upon the intrenchments occupied by the enemy in front of the captured line of works. It is scarcely necessary to add that our troops, after capturing a line of rifle-pits, were repulsed with considerable loss, the Rebels being now so strongly intrenched Our move on the 19th was one in connection with Barlow's, Birney's, and Gibbon's divisions, which took post near Anderson's Mills on the Ny. Owing to the losses in action and the expiration of the term of service of many regiments of Mott's division (4th), it had become so reduced in numbers that I issued an order on the 13th of May consolidating it into a brigade, and assigning it to Birney's division.— Hancock's Official Report. Here orders were received to be in readiness to march at dark towards Bowling Green; and it was while preparations were making for this movement that the corps was called upon to aid in checking a bold dash against our right flank.

This movement was making by the divisions of Mott and Barlow, who were pivoting on Gibbon's Division, which held the right. Just as the operation was nearly completed, a part of Hill's corps (Mahone's division) pancock concludes his report of operations at Deep Bottom as follows: I continued holding the line during the 29th with the remaining divisions of my corps, Mott's division had been ordered to report to Gen. Ord, the day before. Barge's brigade of the Tenth Corps, This corps was now commanded by Gen. Birney, who had beenssion to the enemy that we were withdrawing from Deep Bottom, and to induce them to come out of their works and attack. The ruse failed. At 8 o'clock P. M., Gen. Mott was ordered to Petersburg to relieve the Ninth Corps from the intrenchments. Immediately after dark (20th), I withdrew my command, in accordance with orders,

t was speedily repulsed. A second and more vigorous attack met with a similar fate. About this time Hancock received a despatch from Meade, notifying him that Mott had been ordered to send down all his available force, and stating further that he thought the enemy was about to assume the offensive against him, or was about tothe Plank Road, I despatched a staff officer (Capt. Entee) to conduct it up. Arrangements were made as to its disposition. About 5 o'clock, a staff officer from Gen. Mott (Maj. Willian) reported the arrival of seven hundred men of Gen. Mott's Division at the forks of the road where the Reams Station leaves the Plank Road. These tGen. Mott's Division at the forks of the road where the Reams Station leaves the Plank Road. These troops would have been immediately ordered up, but Maj.

McAllister, commanding the force, to hold well down the Plank Road in anticipation of any attempt of
