He said also that Kershaw's division was already under orders to Petersburg, and the corps headquarters and artillery to follow Kershaw's division into Petersburg. Kershaw arrived there Kershaw arrived there about 7.30 A. M.; the rest of us about nine. We must now return to Smith's column, which we saw start to Pethour to assault with a strong column. By that time Kershaw's division had relieved Johnson's, taking its place Field's division took position in the trenches on Kershaw's left, but it did not become engaged.

anced position. It happened that Lee had noted activity of the enemy in that quarter. Wilcox's division was already at Drury's Bluff, and, on the 24th, it and Kershaw's division were sent to reenforce Conner. This force made such a show that Hancock, finding it there before him, did not deem it wise to assault their line. On their left, Kershaw even advanced against Sheridan's cavalry and forced it to retreat. It took a position behind a ridge, where it dismounted a considerable force armed with the Spencer magazine carbines. Kershaw unwisely attempted a charge and was quickly repulsed, losing 250 prisoners and two colors.

On hearing of Hancock's crossing on the morning of the 27th, and that prisoners had been captured from the 2d, 10th, and 18th corps, Lee immediately sent over W. H. F. Lee's division of cavalry and Heth's infantry of Hill's corps. Later in the day, he arranged to have Field's division of infantry withdrawn from his trenches at dark, to follow during the

This left only Kershaw's division and the local troops to hold Richmond, but Weitzel's force had already been so reduced that no aggressive idea was left him. Had he known of the withdrWhile the 2d corps had closely pressed the rear of the column all day, the cavalry and the 6th corps had struck its flank under Ewell at Sailor's Creek. Besides Kershaw's division, this force comprised no veteran soldiers, but the employees of the departments under Custis Lee, the marines and sailors of our little fleet under Admn and with him came fuller news of the battle at Sailor's Creek in which Anderson was also involved. Our loss had been about 8000 men, with six generals— Ewell, Kershaw, Custis Lee, Dubose, Hunton, and Corse—all captured. One notable affair had taken place on this date, between a small force under Gen. Read, sent ahead by Ord
