Great Battle on the Chickahominy Ends with Rebel Repulse
Dispatches describe a desperate Confederate assault along the Chickahominy river. Union forces under Casey, Heintzelman, Kearney, Sedgwick, and Richardson counterattacked, bayonets leading the drive, with heavy losses on both sides but the Union reported to have repulsed the enemy everywhere. Balloon observation and telegraph recon found strong Union coordination, as McClellan’s army prepared for renewed action toward Richmond.
