HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF PoTOMAC, !
July 30.-9 P. NJ.
After the explosion early this morning
everything betokened a brilliant victory,
but soon after matters assumed diff
ferent aspect-part of the attacking
force having given way thus exposing
the balance to an enfilading fire from
both artillery and infantry. The pro-
gramme was as follows:
The mine was to be exploded at three
o'clock in the morning; the batteries
were to open at once along the entire
line Immediately after the explosion and
the Ninth corps to make the charge sup
ported by the Eighteenth corps, Ayers
division of the Fifth corps and the
Third division of the Second corps
The greater part of the arrangement
was carried out as ordered, although
the commencement was latter than the
hour designated on account of the fuse
going out twice. The explosion took
place precisely at forty minutes past
four O'Clock. asz
The fire of artillery that Immediately
! followed was almost deafenng.
At half past five o'clock the charge
was made, and the fort with part of the
line on each side was carried in a most
| brilliant style. The Second division
| which was in the center advanced and
carried the second line short distance
| beyond the fort and rested, holding the
| ground with the utmost determination.
1t was at this time that the cOlored di-
vision under Gen. White was pushed
forward and ordered to charge and car
nv the crest of the hill which would
have decided the contest.
The troops advanced in good order as
far as the first line where they received
fire which checked them, and although
quite number of regiments kept on ad
vancing, the greater portion seemed tC
become utterly dem0raliZed part taking
refuge in the Fort and the balance run
ming to the rear as fast as possible
They were rallied and again pushed for
ward, but without success. The greater

person is purged by this vegetable remedy, he
has less vitiated humors and more life and vigor,
as any one can prove by taking single dose -
while using them. Every time we rest few days
or weeks from the purgadon, we make new fluids
from our food, which replace the unsound ones
that the Pills have caused to be evacuated. Each
time we repeat this process, we exPel further
quantities Of impurities, which are again replaced
by fluids less and less impure, so that in short
time, by continuing this treatment, we bring
back the whole mass of fluids or humors to that
state Of purity which constitutes health for Bran
dreth's Pills only take away humors which are
