It | raged fiercely throughout the entire day, and even after Garknees had ehrouded the field it was kept up with a determination on both sides which scemed as thouzh it was likely to inst until one army or the other had became so ex- hausted as to be unable to maintain the fight any longer. The fighting on our immediate front and right and beyond bu: ‘was carried on by Gen. Sumner’s grand divi- sion, comprising the Second and Ninth army corps. Shorily after nine o’clock the Second e » Gen. Couch, which constituted the right of attacking forors, moved out from the up- per part of the well between the plank road and westerly outskirts, with etrong detach- ments of skirmishers. The enemy yielded gradually, though they contested our progress with great stubboruness, and for some time the rattle of musketry was incessant. At the tame wise that this movement was commenced the batteries of the division sta- tioned on the biffs across the river opened ‘with shell to.aid the exit of the rebels and cover ouradvance. The rebel infantry having fatlen baek to their first line of intrenehments and rifle pits, their batteries gpened witha orous and rapid fire upon our columne, which now had come to a temporary halt, awaiting the re- sult of the artillery fighting. For some time our artillery on the bluffs kept up a heavy fire upon the rebel batteries with such success that the batteries on Tsylor’s Hill, nearly opposite Falmouth. and commanding our right flank, Were finally silenced. During this time the | artillery of the rebele was almost entirely de- yoted to the shelling of our advanced troops. Occasionally they would send a shot towards our batierirs, bat they fell short or in the town beyond. Hancock's division had the advance, suppored by the ether divisions of the corps; while the Ninth corps, Gen. Wilcox, remained under arms in town, in readiness to obt y the siznal to advance te the arsistanceand Support of th: ir comrades wherever they could | eftectually doro. Soon after the whole corps deployed inte line of bartly, with Hancock’s division on the righi, and in this ord+@ moved jorward to attack and storm the rebel right batteries, while from all the enemy’s works a terrible shower of shell, grape and shrapnel tore through their bleeding ranks, notwith. stending which they steadily pushed on to the rifle pitt, within a short distance of the first line of intrenchments. From the fermer they drove the rebels, meking prisoners of some, whiie the remainder took refuge behind the esrthworke. . Tl i» was accomplished after the most heroie and lonz-continaed efforts, under a galling and murderous fire. Human nature was unable to hold out agninst the terrible fire which they DOW encountered, and they fimally retired, but in gcod order, carrying away with them thei: weunded comrades. They fell bick to their original line of pickets, thus holding the ground | which they first occupied, and which they held upiil this morning, when they were relieved by Gew. Storigman’s command. Jast previous | to the advance of Couch’s corps, heavy firing | Rud a dense smoke on the Ieft indicated that | Franklin, with his grand division, was advan- cing upon and had already engaged the enemy's Ti; ht tank. To open communication with him, | therefore, Gen. Wil.ox detached his division uncer Gen. Burns and sent it to the left by the ecge of the riv«r, with instructions to advance | under cover of the river bank until he could } place himselt in close proximity to Gen. Frank. din’s right. — . @+o. Burns accordingly moved his division forwsid, crossed Hazle run and .toek position With his lett resting on Ds ep run, to the oppo- site bank of which Gen. Franklin's Lex tended. From this jocation he was also enabled io eupport, if necessary, any demonstration having tor its fleld of opern! is the epnce of sTound between Deep run and Couch s corps; and though the division did not take part in ihe | dvy’s «nga ment, it rendered valuable assist- ince othe rw ite. 3 About noon Gen. Sturgis was ordered to the supporto! Gen. Couch. So forming his divi- tion, with Gen. Ferrero’s brigade in the ad- vance, he moved obliquely with and on the left flank of Gen. Couca, with the intentioa df attacking the batt ries which had been entilad- ing Ccuch’s frcm the mehtcentre o the rebel position. He opened the attack with Gen. fFerrere’s trigade, which deployed into the line Of tattle parallel to the euemy’s works, with Gen, Nagle’s brigade tormed in the rear: aid within easy supporting distance. Gen. Feriero then advanced, pouring in terrific volleys of muskeiry, and driving the rebels beck. To retard this movement the rebele opened a raking fire upon his ft flank, upon di-covering which en. Sturgis ordered Nagle's brigsde to advance by the left fauk, and forming into line of battle, attack the ene- my’s battery on the left. The ovement was socorainety attempted, but in consequence of rayines which it was injudiciousto leave in their rear, Gen. Nagle was unable to carry ont she order, and then fell back to the direct sup- port of Gen. Ferrero. Couch’s corpe was fall- ing back while this was transpiring, and by the time Gin. Nagle had resumed his original potition, was nearly off the field, leaving Sturgis alone in the advance, and ape bas commaddchoonery WOW oncentrated almost their entire force, and the fightnow became one of the most desperate character. Despite the storm of missiles from the na- meroue rebel works, General Ferrero continued to advance, sapere now also by Dickerson’ Battery, which was disabled in fifteen minutes after coming into action, when its place was relieved by Another battery. At last, by a ener charge, the brigade carried the crest of the hill, and approached within eighty paces of the «nemy’s intrenchments. Their success, however, was not of long continuanee, as the tremendous fire from the rebel batteries soon rend red it nt cessary for them to retire, which they did when the order to do so had been given for the third time. It was now dark, and the division fell back te its original position, after being six hours under fire. Gey. Sturgis’ division may be said to have borue the brunt of the fighting on the part of the Ninth Corps, and behaved most splendidly throughout the whole . aflair, When Sturgis was most en. gaged, the third division, ander General (Getty, advanced to his support, executing a move- ment to his left making in relation to General Couch. After occu ying for some time the position first indi- cated. yy the order from General Wilcox, the Civieion was formed for @n attack en the right rebel batteries, which had been enfila ting the ranks of General Sturgis; id to the aectm- plishment of this particular object Golonel awkins’ brigade, with Edwards’ and the Sth Massachuertts Battery, was particularly as- signed, while the second brigade, under Uolo- nel Harlan, formed in the rear as a reserve support. The « rder having been given to charge those batteries, Col. Hxwkins’ brigade dashed for- ward, and, in ascending the slope, were com- p< led to cross an old canal and a deep slough. Passing this, 0 found themselves on a level piece of ground, on reaching which darkness akenthem. Notwithstanding the ob- | scar tage we night they maintained themselves egeaing * rebel batteries until they were or- dered to fall back. A straggling, scattering fire on both sides was maintained until about eight o'clock, when both parties ceased for the night, On the left, which extended for some three milks below the city, Gen. Franklin’s grand aivision were actively engaged in sustaining the for un¢s of the day. ¢ A portion of tbis division crosesd*on Thurs. Sy, eyening, and the remainder croesed on Friday. About rel rd nine o'clock the or- der was given to advance, and Doubleday. pushed torward cautiously. The skirmishers met in a corn field, and the rebels Immediately opened with artillery in the fleld. The enemy were making an effor: to turn our left flank, when our artillery om the left of Franklin's Forition was speedily wherled inte posi ion and oy: ned upop the enemy. The cannoa- ading was tor a time y ry severe on both sides, while the sharpshooter’ were at work in a very lively manner in front.
