CITY POINT, March $3.50 Pm.
Hon. E. NJ Stanton:
At 1890 P. NJ. to-day General Grant tel
egraphs me as follows:
There has been much hard fighting this
morning. The enemy drove our left from
the rear of Dsbney's house back well to-
wards the Boydtown plank road. We are
now about to take the offensive at that
point, and hope will more than recover
the lest ground.
LATER.
He telegrsphs again as follows: Our
troops, after being driven back to the
Boydtown plank road, rallied and drove
the enemy in turn, and took the White
Oak road, which we now have.
This gives US the ground occupied by tie
enemy this morning.
1 will send you the rebel flags captured
by our troops in driving the enemy bsck.
They have four flags captured to-day.
Judging from the two points from which
Grant telegrsphs, infer that he has moved
his headquarters about one mile since he
sent the first of the two dispatches.
