The kennebec Journal has been doing
valiant work Of late. In favor Of better
railroad train service eastward from the

turn to their homes In the afternoon.
Now Augusta desires connection with this
train At Newport by train leaving Au-

can he done by an extrS run Of Il miles

Meanwhile Warren sent out Grlfiin's d.
vision against Early's left flank, and assailed
the divisions Of Heth and Rodes. Early In
turn threw Gordons division against the cen
ter of Warren. The line Of the Fifth corps
being extended over space Of three miles,
strong column could not DO formed alta given
point without re-enforcements, and Birney's
division, Of Hancocks corps, which had not
been severely engaged, was sent to warren's
aid. When 1t arrived tho orders Ind been
sent out to suspend all forward movements.
The losses Of Burnside's corps amounted to
900 killed and wounded. and Warren lost
about half That number.
In connection with Burnsid5s attack, Gen.
J. Il Wilson m6ved bis cavalry division
away of OIL the extreme right Of tho army,
north OF tho Totopotomoy, drove the Con-
federate cavalry Of Gen. W. II. j. Lee from
their rifle pits and pushed down southwark to
the infantry intrenchments Of Early's left
flank. The Confederate troops hero belonged
to Heths division, now engaged also In the
other direction, with Burnside, but as this
commander had suspended his advance under
the orders from headquarters, his men and
Wilson's did not form connection as intend
cd and tho cavalry was withdrawn, closing
all Offensive operations for tho day and end
ing tho overland campaign.
The battle Of Cold Harbor consisted MAIN
ly Of the assaults described, on the LIST, I'd
and 81 of June, although tho losses by shot
and shell and tho privations and hardships

made in tho night. During the day there
WINS heavy skirmishing, md on tho night Of
