The official dispatch from Gen. BRAGG, pub

giving the result Of Cen. WHEaLER's opera

adoption of the policy which, in this instance
has resulted, and in many others may result, 50
gloriously- The damage inflicted up "a the enc

firing on our men all day. We silenced it
with few rounds Of shell and solid shot.
We were then ordered back into camp. Our
piekets were 100 rods from our camp. All
was quiet through the night on both sides.
Our pickets were so near to one another
