Row In lho Diamond.—A hwe p.d through the Diamond yesterday,between four' and five o’olookp. ra., we observed agreitcrowd berore a grocery and a man named Robinson, apparently Intoxicated, striking and kicking several persons and threatening to fight any man In the crowd. The police were sentfor and took possession of the belligerent, who. strug gied most desperately to get free. He was press, ed through a crowd of-hundreds of persons, who absolutely blocked up Diamond Alley so muoh • that it-was with great difficulty they got through at all, the prisoner In the meantime fighting the police the entire way. There was a strong force of the police present, but as he wall intox icated they took his buffttings In perfect good humor. In fact if he had been in the hands of many policemen he would hare been treated as harshly as he treated them. We think, however, that their behavior was commendable, as there | / waß force enough to take care of him wltfiout t rough handling. He and another man t whose name we did not learn were put in the • watch honse to await a hearing. We have; no doubt that when these men become sobered up thej will regret the courso they pursued. It was the liquor and not the men that rebeUed against the officers and th e city authorities, but as it can not be puntshed or atone for the offences com mlttedx*he lnen wlio-iverc foolish enough to . swaljow It will have to and ought to atand re •ponslble Items from the Pittsburgh Catholic On Monday the ltith Inst., the Ht.

POST— PITTS TELEGRAPHIC. prom our first edition. Battle at Palmer’s Creek. Reckless Assaults by the Rebels They axe Driven Back with Great Slaughter. A Terrible and Deadly Oonflic General Sherman on Another Raid.- The Rebels Admit a Defeat of Gen. Lee, New Yobk, May 19.—The Hera, correspondent with Gen. Butler, gives a detailed account of Gen. Beauregard’s concentrated attack on our forces at Pal mer’s Creek on the lfith. The entire length of the rebel lines opened with ar tillery, and shell poured into our posi tion in showers. A dense fog enveloped the country at the time, and both forces were wrapped in a misty veil. This was the condition of affairs, when the rebels massing their troops, took our right, un der Gen. Heckman, enveloped its flank and took it in reverse. The first blow was dealt with terrific force. Gen. Heck man’s brigade in the 18th C’Srps, holding the tight, was doubled up and forced back on the next brigade, which was also thrown into some confusion. Our men did not observe the rebels until they had surrounded the passing column between Heckman's right and the river, and then attacking him in the front, middle and rear, crushed him be tween the columns, and for the time cre ated some confusion. Heckman made a gallant fight as long as he could, but the enemy came upon him so suddenly, and' with such overwhelming numbers, that a successful resistance was quite impossi. ble. Tft the darknets and confusion, some of the brigade were taptured. After this operation, having forced back our right, a heavy attack was made on the entire line of the Eighteenth Corps, with a feint along the Tenth Corps’ line, and the entire right was forced hack the same distance. After seven hours of most severe and j sanguinary struggles the I, attic raged with unexampled fury until marly twelve o’clock, the rebels throwing a heavy mass upon our lino, and finally forcing it back nearly a quarter of a mile. Our men fmtghf stubbornly, with lew exceptions,..and resisted evety step, and repe'tedly checked the rebel advance w,th terrible slaughter, but not without some loss on our side. I tc'onn eDe !| nJ ' nunl hered not less than 10,000, and pushed into a most murder, ous fire with a recklessness and steadi ness rarely seen in an attack. On our right we lost, it is said, some light .pieces how many it is difficult to' ascertain’ probably four covers the loss of li e h : piece?. 6 Finally, after forcing the Eighteenth Cotps back lrum its position and regain ing a portion oitlie first line of intrench niunts, they marched their forces on the i cntli Corps, to drive it back. Thev first hurled their column upon Gen itiTiersdtvision, which held the right of the Corps' line joining that of the Eighteenth Corps. It f„ rme d in a beau . Mi.i manner and moved steadily Bur ton s brigade on the right, Turner's divi sion advancing as on parade, not firing a single shot. 6 \Vaiting until they had reached a good distance lor effective range, the brigade poured Into their line such a terrific fire that the line melted awav, and,' thinned and broken, the line, after vainly en deavormg to advance against the storm of bullets, flew with terrible loss to the woods in their rear. The volleys were continuous, and as heavy as a brigade of musketry could well be, ami shell as nothing cou’d stand against. The rebels were scattered like chaff and broke for the woods in disorganized masses. Inder their friendly cover, and after great exertions, a line of at tack was again formed, and again the brigade advanced in splendid style against our line. Again did they re ceive its terrible fire, and they pushed steady on until a fourth of them laid kill ed or wounded on the field, when it broke and rushed quicklv to the cover of flie woods. Our boys gave three heartv cheers and sent a volley after them, which told on them. After being twice blood tly repulsed at this point, they moved unon'nld °tr r C i ft and hurle<l a Cl),um n upon Col Hawley s brigade, of Gen Terry s division. They came in the same steady and confident manner but [ were tecetved by a more rapid’ and equally deadly fire than they were treated to by Turner. They broke and ran forthe woods, accelerated in their flight by the music of bullets about them. They were determined, however, to break our line and force it (rom its position, cost what it would. They again, formed, and strengthened by reinforcements chare ed again, and after ten miryucs hot : woik, v, ere disastrously repulsed and i dii\en back. &t all points. That ended any serious effort 'on their partto force our position and ' leaving their dead and wounded to the number of one thousand on the field before our n S ain massed upon General Smith s front and attacked his left. - Gen Gilmore immediately ordered Gen Turner to attack tlie enemy on the flank and ordered General Terry to sup port hi in. Turner’s attack had hardlv commenced before Giltnorewas by Butler to retire and strengthen Gen! .miths.corps by forming in his rear. Our troops fell hack slowly and in or der, repulsing.every effort ol the rebels ! to quicken their movements and making I a stand at every favorable position until i the enemy ceased to follow and tell back ! to their first line of entrenchments Gen Gilmore then drew off his corps and 1 formed in support of Smith. f The fighting, which had been going i on with more or less violence along the ! entire line, has now ceased, at halfipast I two, and preparations are now being ' made to withdraw our forces from the’ field and return to our entrenchments ! Ihe artillery was sent to the rear except : a section to cover the rear guard. Am bulances, with the wounded, and the supply trains, were dispatched to -the rear, and finally the entire army fell back, the enemy not pursuing. The same correspondent says of Gen eral Kautz’s raid on the Richmond and Danville road, that he tore np several miles °f track, destroyed the rails, ties and the iron bridge over the Appamattox at llattox station.

