h, dds his men in his hand. All alonx IL
front new line is formed, and, as If .neH
courage came with the sight Of their GEM
eral, the men stand fast. The rebel I'd,
vance is cnce more checked, but Hancock;
knows now that in this short half mile Of
battle, he has put all his men-all the I'd
Corps. Warren and Sedgwick, where arc
they? Coming up fast, is the answer, for
the crisis Of the battle is reached, and
! Meade has ordered both corps forward. 1t
il A. p. Hill whom Hancock is fighting,
and as Hill meant to take him in the flank,
his own flank is now threatened by the
steady marching forward Of the centre un.
der Warren. Warren will perhaps do bet.
ter than merely reiaforce Hancock will
TALL on Hill, and force him to look to his
own defence. But Hill sees his danger,
and grows cautious The firmncss of his
attack subsidts. Hancock 81 nds word that
he can hold ground now, and the danger is
over.
1t is almost 9 o'clock at night. So OBJ
stinately has the rebel onslaught been
pushed, that even as the darkness closed
over the two enemies, the fighting ebbed
but slowly. Volley after volley crashed
along the line, till at last, with the bitter,
knowledge that his efforts had failed, and
that his best chances Of victory had been
wrested from his hands, the rebel leader
sullcnly drue off, lie was not permitted
to escape unharmed.
Wadsworth's division of Warren's corps
went forward to the attack, and in it's turn
was confronted with portion of Ewell's
corps, and the action on the right of Han
cocks corps became also as hot as it had
been on the left.
The Cd Division, Gen. Robinson, moved
up, and taking tho place of Gen. Grifin'sj
whose ammunition was exhausted, renewed
the fight and closed up the threatened gap
between the 9Th and I'd Corps, and finally
Sedgwick sent forward his 1st Division un-.
der Wright, and, in the darkness III which
the attack of the enemy was dying away,
charged furiously against the receding COL
umns. Had daylight been left, it seemed
as If the repulse Of the enemy would have
turned into an overwhelming defeat. In
spite OF every disadvantage our men taught
everywhere with unequaled steadiness and.
courage, and held finally all the ground
which they had attempted to cover in the
beginning. But long days march and
the night made it impossible to push their
advantage. The first days battle was
over. 1t was fought, not by any wish Of
Grant or Meade. Their forces were only
in such position as to allow them to come
slowly, and with difficulty, into battle. A
misfortune was unavoidable in such =
movement, bat the danger was past and
the foiling of Lees attack was complete.
The losses are impe,fectly ascertained, bae
probably do not exceed on cur side over
four thousand men killed and wounded.
We have taken many prisoners and LOST
few. There was no loss of guns on either
side. for almost none were brought into
action.
To morrow friday the battle must re.
commence, ard will be fought with our
whole strength.

Some things 'come by nature she says,

evident from this, that Mrs. Harris looks
