The batteries on the right and center of our

success.

Norning.-At the point of our line Just
west Oh lne Jerusalem plank road, occupied
oy the I'd division of the Sd corps, the pickets
have been so elise together that they could
converse without difficulty. On part of this
line and some distance in the rear Of their ad-
vance, the enemy had thrown up line of
slight works with the intention, 1t Is supposed,
OF falling back to them when occasion demand
ed. 1t was determined last night TO drive
them back TO their line and thus straighten
our own. About midnight the division was
formed in line of battle and the picket line
being reinforced was ordered to advance
The rebels were evidently taken by surprise as
nearly their entire line was captured. Our
men now occupy the line securely entrenched.
We took about 100 prisoners. Our loss is
very slight. Desultory firing has been kept
up in this vicinity all the morning. The enc
my evidently feel sore at being taken by sur

AUGUsTA,-our correspondent informs us
that the copperhead effort in that city on Tues.
day night was perfect fzzle. The meeting
was called in front of the High School house,
and not more than twenty-five persons assem-
bled. They adjourned to the railroad depot
where quite crowd collected. Judge Rice
and A. p. Gould were the speakers. Gould
was coarse and indecent as usual, and soldiers
present responded TO some of his treason with
groans, and three rousing cheers for Lincoln
in response to one OF his yIrtuperatlve assaults.
The discounted copperheads reported tina,
they were rotten-egged, but we are assured
there was no such thing; the only Interrupt
tions being those we have named.