Bermuda Hundkkd, May 18.—All is quiet with our army to day. The object of the demonstration on Fort Da'rling was merely to draw off an entertain as many of Lee's troops as possible, anti also to attract the.attention of all the rebel forces in and about Richmond fc to enable Gen. Kautzs to destroy the communications South of Richmond. ' On Monday, 16th, the rebels came out of their entrenchments and earthworks in front of Ft. Darling, at day break* having been heavily reinforced b] Longstreet’s corps, and made three ad: vances, all of which were promptly re pulsed by our men. The enemy lost in these charges from) one thousand to fifteen hundred men, wliile our loss was \ ery slight. Ocn. Butler having learned that: Beauregard was reinforced byj Longstreet’s corps, and also ascertained! by the rebel papers and rebel couriers thaMho^bridgeover the Appamatoxriver and several miles of the Danville Rail- road were destroyed, and that the dams, locks and embankments of the canal leading into .Richmond -were also de- stroyed. He decided to fall back from before Fourt Darling, and gave orders ac- cordingly, and by Monday evening our armies bad generally arrived behind our new lines of entrenchments, Having retired in perfect order, except Qc-n.

Washington, May 19.—12.10 p. m TJ»e Tribune correspondent from Belle Plains sends the folio wing: Headquar ters Army of the Potomac, May 18, 1.80 p. m.: Since forwarding my first dispatch this a. m. the desultory skirmish tiring which was commenced at day break has grown into a very considerable battle The enemy discovering our changes of position last night and taking advantage of the same, were found to have massed all their strength on our right, desiring no doubt one more desperate assault to break our lines and get through to our supply trains. This movement of the foe of course occasioned a re-occupation ol our old positions of yesterday mbm ing, and it was .here upon our ex treme right and with the 2d and 6th corps that the struggle has been kept up with more or less severity. Up to noon to-day our troops were advanced to with in very close distance of their earthworks where a murderous artillery fire wa» opened upon us, occasioning us consid erable loss, but our own guns were soon got into position and under cover of tbtir fire we charged and took their first line of rifle pits, capturing a considerable number of prisoners and several of their gups- At this present writing there is a ceasing of firing along the lines and the indications are that there will be no more fighting before evening or to-morrow It is estimated that the rebel loss is con- 1 siderable greater than ours, notwith standing the momentary advantage of their artillefy range upon us. The Ver mont heavy artillery, just arrived, is participating in this fight, and iskigh ly complimented.
