The rebels appeared about noon on the right of the road, tm front of the Third Div- ' tsioa of the Fitth Corps; but this was evidently a ‘yer fein, or tor the purpose of feeling our lines, About @ three o'clock fn the afternoon they charged in 7 heavy force between the Fifth and Sixth Corp “ and succeeded in turutng the flank of the former, espiuring a! > number of prisoners, This part of our line was forced back some distance, when the Nintl Corps, which had been relieved the night Provious rps came on to the yponed @ tire, checking the ad- vance of the rebels and taking a few prisoners, A beavy column of tho charzed on the of our] held by the Second Divis they broke, and here they a oners of the R Brigade. This Br commanded by nel or General Hays, who is believed to be a prisoner, as he cannot be found, Our whole line was thus forced back with heavy floss in killed and wounded, The enemy, howe ver, suffered worse than we did in this particular, bis men lyiug thick al! over th id.
