wRlGHT's OPERATIONS.
HEADQUARTERS, Second Corps, April g.
Ia pursuance Of the instructions of this
morning from Gen. Meade, | moved from
Jenkinsyille to the left of Deaconyille with
the object of the retaking of the position on
the left of the Second Corps, striking the
road running from DeaconvilIe to Burke's
Station. At point little to the northwest
of the fcrmer, found the Second Corps was
engaged to the front and right, and the cav
airy heavily on my left moving down the
road toward Burke's. | proceeded parallel
to the road which the enemy was moving
along, on which he had thrown up line of
intrenchments. AS soon as the leading divi-
sion, Gen. Seymour, could be formed it
was moved up to- the road held by the enemy
which was carried. Then turning to the
left, it was advanced down the road against
pretty strong resistance. By this time.
Wharton's division was put iu position as
rapidly as possible on Seymour's left. The
lines were again advanced and were swept
down the road for distance of about two
miles,
On arriving at a deep and difficult creek, /
found that the enemy had formed his line on
the opposite side, where we checked and
drove him to point at a distance of half
mile. In the first attack g. portion of the
cavalry opened on the right flank, and in the
subsequent attack the mass of the cavalry
opened on the left of the enemy. The re-
suit has been complete success. The com
bined force captured five General officers and
q large number of prisoners. shall go into
camp about two miles beyond this point, and
await Instructions.
The 1st and Sd divisions of Wharton's
and Seymours army and the artillery were
engaged to-day, and behaved splendidly.-I
The corps has nobly sustained the reputa-
ton gained on the I'd, as well as on previous
hard fought battlefelds.
