The Daily Dispatch: November 3, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
the failure on the south side, the correspondent says: By far the largest proportion of the losses fell to the lot of the Second corps. General Hancock succeeded in reforming his line by the time he had got abreast of Warren's left, and the rebels withdrawing, there the matter ended for a time, the net result being that we lost our precarious hold on Boydton road. General Miles, last night, had an hour or two of sport in front of Petersburg, on part of the line which was held by Barlow's division, of the Second corps. He sallied out with his brigade under cover of a terrific cannonade, and assaulted that wonderful line of earthworks that has been confronting us so long. He reached them, and actually carried them and entered them. This impregnable line was ours; Petersburg was a short mile and a half away. No wonder Miles felt jubilant. But soon his joy was checked. He had proceeded on the assumption that Lee had depleted this line to meet the attack on his right.
