them to day.
We would advise ladies who have Black Goods
to buy to call and supply them eves at their earli

a great deal more money. Our took now en- braces
almost every desirable article i'm ported this sea-

THE IMPORTANT RESULTS ACHIEV.
ED BY GRANT ON MONDAY.
THE ENEMY FORCED BACK TO THE FIRST
LINE OF ENTERTAINMENTS ABOUT
RICHMOND.
FOUR THOUSAND PRISONERS REPORTED
TAKEN BY GRANT.

The result of the action OF Monday afternoon
last was the advance of Grants whole front
line about four miles, by which he held the
battle. ground Of the day, including Bethsheda
Church on his right, and Cold Harbor on his
left; the enemy's force with which he was en-
gagged returning into or immediately near the
first line of Notifications of Richmond, that are
in front OF the North and East branch of the
Chickahommv. The engagement was brought
about by recOnnoisances in force on both sides.
These came into collision first at Cold Harbor
Unofficial reports rats our captures in that
action at four thousand prisoners taken. We
apprehend that this figure is too high, iudg-
ing from the forces actually engaged ON both
sides. 1t can hardly be possible that yesterday
passed without the occurrence of a considera-
BILE battle fought after the last Off ciaI dispatch
from Grants headquarters left the field at
10 q. m. ..- ...ts.
1t is thought at the department that while
we have inflicted much heavier loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners Oh the rebels, our own
in the action above referred to did not reach a
thousand all told.
