General Gregg, who never allows his division to be driven under any circumstances, at once started for the front with General Davies' brigade, and, putting in the First New Jersey and one squadron of the First Massachusetts, drove the enemy steadily, compelling him to fall back across the Po and behind his fortifications. Our loss in killed and wounded in this sharp fight was between seventy and eighty. Here Captain Hart and Lieutenant Mitchner, of the First New Jersey, were wounded, and Captain Lawrence Hopkins, of the First Massachusetts, had his horse killed by a shell, and himself wounded in the foot, as he was gallantly leading his squadron into the fight. We held the battlefield that night.

The cavalry of this department have been doing splendid service since the opening of the campaign, and are constantly on the move. Our loss is very slight, not exceeding fifty, killed, wounded and missing. Among the latter, I regret to state, is Captain George D. Hart, of Company K, of the Fifth, a brave and efficient officer. Great credit is due to General A. V. Kautz, Colonel S. P. Spear, and their subordinate officers, for their gallant attack upon the strongly-fortified city of Petersburg. The crossing of the James.
