[from our own correspondent.]
Battle Field, near Spotsylvania C H,May 14th, 1864.
This has been an eventful week.
May I not say, without fear of successful contradiction, the most eventful in the history of the war and of the Southern Confederacy--certainly no such general engagement as that of Thursday last has ever occurred between the armies of the Potomac and of Northern Virginia.
I propose now to speak briefly in regard to it. During Wednesday skirmishing occurred all along the lines, but no general engagement.
As early on Thursday morning as the first crack of daylight the enemy's artillery opened fire upon us, and very soon thereafter the enemy, having massed in extraordinarily heavy force upon our right centre, which was held by the division of Maj Gen Ed Johnson, advanced upon us. The first point of assault was the Virginia brigade of Brig Gen J M Jones.
The enemy attacked this point of the line most furiously.
The brigade of Jones broke and gave back.
