toward me apparently dictated their suppositions, and they have done me much injustice. I was relieved only after the battle was over, and while at the head of my troops, and when not even a fugitive of the enemy was in sight. I personally sought of General Sheridan a reason for his order; but he would not, or could not, give one, and declined to do so. I obeyed the order to report to General Grant that night, and was by him assigned to the command of the defences at City Point and Bermuda Hundred. After the evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg, I was given the command of the troops at the latter place and along the Southside Railroad, belonging to the Army of the Potomac. When these troops were relieved by troops from the Army of the James, I was left in Petersburg awaiting orders. I then addressed a letter (copy sent herewith), dated April ninth, to General Rawlins, Chief of Staff, soliciting an investigation. On the twenty-second April, I sent another, requesting permissi

t with you? General Miles has relieved General Griffin, and I find a vacant space on his left. To this I at once replied as follows: I send you a sketch of the country west of the Plank-road, and a copy of my communication to General Webb, as to my position. I cannot take up any regular line of battle on account of the woods and swamps, but have assembled each division at a point, so they can fight in any direction. I had a brigade of General Griffin's and a battery stationed at Stroud's, for support. I don't think your left could be turned (even if I moved away), without having full information. But as my troops now are, I could move Griffin right up on your flank along with my artillery. I shall work hard all day to get the road through the woods in order. At 8.55 A. M., I received the following from General Webb: Owing to the weather, no change will to-day be made in the present position of the troops. Three days rations of subsistence and forage will be b

ents was sent to General Humphreys early in their occurrence,and he sent General Miles' division to close the space between his left and General Griffin's right. One brigade of this, also, advanced to the attack of the enemy, but was at first driven back. At 1 P. M., I made the following report to General Webb: General Ayres made an advance with a small force at 10 A. M., which the enemy drove back and followed up in heavy force, compelling both Ayres and Crawford to fall back on Griffin, and, of course, in much confusion. Griffin's troops held the enemy at the Run west of the Plank-road. General Miles' division a brigade of it afterward attacked the enemy and were forced back on my right. My skirmish line in front of Griffin (most of it) has advanced on my left. I am going to send forward a brigade, supported by all I can get of Crawford's and Ayres' divisions, and attack, swinging on our right.

be seen that the rapid change of front by General Ayres, necessitated by the unexpected condition of things, unavoidably threw his flank temporarily in air. Had the line gradually swung round, by wheeling, General Crawford would have been on his right, but as it was, the change Lad the momentary effect to leave General Crawford en echelon, in rear of Ayres' right. It happened, also, that the right of General Ayres became exposed, too, to a fire from the enemy across the open field, around Sidney's. General Crawford's left encountered this same fire, as it came up on General Ayres' right, and the effect was to cause Crawford's line to oblique somewhat to the right to gain the cover of the woods and ridges, but it kept steadily moving on in the enemy's rear — a threatening movement which made the position of the enemy no longer tenable, assailed as he was both in front and flank besides. I will now extract from General Crawford's report. After giving a copy of the order to attack
