(signed) $50 - GRANT o.
The enemy attacked my front at about
1880 A. NJ, with three divisions, under
command Of Gen. Gordon. By sudden
rush they seized the line held by the Sd
brigade, lst division, at the foot Of the hill
to the right of Fort Steadman, and over
powering the garrison, took the fort
they established themselves upon the hill
and turned the guns upon US. Our troops
on either flank stood firm. Afterwards
determined attack was made on Fort Has
kell, which was checked by part Of Nc
Laughlin's brigade with great loss to the
enemy. The lst brigade of Hartsuff's d.
vision, in reserve, was brought up and
check given to any further advance. one
or two attempts were made to retake the
hill, and were only temporarily successful
until the arrival of the I'd brigade, when
charge was made by that brigade, aided oy
the troops of the lst division on their
hank, and the enemy were driven out
with loss of a number Of prisoners, esti-
mated at 1900. Two battle flags have
been brought in. The enemy lost heavily
in killed, outside of our lines. The whole
line was Immediately recovered, and the
guns retaken uninjured. I regret to add
that Gen. Mclaughlin was captured in
Fort Steadman. Our loss otherwise IS
not heavy. Great praise is due to Hart
SUITS for gallantry displayed in handling
his division, which behaved finely in this
engagement.

the decentralization is the utter uncertainty
about the future premium on gold. No
one dare venture an opinion as to what
its future price ought to be, or to what
extent it should be affected by peace.
None can give an intelligent reason for
the extremeness of the late decline.
