| The enemy on Wednesday Mig crossed over a
| large force, estimated to number from twenty TO
| thirty thousand men, u The north side OF the
! James river at Dsvp Bottom. N.gter,lay MORN
| Iug, about . O'clock, they made an attack in
| heavy force az inst our extreme left, on the
! Charles City road, about ,Our and q half miles
! below the city. Oar batteries opened on them At
| long range.
| The enemy's skirmishers advanced, and were
| rapidly driven back. Later in the day the enemy
| showed u disposition tp advance long our whole

| artillery and sElrmsher5. To- DISCHARGE of
| artillery was very heavy from 3 o'clock p. NJ
until nightiall, and III ii Icl,y heard In the
| city. IL proceeded mostly irJu our batteries
| on the Charles City road. TSa enemy endel-
YOTed to turn our lett but the gil.t was not made
| with much energy.
| II seems 10 be the impre,,i m that the move
| ment on this side OF the river IS n mere feint,
| while the real attack was made ou the south side.
There were reports OF large captures of prisoners
| but we could obtain no reliable particulars OF
| either gains or losses in the fGiOns OF yestcr-

| rcpulsed with heavy loss.
