Another Great Battle, and Another

OLD TAVERN CHURCH (Va.) June 3.-We
have again fianked the enemy. Our forces
were withdrawn from the north side of the
North Anna river last Thursday; and Fri
day, Sheridan, with Corbett's division of
cavalry marched all night, and Thursday
morning the Fords on the Pamunky were in
our possession. At Davis Ferry, Bakers
North Carolina brigade opposed our advance
and resisted when we laid our pontoon
bridges. Custar's and Deven's brigade drove
them off to Hanover Court House, killing
many and capturing large number Of pris:-
oners. The Sixth Corps came after, followed
BY the Second, Eighth and Ninth. Lee was
thus doomed to disappointment. His elabo-
rate Notifications would not serve him.
Grant was on his right flank, and he must
away TO Richmond. On Saturday morning
Greyg's division was fred into near Howe'S
store-Davis' brigade in advance.
The woods seemed alive with rebels, and
they soon began to resouud with sharp vol
leys of our carbines. In short time Davis
entire brigade was fighting i'll earnest. Col.
Gregg was ordered to Davis support, and
o,.,od Fit Unob leo commanded in npr.

for at the same moment brigade of fresh
troops reinforced the enemy, but nothing
could withstand the terrible volume of iron
hail which our boys now poured into their
ranks. Back they went, South Carolinians
and all, for one mile and half, with fearful
loss. At S o'clock the battle ended, and we
had the field. Three of our brigadeS whipped
