CHAFFIN'S BLUFF, October 13, 1864.
At 7 this morning enemy endeavored to advance between the Darbytown and Charles City roads, but was repulsed in every attempt.

General Breckinridge reports that a force of the enemy came to Greeneville on the 12th, and was defeated by Brigadier-General Vaughn. Some prisoners, two stand of colors, many horses and arms, were captured. The enemy lost many killed and wounded. Our loss slight.
