At daylight this morning | moved the I'd,

facing about and moving by the left flank,
taking position on the left Of the I'd.
It was understood that the cavalry would
operate on the extreme left. The changes
were promptly made.
The ID army corp soon became engaged
with the enemy near Destonville, drivin, him
by tbs night across Sailors creek to the APP
pomattox.
The army corps made long march, but
its position prevented its striking the snemy's
column before il rad passed.
The 9th army corps came up with the enc
my about p. m, and in connection with the
% on the right and cavalry on the left, at
tackled and routed the enemy, capturing many
prisoners, among them Gen. Ewell and Gen.
Custis Lee. | transmit dispatch from both
Humphreys and Wright, which, in justioe to

lt s impossible at this moment to give auv
estimate Of the casualties on either side, or
the number Of prisoners taken; but it is
evident that to-day's work is going to be one
of the most important of the recent brilliant
operations.
The pursuit will be continued as soon as

GAME.
SADDLE MY NAG.

Two players toss up for choice of
partners; six or eight on each side
isjlhe best number; after choosing,
inc two leaders toss up for innings,
ne who loses then ranges himself
and his associates in the following
manner;-One player places himself
almost upright. with his hands rest
ing against wall or tree, a second
puts his head against the skirts of
the first, the third against the skirts
OF the second, and so on until thew
are all ranged. They must either
hold by the trowsers of the play
who IS before, them, cross their arms
on their breasts. or lean them on
their knees. One of the winning
party now begins by taking a run,
placing his hands upon the back of
the outer player on the other side,
and leaPing as far forward on the
range as he possibly can, in order to
afford room for his partners behind
him. who follow in succession, until
all are on the backs of the other par
ty. If they can all remain on with
out touching the ground with the
hand or any other part, while the
leader counts twenty, or if any of
the other party sink beneath the
weight, or touch the ground with
their hands or knees TO support them
selves. the riders keep their innings.
and so on again. If on the contra
ry, or in case there be not room
enough for them to leap on, or they
cannot keep on the backs of those
who are on before them, they lose,
and ether party become riders, and
they nags.
