BEDFORD. Pa. FRIDAY. APRIL IA. 1865.

By the repulse Of Sheridan, and his retire
ment through Dinwiddie Court House on Fri
day afternoon, it was st once seen that a
change of front of at least the Fifth Corps
would be necessary, in order to meet any at
tack by large force of the enemy on its left
and rear. Accordingly, at midnight on Fri
day, the Fifth, leaving an interval to be sup-
Piled by Miles Division of the Second, left
its position, and, moving down the Boydtown
Plank toward Dinwiddie. massed atthe Butler
House for the purpose Of seizing the White
Oak Road, which, several miles above the
junction Of the Quaker and Boydtown, runs
west from the latter until it strikes the Clai-
borne Road leading TO Sutherland Station.
Early in the morning the Fifth moved for
ward, while the Second commenced demon
strating its front for the purpose of masking
our real intention, viz the possession of the
White Oak Road The charge of the Fifth
was temporarily successful, the enemy being
pushed back to a point near the coveted road
when he rallied, and in turn assaulted the
Fifth, which retired somewhat hastily to the
vicinity of the Boydtown Road, where it took
shelter behind a line oftemporary works. At
this iuncture the division of Mills was direc-
ted to strike the victorious enemy on the flank
and massing his brigades in echelon, he began
moving to the left and west from his position
on the Boy.ltown Plank. The remainder Of
the Second was meanwhile engaged in heavy
skirmishing across the Boydtown Plank
Gen. Humphreys moved his headquarters to
the Rainie House, at the junction of the Boyd
town and Quaker Roads, and it was near this
point that his A. A. G., Major Mills, was
killed by a round shot from one of the enemys
batteries.
About 104 o clock in the forenoon, the col
umn of Miles struck the Rebel left in front of
Warren, surprised it, and moving rapidly for
ward, drove the enemy like frightened sheep
down Warrens front, capturing prisoners,
guns, and colors, and then wheeling to the
right, still pursuing the flying enemy, estab-
hshed himself on the White Oak Road, across
which Warren afterward formed his command
facing north east, and connecting with Miles
Division of the Second. Thus, after severe
engagement of several hours, we had, at the
cost of several hundred lives, comnassed our
original intention. During the day, Sheridan
confronted by superior numbers, was again
forced to retire, aid it became necessary to
confront the masses of the enemy which had
gathered on our leis to protect the southside
Railroad, with larger numbers. With the ex-
eeption of an irregular artillery fire on the
Twenty fourth and Sixth Corps front, all had
been quiet along tie right during the day
Foster, the Twelty-fourth Corps had again
advanced his pickets so near TO the guns of
the enemy, that the gunners we're finally un-'
able 10 work them, and thus the night of Fri
day closed upon the two armies.

SUNDAY AND VICTORY.

Sunday, that glorious day, came, bringing
with it sun dinned only by the battle
smoke of the four days preceding, and the
Indian Summery haze which for week had
hung over the two armies Sheridan legion
of prisoners began to arrive at Humphrey
Station on their way to City Point, seemingly
we'll pleased with he change in their condi-
ton A grand right wheel of the whole line
south of the Appomattox had been decided
upon by Gen. Grant The Sixth and Ninth
Corps, the latter east and the former south
east and south of Petersburg, had been order
ed to make grand and combined assault up
on the enemy's works in their front, while
the command of Gen. Ord on both sides OF
Hatcheris Run moved to their support, fol-
lowed by the Second, which was to connect
on the left of the Sixth, southwest Of the
town.
Early in the morning Turner and Foster 8
Divisions of Ord's command, moved to the
support of the Sixth Corps. leaving Birney OF
the Colored Division to charge the enemy
simultaneously with the Second on its left.

SATURDAY..

Saturday was All Fools Day, and Sheridan
having as yet met with no important success,
determined to honor the day by victimizing
the elated Johnnies in his front. Again War
rem moved rearward from the White Oak
Road to report to Sheridan, and Mills like
wise fell back and extended his Division
along the Boydtown plank facing north west
ward. Sheridan who in the morning was
east of point known as the Five Forks,
commenced moving west and northwest IN
several columns later in the day, and meet
ing the enemy there in large force, fight
was at once inaugurated. The Fifth Corps
meanwhile had moved southwest toward the
Five Forks, and the enemy struck in front
and on both fanks soon wavered and fell back.
Charges, such as have never before been ex-
ceeded for valor and impetuosity during the
war, were now made by both infantry and
cavalry, and the glorious result has already
been told, the Rebel hosts were rolled up in
confusion and made captives, not by regi-
ments but by brigadee. -Four thousand pris-
oners and number of guns and eolors are re-
ported as the result of this well-fought fight.
1t is also currently reported by officers and
men that PARTON of Warren's command be-
haved badly; that Sheridan, with his usual
impetuosity, endeayored to advance that por-
ton by bearing his colors along their front in
the face of murderous FIRE, and ordering
them forward; and that, in refusing to obey,
they were guilty of criminal INSTRUMENTATION,
defying his authority to command them.
Time viii tell how much of these reports are
true. At night Warren was relieved, and
ordered to report TO Lieut.. Gen. Grant, ru-
NOR says for refusing to obey Sheridan's com
mands. During the engagement of the cav
airy and the Fifth Corps, the enemy demon
strated in front of the Second Corps, but met
with no success.
BEFORE daylight in the morning they had
also attacked Fosters advanced position of
the day previous, charging and capturing a
portion of his line, held by the Tooth N. Y,
and 80 prisoners. The enemy was in turn as
sauted by the 2O6th Pennsylvania, and driv-
en- from our works, and our original line re-
sumed.

Not relishing Sheridan's alarming proximi-
ty to the Southside Railroad, the enemy, hav-
ing been reinforced by Pickett's Division,
made an impetuous attack upon him in front
and on the flank, and at night had pushed
back our troops after heavy fighting, compell-
ing us to leave behind in the enemy's hands
many of our dead and wounded. As before
stated, the fifth Corps had, on the night pre-
