SECOND DAYS FIGHT-sUNOAI
fuonc expectation was on tiptoe yesterday IN
anticipation of the renewal of the contest for the
hardfought field in front of Richmond on Saturday,
and events did not disappont in the least. The
scene Of the fight was near the Williamsburg road.
About seven o'clock, A. NJ, the Ninth Virginia reg
iment Lieutenant Colonel Goodwin, who had been
on their arms unconsciously within fifty yards of the
enemy the night previous, were ambuscaded by
Yankee regiment, who rose up behind dense
thcket and protected thereby. poured destructive
fire INTO the uncovered column of the Ninth which,
however being speedily supported, drove the enemy
back and captured several places of artillery The
ground was so mry and unfavourabc for the use of
artillery that but few pieces could be brought into
play and the firing was principally by mnsketry,
which ragged furousy from the left to the centre Of
the lines.
In the early part of the battle, Lieutenant Col
onel Goodwin, who was in the advance of the Ninth
Virginia, had his horse shot from under him. and
the ANIMAL in falling, fell upon him and seriously
injured him in the breast and head. He was brought
to the American Hotel. Colonel Lomax of the
Third Alabama, also killed in the action while
calamity leading his regiment to the charge in sup
port of the Ninth Virginia The Fourteenth Vir-
ginia and First Virginia also distinguished them
selves in the fight, and took considerable number
| of prisoners both on Saturday and yesterday.

man killed and several wounded by this fire. Then
came the general attack very hot the centre and
right. Gen. Picket was on Pryors left Wilcox on
the right Pryors brigade stood well up to the
envy, and did not retire until ordered when it
held to cover a retrograde movement of our troops.
1t then retired deliberately and in order having lost
ten per cent of Its strength-literally decmated,
principally in the sth and 14th Alabama.
| Gen. Pckets brigade sustained the shock of the
enemy's attack up to near IL o'clock, when Malone
came on the field. Picket's brigade, (he Sd of
Longs:reets diysion,) composed of the 18th, 10Th,
and 2S.h Virginia regiments, was early in the fight
of Saturday and did some excellent fighting.
MahoneS brigade came the field late in the
morning. 1t ordered to proceed to a line of
woods and take position. They fell into an ambus-
cade while marching in column, and sustained
calling fire. Hastily throwing them into line, the
enemy were pursued and driven beyond the field.
One regiment alone, the Sd Alabama, lost one hum
The entire day the wounded were arriving in the
city, and the community remained in state of ex-
element up TO night when later intelligence assured
them again that the prestige Of victory had not de-
parted from our arms.
The wounded are very numerous, and they are
being accommodated the emergencies of the times
will best admit. Private dwellings, stores, &C.,
have been offered by their owners, and they will be
| occupied as they needed
The success and progress of our arms yesterday
was more decided and satisfactory than was
Saturday, and our troops were in the best possible
spirits.
The bodies of the several prominent officers slain
in the engagements were brought into Richmond
yesterday. That of Gen. Hatton. taken to the
Exchange Hotel where it will be embamed and sent
to his native State That of the lamented Pettigrew
Of North Carolina, also brought and taken in
charge by the friends Of deceased.
OF the second days fight the Examiner says:
The fighting commenced on Sunday morning;
the Confederates again drove the Federals before
them with ease, till they reached new entertainments,
hastily thrown up for their protection and then the
matter ended After ten o'clock the two armies
manned at distance, occasionally exchanging shot
from rItled cannon The enemy sent up several
balloons, and it is news to tell them that heavy
reinforcements were moving during the day.
1t is hoped that those in command have well cal
cuated the consequence of this strange delay. If
the results Of the Saturday should be lost
like that of Manassas, by similar and second folly,
neither their lives in this world all eternity
afterwards would afford sufficient time for atone
ment
on MONDAY.
The battle was not renewed on Monday. On Sum
day evening forces fell back to secure better
position and the enemy came back to the position
he first occupied, minus his tents, baggage, &c
The day was spent in caring for the dead and
wounded.
1t appears that the 4th, 9th, 9Th, 18th, 23d N G.
regiments, and perhaps others, were in the tight,
but so far the Richmond papers only speak OF one
or two.
