The Third Corps suffered greatly yesterday. The number of wounded is heavy, with a large number of officers. No estimate can be formed of the killed at this writing. Heavy musketry has opened now on our right again and cannonading on our left is slackening. The enemy are fighting with the greatest desperation.
Nothing can surpass the vigor and precision of our artillery.
We took one from the enemy. Comparatively few prisoners have been taken on either side up to this hour. The cannonading has slackened. Rebel prisoners say when their infantry charged our left-wing batteries yesterday, the massacre was beyond parallel. Some of the guns were masked, and did not open until the enemy were within canister range.
