The assault by Newfon's Brigade was simulta-
neous with that Of Davis. Harkers Brigade
was in the right Wagner in the centre, Kimball
retired in reserve on the left. Details from
Woods and Staney's Divisions covered the as
saut, which was made in column of Regiment
and DivisOn-that is, front of two companies,
--each Brigade thus being about thirty lines
deep.
At half past the columns moved forward at
the double quick, receiving Immediately tho
same terrific fire which we met at other points
of the line The Rebels opened with en-
tiladiDg batteries, tearing gaps in our columns,
but not checking the onset. Wagner struck
an entire battery fairly in the teeth, aud
his algnments were blown 10 pieces; his
men, however, struggled forward, and some
were clear through the murderous abattis.
Few, indeed, of the latter escaped death.
Harker's struggles were equally gallant and
equally destructive. Harker fell in the height
of the furious charge mortally wounded, sur
JiynR but an hour. The gallant struggle ended
like the others, by our troops retiring, but not
until long after the contest was visby decided.
The loss in DaYis Division is about 500. That
In Newtons about the same.
Wherever the Rebels attempted TO pursue our
assaulting columns, while retiring, they were
promptly repulsed by the supports, which other
wise were not engaged While these assaults
were in progress, the division on the right OF tho
l4th Corps advanced and captured an important
ridge in their front without great opposition.
A heavy force of infantry was also moved 10 a
point nine miles southeast of Marietta, aud
within three miles of the Chattahoochee river,
without meeting with any contending force. The
result of the assaults, In which not more than ten
brigadcs directly participated, is that we ad-
vaDced our lines at every point where assaults
were made except one. Our loss in the whole
affair will hardly reach two thousand. -Four
corps were not engaged at all.-CiR. Com.
