Hanover Court House (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
e probably intended as a blind to cover Grant's real purpose and destination. We have nothing further from Sheridan's gang of raiders, save a report, seemingly well authenticated, that they have crossed the Pamunkey at Piping Tree Ferry, and Stone to look for Grant. The pressure of Hampton's cavalry was more than they could stand, and the "most beneficial expedition of the war," alluded to by the Northern papers, has probably been given up. The enemy's abandoned fortifications in Hanover. When the enemy crossed the Pamunkey at Hanover Town and New Castle Ferry, it was supposed that they meditated an advance upon Richmond by the Meadow Bridges, and consequently fortifications were thrown up by our troops on the south of Potatomay creek, to intercept such a movement; but instead of that, they stretched their line in a southerly direction, their right wing reeling on the creek above named, and their left on Cold Harbour. A gentleman who has been over the ground occupied b

sburg — the movements near Lynchburg, &C. The only report we have to make from "the front" this morning is a confirmation of Grant's sudden charge of base to Westover, on James river, coupled with the additional fact that he has sent a portion of his troops to the White House, with the view of shipping them from that point to same place hereafter to be developed.--Westover is in Charles City county, about eight miles below City Point, on the north side of the river. It was formerly the residence of Col. Wm. Byrd, who figured conspicuously in Virginia in colonial times. --sharing the first revolution it was several times occupied by the British, in thely advanced to cover the movement of the main body, most of which, as far as I can learn, crossed the Chickahominy 34 Long Bridge and below, and James river, at Westover and Wilcox's Landing.

he enemy's operations indicate that a continuous wharf into the built the entire distance. These are nearly opposite Flour de Hundead in Prince George, and afford water of sufficient depth for vessels of the heaviest draft. Information has also been received that the enemy have had a large number of negroes busily employed for several days past in throwing up breast works to the west, facing Richmond. These works extend for a distance of four or five miles, and are a few miles east of Malvern Hill. They are probably intended as a blind to cover Grant's real purpose and destination. We have nothing further from Sheridan's gang of raiders, save a report, seemingly well authenticated, that they have crossed the Pamunkey at Piping Tree Ferry, and Stone to look for Grant.

the Union forces by hurling shot and shell from these batteries. Gen Taylor opposed the selling or raising of cotton, and declares that the transactions in it "makes more rascals on both sides than everything else." The rebel officers at Gen Taylor's headquarters were very jubilant at the reported victories of Gen Lee over Gen Grant, in Virginia, and drank the health of Gen Robert E Lee in copious libations of commissary whiskey, captured with Gen A L. Lee's cavalry train. Major General Franklin, having recovered from his wounds in the late Red river campaign, resumes his command of the Nineteenth Army Corps. The rebel guerrillas are quite troublesome to plantations. They seem to raid most heavily upon a plantation run by Mr. Henderson, formerly a Tribune correspondent.

The Bankrupt bill has been defeated, but motion made to reconsider. Only ten Democrat voted for the bill. Mr. Cropsey, correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has been expelled from Meade's army, for reflecting on the Commander in-Chief, "to the indignation of every newspaper man in Washington." The schooner Nancy Mills reports that a British steamer left St. George, Bermuda, on the night of the 4th instant, for Wellington, N. C.

They commenced the march about dawn that day. It says: It was three o'clock in the morning when the men began the march. When day dawned the rebels on the south side of the Chickahominy observed the moving column, and opened on it with two guns of very heavy calibre. Several men were injured while marching in the ranks. Col Hoffman's brigade, of the 4th division, immediately took possession of this side of the railroad bridge A barricade was thrown across the railroad about half a mile below this station.

d a majority of the New York delegation the assistance of the vote of Ohio for their full admittance to the Convention if they would stand by the Seward wing of New York delegation. This proposition was agreed to, hence the sequel of Presion King's motion to amend the report of his own committee giving these delegations the right to vote. On this point the Southern delegation and the nomination of Johnson for Vice President turned this was tire point that settled the whole affair.-- Mr. Chase may not relish the idea that the delegation from his own State was made an instrument to carry out this plan of Seward's friends, but such is the fact. The Seward men also promised to vote for the admittance of the Blair delegation from Missouri. Mr. King made his motion amending the report of his committee in that respect in accordance with that understanding. When this vote was being taken they saw that the lide was so strong against the Blair set that they were fearful that a vote

of six pieces, besides other cannon of heavy calibre. Over a $1,000,000 worth of stores fell into our hands. The amount of railroad property which we have destroyed and captured is large. We have taken a large number of prisoners. Some of them are mere boys, and one or two I saw were so young that they could hardly use a musket. Considering the extensive character of our combinations, and the important result we have attained, our loss is not large in either killed or wounded. Crook's column and Averill's command met with decided success. In one action which we had the enemy attempted a trick by trying to flank our left. In the end we tricked him, as we turned his left, and thereby brought about his defeat handsomely. Tachurn's brigade of infantry suffered the heaviest in killed and wounded. Two special messengers previously sent to the rear with dispatches for the Herald, were captured by Gilmer's and some of Mosby's men, who not only took their dispatc
