unsuccessful at all points. They were
repulsed in every attack, and'ou troops
lay on their arms on the battlefield
On Friday morning by ten minutes past
four the attack opened Iuriously on oul
extreme right, held by Slocum's corps.
During the night this corps had left the
rife pits it had constructed on Thurs
day, to go to REINFORCE some weaker
portions OF the line. Daybreak showed
the rebels in possession OF these rife
pits, and eager to press their advantage.
The fight was at first confined chiefly
to musketry, our artillery being unable
10 see where TO direct their FIRE. From
baIfpost four to six the firing was fierce,
but we were unable 10 regain the rife
pits.
About hnlfpast eight our batteries
opened on the rebels in our old rife pits.
The rebels made several charges on our
line, striving, but unsuccessfully, to
drive US still further back. From this
time till half-past ten they made sharp
attack on our center and right, withou,
accomplishing anything except Kidding
a small house occupied for Gen. Meade's
