the Confederates about 81 O. clock a. m., and
was for some time confined almost solely to ar
tillery firing.
Summers grand division, which was on the
right, was the first to become engaged, his own
CORPS under command Of Cen. Couch, leading
in the attack. This was followed by Burn
sides old corps, commanded by Gen. Wilcox,
and Gen. Hooker's old corps, led by Gen. But
terfeld. During the afternoon, it is said the
entire line was engaged, including franklin
division on the extreme lett.
The infantry firing was commenced about Il
O clock by Gen. Nathan Kimball's brigade
This brigade was posted along Princess Anne
street, the left resting on the old telegraph
road, the centre near the court house, and the
right in the vicinity Of the cemetery.
The brigade advanced through the streets at
right angles with the river, upon the Confed-
crates posted on the edge Of the city, and drove
them from their position to distance OF about
three quarters of mile. The brigade fought
gallantly, though exposed to terrible fire from
Confederate artillery posted in front and on
each flank, as we'll as the infantry's fire in the
immediate front. They were engaged about
three hours, when Gen. Kimball being wound
ed in the thigh, and their ammunition being
nearly exhausted, they were relieved by the
brigade on the left.
Nearly the same order of battle was observed
by mostly all the other briEades. Opposite
and in direct line with all the streets, which
run at right angles with the river, were erected
formidable batteries, to the raking fire of which
the Federals were exposed in advancing upon
the Confederates, and under cover Of these
batteries were rife pits, where infantay were
posted.
Military men estimate the proportion OF
those killed and wounded in battles generally
at one-ffth of the number engaged; but it IS
said by persons who were On the hed during
the recent engagements at Fredericksburg,
and who are competent to judge, that the pro-
portion in these instances was nearly twice as
great; that is, on the Federal side This is not
Surprising when the position of the Confederates
is considered. They have undoubtedly the
advantage of one of the greatest natural strong
holds of defence in that section Of country.
Various prisoners were taken at different
times. General Gibbor's brigade captured
upwards of $50 Georgians, including a colonel,
two or three majors, and several captains
Between the Federal forces and the Confed-
crates there is mill race, over which the Fed
eral forces were compelled to construct bridges
in the face of murderous fire from the Con-
difficult task, but in most instances was gal
lantly accom- lished The troops were then
compelled to march by flank across these tenn
porary bridges, and form line on the opposite
bank The execution Of this movement aub-

4AG SUPERIORITY O1 Inc t11y0UeIs
General Order No. 2G, from the headquar-
ters Of the department Of the South, which
will be found in another column, deserves to
be copied and reissued not only by every COM
mander Of q department., but by every divis~
ion general and every chief Of brigade in the
army. The use OF The baJoaet has been far
too much neglected heretofore, and at the ex~
rcrse of valuable lives. For armies drawn
up in line Of battle, to fire away at each other,
alternately advancing ard rctreating, when
there is bay onct at the end of their rifles or
nuskets, is simply superb folly. Powder aud
balls, and time and soldiers arc wasted to
,1nlnons extent, before any decisive result can
Pc obtained, while 9Vonct charge decides
the contest at once, and If carried on with
tigor, always in favor of the attacking party.
1bc bayonet il in iact emphatically the weap-
Oh Of the offensive; hence its superior excel
lc4ce- General Hunters remarks On the sub
jedi express this very clearly. He says:
!" the bayonct should be constantly placed
before the soldiers as the dccisirc weapon Of
every battle, to which all others are subordi-
nate, Whilst irrcsolution and inactivity will
expose them to repeated vollies from the rifles
and other firearms OF the enemy, vigorous
tharee promptly executed will expose them
to but one yolley, with inmed date victory as it's
result" This fact has been proved in every
battle where the bayonet has been used. At
the time Of the Hungarian revolution, the
raw recruits of the Revolutionary party drove
the drilled and disciplined veterans Of the
Austrian army before them in every engage.

that Gen. Hunters order will receive the at
