A letter from the Army Of the Potomac,
dated July IS, says:
The arrival Of some troOpt in the vicinity of
Bermuda Hundred, day or two ago, attracted
the attention Of the enemy and caused them TO
believe that an advance on Richmond, by way
of Malvern Hill, was intended.
a force consisting Of Kershaw's division Of
LongstreCt's corps, and WiCOX's division of
H.il's corps, was Immediately withdrawn from
the vicinity of Petersburg and sent down to
check the movement. To counteract this
movement on the part of the enemy, the Sec
Ond corps was detached and sent across the
james river, and al O., o'clock yesterday morn
ing the advance met the rebel skirmishers In
an open field opposite Jones neck.
Their battery was in position at the edge OF
the woods on the further side of the field A
long line Of skirmshers was al once thrown
out from our force, who soon drove the rebels
TO their breastworks, where they were kept
holly engaged, while brigade Of the First d.
vision moved around to the left of the enemy's
line, and getting on the left Of their flank,
charged them, driving the rebels from their
guns into the woods, capturing fifty or sixty
prisoners and four guns and quantity of
small arms.
The enemy fell back on their reinforcemeutS,
who occupied some strong works, built there
some two years ago. Our troops followed,
taking up position in front and on their
hank, and before this reaches you tho entire
party, II va, hoped, would he captured or
routed.
The guns taken were four ~ O.pouuders-Par-
rotts-marked, Captured May 10Th, 1904, near

captured from the 18th corps at Drury's Bluff
last May.
Our loss In this affair was only about half a
dozen men wounded. None are reported ss-
riously hurt.
Gen. Fosters command had quite a lively
time With the enemy yesterday at this place,
but his forces being weak he fell back about
half a mile to strong position, which he held
until the arrival Of the I'd corps. He lost 10
or 90 meu wounded during the day.
An attack was expected in Warrensport yes
terday, but II was not made. Picket aud artl-
ery firing is still INDUCED in TO the usual extent,
and was sharper in front of the 18th corps
yesterday than usual.
