I sent YOU last night an account Of the Champion
Hill and Black River Bridge battles. The former
proves to have cutaed IA larger loes upon our army
than was u, first supposed. Our wounded alone
amount 10 "a trihe above 200.
The enomys loss is acknowledged to have been
not over half that We had about 20 90 troope en-
gused; the Rebels about 10000 according TO nc
conu,s of their wounded. We took 5000 prisoners,
aud 3. 900 al the battle OF the bridge.
Gen Sherman crossed the pontooD bridges.
McPhersons and Netherlands corps built the
bridges on Sunday night, and crossed their COM
mands by Monday noou.
By 4 O'Clock the advance Of Gen. Sherman's
co ps under Gen. Steele, reached the enemy's orks
back Of the city and took position the right, on
the bluffs above il, and commenced bOmbardment
Gen Mcpherson planted his command IN front, or III
our center, and Gen. McClernaud took the extreme
left reaching almos. 10 tho river below.
The possibility Of escape is cut OIL Every living
man, woman, and child in the city must TALL into
our hands.
All tho forenoon yesterday the different brigades
were taking positions, forming lines OF battle &c
and at oclock the battle began in earnest. Skir-
uishing had been going on all the forenoon.
Gen. Steele drove the enemy from several forts
and took one compl ete line of Qualifications fronted
by riie.pits. His extreme right rested on tho river
bank under the bluffs, al shutdown.
HIS division fought CALAMITY ali day, though hun
cry, dirty, iootsore, anu sleepy.
Snermtn's left and McPheIson's right are in sup
porting distance. Both advanced their lines OF
skirnirhers to within fifty yards OF the breastworks
aud their artillery to within five hundred yards, and
are ia position ut these distances this morning.
McClernand is not progressing 80 fast, but is doing
well.
We lost about 500 killed and wounded yesterday.
This morning IA simultaneous assault will be or
dered on the enemy's works, ! understand, from Ill
points, IL cannot tail OF success.
: The fight yesterday was grand beyond DESCRIPTION.
must close with this imperfect and unsatsiacto-
nv generalization because the courier leaves instant
Iy, and neither have now, nor had yesterday al
opportunity OF writing more.
