town will be patroled by Union troops
The cannonading near Petersburg commenced
about o'clock this morning, and continued
with considerable briskness for some hours.
Petersburg is said to be very weakly fortified
or the south side, and the presumption is. that

over, including wagon trains, &c.
Grants army, on its march to the James
River, met with no opposition, with the ex.
ception OF some desultory firing on the rear.
guard. Fears were entertained that desperate
attacks would be made on the TANKS of the
army, but nothing Of the kind occurred. The
whole movement was perfect success.
Gen. Grant, in company with Gems. Han.
cock and Warren, paid visit to Gen. Buffers
headquarters yesterday morning, and spent
some time in consultation.
The John A. Warner, on nearing Wilson's
Landing, this afternoon, had to wait until the
wagon trains Of the 5th army corps crossed the

sections OF the structure were temporarily re-
moved, and she passed through on her way to
