Gen. Sheridan has arrived at the James river
and reported in person to Gen. Grant He
marched overland from the White House, and
after arriving at the James, not far from Will
cox's Landing, on Friday afternoon last,
was suddenly attacked by a superior
force Of rebel Infantry, artillery, and cavalry.
A desperate battle was fought, the prize sought
for by the rebels being Gen. sherldan's wagon
train, but the latter was saved, and we learn
that the rebels suffered terribly: Sheridan had
no infantry, but was soon furnished with a
support. The rebels, being handsomely de-
feated, soon disappeared. Sheridan held his
ground and transported his wagon train across
the James.
The rebel force that made the attack was
evidently not In the vicinity of wilcox's Land
ing for the express purpose of meeting sheri-
dan, but they Unexpectedly encountered more
than their match.
We regret to learn that Gen. Sheridan lost
several valuable officers. -Four colonies are
reported killed.
Important movements are said to have COM
menced last night before Petersburg.

A correspondent writing from Ackworth,
Ca, says;
The village to-day is filled with generals and
their staff officers. Busiest of all, perhaps,
and certainly the most feared by all, the un.
faithful traitors included, may be seen the rest
less Sherman, watching and directing the
whole army, yet not overlooking the minutest
details. In the same order In which he directs
the grand movements Of his great army, he
directs the grazing of horses and mules.
Hard by may be seen the youthful McPher-
son, beau ideal officer, graceful In form. a
"rare gallant" whose smile and quick word
of recognition are ever ready for the humblest
soldier who addresses him. And there, too,
is the staunch patriot whose party ties snapped
as If they were nothing when his flag was dis
honored-Logan-the chiefof generals. Look
ing into his piercing black eyes, and at his
swarthy face and long, straight black hair, one
can almost Imagine an old warrior of the
forest had donned the blue of our army and
was doing battle for us, A few days ago, as
he rode along, rent in the sleeve of his coat
showed where shell or some sharpshooter's
ball had nearly taken his arm.
Across the way Is small, slightly built man,
whose eyes see everything, and who seems to
have the quality of omnipresence in his COM
mand. This is Gen. G. NJ. Dodge. He is only
a brigadier, yet he is, in effect, entrusted with
the command OF corps; a position which
Sherman, months ago, desired him to hold.
They say that new stars are coming To him
soon: His soldiers will be proud to see them
on his shoulders.
Clustering about the village, in tents and
houses, may be found the headquarters of va.
rious lesser lights. Among them, Veatch,
Smith, Sweeney, Osterhaus, Fuller, and Har-
row.

On the 23d instant, Col. VIM. Blaisdell, of the
llth Mass, was killed in front of Petersburg
by rebel sharpshooter, while visiting the
skirmish lines. He was brave officer; and,
in some respects, one of the most skillful COL
onels in the army. In the handling of a regi-
ment in battle, and especially In the ma mage.
mcnt OF sklrmishers, he had hardly any supe-
riors. He obtained the rudlments of fighting
in tho regular army as private and ser
goant, and was a favorlte with Gen. Scott in
the Mexican war.
He had led the 1lth Massachusetts, which
composed part of Hooker's old brigade, in
nearly all its important battles, and no regl-
ment was more efficient than his. He took
good care of his men; was rigid In his exac-
tions upon the commissary and quartermas-
ter's departments for all supplies allowed by
law and the regulations; was exactlng in his
discipline Of his men, and was terror to any
who showed the white feather. He had re-
mained in the field after the term of his regi-
ment had expired to command regiment to
be made up of recruits and volunteers whose
service was not out. When he was killed he
was In temporary command of the Corcoran
Legion,
