Gen. Lee gives the following account Ol
the fighting below Petersburg:
HEADQ'Rs ARMY NORTHERN
VIRGINIA, Feb. q.
To General Cooper:
The enemy moved strong force yester-
day to Hatcher's Run. Part Of his infantry
with Grcgg's cavalry crossed and proceeded
on the Vaughn road-the infantry to Cat
Tail Greek and the cavalry 70 Dinwiddie G..
H., where its advance encountered portion
of our cavalry, and retired. In the afternoon,
part of Hines and Jordan's troops demon
strated against the enemy on the left OF
Hatchcr's Run, near Armstrong; Mill, and
finding him entrcnched, they withdrew.
During the night the force that had advanced
beyond the creek returned to 1t and was re
pofted TO he recrossing.
This morning Pegram's division moved to
the right bank of the creek to reconnoitre
when it was vigorously attacked. The battle
was Obstinately contested, but Gen. Pegmm
being killed while bravely encouraging his
men, and Col. Hoffman wounded, some con.
fusion occurred, and the division was pressed
back to its original position. Evans division
was ordered by Gen. Gordon to the support
of Pcgram's, and charged the enemy and
forced him back, but was in turn compelled
to retire. Mahon's division arriving, the
enemy was driven rapidly back to their de-
fences on Hatcher's Run.
Our loss is reported small that Of the en-
envy not supposed great.

The result Of yesterdays engagement was
more important than reported. Particulars
were not fully known at the time when the
9TH corps fell back to the line Of works at
Hatcher's Run on Monday night The enc
my did not follow very vigorously, nor did
they make any attempt to storm the posi-
ton. 1t was believed, however, they would
do so yesterday morning, but up to noon no
sign Of an attack appeared, nor did the rel,-
els seem to be in strong force In the vicin-
ity. II was therefore determined TO send a
reconnaissance ont on the ground occupied
by us the day previous and ascertain where
the rebels were, and if possible to force them
back TO their works ut Dabney's mills.
Gen. Crawfords division Of the 9th corps
having led the advance the day before, and
beng best acquainted with the nature Ofthe
country, was selected for the duty, which
they performed To the entire satisfaction Of
the Commanding General. The column
moved about noon, taking the Dabney's mill
road, and after advancing about half mile,
struck the rebel pickets, who fell back as
our men advanced. Line Of battle was then
formed, the right resting ON Hstcller's Run
and the left supported by part of Gen. Wheat
On's command Of the 9th corps.
The entire command then advanced eau
