HEADQUARTERS ARMY Potomac,
March 20.
The route taken by a portion ofthis army
is the same over which it has travelled several
times heretofore, namely: the Vaughan and
Halifax roads, running southwest across
Hatcher's Run. The column started at 8
o'clock this morning.
large cavalry force under Gen. Sheridan,
took the Halifax road toward Dinwiddie
Court House. oHaU08 q a-22a'
The infantry column crossed Hatcher's Run
with no opposition until they reached within
a short distance of Baldytown plank road,
where the enemys pickets were found and
driven back
Grifan's division was sent up the Quaker
Road.
About P. M, division of the enemy
made its appearance, and not knowing the
strength of our force, formed in line and
charged, but they were repulsed with heavy
loss. A number of prisoners were taken and
brought in. They said our movements had
been complete surprise to them as they had
expected an attack in the vicinity of Fort
Steadman, and their troops had been massed
there to meet US. ~ 3- = ~ = ~
1t was believed that the rebels were hurry
ing men towards the South Side Railroad all
the afternoon, in hope OF being able to pre-
vent its destruction, but great confidence was
felt that Sheridan would be little ahead, and
that by the next night we should have news of
its destruction at some point near huntsville.
If this be accomplished, it is claimed that the
evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond must
follow. $500 ~ 4siR

Thomas Smith, sailor boarding house keep
er and substitute broker in Boston, was
brought before the Commissioner yesterday
on complaint charging him with enlisting
one James Sullivan, alias James Lynch, at
Auburn, while the latter was in state of in
toxication, and also that he defrauded said
Sullivan alias Lynch of portion of the
bounty to which he was entitled on being en-
listed into the military service of the United
States,
The evidence in the case proved that Lynch
was brought here by Smith, and purchased by
another substitute broker named Yates for the
sum of $3.50. OF this Lynch was to receive
but $500, and Smith told Yates that it was the
intention of Lynch to be back in Boston in
three days. Yates mentioned this to the mus
tering officer and after Lynch was mustered
in, he was committed to Jail. His examin-
alton had taken place the day before he was
mustered in, and as one of the witnesses
(Yates) testified that at that time he was in a
sober condition, the Commissioner came to
the conclusion that it was after the examina
ton that he had got intoxicated and therefore
discharge of Smith. G. F. Talbot ordered the
for us. J. II. Drummond for respondent.
