ARMY OF TIE Po7eAAc, June 23.-The |
attack upon the I'd corps on Wednesday, |
near the Weldon road, did not result so dis !
sst7ously as at first supposed. The line was
formed by Barlow's division being on the
left, Bfrney's in the center. and Gibbon,s on
the right. II was expected that the 9th corps
would hare continued on the left. with Bar
low. but 1t seems ouite a cap was left. into
Which A. P. Hnrs rebel corps entered, and
before our men were aware Of 1t. they re-.
a panic in our ranks, and caused rapid re-
treat to the woods In the rear OF the Sd divi~
sion.
This left the flank of the 3sth division IN
protected, and the enemy taking advantage
Of it charged through and tairly into our pits,
ordering the men to surrender. The troops
however left the trenches md fell back rap
idly, but many Of them wers captured, and
quite number killed and wounded.
The number of our loss in prisoners Is re-
ported at 1000, while some make the figure
higher. Our loss In killed and wounded is
probably ], 500. Some of our officers cnsag-
