Longstreet and Hill reached the vicinity of New-Bridge about noon. It was ascertained that the enemy had taken a position behind Powhite Creek, prepared to dispute our progress. He occupied a range of hills, with his right resting in the vicinity of McGehee's house, and his left near that of Dr. Gaines, on a wooded bluff, which rose abruptly from a deep ravine.
