AS the hour approached Tor the attack the en-
thuslasm oil our troops became almost IN
governaole. Lieutenant General Grant, ac-
companled by his statf and Generals Meade,
Hancock and Warren we're all stationed on
eminences within sight OF each other, while
vast columns of our army slowly gathered
together Tor the great struggle. Just as the
attack was about to be made, the enemy adj
yanced on our right, threatening to press
back that portion OF the line and discomfort
| ing, for time, the plan OF assault. Troops
were hurried to the support Of the right, and
they succeeded IN checking the rebels. Half
past six o'clock was then liked upon for the
assault. Watches, were compared by the
Corps Commanders, and they hnally separ-
ated with orders to attack at the appointed
time. AT that time, simultaneously with
the firing Of twelve signal guns, the whole
line advanced with cheers. The movement
was indescribably grand. Parts Of the forces
moved in column, while others advanced in
the usual order OF battle, the whole army
moving together, and yet each command
fighting its own battles, The entire rebel
line opened most murderous tre, against
which our lines lrresist6ly swept on, driving
the enemy slowly back from his position and
capturing nearly 2,OOO prisoners and three
pieces OF artillery; the latter, however, were
retaken by the rebels. Night closed with
our forces occupying the oattleheld. Our
loss was heaVy' OUT Juogihs from the killed

than that Oh the re0els' VINO fought 70 tne

rifle pits and forced them, by hand TO hand
conhlcts, TO yield.
The HeTalds correspondent says OF tues,
Day oattle, that the most determined anu
persistent EFFORT was maze IN the nght IN TINS
locality to turn our rSht. Charge AFTER
charge was MADE by fne enemy ana our men
repulsed each charge. At length, the Fifth
Corps drove the enemy! compelling MN 70
fall back into his third line OF defenses' Inc
effect OF this repulse was apparent; The
rebel dead at all points lay piled in heaps.
We made general assault at I O'Clock; II
was magnificent and terrible. The batteries
of the Fifth Corps were placed IN very ad'
vantageous positlons' as likewise were ths
batteries OF other corps, ana they opened
simultaneously and hurled their murderous
missiles into the ranks OF the enemy; accom-
