in the morning, on the City point ltoad,
and were responded to with spirit. This
'was kept up tor about an hour, neither side
gaming any material uilvantage. lu the
aitcrnoon, a furious aaiault was made upon
(Jen. Mokes front, whoso division occuiii

thrown up during Wednesday night, in a

The .eucuiy came up in three

two or three batteries in that direction,
shelled sur men furiously, but they
gallantly-stood their ground until our b .ttunes

ATTACK ON* FORT CLIFTON.
Monday afternoon, the enemy's gunboats
came up the Appomattox and opened
firtf on Fort Clifton. They atoo I off
uui oi night 'at iun^ ruii?0. and inflicted no
duiua,:t whatever. The fire of the gunboats
was directed by a signal luan, who

T1IK LATE BEILMAKT AC11IKVEMENT OF
Hampton's cavalry.
We havo received a moie detailed account
ol the defeat of Shcri lun's forces by
our oavulrv. under (Jons. Iliirimtuii unit
Kitz Lee, which no* oi?l_y confirms previous
intelligence, but shows that the enemy
were thoroughly beaten and demoralized.
At heretofore statod, 6kirwishm<; common
oed on Hnturday, the 11th itptant, a lew
miles this side ot Trev Milan's Depot, on
the Central Railroad; and while Huinnton
engaged the enemy ?ui the front, in the vicinity
of the railroad, Fits Leo utfueked
theiu in the flank, this aide of Louisa Court
House, This was about 10 o'el.x-k in the
forenoon. At ttoon, the Yankee* succeeded
in capturing our wagon rrai , serial
led horses and a number ol prisoners; but
their triumph was of brief durat on, for
Rower' brigade, which was posted 011 the
Gordonaville Host, being immediately ordered
to the reaeuo, riot only recaptured all
the wagons, horses and prisoners, but captured
220 of the cncuiy also. On the
pun day, G*q. Tim lm look 1M> priaott
- , 1
em a*J three pieces of artillery, and oapturevi
the headquarters of the Yankee Qeo.
Our troops, having thus gained advan-,
rages, rested quietly titrough the night,
tra> the enemy being still in' their front,
.breastworks were thrown up, and other
prepattajoti* made for a renewal of the
struggle on the following day. ' Meanwhile,.
, jjlisDi' Uaotpuio and'fc'its Leu united their
.divisible and calmly awaited an attack.
The flgbting commenced about noon on

by their knn on the previous d*ty, ehurg
4 our breastworks three tiroes, and were
' a* oltco repulsed, with heavy lot*. By
nigh'tall, the Yankees ware driven from
the field, which remained in poesi-uioi^ ot
1 our troops. Being thus utterly discomfit
ted, thav ooncluded not to renew the pon*Wt,
snd about midnight couiuienocd i<-t [
treating-io the dirce ion of the Kapidsn,
which stream, it is said, they succeeded in
cronstug. They left tlnur dead and wounded
in ur hands?among the latter two
lieutenant colonels. In mil, 517 prisoners
ware captured, who were subsequently sent
to Charlottesville j snd the enUre loss of
the enemy is estimated at 1,500. The
Yankees wore much demoralized, and being
without rations or forage, and their
horses broken down, they could not Vc
brought to (see our men the third time.
Many of the horses were rendered useless,
and od the retreat a lcrgs number of-tlte
men were dismounted. Sheridao's force
consisted of WikmnV and Gregg's divisions,
(six brigades.) numbering in all some 10,()()0

design to make u raid <upon Gordunaville

t'orm a junction with Crook and Avetill.
'Thanks to the gallantry of llaiupton and
bis brave command, their netarioUs purposes
have "been signally def eated.

that On their retreat 'through that o?unjty,

engagement took plaoe near the Wildernew,
in which he was driven back, with
enormous loss, to Chanccllorsville, eight

and moved all hie pontoons to Ely'* Ford,

was uccessity, not strategy, that dictated
