NnhfACtcF. NO WufcMcut o1 importance uaS
1aken place around Richmond and Peters
burgh since the brilliant affair OF Saturday,
except q further advance Of Grants army on
The left, BY which between four and Eve hun
drcd more 1cl'cl prisoners were added to the
uumber obtained on the 25:h. Our loss In
the rebel assault upon Fort Stedman ia set
down at 1l9 killed, 500 wounded, and sos mis-
sing, while the rebel loss WAS mort than thre:
lines as large Whatever may have been
she ultimate object in yicw upon the part of
s!se rebels, it was most costly experiment,
and one which they will not be likely tore
1eat. 1t is not to be wondered at that Lee
should gov restive, and strira to brcak the
tolls so surely gathering round him, but the
ettcmpt must only show him how futile are
such efforts.
Saturday indeed seems to have been a day
of misfortune to the rebels. The attacks
which they INDUCED in before breakfast
Grant seems to have copied, for he commenc.
I'd attacking about breakfast time, mud kept
it up until after supper. Tic 9Th Corps. far
instance, charged and carried line Of rebel
atadpits with their occupants, six hundred in
number. 1t will be remembered that 900
of theiffricnds came in to breakfast here we're
six hundred more for dinner. Ab3ut dusk
Inc @no corps, IL datchers Kun, made an
s11ack upon lie rebel lines, and brought in
7oof nondtcd more, ready Tor supper. 1t
would not be bad plan for Grant TO cstab
lisha hotel in his picket line, with sign
board indicating full 1ationa Ne hare no
doubt It would draw immensely.
