Csrrespondeoci of the Dispatch. The Fourth, in Tournament and Ball. Danville, July sth, 1855. Yesterday the Sna of Temperance of our village frere to have had a celebration on cold water principles; but it commenced rail jug iih 'nt 8 and continued till near 1 o'clock. The windows of the sky seemed to have been flung wide open and the rain descended in torrents, absolutely surfeiting the cold wafer army.

As much as they love cold water beautiful as they consider the forms in which it appears its s'reams, its its jets aud fountains, the superabundant supply from the clouds yesterday was more than they sired and it became for the nonce a nuisance. The Sons did not wish to be saturated, nor did they desire to be washed away along thobtreets into the they kept within doors, kept dry and gave up the celebration. The day was not permitted to pass, however without some kind of public Our village chevaliers got up a tournament, which came off ia the afternoon with all the pride, pomp and circumstance of modern There a goooly array of knights dressed as superbly as circumstances allowed aud tbe riding was good. The ring was often taken and it escaped some terrible lunges. Tbe sky cleared up for the afteruoon very much to the satisfaction of tbe knights, who were no doubt quite eager to display their fiue persons, their dresses and ff-athors, and their horsemanship.

The riding continued with spirit for about three hours. The following were the officers of the day: E. Welsh, Thos. Stokes, and O- N. All n.

H. L. Jeier. The following the knights in the order io which they were listed 1. VV Perkins, kcigbt of the Blue Garter.

2. Williams, knight of OoDetuDtiaopie. 3 8 Jones, knight of the Blue Scarf. Hecarick, knizht of the Lone Star. Puce, knight of the Red Scarf.

The "White Knight," very gallantly bore off the palm; but he very generously sur rendered his claim to a gentleman not in the list, (Mr. Addisou Taliaferro,) who chose fur the Queen of the evening, Miss Sallie K. Davis The "Knight of Ingleside" being second in the roil of honor, transferred his right to the knight of the "Red who chose for the first maid of honor Miss Bet tie Nkal. The knight of the "Lone Star" designated Miss Ed.wundson of Hali ax, as the second maid of honor; the knight of "XVilson Street," Sallie W. Williams 3d, and the "Black Knight" Miss Mart Face as the 4th maid of knights having earned by iheir achievements jousting the right to name these fair attend ants upon the Queen.

The aff ur was conducted very gallantly, and the proceedings were marked by the ceremony and courtly decorum which usual ty our modern tournaments i i them were much pleased with they saw. At night a grand ball came oft at the sonic Hall, which was crowded by the beauty and fashion of the town and countrv. The ceremony of crowning Miss Davis as C(Jueen of ijove and Beauty was a very interesting feature in the evening's entertainment; and it was with a right queeniy yet ni idest grace that the gentle sovereign held her sway amidst her satelites. Her court was one of rare indeed of the real ci urls in kingly countries could make a dis play of so much loveliness. The dancing continued until a late hour, and it was universally believed that such a r.ight of gaiety, wi innocent festivity had nut been seen be fore in Danville.

the young people of ten have such a night of pure enjoyment. CIIARLII.

I From the London Times, Jane 23 The lnfeillg'-DC 7 of the unsuccessful attack of the allied forces: in the Malakoff Tower and the Redan.

on the 18th ot June, reached us at so late an boar yeiterdny morning that our remarks on the progress of tbe sirge had already gooe to press and cur readers wii! have observed tfcat, although w. were not aeeojainte.l i the sinister reports in we were uuwil'ina' to pisce reilance upon thea iio'il th'-y had nci 'ved the unequivocal sanction of rfflcia! authority. Tho deapaches which slice arrived, biih from Lord Rutland and General Ji'aler. established beyond doubt that the combined roovf-mesjts of the allied armies ro-eommenced on the 17 and that early ia tbe merning ot the inllowint dey heretofore known to our military annals for the lua're of was made on thp Gi-rat Re.d»n and the ff Tower, wbirh was n-pn'sed wi a most heavy grievous logs ou our aide. Tt troopg withnet into our owo lines, effecting thPir retreat in order, and nut being harassed by the enemy; but in the fearlul struggle which took place upon and within the w.irks, where a partial success was at one time obtained, both French and English were mowed down by the means of de fence accumulated by the enemy in the rear ol the batteries.

We learn, wbb the deepest pain, that losses of the allied forces are believed to be irrea'er than in any former action of the war. Sir John Campbell, Colon-1 Yea, of the 7ih. Colonel of th" 57(L, and many other officers of dl nguisbed gallantry, (el! in our ranks, woile the Fieuch have lost two general officers and a vast number of men in all branches of the service. This event is calculated to excite tbe strongest national regret, from the check it gives to ardent hopes which had been entertained of imme dlate success, and from tbe additional such a contest has caused to both armies, yet must borne in mind that in the progress ot a f-tsg end difficult siege there is nothing in the repulse of one or more partial assaults. Tills fact, tbe first time since tho commencemens of the Crimean war that our armies have suffered any check in an important combined opera Tbe Russians have, be repulsed a timaa during the siege in tbeir nocturnal sorties and tttacks on tbe French and English liiej, although our works are incomparably weaker than Tower and the Redan.

