Dabney's heavy guns now opened, which, together with Lane's and Brown's batteries, completely silenced the enemy on the north side, and disabled the only field work that remained uncultured; for not less than six had fallen to us without a blow since passing in their rear, and the guns can now be plainly from our position on the south. Lane and Brown, however, are said to have had not less than dozen killed and wounded each; for before they finally retired from the conflict, the duello was rapid and vindictive. The Federals seemed particularly amazed at Dabney's heavy guns — Long Tom" and "Long Charlie"--for we could plainly see shells bursting around them in all direction, but, as far as we could learn, without any being now in readiness, Longstreet's forces the dense timber by t

with the swamp, and towards nightfall Thursday two of his brigades, (Pryor's and Featherstone's,) bivouacked in the woods to the right and left of a very heavy battery that was sweeping the whole horizon at the moment of their advance. At twilight the enemy opened fire upon our troops, and broke their short repose. Almost simultaneous with Gregg's attack on Ellyson's mills, Pryor and Featherstone also commenced. As all approach to this battery was through an open field, some few pieces of Thomas's the Donaldsonville, and Carter's batteries were brought up which vigorously replied to the enemy and drew off their attention from the Mississippians and Louisianians who were endeavoring to flank it. At the foot of the rise was a wide and deep (natural) ditch, unbridged. A temporary one was made by the 19th Mississippi, under fire, while St. Paul's battalion busily occupied the enemy's skirmishers. All being in readiness, our artillery moved up closer, and redoubled their enemy, while P

Mazcy Gregg flanked the battery and took it without much loss, capturing many of the Pennsylvania "Bucktails" who were not suffiheir advance. At twilight the enemy opened fire upon our troops, and broke their short repose. Almost simultaneous with Gregg's attack on Ellyson's mills, Pryor and Featherstone also commenced. As all approach to this battery was through an open n ground, they retired to a long and formidable line of breastworks, and could not be caused therefrom, under any pretext Gregg's brigade advanced to storm them, supported by artillery. The time was now 5 P. M., and our men much exhausted, advancing with shouts to the charge. Gregg's men acted nobly as men ever dare to do, but the amount of artillery and infantry opposed proved too much, and they were compelled to . Yet still to the right and left the fighting was hot and fierce, until about

Longstreet's flank movement would have captured every man; and was one of the most beautiful man œuvres imaginable, for the large column advanced so rapidly and hily in the shade of timber that its head upon the main road just as Wilcox and Pakett did so. Having thoroughly scoured the woods to our front and far in advance, without finding the foe they were at last unearthed, and operations commenced again with much spirit. Hogan's farm, on the north bank, being nearly opposite to Mrs. Prite's farm on the south, rockets were thrown towards Gen. Magruder's position, so that his batteries might participate in the fight and shell the enemy from their position in front of Longstreet. Dabney's heavy guns now opened, which, together with Lane's and Brown's batteries, completely silenced the enemy on the north side, and disabled the only field work that remained uncultured; for not less than six had fallen to us without a blow since passing in their rear, and the guns can now be pla

Yet still to the right and left the fighting was hot and fierce, until about 7 P. M., a part of Jackson's force approached threateningly in the when a second attack on the formidable was ordered, and executed wish great the enemy being routed with slaughter, and driven pell-mell, before us, losing artillery and forces of every kind. The fight and chase was continued with much spirit, but having driven them to Woodstock operation ceased for the day. The results of yesterday may thus be summed up: We have driven the enemy six miles, beaten them twice in fight, captured eight or ten batt

It appears that Gen. A. P. Hill, commanding our extreme left, advanced down the Hanover (Brook) turnpike early in the day. (Thursday.) and soon afternoon crossed Meadow bridge in face of the enemy, driving them before him with much rapidity and success. Moving his column by the right towards Mechanicsville, a series of brilliant encounters ensued in which the enemy were successively driven from entrenchments and rifle-pits, with the loss of many guns. Once in command of the Mechanicsville road, Gen. Longstreet's division immediately crossed formed a junction, and began to co-operate Towards sunset, Gen. Ripley's brigade (Hill's division) moved down a small road almost at right angles with the Mechanicsville road, and proceed towards Ellyson's Mills, where the enemy were in force,
