Army Corps came up with tho Rebel piekets about
o'clock D. III. Hardco had made stand upon
high and irregular wooded ridge beyond series
of rough and s,ecp hills, which could only be ap-

steadily followed up until within the usual range.
The enemy had Ted batteries upon the mos,
commanding hills, and seemed to defy assault. As

across this difficult ground he encountered steady
fire from tho enemys batteries. Tie ith Corps,
also, became quite holly engaged with the enemys
first line.

Imp, inspector Of Col. Boad's brigade, received
serious wound from a fragment Of shell, which
burst near Gen. Hascall and STAFF, SCATTERING his
