have sense and decency enough al
least to refrain from giving 'aid and
comfort to the enemy at this particu

AS Iar as A[r. Wade is concerned
it is not a secret that he has for some
time been one Of the most active enc

Mr. Davis, we happen to know thai
last fall he demanded the right to con
troll all the Federal appointments, ciyi

consequence is that Mr.. Davis is bit

The line of battle was formed with Hinck's
colored division on the left. A charge was
made, and the entire line of works was
taken with sixteen guns. thirty prisoners
and several battle-fags. The position was
one of great strength, and should have re.
sisted an attack from much larger force.
The colored troops are reported as be-
having admirably, taking their part of the
enemy's line at the same time the Others
did. Our loss In the affair was not over

To Major General DIG:
The following dispatch from Gen. Grant.
dated yesterday at IL A. NJ, at CITY Point,
has been received by the department: The
9th corps, this morning, carried two more
redou6ts forming part of the defenses of
petersburg, capturing four hundred and
iifty prisoners and four guns; Our success
es are being followed up. Our forces drew
out from within fifty yards of the enemy's
entertainments at Cold Harbor, made flank
movement OF about fifty-five miles march,
crossing the Chickahominy and James
river, the latter two thousand feet wide and
eighty-four feet deep at the point of cross
ing, and surprised the enemy's rear at
Petersburg. This, without the loss of a
wagon or piece of artillery, and only about
one hundred and fifty stragglers were pick
ed up by the enemy. In covering this move.
Warren's corps and Wilson's cavalry had
frequent skirmishing with the enemy, each
losing from fifty to sixty killed and wound-
ed, but intlicting an equal if not a greater
loss upon the enemy.
The 18th corps (Smith's) were transferred
from the White House to Bermuda Hum
dreds by water, and moved out near to Pc
tersburg. The night Of their arrival, they

the night following this capture by the I'd
corps, which, in turn, captured more OF the
encmy's redoubts, further south, and this
corps was followed by the 9th, with the re-
suit above stated. All the troops are now
up, except seven divisions covering the
wagon trains, and they will be up Tonight.
i8Fhe. enemy, in their endeavors to rein
force Petersburg, abandoned their intrench-
ments IN frontof Bermuda Hundreds. They
no doubt expected troops from the north
side of James river to throw into the place
before we discovered it. efz -
Butler took advantage of this, and moved
aiorce at once upon the railroad and plank
road between Petersburg and Richmond,
which we. hope to retain possession of. Too
much praise cannot be given the troops and
their commanders for the energy and for
titude displayed during the last five DAYS.
Day and night has been all the same, no de-
lays being allowed on any account. lsig 4
