r side, was Brigadier General H. H. Walker, of Virginia, whose foot has been amputated. Between 10 o'clock and nightfall the enemy made repeated assaults upon Field's Division, but were handsomely repulsed in every instance by our line of skirmishers, Field's line of battle never finding it necessary to engage them. Field's lField's line of battle never finding it necessary to engage them. Field's loss was very trifling. Very near dark the enemy made a most vigorous and determined assault upon Rodes's line of battle, driving Daniel's and Dole's lines of battle from their breastworks, and capturing six pieces of our artillery. Johnston's North Carolina, Walker's Stonewall, Va, and Gordon's Georgia Brigade, however, quickly came to their assistance, driving the enemy back, and recapturing our lost guns. The enemy's loss is said to be very heavy, especially in Field's and Rodes's front — The enemy are certainly fighting with great nerve and desperation. The Yankee Major General Sedgwick is certainly killed, and it is reported that Warr

light, the enemy having massed heavy forces in front of Johnson's division, made a most vigorous assault upon Jones's brigade. For a while our line of battle was broken, and the enemy pressed over our breastworks, gaining possession of several pieces of our artillery and capturing a number of prisoners. Forces, however, were quickly sent to the relief of those thus engaged, and the enemy was driven back. About 10 o'clock this morning the enemy made most vigorous and repeated assaults upon Field's division, but were driven back with great slaughter. At 2 o'clock P. M., the enemy are making a most desperate fight in Ewell's front, but all accounts concur that we are driving them back and punishing them with great slaughter. The musketry firing to-day was the heaviest of the war. The battle has extended along the whole line to-day, and has been fought by the Yankees with more vim and bravery than any other fought on Virginia soil. Among our casualties are Brig. Gen. Per

my yesterday threw a force of infantry on our extreme left and engaged our cavalry, protecting that flank. Our cavalry (Chambliss's brigade) fought them a considerable time, when they were reinforced by infantry, driving the enemy back and capturing from him some seventy or eighty prisoners. Everything is quiet at 12 o'clock today. The bearing of most of our troops was superb on Thursday last; but Harris's, Mabone's, and Lane's, and Pegram's brigades I have heard specially commended, as also the whole of Rodes's and Field's divisions. Early and Anderson, as commanders of corps, have shown extraordinary abilities and fitness for their positions. The roads are deep in mud, thus enbancing the difficulties of transportation. Their need, however, he no apprehensions on the score of rations, forage or ammunition. The wounded are being sent off as rapidly as possible. Yankee Generals Robertson and Stevenson are certainly killed, and rumor says several others. X.

in conjunction with the Floridians, was irresistible. In the accounts published on Saturday the mention of the heavy fighting on Kershaw's front failed to convey a correct idea of the part taken by Law's, Anderson's, and Gregg's brigades, of Field's division, in repelling the repeated and determined assaults of the enemy in Friday's battle.--These troops, although on Gen. Kershaw's line, were occupying the trenches at the time the attack was made, and to them great credit is due for the stny magnitude or importance have occurred between these two contending hosts, and the situation is essentially the same that it was at the close of those repeated and desperate charges. On Friday evening the enemy attacked Early's front, and also Field's, of Longstreet's corps, but were easily repulsed. About eight o'clock on Friday night, as Hoke, Breckinridge and Mahene were moving forward in order to re-establish the picket lines, which had been temporarily deranged by the slight repuls

nment and railroad buildings have been burned at Staunton. We leave to-morrow. A dispatch from Gen. Grant's headquarters, dated yesterday at 4 P. M., reports that rebel cavalry having yesterday made a dash into Wilson's lines, near the Lenny House, Wilson this morning sent out a part of McIntosh's brigade to see where the enemy was. Their pickets were driven back and their outer line forced, the cavalry passing over the entrenchments about a mile west of Bethesda church. McIntosh came upon Field's division of infantry, and having accomplished the purpose of his reconnaissance, retired. He killed and wounded a number of rebels in his progress, and brought away four or five prisoners. He had sixteen men killed and wounded. Dispatches from Gen. Sherman, dated at his headquarters, Big Shanty, Georgia, this morning, have been received. They state that our lines were within four or five hundred yards of the enemy; but no fighting yet. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
