~ A dispstch from the headquarters OF the
Army Of the Potomac, dated June ls, 3
P. NJ, says: - =
UThe fghtings yesterday was very severe
along the greater part of the line, the most
determined efforts being: made to break the
enemy's line at several points, but little
ground, AoEevsL was gained, except On the
left, where the rebels were forced to fa,l
back to an inner line, on account of the ad-
yanced position gained by Ledlie's division
of Burnside's corps on Friday afternoon.
The line of the rebels is nearly in the
form of asemi-circle, the ends resting on
the Appomattox river, Petersburg being
At some points Of the line our guns are
within mile and halt of the city, which
can be destroyed at any time with ease.
The heaviest fighting occurred on the
right center where each division Of the
second corps. at different hours charged the
rebel works in front but without success.
These works are Of the strongest char.
acter, and the rebel troops were masssd
behind them. and our men had to cross
open fields of two to four hundred yards In
extent to get at them, exposed to cross
fire from the batteries SO as to sweep the
entire space. 49,
The last attack was made at p. NJ, by
the Third division, under General Mott, and
the loss was probably heavier than in any
of the other attacks.
Gen. Pierce was wounded while gallantly
leading his brigade in a charge. !,
Gen. Martindale, on the right attacked
the enemy, and succeeded in advancing his
lines and taking few prisoners. His loss
is reported at about 500. ....-. d

loss was considerable in the afternoon IN

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, }
near Petersburg, June 1S.

The second corps has temporarily lost its
commander-Generel Hancock having been
disabled by the re opening Of the wounds
be received at Gettysburg, caused by ex-
cesslve e1ertion on horseback and in the
field. During his disability Gen. Birney
has been placed in command.
Gen. Grant intended this morning to
make Simultaneous attack with the seve
raj corps, commencing with Gen. W. F.
Smith on the right, and the Ninth last, On
the extreme left. The object was to com.
pei the rebels to withdraw from their lines,
but at daylight it was discovered that the
enemy had saved us the trouble, and had
retired to point within mile of the city,
where they had prepared q new line of de-
lenses. The cause of this withdrawal was
the possession by Gen Burnside's corps, on
Friday, OF position which is understood
to be the key of the works Just abandoned
Late last evening the rebels made furious
attack upon our left, and after sharp en-
gagement retook redoubt which had bean
lost by them IN the morning, at which time
General Burnside captured several pieces
OF artillery aud several hundred pris-
oners.
BY the withdrawal of the rebels to their
new line OF works, it places our army with.
In one mile OF the city, and effects a con.
centration of the whole force. As soon "A
the new position was taken, an attack was
made by the Second corps, in the form of q
reconnaissance. The object-the disclo-,
sure of the enemy's positlon-was accom-
phshed, after heavy loss.
1t appears that Beauregard commands
the deienses Of Petersburg in person, and
he has, undoubtedly, been reinforced from
Lees army, to the extent of detachment
from Longstreet's, Ewell and other corps.
