He says: After another day of excite
ment and success, we have few more
miles of the enemy's soil. The enemy
were driven from strong Notifications
guarding the approaches to the magnif-
cent bridge crossing the Appomattox. The
enemy had strong forts. We anticipated
determined resistance, but captured them
with tlitttle rouble, together with all that
was in them-securing eighteen pieces OF
artillery. The enemy then fell back and
took position near Farmville. Here
they rested the remainder of the day, not
outstanding strong efforts on the part OF
the Second Corps to dislodge them. The
enemy tried several times to cut their way
through our lines, but always with such
fatal effects to them that they finally aban-
doned the attempt. The Second Division
was sent down the railroad to seize the
village of Farmville, which they did.
Previously they had skirmish, in which
Smythe was, it Is ascertained, MORALLY
wounded. Ewell, after his capture, said
General Lee long since wanted to take all
his troops westward and there dlsband
them, but Davis would not consent.

they held through the night. Next morn

they could not get past Custar, turned
again upon our infantry. They charged
impetuously, and then our troops counter.
