A reconnaissance on the 9Th from the 9th

A correspondent of the Herald, writing
from Buffers department, gives details of the
recent advance on Petersburg, showing that
Gilmore advanced to within short distance,
but being informed by woman that the rebels
were prepared to receive him, having OBJ
tanned Information of the movement the day
previous, he decided TO return, which he did
safely with only twenty-five wounded. Gen.
kautz, by another road, surprised and entered
the works by brave dash, capturing several
pieces Of artillery and a number of prisoners
but not being co-operated with Gilmore, he
was obliged to fall back to prevent being sur
rounded, bringing his prisoners and captured
guns with him. The gunboats 10 the Apo
