ic attention was chiefly concerned yesterday about the position of affairs on the Southside, and rumors were plentiful especially the one about the destruction of Chester, which is explained elsewhere. The only movement which took place at all was a feint made by the enemy on the extreme right of our forces defending Drewry's Blufvance in every sense of the word. The feint upon the Bluff was too transparent to deceive any one, and was very feeble in its character. The rumors about Chester.

On Thursday night the enemy began to move slightly around to our right, and early on Friday morning (yesterday) they advanced in heavy force on Ewell's front, with six lines of battle, and fought most obstinately. Ewell's boys, and especially Early's, remembering the advice of the sage of Bunker's Hill, watched until they saw the whites of the enemy's eyes, and then poured into them such a volley of leaden missiles as caused them to reel and stagger, and finally to give back, not, however, until the dead on Ewell's front were strewn thick around. One advance upon and reconnaissance of Ewell's position, which was strongly fortified, seemed to satisfy them, and they made no further assault during the day. Gen E simply held his ground, and so there was no further fighting on our left win
