Attack on Burnside's Line-Health
of the Troops.

HEADQUARTERS Army PoToXAc, Jnne 81,
5 o'clock a. m.-An attack was made on
Burnside's line at about IL O'Clock on Sat.
urdsy night, with the intention of driving
back working party, who were engaged
in digging entertainments towards the enc.
my's front so as to gain better position in
which to place guns 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 secm to have the
greatest number of men in the hospital
from the effects of the weather. The
colored troops are reported as being unaf.
fected by the heat.
Sergeant Jackson in charge of the 4th
division hospital, 9th corps, reports 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 End corps. This
shows how much better they can endure
the scorching rays of the sun than the
white troops.

WASHINGTON, June 90.
To MAJ. Gen Dig /:

10 Mgs GeH DI:
Dispatches from Gen. Grant, dated yes
terday. p. M, reports no operations in
front, except from our own guns, which
fire at the bridge at Petersburg, 1000 yards
distant.
The Petersburg papers of the 26th, state
that Hunter is striking Jackson river de-
depot, about 40 miles nor.h of Salem and
says, if he reaches Covtngton, which he
will do, with most Of his force, but the loss
of his material, he will be safe.
The same paper states that Gen. Wilson
destroyed train of cars loaded with cot
ton and furniture, burned the depot at
Burnsville and destroyed the track and
was still pushing south. 8
All the railroads leading into Richmond
are now destroyed-some of them badly.
A dispatch from Sherman received this
morning reports that yesterday he made an
unsuccessful attack on the enemy's position,
We lost between two and three thousand,
particularly heavy in officers. General
Harker is reported MORALLY wounded.
Colonel Dan McOook, commanding brigade.
aud Colonel Rice. 57th Ohio, yery seri.
ously, Colonies BarnedelI, 40th Illinois,
and Augustine, 18Th Illinois, killed. We
took few prisoners, bnt don't suppose we
inflicted heavy loss on the enemy, as he
kept behind his parspets.

~FEDERA1 Observation-Disclosures OF
GEORaE Dusxy FOB BAlI.--Yesterday
morning George Dusky, with whose histo-
~ most of our readers are familiar, was
brought into Court securely hand cuffed,
and his counsel, Gen. Wheat, made appli-
cation for bail. The counsel stated, amoug
other things, that Dusky was willing to
take the oath of allegiance aud to leave the
State of West Virginia, and remain in the
State of Ohio, during the existence of the
rebellion. &E3
Colonel Smith, the district attorney, said
there was nothing SO repugnant to his feel
ings as to be compelled to recommend the
restraining of the liberty of man, and if
consistent with his duty to the Government
and the people Immediately interested, he
would gladly recommend the prisoner to
the mercy of the Court. Many ignorant
and unreaectiug people, who had always
followed certain leaders, and. who thought
it duty to follow them into rebellion had
come before the Court upon indictments
for treason. In all such cases he had re.
commended bail and approved such action
In the Court. Was Dusky one of these
men 2 He knew nothing of his grade of
intelligence and his social status, but he
did know that his name carried alarm and
fear wherever it was heard, and common
report said he was house breaker and a
horse and cattle stealer. In Writ, Calhoun
aud adjoining counties, farms had been de-.
vastatGd and people had fed from their
homes in terror, on account of such lawless
bands as the one led by Dusky. He had
been twice captured and had succeeded
once in making his escape. Unless some
evidence oftrue repentance was furnished,
he (Col. Smith) could not consent to have
such man admitted to bail.
Gen. Wheat made another appeal upon
behalf of the prisoner, stating that the
charges against him we're based mainly up
on rumor-"a lying jade az best" He
suggested that the prisoner be sworn and
permitted to make a statement. Dusky
stepped forward aud was sworn. he gave
a somewhat detailed account of his connec.
ton with the rebellion, and said that the
reports about him were mainly false. At
the time the war broke out be was In Missou-
ri but came home to Writ county shortly at. |
AT first he was opposed to fight
ing only for the defence of the State, and his
best friends were afraid to trust him. After
his fathers property was burned he took up |
his gun and Joined an independent organi-
zation. He had never made war upon any |
but those who made war upon him, and he |
could prove by good Union citizens in his
that they always felt safe |
when he was about. he took up his gun
because he believed the South was right
and that he was fighting for his rights. he
said that since he had been in prison his
views had undergone some change, and he |
was willing to take the oath of allegiance
to the United States, and give bail to with
draw all connection with those in rebellion.
Col. Smith said something about an in
tercepted letter of Dusky' which had been
published, in which he stated that he would
take any oath in order to get out of Jail.
The Court held the application under
advisemeut.

GSe0PENIAG OF TIE FA1R.-The hour
for the opening OF the Grand Fair and
Festival last evening was announced by
the firing of national salute, and dis
play of fire works in front of the Fair
buildings. A little before o'clock the
people assembled in Concert Hall, when
Mayor Crangle announced the Rev. Mr..
Barnitz, who offered up an earnest and ap-
proPriate prayer. Mayor Craugle then, in
brief address, stated that the object of
the Fair was to relieve the wants of sick
and wounded soldiers wherever found up
on the battle field or in hospitals, and ex-
horted all to go on with the good work
and never cease until the close of the ex-
hibitiOn. Gov. Boremau then delivered
the inaugural address, which we will pub
lish tomorrow, and benediction was
pronounced by the Rev. Mr.. Clark. Two
brass bands were present and enlivened
the ceremonies with appropriate music.
The attendance last evening was very
good, taking everything into considera-
ton, and all seemed pleased with the
beauty and appropriateness of the arrange
nents of the halls. The Grand Bazaar
presented a scene of remarkable brilIiaucy,
and was greeted by all with manifestations
of admiration. The same may be said of
the Gallery of Fine Arts and the Floral
Hall. .4
The Fair opens this morning at ten
o'clock, and those who wish to avoid
crowd should go early. The exhibition
promises to be complete success.
