Although these latter were rallied and again

J pushed forward the result was the same
Nearly sll their officers were either killed or
i wounded, and having no one to control their
movements they finally fell back to the rear
out Of range of the volleys of musketry and
canister that were ploughing through their
ranks. Being thus opposed to the copcent1a.
ted fire of the Confederate batteries, the white
troops, after holding possession Of portions OF
the outer line of works for several hours, were
compelled to give way. By eleven o'clock the
terrible slaughter had ceased, ard, with the
exception of a scattering fire Of musketry, all
was again quiet.
The losses Of the Confederates, sheltered as
they were for the most part behind their
earthworks, must have been light when COM
pared to those of the Federal troops The
casualties Of the latter, it is admitted we're
severe. Quite a number of prisoners were
taken by the Confederates. Among them
were General Bartlett and nearly the whole OF
his staff, together with some two hundred
negro and white troops. Col Marshall, COM
manding brigade of the second division OF
the ninth corps, was also captured, with sever
Al of his staff, aud like wise Colonel Wild, OF
the 5(tht Massachusetts, The final result
was, that the ground gained IN the early
morning was abandoned, the Confederates re-
occupying his former line and the captured
| works. When the report OF this disaster
reached Washington President Lincoln st
once embarked for Fortress Monroe. On
/ Sunday morning be had an interview with
| Gen. Grant on the steamer Baltimore, making
| in the meanwhile, a trip toward Cape Henry.
The latest arrival from Europe gives the
following items "A drouth similar to ,hat In
the United States, prevails in England and
ireland. For nearly a month ending July
! 18th, no rain had fallen, and the crops were
willing. The weatheris unusually hot and sui
try. An agreement had been made to suspend
hostilities in Denmark until July 3lst. A pc

British Parliament protesting against the In
