After proceeding about two miles, the enemy were felt, evidently in some force, and 'Oommenced disputing the lavabo," with Us artillery. By - slicaltiou of the fierieialcommandinga advanced Bitop's }hussy a, suitable point,, opening a slow but et/satire fire; •posted' Lieut. :_Winnegar'a six guns 'suitably, and sent back for "F' 4th artillery, which soon Came up and wu pasted near Snap. - donee -after these disposition., the whole command was recalled to Chaneel lerville. While returning the General earn winding directed me to proceed to ; Choneel l . leonine, and post the corps bottivries in such• positions for defense against the Probable fol lowing enemy as might be deemed Joined:mu. Accordingly I pieced Rnap'saiainplan!cand one section under Lieut. Mecklenburg, of Bel. cry "11," at the loterseeting point (at Chan oellerville) of theroads leading to Fredericks burg, and the, other four please of Battery "F," with ititahugh's and Winnegaes on the rising and opening ground on the Gordana. vine front. Thee we had fourteen pieces on each front, on one or both of which the attack mist cow, and occur on both in; the after noon. - -The enemy wag - effectually °hooked or re pulsed to sash case—litep's Ilatte4 being most engaged, and doing its work as usual--. well. A section of Snap's battery was push ed doWnla luffardous the Plank road, without my - knowledge, by Gen. Geary, among the enemy's skirmishers, but was soon recalled by the General Commanding. Lieut. Atwellwu wounded in this movement. Lieut. Zdahlenbug's light 12-pounders were of great 'orrice on this, front during this and saber quota days, sweeping the woods end roads with a heavy Are—canister'ineinged. , Lieut. Iduhlenberg behaved with great discretion and gallantry during all the engagements, having at the islet nearly an of his command wounded, and horses nearly all killed. I - think he well deserves the favorable consider ation of the Government. The batteries all maintained the positions epeolliod, till Saturday afternoon, when the 11th corps was suddenly routed and cone dying In disordered and bewildered masses toward Chines'tontine. Having no doubt the enemy would follow in force, I gathered all our batteries near Env's . end Lieut. Muiden berg's section,, massing - them rear.of oar - Pit Dlybrioti—posting in poll. tion'atith them some of the 11th corps' bat teries until I bad 3A pieces in what may be called key point of the Bold. The gen eral commanding soon after came up, approv ed the disposition ' and kindly authorised me to open Are when I deemed necessary. The necessity soon orwared. for there was no doubt the enemy waein force in the woods between ' six huedred yards and a mile in our front. I was robliged to Are over the heads of oar in fantry form, ranged in a parallel line, about Ave hundred yards in oar front. It was an operation of great delicacy, this cannonade of thirty-four guns over the heads of our man, 'bet it wee a matter of necessity, and watt promptly and fully executed. Up_to near ten - o'clock at eight, the cannon -n-ding was: errine, Mid in my opinion contrib uted much' in cheating tEti bold and elated en emy. So far as Ivan tarn, and lam happy to record it, not one of our mill was killed by our Are or indeed wounded. That night I in trenched all my:guns, the "digging" subie quently proving of much protection. , Early Sunday morning; the enemy corn 'maned- the attack, evidently determined to carry this point, and tit dry batteries again opened ' upon their math . Sere I beg leave 'to offsenn Opinion. - Onr, position could not lave been forced had the bake of oar line of guns been-strocessfully maintained. An im• portant point, ea open field about a mile to oar left and front, ;carded by a brigade of ear torope—Wee of tholith'oorpe—and a bat- Wm; was seemingly' taken by a 'mall fore* of the enemy: The battery captured was turn ed upon . us with fearful effect, blowing up °ne er our lessons, killing Capt. Wampum and ealiladhsg_Gen. (harp ' s lines. It wee most unfortunate. My line of gnus, however:, kept • to their work manfully till pbentba. m., when finding our Infantry in front withdrawn, our right and left turned, and the enemy's mem ketry, already so far advaseed•aa to pick oil' one men and herses,l_was comp elled to with. draw my gabs to save then. We were also nearly exhausted of athmuniticut. • While retiring I was directed by the Chief Of Artillery of the Armito ;take ttle battilist to pie brick heir - fatal, near the ford,' to i.e. pisnish them, and to remaia,ln person, and take charge of all 1411 oributteetwo our own. and other carp there massedtere I remain ad •so engaged till Tuasday,lit• 6th, When General Hunt directed me to - cress all the batteries, and select positions, to protect the recrossing of the army, which I did with aboat Afty-guas r esighteen of oar awn heist among the number, Ineltolizig Capt.
