M.,says General Humphreys, Hancock sent his leading brigade under Miles to make a reconnoissance down the Catharpin road toward Corbin's Bridge, about two miles distant.

Meantime Meade had ordered all the available troops from Mott's division that were on Warren's right to move down the plank-road to its intersection with the Reams's Station cross-road, four miles back from the station, and report frotle demands, and with nothing in common with their men but panic. The first assault came on Miles, opposite his Fourth Brigade, and at a part of the line held by the consolidation of material of different regiments. For a time the severity of Miles's fire, the slashing and other obstacles on the ground, staggered the assaulting column, and they must have baffled it completely if the fire had continued only a few minutes longer. As it was, the assailants were thrown into considerable confus

At 6:40 the general wrote a telegram with his own hand to Mr. Lincoln, as follows: Both Wright and Parke got through the enemy's line. The battle now rages furiously. Sheridan with his cavalry, the Fifth Corps, and Miles's division of the Second Corps I sent to him since 1 this morning, is sweeping down from the west. All now looks highly favorable. Ord is engaged, but I have not yet heard the result on his part. A cheering dispatch was also sent to Sheridan, winding up with the words: I think nothing is now wanting but the approach of your force from the west to finish up the job on this side. Soon Ord was heard from, having broken through the intrenchments. Humphreys, too, had been doing gallant wor
