Tho behavior of this division was se

The battle recommenced at day light
on Saturday, bnt tbe fire was scatter
ine, and no tirce attacks wcte made on
either side—both Generals intent on
strategy and noitber anx ous to bring on
a general ergagement.
LiO seemed intent on cutting our
communication v:a Germania lord.
Grant appeared utterly indiHeretit to this
and seemed rather to court it, by with
drawing Sidgwikk from bis position and
throwing it back by Germania ford,near
bis» own luad qunrteis, at pushing
Uurnside out on the Spottsylvania road.

change in the position of the corp*,

be a preciptilate retreat on the pwt ol
