HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC,
February 8.
The result of yesterday engagement was more
important than reported in my last Dispatch
The particulars of which were not fully known
at that time.
The 9Th corps fell back to the line of works at
Hatcher's Run, Monday night. The enemy did
not follow very vigorously. nor did they make
any attempt to show their position. 1t was be-
lieved however, they would do SO yesterday
morning, but up to noon no sign of an attack
appeared, nor did the rebels seem to be in strong
force in the vicinity. ~
Il was therefore determined to send recon-
nisance out over the grounds occupied by us the
day previous, and ascertain where the rebels
were, and if possible, force them back to their
works at Dabney's Mills 81
General Crawfor d's division was selected for
the duty, which they performed to the entire
satisfaction OF the commanding general.
The column moved about noon, taking Dab
ney's Mills road, and after advancing about
halfmie struck the rebel pickets, who fell back
as our men advanced. s ssei4aist-
A line of battle was then formed, the rightrest-
ing on Hatcher's Run, and left supported by
part OF Gen. Wheaton's command of the 9th
corps. The entire line then advanced cautious
ly through the thick woods on each side of the
road, and before going far met the r,bels in
force, when sharp engagement Immediately be-
gan. The rebels were steadily driven back until
they took refuge behind their works at the Mill,
where they made determined stand. The fight
ing here was kept up until dark, when our men
commenced throwing up slight breastworks to
protect themselves e "a S,4l
The rebels did not seem disposed to attack again
as they had the day previous, and the object of
the movement having been accomplished by the
Development of their position, our troops were
withdrawn during the night to their former
ground on the Vaughan road, in the vicinity of
which strong works had been erected. e
The losses in the movement turned out quite
heavy considering the small force engaged.
The Sd division of the 5th corps were the prin-
-cipal sufferers. a5go ed
The following are the figures:-Killed, five Of
fcers and sixty-sfx men Wounded, twenty
eight officers and 491 men. Missing, four Off
GERS and 587 men. Total, thirty seven officers
and -43 men, out of 1000 who went into the en-
gagement. NE ' e 2 2am
No doubt large proportion of those putdown
missing, will appear in few days as is usually
the case. st AZ,
The heavy loss indicates the manner in which
the men acquitted themselves, and they have been
highly complimented for their bravery by the
commanding officers. .es
The loss in the 9th corps is not reported.
Among the casualties is Capt. ]. J. Cooper,
seth Mass, regiment, wounded $3.50
To-day has been very quiet ~
The weather has cleared of, but the roads are
in bad condition from the severe storm of yes

CoRREcrIoN.-As some of our city papers
have made incorrect statements la regard 10
the larceny o: cloak from A. W. Paine, we
are requested to make correction, and give a
brief statement of the case as it actually oc.
Cured. 81 tseiIf fog.ess
+ Sometime during the latter part of Novem-
Der last, cloak was stolen from the store Of
A. w. Paine. No. 322 Congress Street. As
soon as 1t was missed, report was made at
the Marshal's office, and the police put on the
'look ou'." 1t was very easy to identify, as
Mr.. Paine had only three such cloaks, and
there were none other in the city like them. q
No trace of the cloak was had until Monday
last, when Mrs. Paine saw a lady go past their
store with the said cloak on. Mrs. P. inform
ed her husband, who followed the lady and
identified his property. He followed her from
two until six o'clock, P. NJ, from street to
street, to the Kerosene works and back to the
Boston depot, thence to the foot of Bracket
street, where she ran in among some houses.
and he lost sight of her-he all the while hop
ing to meet police officer or ascertain her
residence, Calling an officer they entered
several houses in the vicinity, but were unable
to find her or the cloak. The next day he
ascertained her name and finally her residence,
and at six O'Clock in the evening, enteredher
house with an officer, who desired her to bring
forth the stolen garment, which she reluctant
ly did. The garment being. identified, she was
taken to the lookup, and on trial plead guilty,
paid twenty dollars and costs, and was dis
charged by the Court. SIT -
