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

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.

OUR LOSS VERY HEAVY.
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. Hickman’s brigade, which was bad
ly disorganized and Gen. Hickman cap.

j The Decisive Battle to be Fought in

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. It iB stated that the'
decisive baltle is not unlikely to be fought
here, and that within a few days at
furthest * • 1
