ton.

army cut offby piercing his line, on Sunday.
TO join him at Amelia O II fearing TO have
them attempt to reach Burkesvlle Junction and
so on TO Dsnville.

dan had encountered the enemy in small force a.
Jertersville. and had driven him aud made i'm
portant captures.

marches. and be therefore ordered the advance
continued.

on being informed OF the stirring news from
Sheridan. clamored to march all night and start
