had ditch six feet deep. with strong para
pet, and was manned by two companies Of in
fantry--no artillery
Our men moved over open. soft ground,
some 600 yards, received the fire Of the reb-
els at so yards, didn't return it, but rushed
over the ditch and parapet in the most
gallant manner The rebels broke and ran
as soon as they saw that our men intended to
cross the Parapet. Our loss was killed,
and MORALLY and p otherwise wounded
we took If prisoners, and DESTROYED the
works sufficiently to render them useless. and
retired The operation was conducted BY
Gen. Groyer, who managed the affair most
handsomely. Nothing could have been bet
ter than the conduct Of the men under FIRE.
The supports, who were also under artille

In spite Of the rain our work progresses

The rebels are apparently just realizing the
fact that Gen. Mcclellan is making extensive
preparations to open the second siege oil
yorktown Up to yesterday the works oil
our troops have steadily progressed, directly
under the enemy's eyes, without any response
from their guns excepting an occasional shot
sent TO inform us that they were still there.
Our earthworks are beginning to present
very formidable appearance to the enemy. and
all day yesterday and last night they kent IN
a brisk firing on them, with view to drive
the men out. No one was injured, and the
WORK progressed though no enemy were
within range
Yesterday Gen. Hancock went GU, with ,
portion of his brigade for the purpose oil
driven the enemy from piece of timber |
which they occupied, in close proximity to |
our works. Our troops advanced through
and opened fire, on their hands and knees. |
until they came within close musket range.
Inc rebels arose, when our troops poured
them well directed fire, causing them to re-
treat, leaving their dead and wounded to be
cared for afterwards.
During the skirmsh a new battery which
the rebels had erected during Sunday night,
ana winch interiered with working party of
our men, was most effectually silenced and the
guns dismounted
The weather is more favorable for military
operations The time is drawing near when
the commanding Gen. will commence the task
OF reducing the enemy's works, erected to
impede the advance of the Union troops. All
are sanguine as to the result, and the troops
are eager to bo led forward.

THH Britlsh tory organ of this CITY is
daily becoming more foolish and fanati-
cal. Yesterday it took us to task for
daring to offer the man who occupies
the Presidential chair some wholesome
advice. Further, We arc rated for de-
clsrng the administration . pack OF
disunionists. deserving of the eeverest
punisbment-death upon the gibbet.
A few weeks since we were present ut
. festival, nine tonths of the partici
parta being republicans, and the sub
ject of Mr.. Lincoln and his administra.
ton was brought up at the table. At
least twenty republicans setting in our
immediate vicinity declared the Pre-
sidert was traitor, an old dottard, and
that ere long an outraged people would
hang him upon galIows higher than
uansn's This was before Mr.. Lincoln
Issued his emancipation proclamation.
That wasn't Toryism. Oh, no
