Tho forces engaged on our side were Gen. A

Picket's and Featherstone's Brigades. The
Yankees made desperate resistance, but we're
driven from their entrenchcd positions and pur-
sued two miles. They were heavily reinforced
and checked the further advance of our men
but the arrival of Magruder's Division about o
o'clock put them in notion The darkness pre-
vented our troops from following and routing the
enemy. Our loss was very heavy, but that of
the Yankees was tremendous. We captured six
hundred prisoners, who have arrived in the
city, and twenty pieces of cannon. Among
the prisoners is Maj Gen. Mccall, captured
by Lieut.. Rawlings, of the 4Sth Virginia.
Brig. Gen. Meade was also captured This
morning. Magruder went in pursuit ofthe Yam
KEGS, but had not 'overtakon them at o'clock,
when our informant left. The engagement
yesterday is represented to have been the
most sanguinary of the series of conflicts before
this city. The valor of our troops is beyond
praise.

Latest from Richmond.

RICHMOND, July 2.-All accounts agree that
the contest on yesterday was the most sanguin-
ary of the war. The enemy held very
strong position, and maintained it against the
assault of our troops for several hours, hav-
ing concentrated their entire army for the last
desperate struggle. Heavy rain falling this
forenoon, and believed not much fighting to-
day. Artillery fire heard occasionally in that
direction. The enemy were retreating at last
accounts.
