BERMUDA HUNDRED, where Butler is entrench-
ed, is peninsula, formed by the junction of the
Appomatox with the James river, the south
side of it, and through the tortuous winding of
the James, is bounded by that river on the north
side At the point fortified by our troops the
peninsula is not more than three miles across
From the left of our position, which rests on the
Appomatox river to within mile of tie James
river, runs ravine, which, by reason of its
great depth and abruptness of declivity is ut
terly impossible. From the point of it's term-
nation to the James river the country is quite
level. Over this section the main part of the
fighting has been done. Rutlers position is SO
strong that he is in danger of being disturb
ed and he has not only position to aid him but
gunboats which have many times proved ter
ror to the enemy.
