effectively. Until ILongstreet's Corps, which
had not yet arrived, should come up. To
distract attention, therefore, Lee resolved
to make threatening demonstration
against the UIion right. Thus it came
about that - minutes before the time ap-
pointed by Grant for the general attack,
a sudden outburst Of musketry from the
direction of Sedgwick announced that Lee
was beforehand with him in offensive pur-
poses.
The attack was made upon Seymour's
Brigade on the extreme right, involved
the whole of Ricketts's Division, and then
Wright's. But. as has been seen, it had
no serious character, and was not pushed
with much vigor: 50 that Sedgwick not
only yielded no ground, but was able to
push his front forward a few hundred
yards. At the same time Warren and
Hancock joined in the general attack. But
as the left was the point at which, as by
common consent, the fercest dispute took
place, | shall first of all set forth the Sc
quence of events on that flank.
When, at 5 o'clock, Hancock opened his
attack by an advance of his two right divi-
sions under Birney. together with Getty's
command, (1O3) and pushed forward on
the right and left of the Orange plankroaL
the onset was made with such vigor, aud
Lee was yet so weak on that flank, owing
TO the non-arrival Of Longstreet, 11O) that,
for a time, it seemed as though great
victory would then be snatcheh. At the
same time that Hancock opened direct
attack, Wadsworth's Division. I11) which
had the evening before secured position
to assail Hills flank, took up the action,
and fought its way across that part of
the Second Corps posted on the right of
the pIankroad. The combined attack over
powered the .Confederates. and after an
hOnrs. severe contest, the whole hostile
front was carried. and Hills Divisions
under Wilcox and Heth were driven for a
mile and a half through the woods under
heavy loss and back on the trains and ar
tillsry, and the Confederate headquarters
I12) But here, whether the significance
OF the success was not understood, or be-
cause further advance was rendered impos-
sible, owing to the disintegration of Ham
cocks line in advancing SO far through the
thickets. a halt was cried, and readjust-
will presently appear, forfeited all the
gain: for. at the hight of Hills confused
retreat, Anderson's Division. soon followed
by the head of Longstreet's column, came
or the ground. When, therefore, about 8
o'clock, after an interval of two hours,
taken up in the rehabilitation of the line,
Hancock, who had been reinforced by
Stevenson's Division of the Ninth Corps,
in addition to- ,Wadsworth's Division. re-
sumed the s9vaIce. he met bitter opposi-
