about the same measure Of lack which has
followed Geu. Grants successive onsets.

one of the hardest days fighting We have
yet had the most being in the forenoon.
The night previous, Geu. Hancock moved
part Of his corps to the left of the 9th,
where the enemy had strong position,
and the guns from which annoyed our bat
teries exceedingly. and which it was de.
termined to take if possible. At daylight
the charge was made and, although our
men were met with the most Obstructive
FIRE, yet they gained the first of their
works before the Rebels could get out and
run The result was, over 5000 prisoners
were taken, including l40 oficers--among
them Msj Gen. E johnson and Gen
G. E. Stewart, beside, as reported, AZ
guns. with their csissons, &c.
The Rebels made the most strenuous
ezertions nearly oil day to regain the posi-
,iop. but each time failed They came i'm
petuously charging toward it. but they
were received with tremendous volleys and
hurled back in great disorder.
The loss yesterday was very heavy
That of the Rebels as great as, if not great
er than our own.
This morning the enemy seem to have
fallen back, and some believe they are in
full retreat. Our troops are being pushed
forward, and we shall soon learn the facts.
The roads are said to have been in nn
unfavorable condition for active operations
In the mean time reinforcements are reach
ing him in encouraging numbers. There
are also reports that Lee is drawing
strength from North Carolina, but tht
reports are not credited. Sheridan, wbt
cut the road between Lee aud Richmond
is said to have formed junction With But

have force of some 60 900, one division
OF which, we are told. have made demon

The suspense in the strife at SpotsylVania,
is again soon to be broken, and Genera |
Grant is to follow up his now vulnerable
antagonist. The lull has not been time
lost, as preparations have been going for,
ward, and our forces much strengthened by
reinforcements. Indications are favorable
to an early and desperate battle. As we
have the assurance that when Grant moves
it is with purpose and effect, we shall,
therefore. look with baited breath for the
first news that flashes along the wires.
