Petersburg, Va. (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 4
From Petersburg. [from our own correspondent.] Petersburg, Virginia, September 7, 1864. Since the terrible shelling to which the city was exposed last Monday night, matters have remained comparatively quiet along the lines. This morning, about sunrise, a party of Lane's North Carolina brigade, who were on picket in front of the Davis house, surprised, by a flank movement, the enemy's videttes, twelve in number, who were stationed near that point, and captured the last one of them. The enemy are evidently making preparations to winter here, and are strengthening their works daily. Grant has just issued the following as an offset to General Order No. 65. It is, however, having but little or no effect. I give it, however, as showing the straits to which he is reduced: Headq'rs Armies of the United States, "In the Field, Virginia, August 28th, 1864.

It shows that they rely for success very greatly on holding the Weldon road — miserable deception: "near Petersburg,"September 2, 1864, 7 A. M. "We have entered upon the fifth month of this terrible campaign. General Grant could not have supposed the obstacles first met after crossing the Rapid Ann would sey rally their forces for another deadly assault, and raise the price of flour two dollars a pound. Little more is required than to hold this situation firmly, and make it the base of other operations, similar to those which deprived them of the Weldon road.--This can be done; the soldiers are confident of their position, and feel competent to maintain it in the face of one-half of the rebel army.
