In this affair our forces were repulsed; the
rebels app, aring in erwhelmiug numbers,
having been reinforced at the critical moment.
Our forces fell back to a good position at
nightfail, and have not since been moiested.
Matters here are growing big with porteat
events, and are already extremely exciting In
their general aspect. Here we are in this de-
voted city once more preparing to stand anoth-
er siege, which we trust General Grant may
make as disastrous as the one made last NO.

Skirmishing is going on constantly every day
along our entire line. The rebels seem to think
we have fallen back from weakness. and
would bring on general engagement, but of
course we have great advantage in retiring IN

in position.
