River, placed his gunboats in position to
protect the left flank and to command the
approaches from Richmond.
HARD FIGHTING.
The battle commenced about o'clock
in the morning, and ragged all day with
terrible fury. At 3 in the afternoon the
enemy attacked our right and center with
tremendous force both of artillery and
infantry. The artillery was replied to
with good effect, but our infantry lay upon
the ground and withheld their fire until
the advancing column was within short
muSket range, when they Sprang to their
feet and poured in deadly volley which
entirely broke the attacking force, and drove
the rebels back some 500 yards in great
confusion.
The battle ragged most furiousIy hour
after hour, the enemy advancing in mass
i've column often without order, but with
perfect recklessness; and the concen-
trated fire Of our gunboats batteries, and
infantry moving down the advancing host
in Il most fearful manner until the slain
lay in heaps upon the field.
At O'Clock the firing ceased along the
rebel line, and it was supposed the battle
was over but it proved only a calm before
a more terrible storm.
At o'clock the enemy suddenly open
ed upon the left of our line with the whole
strength of his artillery, and fiefcely
pushed forward his column OF attack to
carry the hill. His infantry in immense
force formed under cover Of the woods,
and starting on a run across the open
space, charging almost up to the muZZieS
Of the guns of our advance batteries, came
rushing on with yells and imprecations.
In a moment the whole hill was one
blaze of lght-those terrible siege-guns
had belched forth murderous fire, and a
simultaneous yolley from the gunboats,
Infantry, and numerous batteries sent the
enemy Keeling back to shelter, leaving the
ground covered with their dead and
wounded.
Then our men dashed forward withTthe
bayonet, with wild shouts and cheers,
capturing prisoners and colors, and driv-
ing the routed rebels in confusion from
the field.

In the Early Morning.

In the early morning, as soon as you
awake to consciousness, remember that
you are In the very presence chamber
Of God, who has been watching beside
you through the long, dark hours; look
up into His face and thank Him. Con-
secrate to Him those first few mo-
ments before you leave your couch.
Look on toward the coming day,
through the golden haze Of the light
that streams from the angel Of His
presence. You can forecast very large
ly what your difficulties are likely to
be, the quarters from which you may
be attacked, the burdens that may
need carrying. Take care not to view
any Of these apart from God. Be sure
that He will be between you and them
as the ship 10 between the traveller
and the ocean, be It fair or stormy
