fireman on
the Central Ohio Railroad. The rufiian
seized the child and carried her into one of
the stables, and was only prevented from
accomplishing his diabolical purpose by the
screams of the child, which attracted the
attention of some persons passing by, at
whose approach the wretch fed. The faith
er of the girl was absent from home, her
mother was buried but short time ago,
and the child was sent upon an errand at
the time by her aunt, who was so much
alarmed by the affair that she knew moi
what to do about it, and failed to notify the
police in time to secure the arrest of the
miscreant.

possession Of the railroads south of Peters
burg, was not gained, though the move
ment of our forces was promptly resumed,
after the rebels retreated with their cap
