CO\SF.fITIVE HISTORICAL ACfOIXTS OF
THE SEIEBiI. DAYS’ OPERATIONS.
FIUOAY S OFLEATIOXB.
New York, April 13tli, 1
Tlie Tribune’s special gives the following
account of this day’s fighting. At daybreak
a movement was made to secure position to
advance upon the enemy, covering \) bite*
Oak Road, the object being to possess that
road which intersects the Clarbome road lead
ing to the Soutbside Railroad. At 8 o’clock
Ayres Division, supported by Crawford’s and
Griffin's advanced and immediately met re
sistance from Rebel skirmishers, who were
pushed back to within a mile of )\ bite Oak
Road. At this junction the enemy massed
and with their usual yell charged. Oar
column wavered for a time and finally gave
way,retiring slowly towardsßoydstown road,
halting on a hill, where supported by Griffin's
Division ; which had just come up, they
took shelter in the breastworks. The enemy
made several ineffectual attempts to dislodge
them, a fierce fire of artillery and musketry
meauwhile pouring death into the ranks of
the Rebels. At 1 o’clock Miles’ Division was
ordered to strike the enemy on the left, while
the Fifth Corps again essayed to get posses
sion of White Oak Road, by advancing sim
ultaneously.
The Filtli Corps moved upon the enemy
who stubbornly held his ground for some
time, when the rapid volleys from the right
and the loud cheers that lollowed told of the
successful issue of Miles’ attack on the rebel
flank as he rolled up the enemy's line now
broken, routed and falling back, lollowed by
Warren (Fifth Corps,) who was soon in pos
session of the coveted White Oak road. The
field showed on every baud traces of the
sanguinary conflict. Huge pines cut down
by 3hot, and the ground over which Miles
swept J down in echelon upon the enemy’s
flank was covered with rebel dead. While
this was goiug on, heavy skirmishing was
taking place on our line as far as Hatcher’s
Run, and our troops in that direction were
advanced several hundred yards and en
trenched, while the sharpshooters were en
gaged silencing rebel batteries. Among the
killed Is Major Charles J. Mills, Adjutant to
Gen. Humphreys.
The Tribune’s Washington special eorres
pondent says that it was understood there
that Grant’s plau was, that Sheridan should
cut the Southside railroad and reach over to
the Danville road. The Armies of the Poto
mac and the James were to push over towards
the left and turn Lee’s right flank, while the
line in front of Petersburg was still to be
held, and, if possible, advanced. Judging
by the latest despatches, the whole plan
seems to have been successful, including the
cutting of the Southside railroad, the turning
of Lee's right flank, and the carrying of a
portion of the rebel works in front of Peters
burg. Two lines of policy only, it is be
lieved, remains open to Lee. To retreat to
Danville, or, failing in this, to fight until
Johnston can be hurried up on the Weldon
railroad to reinforce him. This is believed
possible, and herein military men conceive
our danger.
The IleraWs Filth Corps correspondence
of the 31st, says the .enemy had been
strengthening their ahuttls in front of their
line, but no firing had taken place. The
Corps had been held in readiness to move
at a moment’s notice, but was not called
upon up to*tbat time.
The Herald's Army of the James corres
pondence says troops were selected for spe
cial service from both Corps and sent across
the James under command of Gen. Ord. At
sunset, on the 28th, they occupied the posi
tion vacated by the Second Corps, which
was moved to the left. In the midst of a
rain storm Turner moved his division of the
Twenty-fourth Corps, just after daybreak,
down the Vaughn road, crossed Hatcher s
llun aud pushed forward to make a connec
tion with tiie right of the Second Corps.—
With no fighting the connection was made.
Other were also moved so as to
make a continuous line. Turner captured a
line of Rebel rifle pits with nearly all the
Rebels in them, simultaneously.
Gen. Foster rushed forward part of iiis di
vision materially aiding Turner's success.—
The advance of both of these divisions was
inside the Rebel picket line, and within six
hundred yards of the main works. Birney’s
Division is on the right of Foster, strength
ening the latter’s line. Thoughout the
night of the 30th our men were busy
strengthening their works, and now liave a
line that will enable them to hold their
ground against any forces of the enemy.
Saturday’s operations.
0» Saturday’s operations the Tribune cor
respondent says: At 7a. m. the Fifth Corps
was again in motion, passing to the left along
White Oak road to join Sheridan, executing
the difficult movement of marching by the
flank in the presence of the enemy, with
drawing the divisions in rear of each other
and marching them oft successively from
right to left, the [left division (Crawford’s)
executing the same movement by brigade,
j While this was taking place the Second
■ Corps moved towards White Oak road by a
i more direct route, aud established connection
with the light of the Fifth Corps. Mean
while, Sheridan with four cavalry divisions,
passing around the left of the whole army,
went through Dinwiddie Court House and
toward the Soutliside railroad with unusual
rapidity.
