and the Round Tops remaining intact in the
hands OF the Cnionists. With the hope that
victory might yet be in store for the army OF
northern Virginia. Johnson's force at Culpis
Hui had bee:l considerably strengthened, but
before his preparations TO advance there had
been completed, SIocum had organized an
attack upon johnson and opened g terrific
ire, which elected as furious an one in re-
turn. After seven hours of contest the Con-
celebrates were driven out of the intrench-
ments they had thrown up on Culp's Hill,
and pushed back TO the left bank of Rock
Greek, leaving three stands Of colors and 800
prisoners in Slocun's hands. Ruger's aud
Geary7s divisions Of the Twelfth corps, with
ShaIer's brigade Of the Sixth corps, had
borne the brunt of this attack, aided by the
artillery on Powers and McAllister's Hills,

and though be had failed IN his original pur-
pose and had lost some very valuable men,
his movement had this important result-he
weakened Longstree.'s force, and prevented
Lee from detachine any troops from this
part OF the field to aid in assaults elsewhere
The Confederate commander finally resolved
to make Ziegier's Grove, near the western
base Of Cemetery EilI, the objective point of
a final attack With this in view, the ridge
from which Humphreys and Graham had
been dislodSed the day before, extending
