immediately changed from a northerly to a north-
weanarly direction, sod the directing corps, the
Zed, moving on Destonville, and the sth, hers
Won in the entre, moved on the right of the
Second, and the Sixth, facing about sad moving by the left
flee; taking position on left of the Second. It was under-
stood the cavalry would operate on the extreme left. The
changes were promptly made—the Second Army Carps
goon becomiag garaged with the seamy, near Gainesville,
driving him by right across Sailor Creek to the Appomat-
tox. The Fifth Army Corps made a keg marsh, but its
poeitica prevented its striking the enemy's ',plume before
it bed paned. The Sixth Army Corps sues up with the
moony about 4 p.m., and, in conjunction with the Second
on its right and cavalry as its left, attacked and rented
the enemy, capturing many primmer; among these.