The force which drove Crawford and Ayres
across Gravelly Run, however, at once turn
ed their attention to him, moving rapidly to
the right, and. after a desperate conflict, he
also was driven back within a mile of Din
wkldie Court House; but, joined by War
ren’s Corps, he again took the offensive and
in turn drove the enemy, captured the posi
tion known as Five Forks, together with
about four thousand prisoners and several
batteries of artillery'. He was then joined by
Miles’ Division, of the Second Corps, and
pushed westward for the Soutliside road.
This he soon reached and took position upon
it. The Fifth Corps, supporting the cavalry,
also took 15 guns aud about 2,000 prisoners,
enabling Sheridan to drive back the force
which on Friday afternoon checked his ad
vance near Dinwiddie Court House.
On receiving this news it was determined
to give the enemy no time to send troops to
their right, and at once a simultaneous attack
was ordered all along the lines by the Ninth,
Sixth, Twenty-seventh and Second Corps.
The order was given about nine o'clock at
night, aud in less than an hour a furious as
sault was begun on the Rebel entrenchments
in the fronts of their several commands, re
sulting in the enemy being driven in confu
sion from their first into their second line of
works, with a loss of over 5,000 prisoners,
several forts, and about 20 pieces of artillery.
The Second Corps was engaged all day in
their front, and in spite of the terrible fire of
musketry poured into their ranks from be
hind ttieir works, they succeeded in main
taining their new line several hundred yards
in advance of the line they occupied iu the
morning. ,
The Twenty-fourth Corps occupied tiie
centre of our line, its left connecting with
the Second at Hatcher's Ruff, and its right
going left of the Sixth Corps. Before day
light Sunday morning the Rebels made a
furious assault oh our position, this time
driving] a portion of the third Brigade from
iheir breastworks, and capturing one hun
dred prisoners. Their success, however, did
not last long, the 20tli Pennsylvania, by a
gallant charge, driving them back beyond
trie first battle linA A sharp fire was kept
up all day by both sides. Owing to the
hot fire by pur sharpshooters, the enemy was
unable to work his guns, consequently very
few casualties occurred to our side from
shells. Our batteries however, rained an
iucessant fire into their entreuchmants.
There was little fighting in front of the
Sixth Corps until night, when considerable
shelling occurred. Quiet also reigned in
front ot the Ninth Corps. So matters stood
until 10 o’clock, when the Second Corps was
startled into sharper attention by a few shots
from their front, soon swelling into battling
volleys. The batteries joineil in the clamor.
The firing spread rapidly to the front of the
Twenty-fourth Corps, and on to the Sixth ;
then away to the right, till it reached the
Ninth Corps, about 11 o’clock,' at which time
the fighting was at its height. Presently
cheeis broke out in the front of the Second,
as trie fire slackened.
By 2 1-2 trie fire had nearly ceased along
the whole line, but at 4 in the evening it
suddenly broke out again, nearer than ever
to trie Second Corps, while sharp artillery
practice was heard far to the right, and again
the crash of battle sped from end to end of
the line. At 0 the battle was raging fiercely,
but our colors were advancing all along the
line.
The Herald correspondence has the fol
lowing account of operations on Sunday: At
midnight Saturday Geu. Wilcox had orders
to demonstrate on the right of the fine so as
to draw the rebels from the left preparatory
to operations in that quarter the next morn
ing. Admiral Porter and all the artilleiy in
the works on the right were also set at work.
Wilcox’s skirmish line was advanced. Tne
rebels were aroused, and soon sharp volleys
of musketry were heard, indicating that they
were at work. Amid the noise and smoke
the skirmishers pushed on until reaching the
outskirts of Petersburg, when they met a
heavy body of rebels advancing upon them.
A brisk engagement followed, but our num
bers were so small that we were compelled
to withdraw. Wilcox then got orders to
attack Fort Mahone on the left, lie massed
a column for the purpose. While this was
being done similar dispositions were making
further to the left, aud a system of cannon
signals had been agreed upon to fix the mo
ment of starting that all might assault simf
ultaneously.
Owing to a mist which hung over the field
the preparations had been concealed from the
rebels. At 4 o'clock the signal was given.
The men advanced quietly and in perfect
order, with fixed bayonets. That they went to
slay was indicated bytheir being accompanied
by a detachment of heavy artillery, prepared
to turn and work the enemy’s guns. Pres
ently musketry was heard—the Rebel picket
line was reached. Now a hearty cheer, fol
lowed by a roar of musketry. The cheering
aud musketry firing is taken up and runs
along to the left until it is lost in the distance.
