With but little intermis- sion, the fight continued until mear night. For once the day’ssanguinary conflict terminated before night drew ber sable mant'e over the scene. The fight, if anything, was more terrible than that of the forenoon, OUR LIME CHANGED. ‘The night found us still victorious, although baving materially changed the position of our line. The change ‘was made to counteract the effort of the enemy to mass forces on our left, and to compel them to abandon the strong position they had been occupy ing. ‘MORE PRIGONERG. Aside from the decisive v'ctory over the enemy and ad- ‘vantageous change of position, we have added this after- moon largely to our number of prisoners, and, although taking no «dditional guos, bave punished the enemy—1s all the prisoners taken in the latter part of the day concsde—more se- verely than in any single day’s battle fought herete- fore. Our prisoners sum up now about eight thousand, while we have lost but little over balf this number and only three guns, all of which were spiked before they were abandoned, and thereby rendered useless to the enemy, Who will not say that this has been a glorious: day’s work ‘or our army ? The entire campaign bes thus far been crowned with a succession of splendid victories, ‘THE AFTERNOON FiGHr, like that of the morning, has been « genera! engagement of our infantry and artillery. Every battery in the Fitth corps, under Colonel! Wainwright, was engaged, and ‘averaged over five bundred rounds to a battery. Nearly all the batteries in the remaining corps were likewise en- gaged, and exbausted like quantities of ammunition, So many guas engaged simultaneously, and the reverbera- tions of their thundering roar, made the scene almost a second Gettysburg, aad the solid shot, spherical case and sbell thrown among the enemy muet have tok upon them with nearly like destructive effect. ‘THR SCENE. The fight, like that of the morning and every battle we bave hed, bas in its reports the words “ unintermitted roar of artillery and rattle of musketry.” Rising cloués of smoke, and alternate driving of the enemy and being riven, is the sad battic. It is the old battle story epito- mized. As the hours pass on and arrive amid the tama!t and excitement of battie,no one takes note of time. More dead bodies strew the ground, aud more litter Dearers and ambulances are seeu bearing away the wounded, and the air ia filled with shrieks of the dying. ‘TEE BATTLE CRY. At intervals, loud above the battle’s roar, are beard the orders of command, while, drowning everything, is the occasional fierce battle cry of the charging columns. Only in battle ia this cry heard. The hiss of the rattle- svake is sublim:—this ten thousand voiced battie shout is torrid! ppaliing, paralyzing. ‘THE BRAVE AND THE DISTRGUORED. I would like to speak of divisions, of brigades and of regiments, of their charges, their @rmaess and their valor; ‘Dut whore all did their duty, as they bravely did their duty to-day—as they have done all the way through and il continue to do it an lama a0 thane tna baser~ +- © fought aad a man left—it is impossible to make any dis- tinction. All fought magnificently, av they won the day. What can I eay more? What need I say more? THE ARTILLERY. 1 bave spoken of the batteries engaged on eur side. ‘The eoemy bad his batteries also in opposing positions ‘and gave us solid shot for solid shot, shel! for shell. HEADQUARTERS UNDER FIRE—GENERAL WRIGHT BIT, The iron hail storm fell over the heads of our bat. ting legions, killing and maiming many. As the ‘‘rain falls 00 the just end the unjust,” so are these shot aod shell no respecters of persons or places. With a rapidity more exciting than pleasing, they fell about our bead. quarters, as also about the headquarters of Gen. Meade, a hundred rods distant. Having an instinctive abborrence against cultivating close contact with the flying frag- mente of these murderous missiles, I confess to a change of position, after the shells evinced a firm determination to keep coming im that direction. No commanding or staff officers were hit by any of the shells, except General Wright, commanding General Wadaworti's old division, and Captain Pearce and Lieutenant Halstead, signal offi- cers on his staff. They were hit by the pieces of uno shell, but neither receiving wounds compelling them to Jeave the field, A REBEL HORSE BATTERY IN RNGAGEWENT—ITS BRAVERY Speaking of shelling, the manceovres of a rebel horse battery to contribute ia damcg.ug our army and caure, showed a perseverance that under other circumstances would merit highest ewlogiums. Thres times it took Position and commenced firing, when Captain Phillips aod Lieutenant Breots’ batteries would ture their pieces upon {t apd silence it. A final quictus wee put on its hostile efforts by the bursting of two of its cnissons from our shells. Lieutenant Brent bad a varrow escare, A duliet, evidently from asharpsbooter, hit a thick diary be | carried in his pantaloons pocket, passed through it and | lodged harmlessly in bis pocket. But instances of this kind I could give without end, how Knapescks and can teens and breastplates and pocket books and bibles have saved many precious lives; but I will now follow oo with the surging fighting o-lamos in the wilderness til! night ended the battle. NIGH? OF THR BATTLE. It was Inte at night and dark and rainy, and storm blasts wailed mournfally through the pine trees, as if mutually conscious of she myriad mourning hearts the | day bas made, and the pattering rain-drops scom £0 many tears of lamentation over the fallon deid.

One of our ataff ofiicers iaforms me that he conversed to-day with a rebel Heutenant, # prisoner, who gave bim some interesting facts regarding the late General Wads- worth, The General, he says, lived three days after he fell into their hands, and was very kindly treated. He ‘was conscious up to the hour of bi , and bis only egret was, not that he had fallen m\ ly wounded, but that he should die among the enemies of the country for which he bad given his life a cheerful sacrifice. WIS BURIAL PLACE, He was buried three-quarters of a mile this side of Parker's store, in a ravine near the plank rosd; and the place where he was buried was so minutely described to ‘Captai Smith (the staff officer to whom the facts were given) that he would have no difficulty to find the spot, ‘2HE REBELS ON HAL? RATIONS, This same rebel officer said, by tho way, that the ene. my were subsisting on baif rations, but that they would fight as long as there was a fragment of a ration left, Can it be that there are two armies here of like deter- mination and spirit? ‘TUK SURGEONS AND THRIR DUTIES, Jam afraid in my despatches 1am not doing justice to cur hospital surgeons. Since the ccmmencement of the Present series of battles they have labored uoweariedly, day and night, and no care has been wanting that could be given the wounded, The hospital arrangements have been ample and complete in every way, and what is very fortunate, there has been no lack of medical supplies. Dr. Milbau, medical director of this corps, and Dr. Winoe, me- ical inspector, have had the supervising care of the wounded, and it is aduty they have discharged thus far ‘with signal ability and marked succoss. ‘The gentlemen baving charge of the four division hos- Pitais of the corps are respectively Ur.

Careful Investigation fixes the total losses of the Army | of the Potomac in killed, wounded aud missing, including prisoners captured by the rebels and stragglers, up to the commencement of the battle of Thursday, at about twenty thousand, not thirty thousand, as bas beea repre- sented in unonicial despatches. From the fact that no cannoneding was heard yester- @ay from the front, it is believed that Lee, in shi/ting hie position, has taken care to put himself out of imme- diate fighting range, if ho bas not actually moved off rapidly towards Kichmond, ‘The pubiic may expect to hear soon of the occurrence Of the next fight, if Lee has not been #0 weakened as to compel him to seek the cover of the Richmond fortifica tions, or to retreat rapidly ia the direction of Lyuch- burg and Staunton, from which polots his army has rte- ceived its supplies ever since Grant crossed the Rapidan, We may add that we do not sbare the appre- hensions of many around us that Lee can make a more obstinate defence on the North or South Anna river than be has made on the Po, as the lines to be held on both of those rivers are much longer than that on the Po, and therefore much weaker and more easily pierced or turned.
