NEAR CITY POINT. Va, Saturday. May ., 1864. }
NY letter of yesterday morning left the
troops Of this expedition OF their place Of landing which
was the south bank Of tho James, abou, two miles
above the Appomattox. The record Of yesterdays
dongs Is very brief
The landing was effected and the night was passed
on shore without any sign of hostility; but though
Rebels were there they had been there the day before
and everything now depended upon celerity At on
Friday morning the columns formed and put into
motion westward, on line toward the Richmond and
Petersburg Railroad the 10th Corps dvergng TO
the right The day was without cloud or breeze, and
was like July in New England. For mile or two the
sandy road winding through the lonely country. was
marked with blankets and coats which the men threw
away Rebel signal-station was presently taken on
the road then Marstons brigade diyerged to the right
and struck half mile through tue woods 1t was about
noon Rife.pits dug. pickets thrown out and in
that position. spot admirably adapted for defense
the afternoon and night were passed.
This poiuus about miles from the place Of land
ing on the James, about the same from Petersburg ant
Is from Richmond. The line extends northerly from
Point Of Rocks the Appomattox to the south benA
of the James distance of between four and five miles
The two rivers are generally parallel from the point t.
their junction forming thus irregular peninsula, on
which cur forces defended both TANKS and their real
BY the rivers which are guarded by the gunboats.
Contrary TO the usual custom. the march was left In
front Shortly after noon Heckmans brigade pushed for
ward the left toward the railroad bridge over
small creek. which empties near Port Watha, and had
reached an old branch road leading from Port Waltha
directly west TO the main road when they came upon
considerable body OF Rebels the right flank lying In
rifle pits sharp action ensued lasting from five till
six But two guns were with Hickman, but these were
effectualy served The brigade on IN open field.
and after CALAMITY sustaining their ground charge
by the 9Th NewJersey Icing made without effect, the
troops were withdrawn to their former place In line
wisars brigade had started TO their support but find
ing their presence no longer needed, withdrew The
action was simply a Reconnaissance About Is are eur
reniy reported dead on the field, and small loss In
prisoners occurred during the charge Of the 9Th New
jersey. The brigade which is first in the 2d CWezes
division consists OF the 9th Newersey 23d 25th and
9th Massachusetts.
To-day Saturday. ground is cleared and marked fol
earthworks on the pon. overlooking the river to
mand the bluff opposite. The troops are coming up
and at the moment Of writing the sound of artillery
the left tells that Heckmans brigade is again Smelling

o'clock a m. )
Mai. Gen. DIX: A dispatch from Gen. Sher.
man received at midnight, states that we ere fighting
for the possession Of Rocky Face Ridge, and have
knowledge that Mcpherson took the Snake Greek Gap
and was within seven miles OF Resacs this morning.
You will remember that on Saturday the Rebels were
forced from Tunnel Hill by Gen. Thomas, and took
position at Bunard's Roost in bend Of Mil Greek,
just north Of Dalton.
This is represented to be very strong position,
which Gen. Thomas was unable to drive the enemy from
on former OCCASION when he advanced Dalton; but
Resaca Is position on the railroad about fifteen miles
south Of Dalton and this viii place Mcpherson with
strong corps Of veteran troops in the rear Of the enemy
while Thomas advances upon the front and scho6eId
closes In on the tank from Cleveland
1t is probable that great battle was fought On that
line yesterday and may he now in progress.
Gen. Joe Johnston commands the Rebel forces.
Nothing since my last dispatch has been heard rom
