The fight of that day was hoi and . heavy; our triumphs were brilliant, and promised to r?mairr unbroken, but by some ooe or . more of tho accidents of war, tho work we had accomplished "was in part un - done. We lost heavily, probably a thousand mea in the day's operations ; no estimate exceed J that" number. And the enemy re covered . ??osr.essiou of the Weldon* railroad. They are strongly reinforced, and will not ... ' abandon thejr ppsUion. until that road, is torn up for many miles, if oin* cawUy should ?Qt prevent,them, and our infantry and ar tillery drive them off, which we have every reasonlo believe will be the case. Tho fol lowing.acwmnt fe taken-from the Exp?as of yesterday i-Richmond. Enquirer, 23d. FRIDAY'S ENGA~CEMENT.}. The pfigagement of Triday afternoon on the dine of -tho Weldon Raihoad- was ase ' . ure one, but resulted in no material advao ' lag? to-USr&s tu" as position was concorced. The enemy.:havtrig advanced hw lines, some three "quarters.of a mile from the position ot* . riupied by tbem on Thursday, were attacked and driven back.% On F/fday t ight, there fore, the position of the'Yankee army was. unchanged on the immediate line cf thc rail? rodd. i T.?a the engagement, however, the enemy .was severely chastised, los]ng two thot?aua . two hundred prisoners, and a large number ' of killed and wounded. Their loss in killed and wounded is represented ..to .have been very heavy, and to have thickly-, covered, the j y. ground over which our t troops charged and \ . fought. Vast quantities, of knapsacks, oil cloths, small arms and plunder ot all kinds ' were thrown away by the Yaknees, much of vrktcU fell- into the hqnds of our men. Our own loss was not inconsiderable. ...We lost some prisoners and a number of wo'urid ed^bnta'small proportion killed. We are gratified, to state that the larjre majority ol the wounded aro only slightly injured, and will be able to return to*' their commands in a few days. We noticed many who had-re*, ceived only slight flesh wounds. On Friday nlglitour forets again fell back on the line of Railroad, and' the enemy as soon as they discovered our withdrawl threw forward their liueh of skirmishers, end-again occupied the fields bey on.1, D?T?3 - her?iS0, "?ast jt 8nd wesi or the road.1'' Tn'ey?tVdce threw bp breastworks, aad'atthe same time continued tb strengthen their mic line rf works on the hills beyond .Davis farm.

Early in the" forenoon-yesterday, bur ?Le" of battre wes formed east, and vMBt;tti the rail road, and an ad vauce ordered. The troop* os Confederate?troops always do when going into bat?o; moved ibrward in beautiful or-: . der, and the finest of epirits, td the work be fore them. Over ground on- which they had * \* '. twice fought before, they fought again, aUd with like success driving the enemy out of Uieir front Hues of breastworks, baxk npon their maia "fine, and capturing three hun dred.prisoners. The enemy did not. retire without gjving battle, "and the groupd waa hotly contested for.tbe. space of an houri pr ^wq, before they were forced back. In the meantime, the* enem v's artillery "was throwing 8&a?('am? canister' at- our rinks, and our bat teries in the rear -were replying. We re gret to IjeariTflfat' a 'number of our troops were tilled, fad''^dftnd?? by onr own batte ^ka, P.'a a portion of the line. The enemy's main wo; 'ja on tho railroad were .adjudged too strong to attack,' and*bur troops, there . fore, held their second line of entrenchments. In the meantime, a inore, important move .. ~ ment was started towards the enemy's ex treme left-about one mije treat pf the rail road.- A body bf our troops, acting in cpn juction with others, was sent down on the Vaughan road, some three or four milos from the city, to reconnoitre the enemy's position ju that direction, and ascertain their strength there, with a view to furthep movements."" .t^The expedition was entrusted to a most skillfui and gallant officer, with men upon ?? whom' he could depend. It was discovered that the Yankees had extended their,, linea . . . west to the Vaughan road; in the direction ^ of Popes Springs church, and were rapidly fortifying. _ A,a. effort, we learn, was made tb t?rn^heir dank and dislodge them, which did not prove successful. The outer works were carried, but the inner- were found to be of ?*uch great strcrfgthj and so heavily armed with artillery as-to- render their, cjipture a' matter of doubt, without great? Iocs of life. Some advantage.* were gained, we learn, at a ?onsiderable cost ia killed, wounded and missing, which were subsequently jieldod. The loss at this point will probably reach several hundred. The brave General John CC. Saunders, pf Alabania, was killed here while leading his men in a charge. Ile' was one of the most promising officers of the army, and has been conspicuous rJor.>h's gallantry on many fields.- . . "* * " Thc position of thc enemy, as near as we I are abie to jutfee, is about ibis : Their cen tre rests opo? the Weldon Itailrpad, about ". three miles from the city, th?i?right extejid ing^tcross the wooded country to the J?ru salem Plank road on thc ea-t. and their left ^pihe Yiioglian rood on. the west. Along this whole line they hare strongly fortified thtmselvji*, nnd works ofgreaf strength have sprung unlike magic-. In their rear, on the .- railroad, and OD both sides, they have thrown up heavy tsorka tc pr?vido against flank mov?roerts. At the Yellow Tavern and . Gurley lonse,-heavy batteries of paD8 are plattted. At'tyery point open to attack they are strongly fortified. ' s . Warren's corps,"which first occupied tho t/, * railroad, nave been heavily reinforced with"1 " inthela8t two nights. Hancock's 2d and": Burns'de's 9th corps have reached tho road . and now co/iircnt our troop?, numbering tn LI the aegregate fully thirty thousand men.? . The yhuke.es have been busy in destroyV' J iog thc railroad, and reports say that the i track is torn up to'and beyond lleamY sta- i tion-a di.tsnce of ten miles from the city, j Parties from tic rear, -who arrived in -towri yesterday, stajte that the Yankee cavalry tiri-' der the notorias Spear were enjregcd.in de- . stroying the track one mile" beyond Reams' yvstrrday morning. / LATEK. We le-.rn that in, addition to-the strong character of the'fortifications ou the enemy's left, which were assaulted by our flunking column, ono of the maincauies of tbe-repalse waa the giving away at. a very critical, mo ment of a brigade, which caused considerable confusion, and gave the enemy a great advan tage. Our$roops were compelled to retire, "after capturing ?line-of the enemy's skir-; mishers and reaching their strongest works. .Col. Lamar, of Florida, waa mortally wounded. DE???KStRATION ?.V THE LEFT. About ll o'clock yesterday mbrnin.s, the enetny^made a strong demonstration en our. left, on-ihc Ci^ Point -road, with.a view to ascertain the strength*of our forces at that point.
