y-yl-ing confidently. As in our case, how
ever, they were completely foiled. and not
withstanding he repeated his cxertions. it

troops were ordered To retire within onr

he had some game sure, attacked Uar-

repulscd. The remainder ofour forces bav.
ing arrived within shelter Of our works
Gen. llartrauft now attempted tn follow
with his brigade, and for the first time de-
tccted that he was in great danger Of being
baeged, By reason Of the enemy having
craftily impended his road BY cquh cum

he could not save his entire command. Iii,
loss in prisoners Will not prove large, how

Gen. Bartlett Of Ledlie' division. a new

will be remembered that Gen Bartlett lost

Thus ended this first mining operation
and attack against the enemy's works. II
it effected nothing else, it developed the
strength of the enemy's works at the point
where the attack was made Our losses
are not as large as those Of the rebels. 1t
is estimated that in the crater alone up
ward Of two hundred and fifty Of them were
killed outright most of them being buried
alive. All wounded were brought within
our lines and many prisoners.
We were unable, however, to bring of
