Yesterday was very quiet day along the
lines OF both armies. Skirmshng an artil-
lery firing occurred At intervals. and the 5 b
corps during the day probably lost one hun
bred men, their lines being so close to the
enemy that it was dangerous TO enter or leave
them
An attack was made on our centre about
10 o'clock last night, but it was quickly re-
pulsed.
In the charge made Friday evening by the
Sd brigade under Col. Carroll, the sch North
Carolina (rebeI) regiment was captured, num-
berng about 80 men, with their officers and
flags. Two OF Gen. Crawf5rd's aids were
wounded. The loss in the 5th corps for the
past three d,y will reach about 1000 The
2 corps has lost about 1900 since Wednes-
day last.
flag OF truce was sent to the enemy's
lines yesterday for the purpose Of getting the
dead and wounded between the works, but II
was refused
The Richmond enquirer of the 18th gives
the following from Beauregard to B'agg,
dated Petersburg, l6,h. 8 p. m.
" Sir The enemy made two attacks on
our lines this afternoon, but we're repulsed
with loss. We captured four hundred pris-
oners, including eleven commissioned officers
All quiet at this moment
Communication was interrupted on the
railroad to Petersburg, but after taking up
the track an pulling down three hundred
yards OF telegraph wire, the Federals were
so warmly pressed that they backed out and
retreated after making stubborn fight until
ate in the evening. The principal Sighting
occurred two miles from Chester, where we
repulsed the enemy and took two lines Of
their breastworks. We also captured few
prisoners. Some Of the enemy. dead and
wounded fell into our hands. The enemy $
force consisted of about $500 men all told.
Our force consisted Of Pckett's DIVISION
Our whole loss is not heavy"

the oddly of the thing is that the first in

Wis of Pa. attempt to defend a swindle in

of the House we're disgnsted with him, and
be then became disgusted with them, joined
the Fremont party, and represented Pennsyl-

the Fremont platform goes for free speech
and free press and yet Fremont was the
first General to interfere with both at 81.

the Fremont platform does not approve OF the

Large Number of Contrabands Brought in

serters Coming in out Of the Cold.
The steamer Matilda arrived here this morn
ing from City Point. She came up with the
mail and passengers in place OF the regular
mail boat, James T. Brady, which has gone to
Baltimore for repairs
Passengers who came up on he Matilda
state that when Gen. Warren's command re-
turned to their old camping ground from their
late expedition they were received with deaf
ening cheers by the troops along our lines.
The unusual quietude which has existed in
front of Petersburg for a week past, remained
unbroken up to yesterday morning, when the
Matilda left City Point
The Matilda brought up to Alexandria be-
tween two and three hundred contrabands-
brought in by Warrens expedition 10 Hicks
ford The contrabands swarmed to Warrens
banner, and large number OF them remain at
City Point awaiting transportation to Alexan-
dria and Washington.
The cold falling weather of December is hav.
ing the effect OF thinning the rebel ranks, and
each day brings into our lines at various points
squads ofrebeI deserters. The Matilda brought
up to this city eighty eight rebel deserters, and
as a number OF them belong to the rebel IRON
clad Virginia, now lying on the James above
Chapin's Bluff, it will be seen that wholesale
desertions are not confined to the army alone.
