WASHINGTON, June 25th-The attack
upon the End Corps on Wednesday, near
the Weldon Railroad, did not result SO 6isas-
trOusly as was at first supposed. The line
was formed by Barlows' division being on
the left Birney's Gen. Mott IN cOmmand) J
on the centre, and Gibbon S ON the right
1t was expected that the 9th corps would
have connected on the left with Barlow. but
It seems quite gap was left, into which 4.
=. Hill $ corps entered, and before our men
were aware of 1T they received 4 yolley from
the rear which created panic IN the ranks
and caused rapid rereat to rhe woods IN
the rear Of the Sd division This left the
flank OF the Sd Division unprotected and
the enemy. taking advantage of it, charged
through and fairly into the pits, ordering
our men to surrender
The troops, however. left the trenches
and fell back rapidly, but many of them
were captured and quite number killed and
wounded. Our loss IN prisoners is reported
at about ZOO, while some make the figure
higher. Our loss in killed and wounded is
probably 800. -Four officers engaged in
this tight had just joined their command at
ter being exchanged and when surrounded
and ordered to surrender, replied, never
death rather than Libby" andfghting their
way as best they could, several Of them got
back safe. At P NJ. a charge was made
by the ID Corps, and the line of works from
which they had been forced in the afternoon
recovered. We lost scarcely man in this
advance, as the enemy fired too high and the
balls all passed ever the heads of our men.
A number Of prisoners were taken.

succeeded in crossing the river with his train.

heavy firing was heard in the direction of

loss to our troops. On the heights beyond
Petersburg the rebels have an eighteen-gun
battery bearing upon the centre OF our lines,

been very troublesome. and, 50 far. has
proved too heavy for any artillery that we
have brought against It. Wilson has gone
