RNEw York, October A. The Times
special says: The impression that Grant

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
October mo fighting occurred on this line
to-day. The rebels fell back this morning to
their main line of works, which ran from the
head of the works to the south side of the
road, or near it. This position is very strong
and cannot easily be carried. 4 division Of
the Second Corps advanced toward the Boyn-
ton road, over which the enemy wagon their
supplies to Petersburg. Two lines Of the
works were found unoccupied-only Skin
mish line opposing, and their advance falling
back before our troops. Near Boynton
very formidable line of works were found,
behind which the rebels were posted in heavy
force. It was not deemed advisable to attack.
We fell back and occupy safe position. We
lost u few wounded in the advance. Total in
>
about 2,O00-over half Of whom were cap
tured. This occurred in consequence of
gap between u part OF the Fifth and Ninth
Corps, through which the enemy dashed and
flanked the Second division of the Ninth
Corps.

and Come into Our Lines.
New YORK, October 4.-The following, is
from the Ijibune'S account of the repulse OF
the rebels on Friday: About breakfast time
on Friday an active movement was seen
among the rebels. A column of about 10000,
lust from Petersburg by cars, we're seen
marching along to join their brethren of the
previous days fight. Presently the head Of
the column emerged from the woods and
moved directly upon our works. General
Weitzel had been assigned to the command of
the corps over night, and had changed Hick-
mans Division to the left to prevent flank
movement from that direction, it having been
found impossible to hold Star fort and Cur.
tain on account of 4 very heavy fire from the
rebel batteries on the other side of the river.
As the rebels approached, they met with
stubborn resistance, but again and again adj
yanced to the assault, and again were re-
pulsed. They were forced to retire, leaving
their dead and wounded on the field. STAN
nard was shot through the arms BY sharp
shooters, while on the parapet directing the
operations of his troops. The command OF
the division devolved upon Col. Colling, who
finished the fight as brave Stannard had be-
gun it. Prisoners said Lee commanded IN
person. The North Carolina troops took
refuge behind trees, and were seen waving
handkerchiefS in token of amity. As soon
as beckoncd TO by our men they left their
covers and ran into our lines, The ground
was covered with rebel dead and wounded.
