The engagement here yesterday was, without doubt
the most important aud successful for the Union armies
that has taken place since arrival In front Of Peters

every point but the result demonstrated the fact that
they have lost heart in their cause, and that large

Fort steedman they at fell to plunderng the bag

would not induce them to dcsst Those who remained
in line fought with nothing like tho enthusiasm they
exhibited last summer and many laid down Their arms
at the first opportunity Of reaching the rear.
On witnessing this the rebel officers determined 10

their the works. managed 10 get large portion
OF the sssauliing column back 10 safety. Hundreds,
however, ran and hid in the bombproofs and waited

THE LATE ATTACK
The rebel attack the Ninth corps front yesterday
exciting considerable discussion; and that affairs
have resumed thertusua quiet aspect many theories
are started to explain its object From many reliable
1t d that Friday the rebels were
moving troops around to the right Of their line. This
fact stated in despatch sent you Saturday
ing. The rebel attacking column composed OF
picked troops from four divisions and tho whole
which at tho least calculation must have numbered
sixteen thousand massed in front of Fort Steed
man It'll very certain that 1t not brought into action
few hours afterwards, however, attack In
force made on the front Of the Second
corps, and tie Sixth corps attacked the rebel
lines for the purpose Of preventing a concentration
OF their troops Reasoning from these facts and bearing
in mind the comparatively small column with which the
rebels attacked the Ninth CORPS is reasonable to sup
pose that the attack on Fort Steedman was merely a
feint to Their serious demonstration tho
left OF line The AFFAIR very disastrous for the
rebels aud las cost them at least Ave thousand
killed, wounded and prisoners.
CarylD SIXTH CORPS.
Tho ground gained by the Sixth corps Is and win be
held by them. The position Is strongly intrenched
and the rebels will again be able TO occupy IT, Our
lines were advanced about half mile and the gunners

our rifle pits To-day everything has been quiet, except
. few shots exchanged by the pickeis.

losses will not exceed fifteen hundred men, all told In this
