A GRIM CAPTURE The Second and Sixtli Corps of the Federal Army repelled a desperate attack of General Magruder at Sav-age Station on June ^29th. The next day they disappeared, plunging into the depths of White Oak Swamp,leaving only the brave medical officers behind, doing what they could to relieve the sufferings of the menthat had to be abandoned.
