moal reasonable one, and one mule hy a^geutle-man
who was over the field, thinks that it could
not huve been leas than six thousand in killed and
wounded.
Our loss was comparatively slight, most of the
lighting baviug been done by us behind breast-works.
It is thought that it will not exceed
soiiefive hundred in killed and wounded. A
great portion of our wounded were but slightly
injured.
From the Examiner, Gib.
Accounts that have come in from the army
since our last paper was put to press are even
Generals Breckinridge and Finnegan were attack-ed
by the enemy as they were preparing to re-es-tablish
their skirmish line. The enemy was soon
repulsed. Immediately afterwards an attack
unarmed parties should be permitted to bury
the dead and care for the wounded. This Gen.
Lee is understood to have declined, but intima-ted
a willingness to entercain a regular flag of
was made upon General Hoke's frout, with a like j trnce for these purposes.
This morning Grant sent in another flag say-ing

up lo Friday at four ..clock, when he left the

Thursday evening, almut live o'clock. Wilcox and
Breckinridge were ordered to alvance and take
,hec.es. to the right of Hoke. This was done
without much resistance orgreatcasualt.es. The
occupancy of this crest gave a commanding po-sition
for the right of the line of battle, now held
by Wilcox. .lust after day, Friday morning, ev-ident
iy supposing from the vigorous assault by
r with Swears corps and Hcth's division ol
Hill's OOrpS, on the extreme left, on Thursday ai-
,.,ii..on, that our centre and right centre was
b. a.en, the enemy mad? a most desperate assault
upon Hoke and Breckinridge. The attack upon
Hoke was repulsed with terrible loss to the ene-my,
but on Breckinridge s front they succeeded
in breaking through Echols' biigade ; but Fiune-gan,
with his heroes of Olustee, came rapidly and
successfully to the rescue, driving them out at the
point of the bayonet. Also in front of Anderson's
command, (Longatreet's corps,) the enemy for a
short time heid a portion of the works, including
several guna of Haskell's battalioj of aiiiilery,
but ihe guns, as were the works, were soon recap-tured.
Other as-aults were made against the line,
ially in Barly's front, but were successfully
repulssd.
This is the history, in brief, of the fight of
Thursday evening and Friday. The whole affair
- to be about thus : The enemy, in great
force, assaulted our lines in front of Cold Har-bour
and Gaines'MiU; fought with great des-peration
; made a violent effort to turn and break
our right: hurled forward their men in charge
after charge, but they were successfully repulsed
at every point with immense slaughter : forced
to relinquish the straggle, and failed to gain a
single advantage—our works remaining intact
at the close of the tight, and our men holding ev-ery
foot of the ground gained by them !
Thus closed the fight of Friday, and our suc-cess

OPERATIONS 01 THK ARMIES DUBIKC SATCRDAY.
As seen from Gen. Lee's despatch above, the
enemy did not renew his assault on Saturday,
and the operations of the two armies during that
day were ceutined to skirmishing along the
lines. Occasio'nal cannonading was hoard in
the city, but persons coming in from the front
assured the public no fighting of consequence
was goin5 on, and that the two armies were
resting, as if were, from the labors of the strug.
gle of the day preceding. The city was kept
therefore comparatively quiet, and the imprest
sion seemed to be that Grant was too severely
punished, and too busy in caring for his dead
and wounded, to ronewTTie fight. We had whip-ped
thetn at every point, and so passed Satur.
day, giving as little anxiety of the succss of our
army as it did news. It was a quiet day in the
city, and a quiet day in the army.
SATCEDAV SIGHT—THE IINI BKKEWS HIS AS-SAULT.
On Saturday night, about eight o'clock, the
enemy, though repulsed in all tho previous as.
saults, attempted another attack on Hrecken-ridge's
lines. The occasion of their repeated
efforts to carry his position is understood to be
owing to the tact that Bscckenridge's line ex-tend"
across a road between them and the
James river, which the enemy wish to get pos-session
of. This last assault is said to have
been feeble. It was on the same salient which
has been previously contested, but was feeble
and abortive. The line came within thirty
yards, and were then broken by our fire.
So beaten, the enemy did not renew their as-sault,
but remained quiet during the rest of the
night, with some occasional firing along the
lines.
In this charge the Yankees are said to have
been very drunk. Some of the men got into
onr breastworks without their muskets, and so
drunk were some of them that they came up
actually reeling.
[In the foregoing paragraph we have given
what wo have received from sources deemed
trust-worthy, bui inquiry at the War Depart.
ment last night failedlo verify them. The of-ficial
version is that although there was very
heavy firing, there was no assanlt made on
Brec'keuridge—that both armies were misled,
and each supposed that an assault was being
made OB their lines, and that a rapid but ran-dom
fire ensued.]
Nothing occurred on Sunday between the
two armies, except occasional skirmishing along
the Hues. A gentleman who left the front yes-terday
at one o'clock, reports that some skir-mishing
was going on, but our army were en
gaged in burying the enemy's dead, and attend-ing
to tho Yankee wounded.
It was reported in our army that Butler had
effected a junction with Grant. Another rumor
brought In last night was that Grant was fall-ing
back in the direction of the Pamunkey, but
we failed to get any confirmation of this report.
IBBJVAL Of YANKKE lTilSONEKS.
Prisoners continue to pour in from Gran t»
army in squads of thirties an.i fifties. During
Saturday the number that so arrived and tool;
up lodgings at the Libby amounted to about
three hundred. They were al! the same hun-and
care for the wounded. Gen. Lee promptly
replied, showing that Grant had misunderst6od
I bis letter. Here the matter rests.
The heavy firing last night amounted to noth-ing.
Last night the enemy abandoned our left and
a part of our centre, ipparently in great haste.
Gen. Early has tollowed them ten miles to-day,
capturing sixty prisoners, who say Grant
has gone to the Wbiti llouse because his men
would not fight.
It is the impression here, however, that Grant
is making for the James river to cross to the
southside.
A littlo sharp shooting on our left to-day.
RICHMOND, June 7.
