WILSON'S STATION, Va, April 4.
HIM. E. II. Stanton, Secy Var:
The army is pushing forward in hope of
overtaking and dispensing the remainder
of Lees army.
Sberidan's army and the 9Th corps are
between here and the Appomatox.
The Cd and Sd corps are following.
General Ord is following the line of the
Southside Railroad. All of the enemy
that retains anything like an organization
have gone north of the Appomatox and
apparently are heading for Lynchburg.
Their losses have been very heavy.
The houses through the, country have
nearly all been taken as hospitals for the
wounded in every direction.
I hear of rebel soldiers pushing for
home, some in large, some in small squads,
and generally without arms.
The cavalry have pursued so closely
that the enemy have been forced to de-
stroy, probably the greater part of their
transportation, caissons and munitions of
war. The number of prisoners captured
yesterday was over 1000.
From the 2Sth of March to the present
time our loss in killed, wounded and cap
tured will not probably reach 1000, of
whom from 1900 to 1000 were captured,
and many are but slightly wounded.
I shall continue the pursuit as long as
there appears to be any use in it.

During the month the premium on gold
has declined 49, per cent, or rather
greenbacks, which were on the LIST of
March worth fifty cents, are how worth
sixty-six cents on the dollar. From care
full examination it will be seen that nearly
every article on our list has declined BRO

1neSo Simultaneous operations further
to the left cut the rebel line and took from
them commanding positions and large
amount Of artillery. Scarcely were we in
possession Of the Fort when the rebels,
having their forces picked up and some re-
Inducements, came up with yells to re-
take it. They made most desperate as.
sault, standing up manfully against terrific
discharges of grape and canister and
whitening volleys Of musketry, but it was
to no purpose.
Four times during the day did they at
tempt to re-take this important position,
but were each time sent reeling back in
disorder, losing heavily each time.
1t was in one of these assaults that the
rebel General A. P. Hill lost his life,
seeking in person to lead bis men up to
the works. Meantime the 9Th and oath
corps had broken through the rebel lines
in their front-were swung to their rear,
and coming down both upon their rear
and flank. 1t was evident Petersburg
was lost to the rebellion. The move
ments ofthe 9th corps were 30 rapid that
General Lee himself narrowly escaped
capture, as it was bisheadquarters that fell
into onr hands. 80
The 1ribune.s correspondent recounts
the operations on our left as follows:
At 4:30 Sunday morning the 9th corps
left its line to attack the enemys left CEN
ire. It moved in echelon, so as to enable
the corps to throw forward its left, and
flank the works Of the enemy one after an

Protection was promised on the part Of
the troops, and the citizens have no cause
of complaint, for certainly there is no in
stance on record where an army, after Iy-
irg so long in front of q place of 50 much
importance, and losing 80 many men in the
effort to capture it, entered city with
less disorder and doing less damage to
private property, than in this case.
The citizens did not show themselves
during the fore part of the day, but after
discovering that our soldiers were orderly
and well behaved, with no disposition to
disturb or annoy any one, they began to
make their appearance at the doors and
windows of their residences, and later in
the day many even expressing their joy
that the war would soon be ovet. ~.
For more than month past the rebel
troops have been receiving less rations
than ever before, only just enough being
brought to last from day to day. ,iissl.
Citizens say they have suffered much,
but it Is well to take such stories with q
good deal Of allowance. s5s-
