The firing was 50 heavy and continuous as to
preclude the possibility Of It's being skirmlsh.

In relation to affairs on Saturday, 1t IS stated
at daylight the Federal army lay across the

Court House. The Confederate line was light,
and was gradually pushed back for one mile
and half, over to Mile Run, near Verdlers-
Vile On both sides of the road, sloplng halt
mile on each side of the river, IS an open
space, and on the edge Of the woods west OF
the run the Confederates were IN line OF battle
on both sides of the road, with their batteries
entrenched The slope thence to the run IS
dotted with rife pits, from which the sharp,
shooters fire,
About in the afternoon the clouds broke and
tie rain ceased, but the roads were II almost
an impossible condition.
One Of the Federal batteries fired q few
shots, which the Confederates replied to with
great spirit for half an hour.
About sunset seVeia al guns were fred from
the Federal line, but failed TO draw the Con-
federate fire.
On Monday morning at o'clock all the
Federal batteries which could be placed IN p.o'
sition to bear upon the Confederate works
were ordered to open. The siege train was IN
position in front Of SedgWlck comm and. Al
ter half an hours slow cannonadng, TO which
the Contederates feebly responded an attack was
ordered. Warren, on the left came upon the
Confederates stronger in numbers and position
than was anticipated, and asked for further IN
sfrucfions The forward movement was then
checked and all firing ceased.
