th says in his report prevented his going on? At the time of Smith's arrival Beauregard had under his command at Petersburg twenty-two hundred effective men. The line was seven and one half miles long, and these troops occupied three miles of it, leaving four and one half miles undefended. On the Bermuda Hundred front was Jackson's division less Ransom's and Gracie's brigades, giving him thirty-two hundred men there, or a total force of fifty-four hundred on that front and in Petersburg. Hoke's division was ordered to him at 11.30 A. M., on the 15th, and Hagood's brigade thereof reached Petersburg just after Smith's fight at seven o'clock and the capture of the batteries. They were followed by two other brigades within a few hours. At 10.20 P. M. of the 15th, General Beauregard ordered the abandonment of the Bermuda Hundred lines, and the removal of that portion of Johnson's division to Petersburg. Johnson evacuated the Bermuda Hundred line at dawn on the 16th, and arrived in P

ived good treatment from me, came in. He said that they had marched down from Richmond, and that Kirkland's brigade and one other were already down there; and that Hoke was on his way with large reinforcements and had arrived by land the night before at Wilmington, which was about twenty-one or twenty-two miles off. At that time I could possibly plant a gun, I was not very hopeful of preventing, with my field guns, blockaders running by. I had obtained information which satisfied me that Hoke's division was there, and when they were all there with the garrisons and reserves that had been thrown in, there would be at least twice as many as I had on shore. Hoke's division alone was about six thousand men, and I had between twenty-one hundred and twenty-three hundred men landed. I had under my command sixty-five hundred men in all. It was evidently impossible to do anything further at that time in the way of landing. But troops can be got off when it is not possible to land them

[no. 60. see page 669.] near Chester, May 30, 1864, 10 P. M. Gen. R. E. Lee, at Lee's Station: Hoke's division and Read's battalion of artillery have been ordered to report to you forthwith. I willina reserves, and other prisoners. From them I learned that Kirkland's and Hagood's brigades of Hoke's division had left the front of the Army of the James, near Richmond, and were then within two mhe rear of my forces, and their skirmishers were then actually engaged, and that the remainder of Hoke's division had come the night before to Wilmington, and were then on the march, if they had not aarned, also, that these troops had left Richmond on Tuesday, the 20th. Knowing the strength of Hoke's division, I found a force opposed to me outside of the works larger than my own. In the mean work, finding it utterly impracticable for a land assault, and that at least two (2) brigades of Hoke's division from before Richmond had arrived there, and that the rest was on the road, I withdrew
