BALTIMORE, Get 1.-The following addi-

participant in the fight at Chapin's Farm:
Gen. Ord, with the 18th corps and two
small divisions pushed towards Richmond,
on Thursday. morning, fighting his way
and driving the enemy until he reached
Chaplin Bluffs. Here were high banks ex-
tending for miles around the rebel gum
boats. We were hTthe rear and ,bSloAk
them. The rebel garrison, though small,
had been reinforced from Richmond by
one garrison. Gen. Standard took thesaf-
tents OF the main works, and EhAnf SWING.
in4NFound inside E-~of. the ane-
my's other works, drove them ont. While
this was going on heavy endorsements
came down from Richmond, which were
all driven out. The division. which did
this had every brigade ccmm1nder either
killed or wounded. Con. Benham was
killed. Colonies Stevens and Donald were
but not dangerously. This de
vision behaved most CALAMITY, losing 500
officers and men killed and wounded. The
works taken were the strongest 90 far seen
around Richmond. We have strong hold
in rear OF Richmond, and Gen. Grant, 1t 10
believed, will keep it. Heavy firing was
going on when our informant left.

the south branch bf the 6henandoah, and
seven miles Of railroad track, the depot

At that place he found the tunnel defend

e Is my impression that most Of the troops

This morning the division Of Gen. Terry,
with kaut2y cavalry, started on the iup Dor
tant mission Of feeling the enemy and as
pertaining his strength In the immediate
vicinity Of Richmond. For this delicate
movement the dispositions were made Us
follows:
Two brigades OF Terry's Infantry we're
marched out by their right flank to the
Central road, and covered by the cavalry
advanced upon the road towards the city.
Col. Spear brigade Of Kautz's cavalry
with one section Of horse artillery, was
thrown out on the Charles City road, with
skirmishers deployed on the left to the
that direction. The rest OF the cavalry
deployed ~ skirmishers in front of the in
fantry, and extended their line on the left
down to the left Of our main line. Six
pieces of heavy artillery accompanied the
movement on The Central road.
When the line had advanced to the Pow
ell House, q point on the Central Road
about three miles from Richmond, they
met q line of Rebel skirmishers. At this
point the cavalry skirmishers were with
drawn, and the 7th and 10th regiments Of
Connecticut infantry deployed In their
stead. These regiments advanced hand
sOmely, driving the rebels before them with
ease. The rest of the column advanced
steadily in line Of battle in reaf Of the Skin
misherp. When the line had reached
Haines House the enemy opened on them
with heavy artillery feom their main
works, but disregarding this the skirmish-
ers pressed on, and drove the rebels into
their lire of works at Sharp's house, two
miles east of the city.
The cavalry on the right reached stimuli
taneously The same line Of works. These
works were described to be of very for
midable character, and like those in our
immediate front at Lander's Hill, thew