Instantly the artillery on both sides is at
work, and two hundred big guns belch forth
their thunders. But the work is quickly
done. Harriman, of the 37th Wisconsin,
acting Brigadier, gives the order, “Charge
bayonets! double quick! Charge!” and
awap the noble fellows went, over breast-
Works, rifle pits, al/bati, cheranx de f,'rise ,
the parapet of the fort, into the main work,
and the deed is accomplished. For one mo
ment the thunderstruck Rebels looked and
then took to flight. But our fellows were
too quick for all of them and captured two
hundred and fifty.
Nine guns were found in the fort and
quickly trained and set at work on annoying
the Rebel batteries. This, with the simulta
neous operations further to the left, cut the
Rebel line in two,took from them command
ing positions and a large amount of valuable
artillery. Scarcely were were we quiet iu
possession of the fort when the Rebels, baring
reorganized their forces and picked up some
reinforcements, came up w ith a determined
effort to retake it. They made a most des
perate assault, standing up manfully against
terrific discharges of grape and canister, and
withering volleys of musketry; but it was
all to no purpose. Four times during the
day did they attempt to retake this impor
tant position, but were each time sent reel
ing back in disorder, losing heavily each
time. It was in one of these assaults that
the Rebel General A- P. HijJ lost his life,
seeking in person to lead his men up to the
works. Meantime the Sixth and Twenty
fourth Corps having broken through the
Rebel lines in their front, were swinging
around to their rear and coming down both
upon their and flank. It was evident Peters
burg was lost to the rebellion. The move
ments of the Sixth Corps were so rapid that
Gen. Lee himself narrowly escaped capture.
As it was, his headquarters fell into our
hands.
RICHMOND.
The evacuation of the city was seriously
contemplated several days before it took
place, but the final decision was not arrived
at until Sunday afterqoon last, when Lee tele
graphed, to Davis that Grant had rendered
the holding of the city by him impossible.
This telegram was read in the churches, and
the departure of the leading Rebels com
menced at once, and was continued through
the night. .Test. Davis left at 8 p. m. for Dan
ville, and it is understood the government
archives were sent to that place and Wil
ton, N. C. The city was fired by General
Ewell, and although Gen. Weitzel on reach
ing the city, endeavored to subdue the flames,
one third of the city was destroyed. Among
the buildings burned, were the War Depart
ment, Post Office, Treasury Department,
several churches, two banks and three news
paper offices.
It was understood to have been Lee’s de
sign to endeavor to reach Danville, Va., and
there fortify aud make another stand. This
plan Sheridan’s movement has frustrated,
aud Lee is now apparently endeavoring to
get to Lynchburg.
The works in front of Richmond consist
of three strong lines wholly enveloping the
city. The outer ones are continuous; the
under ones consisting of a series of strong re
doubts and bastion forts. All these mount
upwards of three hundred guns, and would,
when properly garrisoned, form an almost
impregnable series of defences. Torpedoes
were thickly strewn all over the ground,
marked with little flags for the safety of the
rebels, but which they neglected to remove
in their hasty flight, and thus saved many of
the lives of our men when marching into
Richmond.
The second line was found equally as
strong as the first excepting as to abattis and
torpedoes. The tliird line is first outside the
edge of the town, situated on higli ground.
These works, like the others, mount heavy
guns. Davis received Lee’s despatch to
evacuate while in church. Davis took on
the train he escaped with, horses and car
riages so 'as to take to the country in case
the road was interrupted. He expressed
himself as being yet determined not to give
up, though it was certain he had but little
hope left. Extra Billy Smith did not leave
till after midnight. He left his wife behind,
as also did Gen. Lee. The news of ihe
death of her son W. H. F. Lee, in the bat
lies, has been received.
The legislature was in session as late as
nine o'clock Sunday night, when they start
d for Columbia by Canal and James River.
Breckenridge left the city as late as half
past six Monday morning. A number of
Rebel officers were arrested in the city and
parolled.
The machinery of the famous Tredegar
Works Richmond, were sent Danvilleaul
a fortnight ego. Also that of all the facto
ries. Davis is said to have carried with him
about three hundred thousand dollars in spe
cie. Gen. Lee was in Petersburg until the
evacuation Sunday, and was very fretful and
despondent. The fight was mainly under
the direction of Longstreet. In the death of
Hill, Lee lost a valuable Lieutenant, which
aided rnueh in depressing his spirits
Grant’s pursuit is in three columns.
Food was so scarce in Petersburg, that
many poor people went out to our camps and
picked up the rations of beef and hard bread
that were lying around, and many carried off
the blankets they found in the log huts. Os
tobacco there was plenty. Indeed the great
features were the scarcity of food and plenty
of tobacco. There was also a surplus of Ap
ple Jack. The Tribune’s Washington special
says, Davis has gone to Georgia, and will at
tempt to re-establish his government at Au
gusta.
