LOUISVILLE, June s.-The New York cor
respondent of the Times, who left the front
on Saturday morning, represents Fridays
battle as a general engagement Of our whole
army. The rebels fought with great des-
par4tion, and retook portions ofthe ground
they had lost.
Lee still holds a position east and south
Of the Chickshominy.
Our losses "A Fridays battle is sid to be
from five to six thousand, most Of which
was suffered in the short space Of Ten min
utos.
Important movements are being made,
and in few days the seige Of Richmond
will begin in earnest, and from quarter to
render it certain.
HAN QUARTERS ARMY PoToxAc, June g.
The rebels attacked the I'd Corps and por-
ton Of the 9th last evening, but were hand
somoly repulsed after desperate struggle.
! Their loss must have been fearful from our
/ batteries, while our loss is very slight.
Trains are guarded all the way from the
White House 90 the front, principally by
eolOred troops.
Our men are busily engaged digging to-
wards the enemy's works, and an attack
was made lest night on one Of our working
parties.
The New Times special says of the rebel
attack on Sunday night, under cover of
dense fog, that the enemy advanced
strong line of battle, and got within pistol
range of our works before being discovered
By our advanced pickets. As soon as our
outposts gave the alarm, one sheet of fire
belched forth from our ranks in front of
both tanks of the enemy; who, in about
half an hour fell back, leaving the ground
covered with dead and wounded.
The Herald's correspondent says our line
runs now nearly parallel TO the Chickahom-
my, in its direction, but is exceedingly ir-
regular throughout its entire length; that
the right is formed by Burnside's corps, the
centre by Wright'5, and the left by Han
cocks.
Another correspondent says that large
number Of reinforcements, outnumbcring
our losses, arrived on the evening Of the
9Th, and more are arriving.
