Thursday morning, the 9th, Malloy fully
regsined his original position and contin-
ued to hold it. The enemy charged upon
him three times in the forenoon and were
each time easily repulssd, with some loss
life and small loss of prisoners to them.
The forenoon was mostly occupied with
light skirmishing along the whole line. We
still held our original line, ample breast
works having been erected and stout hearts
occupying both of them and the skirmish
pits. All through the evening of the 9Th.
and night and morning of the 9Th and 10TH
the rebel fury again belched forth. Tbe1
had evidently learned Of something that
urged them to unusual desperation, and we
afterwards learned that it must have been
the reception of intelligence by them that
Couch was coming up overland to ioin
Cox. This, of course, necessitsted furious
and speedy onset upon Cox, in order to an
nihilste him before Couch should come I'D.
All night long they charged again and
again, making six or seven different charges
amid the roar Of musketry and cannon that
was deafening, and terrible as it swept and
surged through the night air. Thev had
driven back our skirmish line from their
rifle pits to the bresstworks, and they
seemed determined to pour their hordes
over into these. But the wave was sent
bounding back time after time, and finally.
on the morning Of the 10Th as thew at.
tempted another flank movement upon our
left, 1t IS said, that we took from them an
entire Alabama regiment. From this
ume tnelr ardor began to diminish, and
yesterday evening, when 1 left the imme-
olate scene OF action, there was every
prospect that we would soon regain the
sklrmish pits and win q handsome victory
over the msddened foe.
We have probably taken from the COM
mencement up to last evening not far from
1000 prisoners.
Our entire loss, from the commencement.

Inc HeTdIfs Washington special, dated |
tne LON, says the military situation to-
night Is understood to be more promising
than at any period during the war.
Klehmond papers of today are filed
with dolefnl comments on the condition of |
affairs which they represent as being des-
Perate. Sheridan, they admit, has blsyed
the mischief with their avenues of supply,
and fears are expressed that he will reach
Bufks Station unopposed and destroy the
last Ink between Richmond and anywhere
else.
1t Is believed here that Sheridan has al
ready passed Burks Station, the junction
OF the Petersburg and Lynchburg and
Richmond and Danville roads, and gone
to Sherman or Grant. This saves Grant
the trouble of cutting the south side road,
and leaves to General Lee the alternative
Of starving or dividing his already depleted
force and open Richmond to a promenade
for Grant

A Good Reply.

D. Williams one of the Committee of
citizens at Charleston charged with the
distribution of the rice, called and asked
that an order should be issued requiring
the colored people to meet at specified
places on one day, and the whites on the
day succeeding. Colonel Woodford de-
clined to issue il, on the ground that he
did not intend to use the words white,
black or colored in any official order. His
snswer was quite epigrsmmatic:
"Sir, when man approaches me with
the shield of loyalty before him, he seems
so bright that cannot see that he is black
and when he comes with the shield of dis
loyalty, he looks so black that I cannot see
that he is whiteP
