Virginia (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 10
From General Lee's Army. Grant's forces across the river — the battle likely to take place at Mine Run — the Yankee strength. &c. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Norther Virginia, Thursday, May 5, 1864. The armies of Northern Virginia and of the Potomac are no longer in hybernis, with pickets walking dull and monotonous beats. Everything is life, animation, and activity, Burnside, after a long season of preparation, has quit Annapolis, and is once more about to essay the fortunes of war with the ill-fated Army of the Potomac. Hooker has also come to help Grant out of or into a difficulty, most probably the latter; and Grant, like the Irishman who was asked if he would take the woman to be his wedded wife, replied "Yes, and the niggers, too." For the first time in the history of the Army of the Potomac, one element of its weakness are the negro troops.

but this much I will say: that the vigilance and activity of Gen. Lee has been unremitting, and that everything has been done that is likely to insure success and victory. From present indications I think the enemy will head his column up the plank road. In this event it is quite probable that the fight will occur at or near Mine Run, a small stream, fourteen miles below Orange Court House and twenty-six above Fredericksburg. Ely's and Germanna, as I have stated, are fords on the Rapidan river — the former twenty five miles below Orange Court-House and fifteen miles above Fredericksburg. The latter ford is about equi distant from both Orange Court House and Fredericksburg, being about twenty miles from each. During Tuesday night the enemy withdrew their pickets on our immediate front, and during the day yesterday our cavalry penetrated to Culpeper Court House, which they found abandoned by the enemy.

On Monday the enemy struck tents in Culpeper and began to move towards Ely's and Germanna Fords, on the lower Rapidan' immediately above its junction with the Rappahannock. On Tuesday night the enemy succeeded in throwing across a force of cavalry and artillery, which on yesterday was advanced out towards Chancellorsville and further on towards Fredericksburg. --During the day of yesterday the enemy threw pontoons across the Rapidan at both Ely's and Germanna Fords, and during the entire day they were engaged in moving their forces over, consisting of infantry and artillery; and doubtless by this writing they have succeeded in putting over their whole force. During the day our cavalry annoyed and harassed them, but beyond this nothing of interest. It would be improper and premature at this writing
