The riflemen of the @vemy poured a deadly fire into their ranks, and they barged on the batteries on the high ground a little to the left of the bridge, scoured the open space in every Girection, tearing up the exrthworks with their whizzing missiles. The redoubt was carried at the point of the bayonet, and a coutiderable number of the revels killed €o the intrenchments, and one hundred and ten of them ured. « » ‘This assault, which was made under the immediate direction of General Birney, is considered a very brilliant ‘aifzir, and General Hancock wrote bim «very congratu- fatory letter, cxpreseing his thanks and admiration for ‘the masterly manner in which he handted his command; for, in spite of the terrific fre concentrated against bim, he manowvred his troops with euch consummate skill that his losses are very small.
