The Herald's correspondent recounts
the pursui, Of Lees army:
The 9Th corps reached near Black
aud White station, on the South Side
railroad, on the morning of the 5h, with
Generals Grant and Ord. The 9th corps
and cavalry pushed on to Jettersille, on
the Danville railroad, and arrived with
out any fighting sntil the night Of the
18th. The %, 9Th and 9lh were followed
closely in their rear, and BY the oight Of

iion of his army cut eff by our pressing

la Court House, Clearing to have them
attempt to reach Burkesille junction, }
and so on to Danville. When Gen. Grant
reached Not.away Court House . staff
officer arrived, stating that Sheridan had
encountered the enemy in small force at
Jettersville, had driven him and made
important captures. Our colnmn had in
tended to go into camp, but Grant
thought that Lees ouly hope was in
forced marches, and he therefore ordered
the advadce continued. The men, who
had already tramped twenty miles, on be
ing informed Of the stirring news from
Sheridan, clamored to march all night
aud started of with cheers. Whenever
Grant was recognized, as he rode along
the line. the delight of the soldiers was
expressed in the most enthusiastic man
ner. As one division exhausted itself in
cheering, another would take it up, and
so it went along the whole column.
Soon another dispatch was received
from Shelldan, and its contents were suck
