� 138 May 27. Still encamped in the same place. Have been busily engaged in arranging details of the coming fight which it is expected will come off within a few days.
Heavy firing of both musketry and cavalry has been distinctly heard all day in the direction of the railroads. This evening report comes to us that the enemy have been repulsed with great slaughter by Genl. Porter at both Hanover C. H. and Hanover Junction. He has taken it is said nearly athousand prisoners, and every hour the number is increasing.
This is good news and cheers the hearts of us all.
