On sunday morning the rebels received ~
Inducements under Gen. Garnet, some 5.OOO.
while Gen. Shields force did not exceed To-
900. At lO4 the enemy made fcint On our
left, which commenced by acting briyadirr
Sullivan opening heavy fire Of artillery,
while the real attack was made on our right,
where the fighting was d,ne. The reb~h
were strongly posted in the woods and behind
the hill, and the artillery was posted On cmin-
ences on both sides Of their leff wing. Our
whole artillery force was engaged, "a pieces.
ADDITiONAL.-Thc fight ragged furiously
till p. m. The fighting was chiefly done
by the artillery alta distance Of and 400
yards,-often less. The rebel infantry at
tempted to capture Dunn's battery by a
charge. The first effort was nearly success
full, but receiving heavy charge Of grape,
they retired in confusion. A second weaker
attempt was defeated. Gen. Tyler now Or
dered his brigade to charge tho enemy's bat
teries on the left and a most deadly encOa inter-
ensued. Twice our men receded under the
storm, but on the third, the rebels were rout-
ID with tremendous slaughter. Our loss was
heavy. Many officers were killed and wound
ID.
The enemy's killed and wounded now
trewed the ground in prohliscuous heaps.
Their left was entirely broken and their cen.
re wavering. On their side the 4th and 5th
Virginia regiments suffered most. The for
ncr were terribly deeimated. Several At.
cmWs to rally the right wing failed, and to
i'd to the confusion, an Irish battalion Of
$50 men was brought forward and ordered to
ire on the Union troops. They refused, and
, rebel regiment drove this gallant little band
Onward but could not compel them to fire up
IN us. 40 corpses Of the $50 afterwards
,trcwed the field. Meanwhile, the rebels
yave way OH their left and centre, with
oss Of 700 killed and wounded, and 236
AIKEN prisoners. Besides these, about 1875
nuskcts taken, and many other valuable tro-
phes. Our loss does not exceed $50 killed
