last night, and failed. I think we will try it again this afternoon. The attack last night was made by the enemy just as McPherson began to move out. It was on his left, and was repulsed with little loss to us. My skirmish lines held their positions, though sharply attacked several times. My division is much scattered, occupying and picketing the entire from between my right and Hooker's. My casualties yesterday and last night are light. Mitchell's brigade is strongly intrenched about midway between my left and Hooker's right, in rear of the picket-line, and covering the road I had cut from here to Hooker's rear, and upon which it is intended I shall withdraw. McCook's brigade still holds the gap east of me through mountain. Morgan supports McPherson's right. The enemy was busy intrenching and placing batteries on the mountain all day yesterday, and now commands the main road to Marietta with artillery from here to Hooker's right.

I am, very respectfully,

JEF. C. DAVIS,

Brigadier-General, Commanding Division.

HEADQUARTERS THIRD DIVISION, TWENTIETH CORPS, May 30, 1864.

Major-General HOOKER:

GENERAL: I would respectfully report that there is still an interval of over a mile between my right proper and Davis' left, covered only by a thin line of pickets from Davis' division. The enemy have been vigilant and spiteful on my right to-day.

DANL. BUTTERFIELD,
Major-General.
