THR NORTH SIDE. 77

Il d. I
The enemy on Wednesday night crossed
/ over larges force, estimated to number
from twenty to thirty thousand men, to the
north side of the James River, at Deep
Bottom. Yesterday morning about nine
O'Clock, they made an attack in heavy force
against our extreme left, on the Charles
City road, about four and half miles be-
low the city. Our batteries opened on
them at long range, The enemy's skirm'
ishers advanced, and we're repeatedly drtV-
en- back. Later in the day the enemy
showed disposition TO advance along our
whole front, but on every advance were
checked by our artillery and sklrmishers.
The discharge of artillery was very heavy
from O'Clock p. N. until nightfall, and was
distictly heard in the city. It proceeded
mostly from our batteries on the Charles
City road. The enemy endeavored to turn
our left. but the effort was not made with
much energy. 1t seems to be the impress
sion that the movement on this side Of the
river was a mere feint, while the real at
tack was made on the south side. There
we're reports of large captures of prisoners,
but we could obtain NO reliable particulars
of either gains or losses in the operations
of yesterday, further than that the enemy
were everywhere repulsed with heavy loss.
LATBR.
NINE o'CLocK, P. n.
Five hundred prisoners have just arrived,
captured on the Darlington and Charles
City roads. A dispatch from the operator
at Chaffin's states that we also 'repulsed
the enemy on the williamsburg road, cap
turing two hundred prisoners and four
stands of colors. Officers just from the
front say that the enemy were several times
repulsed, with terrible loss in killed and
wounded. Our loss on the north side,
thanks to merciful Providence, was not
over twenty.f five men.oin the whole days
operations. u.s-e, 1es,- % &C.
THE SOUTH SIDE.
. At eight o'clock yesterday morning the
enemy made an attack on our extreme
right on the Boydtown road, between the
Weldon and Southside railroad, about
seven miles southwest of Petersburgh.-
Passengers who came over on the evening
train report the fighting as having been
very severe, the enemy having assaulted
our position seven times, and were seven
times tepulsed, suffering heavily on each.
occasion. The fighting had not ceased
when the cars left. Weregret to hear that
General James Dsaring was among the
killed. He was from Campbell county, Va,
only twenty-five years old, and one of the
most promising young officers in the cav
airy service.

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-About thirty five years
ago, the Msssrs. Fairbanks invented and be
gan making platform Scales, which effected
complete change in the manner of doing such
business as requires weighing, and without
which it would be impossible TO do the present
immense amount Of business in the country.
Since then they have given their constant
personal attention to the business, making all
such improvements and adding such modifca-
ucns as their experience has shown to be
