The Fight Is on. . * ' Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va.?The net result of the day is that Gen Grant, who is, charged with forcing back Gen. . Bell's Brown army through Thoroughfare Gap, has not been able to break the lines of defense established by Gen. Bell during the early hours of the morning. This line extends north and south, bisecting the manoeuvre zone and is composed of infantry and artillery. Gen. Grant opposed this force in the extreme north early* in the day but with no success. After five companies of the Blue army had been ruled off the field J for attacking in the open a strong concealed defense, hostilities ceased for three hours. During hhis timp Hpp flrnnf cuninrr fV\? bulk of his infantry and artillery to the south in an effort to flank Gen. Bell's line of infantry on the right. Gen. Bell, however, learned of the movement of his adversary and rushed up his reserves to the threatened point. The two forces came to combat shortly after 2 o'clock, artillery was brought into play by the Brown army and the rapid fire of guns spoke on both sides, while volley after volley of musket fire added to the sound of the battle which could be heard through the Virginian hills for miles. The battle had proceeded but a short time when an order from the umpires was given to cease firing. At this time the forces were practically equal and the situation was such that a decision from the umpires seemed to be demanded. Instead 15 minutes was granted each side to rectify its lines. ACTION RESUMED. Then at signals from the chief umpire the action was resumed. The First Vermont, a portion of the Twenty-first New York, the Eigth Massachusetts and the Second Maine made a charge on the blue position moving over open ground and under a very heavy fire from the Seventeenth Virginia, the First Maine and the First Texas. The Brown charging force was ordered back after , sustaining heavy loss. The success of the blue army at this time was but temporary as an enfilading fire of infantry and artillery from theBrown troops on the right and left made it impossible for the Blue to hold its position and an order to fall back was given. Gen. Bell had ordered reinforcements consisting of the greater part of Barry's brigade, which had been holding the line still farther to the south. The immediate line of the Brown's defense then consisted of the Second Maine, First Vermont, Eighth 1 XX- T71 H IT lviassaciiusetus, r ourun i\ew jersey, Ninth Massachusetts, Twelfth New York, Ninth regulars, Third North Carolina, and Second Georgia, amounting in all to 60 companies of infantry besides a battery of artillery. Opposed to this force was the Seventieth Virginia, First Maine and First Alabama. The situation was critical for either side. The fighting forces were approaching closer and closer and the firing was brewing hotter. A decision from the umpire would have been imperative had a halt not been called. THE RECORD OF THE BLUE. The record of the Blue army for the day is summed up by Col. Wagner, chief umpire, as follows: Gen. Wint's brigade, which took up a position early in the day on the extreme right of the attackline, has not been heavily engaged and his troops are in bivouac tonight. Price brigade has been seriously engaged and has suffered great loss. Frost, on the left, has not been heavily engaged, while the brigade of Bliss still further on the left has not been in action. The fighting for the Blue army was done almost exclusively by Price's brigade and by the advance guard or Wint. On the part of the Brown army the brigades of Smith, Lee, Regan ana Barry have all been in the fighting. Four troops of the Seventh , cavalry, a part of the Brown, made trouble for the Blue ad- s vance before daylight this morn- r ing. This force reached Sud- a ley road before daylight. It e fired on* Wint at daylight and T there were rumors that he had c been put out of action, but these were nftt confirmed by the official 1 rfcporte of the umpires. A colo- I neTorthe Blue was captured as r were the colors of the Fifth Mas- a sachusets regiment. These col- e ors were returned to corps headI quarters tonight Ity Gen.
