October Q, says: Yesterday morning the
two great armies confronting each other
in front OF Richmond, were in state of fo-
mcntation, expecting an attack from each
other. Our army awaited, but the rebels
did not come. The enemy gathered them
selves into their Notifications, while their
rams and gunboats in James river went
higher up than usual, for fear our monitors
would pass the distractions. Chains were
stretched across the river to impede their
progress. There are three rams in James

Fields divisions, numbering 4,500 down
the Darhytown road to a position occupied
by Kautz fairly cnciroling his 100. At

front and in flank.
Our troops fought bravely for more than
an hour, and until they found the enemy
not only in the front, and on the right but
also in their rear; they then fell back hur-
