WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.
Passengers from City tolnt report that
early on Wednesday night, the 10Th corps,
under Gen. Birney, began to move from their
old position to Jones' Neck, on the James
river where a pontoon bridge had been thrown
across, and Immediately began to cross. By
IL O'Clock the advance guard had succeeded
III effecting the crossing in safety, and by
daylight the whole corps got over. An ad
vance was Immediately ordered and the en-
frenchments ON Chapn's farm were carried
with but little resistance on the part of the
rebels. There appeared to be but few rebel
roops in the entertainments, and it is thought
that they had previously been withdrawn to
he sent up the Valley, to check Sheridan, or
to the Weldon railroad, fearing a blow from
'irant in that direction. We however, cap
,"ed 300 or 400 prisoners and Is pieces of ar
tillery.
| rno 18th corps, under General Birney, ad.
vanced from Deep Bottom, about the same
lime Gen. Ord moved up the New Market
road and carried the entertainments will
ease, the rebels showing but little disposition
to contest the ground. They appeared TO bt
"omnletely surprised by our troops in that di
rection.
| VI the subsequent movements of our force:
nothing was known at City Point when the
express lett there, and there was nothing tc
indicate that the advance of Ord and Birney
had been checked.
1t is confidently believed at City Point that
the rebels have withdrawn large numbers OIL
their troops from the defences of Richmond
and sent them up the Valley to aid Early
This being the case, Ord and Birney can make
considerable progress before the rebels car
concentrate their forces.
On Wednesday night the rebels made q
furious attack on our advance earthworks il
front of Fort Sedgwick. but were repulsec
handsomely with considerable loss. These
are the works which were captured from the
rebels several weeks ago, and this is the
second attempt to take them. The troops at
tackled were the 2Sth colored regiment.
