hursday, the 9th instant. The fight at Hatcher's run — an unfortunate opening of Grant's campaign — he Tries to intercept Lee in Evacuating Richmond. The secret of Grant's movement on Monday last, which resulted in his disaster at Hatcher's run, is published in the Yankee papers. It appears that he had received intelligence that Lee was going South, and made his movement to intercept him. His losses, as they appear to us from the different news letters, were three brigadier-generals--Gregg, of the cavalry, and Morrow and Davies, of the infantry, wounded, and one thousand killed and wounded. One letter puts down the loss in the Second corps at two hundred and fifty, and five hundred in the Fifth corps; that in the portion of the Third corps is not given. Of the defeat of Monday, the New York Tribune's correspondent says: It seems that, about noon, the Third division of the Fifth corps advanced along the road leading from Duncan road toward the Boydton plankroad, and at 2
raph: The Army of the Potomac still held, on Tuesday evening last, all the ground along and west of Hatcher's run, which it so bravely wrested from the rebels on the two preceding days, and it was believed to be General Grant's design to permanently maintain the new position, which the men had already strongly intrenched. The troops effecting this extension of the left of the army of the Potomac lines were the Fifth corps, two divisions of the Second, one division of the Sixth, and General Gregg's cavalry. The fighting on Monday of the Fifth corps and the cavalry, with the rebels, was of a very severe and stubborn character. The only disturbance of the quiet on Tuesday was caused by an attack of the enemy on a portion of the Fifth corps and the cavalry, which was soon repulsed with trifling loss on the Union side; occasional brisk firing between the pickets and the opening of some of the Second corps artillery on the rebel works occurred, to the last of which no response was r

The will not be a difficult job, for there is plenty of timber in the neighborhood, and the men have got so used to work that the regular carpenters at the North would be astonished to witness the rapidity with which whole rows of houses are run up, some of which are models of architectural beauty. Lieutenant-Colonel Fremaine (wrongly reported as Major Tremaine, of General Gregg's staff), of the Tenth New York cavalry, who was badly wounded in the engagement of Monday, died last evening. Colonel Forbes, Commissary of Subsistence, of the cavalry division, who fell from his horse and was badly injured, a day or two since, died this morning. The accident occurred by his horse's foot getting caught between the logs or corduroy, when he fell and was thrown violently against the logs. His skull was badly fractured, and he remained insensible up to, and at
Inspection of Southern military cemeteries. Harrisburg, Pa., December 18. --Major Gregg, Chief of Transportation, left here at noon to-day on a tour of inspection through the military cemeteries located near Richmond, Danville, Salisbury, and Columbia, South Carolina. Colonel Chamberlain, State Agent at Nashville, has orders to leave that place to-day on a similar tour to Andersonville and other military cemeteries in that district. The object of these movements is to gather information concerning the possibility of friends and relatives procuring the remains of Pennsylvania soldiers buried in those localities.
