The m.« intry Support, surprised, retired after a fet | show of resistance, leaving four gans: in the hands of the rebels. Our line was reformed, Themen were grow- ‘used to Lee’s new practice of acting entire- ly on the defenrive, and must have been con- fused by his bold onset. Two divisions of the 5th corps were within easy supporting distance on the right, and the 6th co! were ready for any hostilities on the left. Charges were made by the rebels, who suffered severely with each fresh assault. {t is rumored that we had re- taken the four guns captured early inthe after. noon, and several more belonging tothe enemy. This, however, needs confirmation. There was heavy firing in front of the 9th corps about midnight. At times the musketry broke outintoregular volleys, All nightour cannons fired at regular intervals. Detailed Account. (Despatch to the Uhronicle.} PETERSBURG, June 22.—The 2a corps with- drew from ‘its central position last night, and marched westward toward the Gaston and Petersburg railroad. Portions ot Gen. Smith’s corpsreturned tothe Appomattox,'and went into their old position on the right of our grand army. This relieved the 6th corps, which fol- lowed the 2d, moving by the left flank. Smith and Burnside held the right, resting near Petersburg, on the Appomattox. Burnside, with his division of negroes in reserve, oceu- pied the centre, the 6th and 2d corps holding the other wing in the neighborhood: of the Gaston ranlroad. Two o'clock, the enemy showed himself in strong force. The Second corps formed in front of the Jerusalem Plank road, and were yigorously oppesed by Hill’s corps. Our ar- tillery; of which we have great abundance, was soon in position, and playing lively airs for the division of the rebels. A battery of the 12th New York artillery held the advance post, and seemed to be doing terrible execution, tor the rebels relinquished all vows toact only on the defensive, and charged it. They suc- ceeded in getting in on our flank before dis- covered. The supports, all brave men and true, were so surprised at the sudden and un- " M ’ ve re Ww Thy. . .

A Story of Whist, I tell the story as nearly as I can as he rem lated it to me: «I used to play agood deal with Rechberg,” sald he, ‘and took pleasure in wor- rying him, for he was @ great purist in his play, and was outraged with anything that could not be sustained by any authority. In fact, each game was followed bya discussion of full half an hour, tothe intense mortifica- tion of the other players, though very amn- sing to me, and offering large opportunity to irritate and plague the Austrian, «One evening, after a number of these dis- cussions, in which Rechberg had displayed an even unusual warmth and irritability, 1 found myself opposed to him in a game, the interest of which had drawn around us a large assem- blage ef spectators—what the French designate as la galerie. Toward the conclusion of the game it was my turn to lead, and! playeda card which so astounded the Austrian minis- ter that he laid down his cards upon the table and stared fixedly at me. “In allmy experience of whist,” said he, deliterately, «I never saw the equal of tnat.’* “Of what?” asked IL. “Of the card you have just played,” rejoined he. ‘It isnot merely that such play violates Cre ee of the game, but it actually stultifes all your own combinations.” “I think differently, Count,” said I, «> maintain that it is a good play, and I abide by it.” ‘* Let us decide it by a wager,” said he. «In what way 1” «sTnus: We shall leaye the question to the galerie. You shall allege what you deem to be the reasons for your play, and they’ shall de- cide if they accept them as valid,’ ««Tagre@, What will you bet?’ “Ten Napoleons—twenty, fifty, five hun- dred, if you like!’ cried he, warmly, «<I shall say ten. You don't like losing, and I don’t want to punish you too heayily.’ « ‘There is the jury, sir,’ said he haughty, ‘make your case. “«¢ The wager is this,’ said I, ‘that, to win, I shall satisfy these gentlemen that for the card I played I had sufficient and good reason.’ “se Yes.’ «««My reason was this, then—I looked into: your hand? « I pocketed his ten Napoleons, but they were the last I won of him, Indeed, it tooka month before he got over the shock.” COLLISION OF AUTHORITY Between Goy- ERNOR PIZRPONT AND GENERAL ButTLER.— Goy. Pierpont, of Va, has issued an address to the loyal citizens of Norfolk, in which he says: “I have received reliable intelligence that Gen. Shepley. acting uder the orders of Gen. Butler, intends to order a poll to be opened on the 24th of this month, to take a vote of the people of Norfolk whether they desire civiF goyernment to be continued in that city, and if @ majority of votes are cast against the contin nance of civil government, Gen. Shepley in- tends, by military force, to prevent the trial in: the Circuit Comrt of come thirty-odd indicts ments against liquor venders in that city, who have violated the license laws of the State. I know of no authority in the State or Federal laws authorizing the people to abrogate the civil laws of the State-in any city or county, and such &ct can only be considered revola- tionary. Therefore, no loyal citizen will be expected to vote.on the proposed questign.” eat is Reena viens 7 Miss Mandana Tileston, daughter of the ‘was married a few weeks since, at ‘Oxford, Ohio, to Rey.
