riHe pits Firing now became general, and contin-
ued without damage TO us sntil eleven o'clock,
the rihe-ps falling into our possession. From ii
till o'clock the firing slackened, but a !
o'clock srrived, there were indications Of
smother clash Of arms bloody than the historian
Of the war has yet recorded. The Rebels under
Gen. Ewc now mado Q concentration OF all their
artillery, and opened terrible artillery fire on our
left cener. Battery after battery roared, shaking
The surrounding bills and shot and she'll raned
death and destruction upon our lines.
TIE Second Corps occupied the center. and the po-
stion which wthstood the last convulsve attack Of
the Rebels was commanded by Gen. Hayes. The
enemy followed their artillery with tremendous
infantry asssult under the Rebel Gen. Anderson,
coming up in masses, sometimes In ciose
column by division. Our men stood Ike serried
bostr and on came the enemy, crowdng, shouting,
aud rushing toward our guns like infuriai,d demons
There was no wnvsr in our lines. On came he Rebel
while the canister from batteries told iesrtully
among their dying ranks. Now they are within
twenty Yards of our guns, and volley after vollev
Of shot and shell aud wbizzing bullets 90 crashing
down smong them, dealing death and scattering
the motley ranks u die Surrender.

up white pieces OF paper in token Of surrender. In
this repulse took several thousand Irisoners, aud
crowds Of Rebel .trageers into oar lines giv'

Gen. Hsncock's corvs now fanked The field, when
crowds u disorgauizcd Rebels threw up their arms
and ,nneudsr,d, while the field ,irewn with
