what was the meaning Of Hancock's advan-
cling sieg lines. Nine Of the party we're cap
tured, the rest killed or driven back.
Several letters have passed between Gen.
Grant and Gen. Lee in respect to the collec-
ton Of the dead and wounded between the
two armies. Gen. Grant, inolosing his letter,
regrets that all his efforts for alternating the
suffering Of the wounded men left on the bat
tleheld have been rendered nugatory.
Two rebel officers and six men sent out to
search for wounded rebels were captured. in
consequence Of the enemy not delivering Gen.
Lees letter until after the hour he named had
expired. Gen. Grant has notified Gen. Lee
that they were captuaed through a misunder-
standing and will not be held as prisoners,
but will be returned. No other military in
te,ligence received.
