On the very first day of his creasing, lie

Klys Fur J, and driven out of them with
the loss of 1,500 men taken prisoners, and

a severe combat wear Parker's Store, and
lost 3,000 prisoners.?On the 6th"nnother
engagement took plaee near tha Wilderueee,
in which he was driven back, with
enormous loss, to Chanceltorsvitle, eight
utiles from the scene of conflict. On tha
Tib he was driven trom tha Germania road,
and moved sM his pontoons to hiy!? Ford,
it was now that he attempted his so calked
thinking operations for the first lime,
aud he did it aolely because he ooold make
no progress by moving strait forward. It
was uecvuity, nut strategy, that dietated
hia movements. On the 8tb, he swdbg
hia right around his left, and advanced to
bpousyivauia Court llouse by a side movement,
heptVig to get there belore J?ee; but
he had.been anticipated, for he badsearee
