was seat to drive chem OF, which was aS-
cnmplished with but slight loss to US -
Oar troops drove the enemy back some
three or four miles, and out of their lines
OF bresstwOrks, capturing one piece of
artillery one c0isson, anu some one hun
dred aud fifty prisoners.
Among the wounded on our side was
Brigadier General H. II. Walker, oil VIr-
ginia, whose foot has been amputated.
Between ten O'Clock and uightfall the
enemy made repeated assaults upon Fields'
division, but were handsomely repulsed 10
every instance by our line OF skirmishers,
Fields liue OF battle never tndIng it nee
essary TO engage them. Fields loss was
very triAiag.
Very near dark the enemy made Wig
orous aud determined assault on Rodes'
line OF battle, driving Daniels and Dole's
lines of battle from their astwOrks, and
capturing six pieces of our artillery.
JUhnston's North Carolina, Walkers
Stonewall, Va, aud Gordon's Georgia
brIgades, however, quickly came TO their
assistance, driving The enemy back and
recAptnring our lost guns.
The enemy's loss Is said 10 be heavy,

The enemy are certainly lighting with
great nerve and desperation.
