stream known as Mill (..'reek, in a Souih-east'j
crly direction fiom Kaliegii, and, say, twenty-1
two miles from Sniitliiield. The locality is I
similar to that of the renowned Wilderness in j

the loth corps was brought up, but d:d
not make an assault until tin; aftciioon. This
was repulsed witli case. Skirmishing, continued
all day. On Tuesday, the iTtli corps wjis
"brought up, and very heavy skirmishing resulted.
The enemy felt nur line lVmu right to

made ahold push for the town of lleulonsville.
which was reached by two division.. At this
juncture General ilardoe, with (..'cunnings'
Georgia brigade and a brigade of Texas cavalry,
charged and drove them out in a harrisonm
manner, capturing a number of prisoners. That
night our army withon v, same which
time we are not advised of aav lighting except
by our cavalry, which, under J l:ini|it?.ni,attack.-,
the cneniv on every proper occasion.
There appears to be no doubt that Seiiolicld
and Sherinan ltave at last met at or near
Goldsboro. at which place the Federals are
supposed to be entrenching. General Jointson,
however has the inside track, is in a position
which gives him tiio advantage of the first
"^utovc on thcchess board, and from which we
jnav anticipate the happie.-t results.?No//.',7
