Washington, August l.-Information from

says;-After the exp losion this morning every
thing betokened brilliant victory. but soon
after matters assumed different aspect part
of the attacking force having given way, thus
exposing the balance to an enfading fire from
the artillery and infantry.
The programme was as follows;
The mine to be exploded at 8 A. NJ the bat
teries to open at once along the entire line the
9th Corps TO charge, supported by the 18th;
(Ayres') Division Of the 9th, and the Sd Division
OF the 3D. The greater part Of the arrangement
was carried ont as ordered, although the COM
mencement was later than the hour designated,
on account Of the fuse going out twice.
The explosion took place at precisely 4.iO,
and the roar Of artillery that Immediately fol-
lowed was almost deafening At half past iist
the charge was made, and the fort with part oil
the line each side Was carried in brilliant style
The ID Division, which was 10 tho centre, adj
vanced and carried the second line short die
tance beyond the first, and here rested, holding
their ground, with the utmost determination. II
was at this time that the Colored Division, Dri-
gadler General White in command, were pushed
forward aud ordered to charge and carry thu
crest of the hill, which would have decided th
conflict
The troops advanced in good order as far a
the front line, where they received CALLING fire
which checked them, and although quite mum
ber kept on, the greater portion seemed to becom
utterly demorallzed part taking refuge in tn
fort. and the balance moving to the rear us fas
as possible.
They were rallied and pushed forward Agair
bnt without success. The greater part OF thei
officers being killed and wounded during thi
time, tbey seemed to he without any one to man
age them, when they finally fell back to the real
out OF the range Of the volleys of canister an
musketry that were plOughiug through ihei
ranks.
Their losses are very heavy, particularly i
officers.
