temporary success, to check his advance.
A BRISK ENGAGEMENT.
On Sunday afternoon the enemy made stand
about fifteen miles southeast of Smith6eld where q
line of strongly intrenched field works had been
thrown up, and with batteries in position, opened
upon Gen. Sherman's centre. The Goth corps,
forming the CENTRE were first engaged; the l4th
corps, constituting the right, and the l7th the left
were advanced, and brisk engagement followed
in which our own and the rebel army was heavily
engaged. The cannonading was very heavy and
continuous for most of the afternoon.
THE REBELS FALL BACK.
The enemy driven from his first line o
works and fell back to second leaving his dead and
wounded in our hands. Our own loss in the en-

Meantime, General Schoield pushed forward hi

bridges which the enemy had destroyed The ra
pd advance of Gen. Sherman on the enemy'S righ