Scarcely a alege of any magnitude ia to be found in military history in which the garrison hss not once or twice beaten back the besiegers from the works The Russians mads no five assaults on Siilistrla, and were five times defeated. The French were foiled in tbeir first on the Mame on, though they are cow victoriously possessed of it. Our sorrow at this failure, and especially at the sacrifice ol gallaat and devoted men which it has cost us ia at least unmixed with despondency, although, it feemi, we have yet to learn tbe whole extent of the resources of the place and the enooiy to whom we are opposed. As tue Kedsn is commanded by tbe ff works, oar success in the contingent on that of the French against the latter mora elevated position, because tbe Redan could not be held ae long as the tire of the Malakoff batteries cuuld be directed sgainst it We have some reason to believe that this Is what actuary occurred on aid that tbe British troops bad already carried" the Redan, when they found themselves exposed to such a fire from tbe enemy's guns in the flank and rear that, as Sir Graham said in his account of the Kissultof San Sebastian, "No man outlived the attempt to gain that they were consequently obliged to retire. Some idea may be formed of the Bppallirig difficulties which tbe French had to encounter at the works round tbe Malakrff Tower, from the obstacles which foiled their first at sck the 7th.

Tbeiirst onset, as described by our correspondent on that day, carried all before It onch not only drove the Russians out of the Mamelon, but pursued them to tbe earth works abutting on the Malakofir tower. Thero they found themselves on the brink of a huge di'ch formed by the exeavaMon of the earthworks, and in tbe ditches strong absttis or palisade was erected, through which they atterop'ed to force their way. The French troops were extremely exposed; it Is cot clear that any nf the usual means bad been provided for effecting tbedescent ieto the ditch, cr for blowing up the abatn'f; but the trenches were lined with Russians, and a hand to hand battle ensued, which endsd in tbe French being diiven back, not only from the Malakeff tower, but from the Mamalon itself, for they were hotly pursued by tbe enemy, aod, 'o complete their danger a mine washred in the Mamelon under their feet. Nevertheless, after this struggle, the French troops reformed with indomitable courage, returnfd to tbe attack aod ultimately drove the Russians from tbe Msmeon alt ge'hcr. Such were principal incidents of tbe combat of the 17 h.

we must b-t our readeri not to confound with those of the 18tb, eg the latter are ill very imperfectly to us; and it must ever remain doubtful point wh-tber, on the former occasion, ihe result which had been obtained eould not have been turnrd to more results. The detsil3 of the assaul' upon the Mamelon and the rifle quarries on the 7ih have come to hand atid as they ore necessary to the understanding of more recent events, we give them In foil. June 7. At 4 o'clock this morning the Redan gave aome evidence ot having yielded to rough treatment, the jaws of its em bra'una gaping, and its fire being irregular and interrupted ft was about half-past six when the head of the Preach attacking column came into view frora two spots, us It climbed its arduous road to tnK Mamelon. A rocket instantly weot off as the signal of cur diversion, and as instantly the small force of our men detached for ths post of honor made a rush at the Quarries.

After one slight check they drove out the Russians, and turning rouod the gabions, commenced making themselves snug; tut the interest whs ao emireiy concentrated upon the more exeitlt acne, lull in view upon the right, that thsy had to a good before attention was directed to coi tl ct. The French went up the ateap to Miimetonla most sty to and in looae order, and every straining eye was upon their move ments, which the dec'inirg daylight did not throw out in bold relief. Still their figures, like light shadows fllttiog the dim barrier of earthworka, were seen to mount up ning, climbing, acrambiicg like skirmishers up the slopes to the body of the work amid a plunging fire from the guns, which, owing to their looae formation, did them aa yet little damage. Aa an i ffijer, who aaw isqaet wave them on, said at th- moment, "They wont in like a ciever pack of 1 In a moment some of these shone out far avaiuai the sky The juaves were upon the parapet, firing down into place from above; the moment a was up as a rallying point, and dtfwnce, and was to sway hither and thiiher, now up, bow down, it tbe tide of battle rated routd It; and now like a swarm they were lathe heart ot the Mamelon, and here a fl-rce hand-to hand encounter with the musket, then with the bayonet, was evident. It was seven and a half Irom the commencement of the enterpriae.

Then there came a rush through the anitle where they bad entered, and there was a momentary contusion outside. Twice tbe Russians made bead against tbe rent, for they had a large masa of in reserve, covered by the ot the Round Tower. Twice they were forced back by the onsweepiag flood of French, who fouvbt if they had upon tbem to (ketch the iwilt event tn detail. For ten or tbe quick flash and roll of bad declared lbat tbe uncertain fight waxed and waned inside tbe enclosure.
