February p. M.
The fight near Hatcher's Run Yesterday
was one Of the most severe that has taken
! place in this army for some time and taking
into consideration the unfortunate character
Of the country through which the troops had
to move, and the large force opposing their
| advance, it is not strange that the enemy
should gain temporary advantage.
The country from the crossing of the run
to Dabney's Mills is very is very woody, with
swamps and ravines running thro' it in all
directions, and the only road is a narrow by
road not wide enough to allow two wagons
to pass, and many places in very bad condi-
| ton.
The Sd division Of the 9Th corps advanced
supported by the 1st and I'd divisions, and
also by brigade Of the 9th corps.
The enemy were driven to and beyond the
mill on this road, about three miles from the
crossing line of breastworks There were no
less than four divisions of the enemy oppos-
ing our men, mainly Mahones, Pegrams,
Heath's and Gordons old divisions, the lat
ter three opposing the 9TH corps, while Ma
homes, acting Independently engaged
Gregg's on the Vaughan road for some time,
when Gregg ordered his cavalry to dis
mount and held bis opponents back, inhict-
ing some loss.
Malone finding no chance to accomplish
anything in his position, whirled around and
marched on by-road running northwesterIy
struck the left flank of the stu corps doub-
ling it up and causing it to fall back on
its center.
The woods here being SO very thick as to
render the formation of continuous line
impossible the command became somewhat
confused and the fire which was poured in
by Mahone's men made things still worse,
and in few minutes the entire left of their
position fell back rapidly towards the point
they started from.
The fear OF being cut from the crossing
at Vaughan road increased the confusion
and for short time it seemed as though a
regular panic had seized upon our men, but
upon reaching the open country on the
Vaughan, and finding no enemy there, and
the bridges all safe in the possession Of our
works they become treasured and, in short
time the greater part Of the corps were in
line ready to meet the enemy as soon as he
should appear. When they showed them
selves in The edge of the woods they were
met by such a storm of bullets as to send
them back into the woods very quickly
Our loss during the day amounts to about
600, and that of Sunday to about 200, max
ing total of the two days of about 800,
wounded and missing. The loss of the enc
my is not known, but it is believed to be
fully as large as ours.
