o The campaign il Virginia, states that the

almost unharmed. Breckinridge lost ground,
Int i was subsequently, regained. The Federal
loss is put down at from ten to twelve thou
sand, With one thousand prisoners. The Sen
tine further remarks, according to this dis
patch, that Grants object was to gain the
strong positions around Gaines Mills, and
open the road to Bottom Bridge, and connect
with Butler; but that his object has been sgnally
and disastrously defeated. 1t concludes as
follows: I'm short, yesterday was busy day
for us, and dark one for Grant. We have
lost no ground on our right; we have gained
largely on our left, and We have taken nearly
Two thou<an prisoners. We have put hors
