Pursuit of Lees ARMY,

| NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Worlds Army
OF the Potomac correspondent details the
| pursuit of Lees army, dating near Rice's
Station, April 9TH. He says:i
After another day of excitement and sue
| cess we have few miles more of the enc
my's soil. The enemy were driven from
strong fortifieations guarding approaches
TO the magnificent bridge crossing the Ap-
pomattox. The enemy had strong, well
stocked forts, and though we anticipated a
determined resistance, we captured them
with but little trouble, with all that was in
them, securing IS pieces of all fashions and
calibers.; The enemy then fell back and
took position near Farmsville. Here thew
held us the entire remainder of the dav.
Notwithstanding strong efforts on the part
OF the "a corps to dislodge them. The enc
my tried several times to cut his Wav
through our lines, but always with such
fatal effect to himself that he finally aban-
doned the attempt. The I'd division was
sent down the railroad to seize the village
OF Farmsville, which they did without
trouble: Previously they had "a skirmish,
IN which Gen. Smyth was, it is feared, NOR
tally wounded. Gen. Ewell, after his cap
ture, said Gen. Lee long since wanted to
take his troops westward and there disband
them, but Davis would not consent. Ut
DnoouOi corresponding Vi UL6 w Orlu DAT
ing. Burksville, April 9TH, says:
Yesterday Sheridan discovered force of
the enemy and large wagon train pushing
briskly toward their main army. He inn,
nediately pushed ahead his troops and
found the enemy in position from which
they were driven, and after hard fighting
they fell back to another position, from
which Sheridan could not, with his cavalry
alone, bulge them. The I'd and 9th corps
came up and were put in position, which
they held through the night. Next morn
ing Custer was sent forward to barricade
the road the rebels would take in retreat
ing. The formation of the infantry being
completed, the charge was sounded. The
rebels held our. troops at bay for a time,
but our men finally rushed upon Them
when they fled down the pike, where thew
were met by Custer and held in check. The
enemy, finding they could not get past Gus
ter, turned again upon the infantry. They
charged impetuously, and then our troons,
counter charged, when the enemy hoisted
the white flag and surrendered. 1t was in
this fight that Ewell and the other officers
were captured, not only out-fought, but
handsomely out-generaled.

All the hospitals of Richmond have been
taken possession of by the military authori-

equally Of the Federal and Confederate sick

which accommodations were left entire by

On yesterday about A. NJ, we took up
anchor, and went toward the Battery. Co
ing along slowly, we came in range, and
then anchored about 2 p. M. to get dinner.
After dinner, we took in our anchor, and
proceeded toward the Battery, firing out of
our forward turret as we went. After going
so close that the shots from the rebels went
over us. the Admiral ordered us to back
out. We did so, backing right on to one of
those internal torpedoes.
We were all at quarters; that is, at our
stations In battle. About 5 p. M. we were
all lying in the turret, awaiting orders to
fire, when there was an explosion right I'M
der us, jarring the whole ship, raising some
OF the men in the after turret off their feet.

would have caught the torpedo. Small
boats are continually picking them up. The
land forces are attacking the fort, skirmish-

mencing again this morning.
The rebs fired salute from the city when
we, went down. They could have made
sad havoc among us from the Battery, If
they had wanted to, for we were within

for saving us all.
