d. Here we had little available artillery, and met a formidable fire from every species of arms. It cost us a heavy loss, but it was imperatively necessary to stop the enemy's advance. But in the action on the right it was better. The results were equally good, while the losses were far lighter, and the enemy suffered in an inverse ratio. Not that the troops were any braver on the right, or the fighting any better, for they were not, nor could they be, but they fought on the defensive. May 29. After having remained in position before the enemy three days, and tested pretty thoroughly his strength and disposition, and ascertained that the passes were too strongly fortified to be carried without an unnecessary loss of life, the determination seems to have been formed to march the whole line of battle by the left flank, and then, by a sudden massing of troops, to effect a passage by certain roads in that quarter, yet undefined. This plan was to have been carried out quietly and

May 25.--Advanced toward Dallas, crossed Pumpkin-vine creek, rested in reserve in rear of Major-General Hooker's corps, while he had heavy fighting in front, late in the evening. May 26.--Moved into position on left of Twentieth corps, pressed close upon the enemy's lines and fortified, four miles north of Dallas. May 27.--Changed position to the left, relieving General Wood's troops. Close skirmishing all day. May 28.--Advanced, drove in the enemy's outposts, and fortified. May 29.--Advanced the battery to front line. Heavy skirmishing. During the night the enemy attacked, and was repulsed with severe loss. We continued the varied scenes, some changes in position, with heavy skirmishing, until the night of the fourth of June, when the enemy withdrew from our front. June 6.--Marched with the corps east ten miles, to within two and a half miles of Ackworth, on railroad, where we remained with comparative quiet until June tenth, when we moved three miles south-ea

of marching and fighting, has been excessive, and the work has been a most severe strain on the physical and moral powers of men and officers; but there is nothing which buoys an army up like success, and the determination of the Army of the Potomac abates not a jot or a tittle of the purpose with which it set out. I need not say that purpose is the capture of the rebel capital and the destruction of the rebel army. General Grant's headquarters, near Hanovertown, south bank of the Pamunkey May 29, 7 P. M. The flanking movement of the Army of the Potomac from the south bank of the North Anna to the south side of the Pamunkey, accomplished by daybreak this morning, deserves to be called the most remarkable and creditable performance of this campaign. The following embodies a concise narrative of the details of Thursday and Friday.

General Grant's headquarters, near Hanovertown, south bank of the Pamunkey May 29, 7 P. M. The flanking movement of the Army of the Potomac from the south bank of the North Anna to the south side of the Pamunkey, accomplished by daybreak this morning, deserves to be called the most remarkable and creditable performance of this campaign. The following embodies a concise narrative of the details of Thursday and Friday. Not having clearly established whether the whole or only a part of Lee's army confronted us south of the North Anna, and it being possible that a portion of the enemy was moving for the south bank of the Pamunkey, in anticipation of another flanking movement by our forces, it was deemed necessary to march a sufficiently strong body from the North Anna with the utmost rapidity down its left bank, for the purpose of seizing the upper crossings of the Pamunkey, and thus securing us the means of another direct advance on Richmond. For this important duty the First an
