GRANT FAILS TO BREAK
BELLS LINE OF DEFENSE
ARMIES CLASH IN MIMIC WAR
FARE IN SOUTH,

Battle to be Resumed To-day-About On
Equal Terms When Umpires Gave
order to Cease Firing-Fiye Com
panies of the Attacking Force Anni-
hiIated-victiins of strong Concealed
Position.
Corps Headquarters. Gainesville, Va.
Sept. 6.-The blue and brown armies
were in fierce combat when halted by
the chief umpire at o'clock this af-
ternoon, previous to this the command
ers OF the two forces had spent the
time manoeuvring for position. The
net result OF the day is that General
Grant who is charged with forcing
back General Bells brown army
Through Thoroughfare Gap. has not
been able to break the line of defense
established by General Bell during the
| early hours OF the morning. This line
extends north and south, bisecting the
Imanoeuvre zone about midway OF its
length. the northern half of General
Bell's defence line is composed of IN
fantry and artillery. General Grant op-
posed this force in the extreme north
| early in the day, but with no success.
After five companies Of the blue army
had been ruled off the field, for attack
ing in the open, a strong concealed de-
fense, hostilities ceased for nearly three
hours. During this time General Grant
swung the bulk Of his infantry and ar
tillery to the south in an effort to flank
General Bells line Of infantry on the
right, General Bell, however, learned of
1.-THE movements OF his adversary and
rushed up his reserves to the threaten
ed point. The two forces came in con-
| tact shortly after 2 o'clock, artillery
was brought into play by the brown
army and rapid fire guns spoke on
both sides, while volley after volley Of
musketry added to the sound Of battle.
The battle had proceeded only short
/ time when an order from the umpires
was given to cease firing. AT this time
the forces were practically equal, and
the situation was such that decision
from the umpires seemed to be de-
manded. Instead, fifteen minutes was
granted each side to rectify its lines.
Then at a signal from the chief umpire
the action was resumed, the First Yer
mont, portion Of the Twelfth New
York, the Eighth Massachusetts and
the Second Maine made charge on the
blue position, moving over very open
ground and under very heavy fire
from the Seventh Virginia, the First
Maine and the First Texas. The brown
charging force was ordered back after
sustaining heavy loss. The success of
| the blue army at this time was but
Temporary as an entllading fire Of in
lfantry and artillery from the brown
troops on the right and left made it
Impossible for the blue to hold its posi-
ltiof, and an, order to fall back was
given, General Bell having ordered up
reinforcements consisting os the great
er part Of Barry's brigade, which had
been holding the line still farther to
4 the south.

iSt. Petersburg, Sept. 7.-2:10 a. m.
Here is no news from General Kuro-
