From Our Special Correspondent
HEADQUARTERS or GEN. BUTLER, juno 3, 1864.
A heavy rain yesterday afternoon and last
night has spoiled the roads, and this morning the sky
promises o continuation Of bad weather Across the
James comes the dull booming Of Gen. Grants guns.
and they seem to sound than when heard tho
other dey. yesterday that his advance guard
could be seen from sgnastation proved too good
news 10 be true.
The enemy yesterday opened from two OF their bat
teries responded briskly and senccd the Rebel
guns The Rebels have obtained quite as good range
our men have and the camp Of the 5th NewJersey
Battery seems to be special object OF their attention
Spherical case and sod shot lavished upon this
battery who unable to return the fire account
Of their position Yesterday morning the Rebels be.
possessed Of the idea that had abandoned our
works during the night and Col Dentsler at the head
OF bis regiment 22d S. C., rushed forward but when
they became well entsngled in the sashing deadly
FIRE was poured upon them. Col Dentzer was killed.
This regiment belonged to Gen. Walkers brigade Of six

Walker wounded sand captured. the Colonel and
Lieutenant Colonel Of the 22d c. and the Colonel Of
the Goth s. c. killed, and many line officers killed or
wounded. Lieut.. Col. Elliott Of Hocomes Legion and
Fort Sumter notoriety, now commands the brigade.
During the diminishing Of yesterday we had quite
number wounded. A short line Of advanced rife
pits from which forces had been compelled to 70

went to the front ascertain the truth Of the report
II proved untrue but arrangements were made az to
command the road. Last night smart skirmish took
place. and our men were again driven from the ad.
vanced rife pits. No cannonsding took place. These
repeated attacks doubtless made TO working
parties and the enemy strengthening their defenses
prevent the advance Of either Butler or Grant. Tho
Rebels are also busy the other side Of the James and
the road TO Richmond will be found to be up the Hill
Of Difficulty. Twenty-seven South Carolinians were
brought in yesterday, and the lack Of Intelligence was
remarkable. number Of North Carolinians also
captured The prisoners from this State are usually
bright and well informed and all appear to be heartily
sick Of the They stated yesterday that four brig
