eld. In my account of the works around Richmond and Petersburg, I have made free use of papers by Major-General Wright, Chief of Engineers, United States Army, and Lieutenant-Colonel Michie, also of the Engineers, published in the Report on the Defences of Washington, by Major-General Barnard, of the same corps; as well as of a paper on the Fortifications of Petersburg, by Lieutenant Featherstonaugh, of the Royal (British) Engineers. I am also indebted for valuable assistance to Major-General Humphreys, late Chief of Engineers, United States Army. The people of the North entirely failed to appreciate the importance of the seizure of the Weldon road. The disaster of Burnside had left an impression that could not easily be effaced, and all the subsequent manoeuvres on the right and left were, to the multitude, unintelligible. It was only perceived that Hancock had twice been moved to the north bank of the James, and twice withdrawn. Not only was the fact unnoticed that by these m

Humphreys had succeeded Hancock in command of the Secoon the field, he promptly ordered Wright and Humphreys to advance and feel the enemy in their respessing of the Vaughan road and Hatcher's run; Humphreys was on the left of Ord, extending northwesteretired behind him.

Humphreys can push everything he has to his left, and ke and Wright were to attack positively, and Humphreys and Ord, if they found the enemy leaving, ordes. I think there will be no difficulty in Humphreys marching forward now towards Petersburg, or Wilcox, further to the west, were cut off by Humphreys and Ord. Pickett in the night had endeavoredect with the Ninth, and the two divisions of Humphreys were extending to the Appomattox on the nortout, it was at this juncture that he ordered Humphreys to be faced to the right and moved towards Pommand and destroy it before they retired. Humphreys was accordingly ordered to send another divi Wright: Send Mott up the River road to join Humphreys as soon as possible.

Humphreys moved between one and two o'clock, and Wrigough him orders to the corps commanders. To Humphreys he said: The Fifth corps covers well your flright, so as to come in on the enemy's rear: Humphreys has struck the enemy at Deatonsville. He red with the enemy.
