fight, however, bas not thus far been pro-
ductiye of much loss on onr side. But little
10 known of the loss of the enemy, yet it is
certain they have suffered to a considerable
extent. A number OF thoir batteries have
been silenoed, others crippled. Tho stow
but steady fire of our mortars prevents tho
rebels from reapsiring damages and their sit.
uation seems to be anything but a hopeful
ono The batteries of Gen. Pope rendor ii
impossible for :her transports to move down

stantIy increasing army will cut of all CON.

condition the rebols will not be ablo to hold
out any great length Of time, as 10 is moi
probable their supplies are very extensive

expose our troops in an active engagement
well knowing that a little time will secure 6
