The great effort of the Federal commander, during the last four weeks, has been to so extend his main lines as to cornpel an evacuation of the position here, without a battle, to capture the defences.
In his movements thus far, tending to this end, he has been thrice defeated--first on his left, on the 22d ultimo; and on his right on the 28th ultimo and 6th instant, respectively.
