and then Judge the leaders by that standard No one
has questioned whether Gen Butler has succeeded In
fulfilling Lis instructions, but many have found fault
because he has not done what they wish him TO do.
The instructions given to Gen Butler for the guidance
u the movement up the James River. were in sub

march for City Point above, SO as to secure base

do nothing that would endanger his position the river
' Il was understood that, when n landing had been
effected and the force should be ready TO move for
ward rcgnforccments were TO be sent to enable Gen
Butler to push strongly toward Richmond.
Now let us examine into what has been done. Gen.
Butler gathered expedition Of thirty 10000 to forty
10000 thousand men at Yorktown and Gloucester
Point The expedition was admirably fitted ont, and
ready to move promptly at the specified time. The
Rebels through the devices Of Gen. Butler were
pletely blinded as to the destination of the force
This army was moved distance Of 40 miles and
10000 Of the troops landed inside Of twenty four hours
Possession was taken Of Wilson's Wharf on the north
and Fort Powhatan on the south bank Of the james
River; and then Gen. Butler boldly pushed for City
Point and Bermuda Hundred In his transports at each
OF which places be landed without opposition. He had
thus secured new base OF supplies and the work Of
fortifying tho line was at once commenced. Recon.
noanccs were sent out ascertain the force Of the
enemy and for the next twelve days there more
less fighting every day. The occupation Of this
line and tho continued fighting kept force of
10000 men busly employed. The destruction Of
tho railroad was so complete that for (2D
twenty one days trains ran over the road 1t

effected between Grant and Butler, with this place

WHITE HOUSE. May 3l-5AM.
Gen. Sheridan was attacked yesterday after
ternoon In his position Newcastle Bridge, by
brigade Of Rebel cavalry supported by infantry The
intention doubtless TO turn our eit flank, and get
possession in force Of the road TO this place.
The Rebels were driven back. however. with terri
bic slaughter and their right wing driven in three or
four miles. Ewcll's corps was encountered on Gen
Sheridans right Both the LIST and Sd Cavalry Dvis-
ions were in Imotion when left Sheridsns headqnaI
tiers at 9 D. m, taking the "Cold Harbor" road. The
General said he should probably be in force here before
morning but Think has not yet arrived.
Some Of Gen. Buffers troops arrived at White House
on Monday morning at o'clock. They undoubtedly
formed connection with the Army of the Potomac The
river is covered with transports loaded with army
stores, and this place will doubtless omade base OF
supplies for the present. H. L. w.
