In their attack upon Gen. Wise's column, OF
which Gen. Lee had taken comma nd in per
son, on the Big Sewel on Tuesday, and had re-
newed the attack on Wednesday with the same
result. Again on Thursday morning eariy
the light recommended, and was raging with
herceuess when the person who brought the
report left the neigh borhood of the battle
| ground.
Ii was confidently believed that General
Lee would succeed in eventually defeating
the enemy, as reinforccincuts had reached
him, and others Were their way to Join
hini, VINO wonId probably get up in time 20
Like part in the battle.
The Federal less - said to have been yery

From orr army under Gen. Beau regard we
have II report tn 1t the enemy In strong force
attacked and drove in our pickets in front of
MunSon's Hiil, on Thursday evening occa-
sjohing us the loss OF two killed and two
wounded slightly, while the Yankees suffered
severely. Our men soon HE'D, and being
reinforced. in their turn drove back the eur-
my, and occupied their osxeina ground.
Notwithstanding the orders OF both Gen
Johnston and Gen. Mcclellan, picket firing
is continuity going on, resulting in the oc-
casional killing and woundiug of men on both
sides. With the exception of nicket lights
| everything remains perfectly quiet in that
section.
Tie health of the men is generally good,
| and the number of sick has rapidly decreased
| III the past week or two. Rumors of a speedy
| forward movement have obtained very gene
raj credit among the troops, and have had a

| the sick, and All look upon such movement
! with bright hopes of a glorious victory for
| the South
