guarding Lees army in the vicinity OF
1Deatonyillc, stampeding portion OF it
Band making many captures of men and
material. Gordon took up one position
safter another on the hill tops, and sue
Sceeded in retarding our pursuit to a linn
sited extent. Refugees and deserters sta
sted that the rebel army was falling to
Epieces. A refugee also said trains were
drumming from Richmond to Danviile all
sday, and that JEFF. Davis and Cabinet
Preached there in the afternoon, and we're
taken to the residence of Mr.. Sutherland.
This refugee also says Beauregard tele-
agraphed that Sherman was on the Dan
willie and Goldsboro railroad, tearing it up
gbetween these two places.
The Herald's correspondent from the
acavalry recounts the movements of this
arm of the service in pursuit of Lee
Their rear guard was overtaken and driv-
en- across Lamoo Creek. On advancing
the enemy opened fire, which was return
fed with vigor. They were finally she'll
fed from their position. A number Of
men were at once dismounted, the obstruc-
Rtions were removed, and the command
scrossed Evident determinations on the
i part of the enemy were at once met with.
sThe road was strewn with all sorts Of
smunitions and debris, Cannon and am
zmunition were discovered secreted in the
woods.
Pushing on, Earrings brigade of fcav-
fairy was soon encountered by our second
I brigade. Col. Wells cavalry. The rebels
scattered like flock of sheep on being

each side of the road. Our men went in
under the widest excitement. General
3Custor seeing that unless we covered more
ground with our cavalry many more rebels
would escape, sent back and hurried up
the 1st brigade. Several miles were thus
passed over and many rebels and munI-
stions gathered up.
Finally the rebels rallied to make a
stand. Our cavalry formed for charge,

Interesting Account of tht
Pursuit of Lees Army.

New York, April 10. The Herald s.
correspondent thus RENTS the pursuit of
Lees army: The Oath corps reached
near Blacks and Whites Station, on the
South Side railroad. On the morning of
: the 9Th, with Generals Grant and Ord,
the 5th corps and cavalry pushed on to
;Jetterville. on the Danville railroad, and
1arrived there without any fighting until
i the night of. the 4th. The I'd, 9th and
4 9th were following closely in their rear,
and by the night of the 9th they were all
3up on the Danville road, and the 24th up
Ito Burkssvllle junction. It appears that
Lee ordered that portion of his army cut
joff by our piercing his line on Sunday to
join him at Amelia G. II. fearing to have
athem attempt to reach Burkesville Junet-
lion, and so on to Danyille. When Cen
9eral Grant reached Nottoway G.. H., q
3staff officer arrived stating that Sheridan
4had encountered the enemy in small force
Nat Jettersville, had driven him and made
captures. .<.-s5 &c.
81 Our column had intended to 60 into
Izcamp, but Grant thought Lees only
Shope was in forced marches, and he there
Hfore ordered the advance continued. The
Hmen, who had already marched twent,
amiles,s on being informed Of the stirring
Hnews from Sheridan, clainored to marcl

Wheneger Grant was recognized as h
