The river was here so narrow as to compel him to come to anchor; whiFort Darling in some of our reports. 200 feet above the surface of the water. The river was here so narrow as to compel him to come to anchor; which he did very near the lower barrier, and within 600 yards of the Rebel guns. Tie at once opened fire on tile battery, and maintainedl a most unequal contest for 3 1/2 hours; when, having exhausted his ammunition, he desisted and fell down the river.

J. C. Lynch. of Barlow's division, capturing 4 guns. The enemy fell back behind Bailey's creek; still holding firmly his strong defensive work at Chapin's bluff, opposite Fort Darling. Sheridan. with his cavalry, attempted to flank this work, and gained some high ground from which he hoped to get into its rear; but night came on before he was ready; and, so imminent seemed the danger on this flank, that Lee drew July 27-29. five of his eight remaining divisions across the James to avert it, affording the opportunity which Grant was awaiting. Burnside's corps held a position directly in front of Petersburg, including a point where our lines, owing to the nature
