Probably the most desperate Fighting OF
the psst seven terrible days, took place on

mond, an advance along the entire line " as
| determined on 1T au oary hour. The two
corps having tho right OF the line, had
crossed the Potomac the evening previous.
aud met with but slight opposition. In the
morning, the position Of the enemy was
found to be in the shape Of horse shoe
and On Ilancock's troops advancing, to
| attack, they we're compelled to fall back
An attempt to break their centre was then
ordered, and part Of liancock's men were
sent to support Warren in the movement.
Our right was also advanced, and the move
was Lrg-u. In tue afternoon the eromy
were driven into their entertainments, in
gallant style, aud Upton's brigade, Of
Wrights 9th corps, got into the enemy's
rifle pits, cspturing twelve guns and about
one thousand prisoners. Not being sup
ported by other portions Of tho line, who
were unable to gain the line OF works 10
their front, this brigade was forced to evac
uatc its advanced position, leaving the cap
tured guns, after spiking thcm.
The enemy suffered heavy losses during
the fight, our SHELLS falling into their works
and our infantry delivering their fire With
remarkable precision.
Gen. Rico was wosndcd in the thigh
early in the engagement, and died alter his
leg had been amputaied. Gen. Stevenson

fall back. In this engagement Col. Multi.
gan was wounded and taken prisoner. It's
stated that Generals Aberd and Crooks
were killed, but Of this there is no conGr
nation; on the contrary it is denied.
The evident object Of the rebels in this
movement, was to give their .plunder trains
time t" escape 10 Richmond, which would
have been impossible. had there not heen
powerful diversion in their favor. The reb.
els probably had no serious inte ton Of in

tailed upon them the certainty Of defeat.
while it could not possibly have afforded
them more advantage than the safe retreat
Of their plundcr train.
They have not deemed it safe to stop with
