official figures of the loss have not yeG been as

After the fighting had ceased at this point of
the line il thought that the attack might
have been made TO cover a more important one
on the left, and consequently he entire army
put under arms 10 be ready for any emer-
gency.

noissance in front of his line in order TO develop
the enemy's strength aud ascertain the move

the picket line was here driven in or captured
for considerable distance.
Oar men continued to advance, aud part of the
division reached and took possession of second
line of light works, but the rebels soon after
charged the latter in line of battle and forced
our men back TO the line first taken.
This was principally caused by the fire from
two batteries, which they we're enabled to throw
along this advanced position. From this time
I'LL p N. the firing was not very severe. the
enemy having retired to their works, leaving
strong picket line 70 hold their pits At this
hour the signal to fall in was sounded along the
rebel lines, and soon after heavy column sp-
peared, and forming in line of battle. they ad-
yanced on Gen. Miles division. but they we're
gsIlantly received oy the heroes of this division,
Who soon drove them back in disorder with heavy
loss. They repeated the attempt 70 break
through the line, and failing in this they eudeav-
ored To turn our right flank. but Miles ready
10 receive them here At other points, aud they
finally tell back and disappeared, leaving their
dead and many wounded on the field.
