2P. M.-More intrenching tools and ra
tions are coming up and it is tile determin
alton to hold the five miles gained on the
left of our old fortified line,at all haz .rds
The GAIN as have said, brings us the Boyd
town plankroad, and within easy artillery
range of the Southside railroad. Thus Lee
has again been outgeneraIed and another
Yankee trick Played upon the inaiu army of
the Confederacy.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, Feb 8.8 ANA
bright sunny morning dawus upon army
operations, cheering the hearts of the brave
soldiers, who have just endured and accom-
plished somuch. The new gain OF five
miles on our left is being strongly fortified
this morning, and will be held at all haz
ards.
This IS magnificent gain for us, and a
corresponding loss to the enemy. The
cavalry are still accommodating to the west
and southwest. tip has b-en developed by
this movement that Lee has sent several di-
visions of his troops against Sherman, thus
materially weakening his line he re. Our
army line railroad is Immediately to be
pushed out to the Boydtown plank road, and
will soon, no doubt, be connected with the
south side railroad e
