r'a The long looked for advance of the arm- *a' ve ies operating against Richmond has at last 8ei fft taken place. Yesterday the final prepara- *et da tions were completed by the withdrawal of *'^
the greater par: of the army of the Poto- be niao from trenches, and massing it on the u.81 ed rear ready for the move. The first division F1? ^a- of the 2d corps held the entire line from !nc th the Appomattox on the right to some three
miles west of the Weldon railroad on tbe ! $s: left. All tbe baggage wagons, etc., were ins ur sent to the rear at City Point. At 2 o'clock thi! ist this morning Hancock, with tho 2d and 3d ate he divisions of his corps, moved along the 9 Vaughn road running southward. After poi m: crossing Natbez Run he found ^the rebels or\ e- entrenched in newiy made works. He at ed n- once charged on tbe Sank and drove them ap of out and took 20. prisoners ^ mostly cavalry, pre he The 5th coipa took the Squirrel Level road of to and found the rebels posted at its junction wh ed with the Duncan road, which runs north 0111 1- from the Vaughn road to the Baynton road. an^ From this they were driven by our skir- it 1 mishers. with some loss, tho 1st division rar hiving abou: forty wounded. Tha 3d di- tai ho vision of this corps took the advance, and 1 ,s_ crossing Hatches Run, connected with the reb y- 2nd corps. In tho meantime Hancock ad- stv vanced along a by road, driving the rebels aio T before him, till ho reached the Baynton na; jm plunk road, where tho column halted and 30, ? formed in Hue of battle, tbe left reaching ' u. some distance west of the road, and thc Th be right extending to a thick woods- on the j hai right. The 6th corps bad also advr.nccd 1 sio through the woods two miles, but tbe left ant failed to connect with thc right of the 2nd era of corps.fjl'he rebels fell back while we ndvanc- acc k. ed until the line reached Natchez again, j ed n- wh> n tbe rebels were found behind strong | tio to entrenchments. Brisk firing ensued without j d. much loss on either side. At about 4 1 n- o'clock, p. ra., tho rebels taking advantage j sai he of the break in our line between the 2nd | Co nd and 5th corps, mussed And'-rson's division j inj ,g- of Hill's corps, and charged the right wing pel in of the corps, which gave way and fell Imek or jg a short distance, but being reinforced | po; I 7 charged and cheeked the advance of the j Th j'g robeisand captured a number of prisoners. ta} }n Our loss in the affair ia not known, but J w-^ it ia not believed to be heavy. A few min- j ny utes after the rebel cavalry, which had been I su; ps cut off on the Baynton road, made an attack j be ;o- on Gregg's division directly in the rear of! pa the 2nd corps, und for a time, quite a sharp j on skirmish was kept up. Gregg hnally drove wl them off. In a charge made on tne 2nd I es corps, two guns were said to be taken by j ha *^ the rebels, but it ia stated that they wore ; en n^ subsequently re-cupturcd. Fighting con- J tinned on this point of the line until after dark, when a heavy ruin ended the fighting n* cn for the dHV. , It
P8 Tho ytb*corps occupied the right of the ag PP advance, but did not gain much ground, j Dii Thc object was to allow the left to got fnir- }n* ly around on the Boynton Plank Road be- [m lore the right advanced.

tbe Sheridan's magnificent victory of tbe 19th ere instant, was such a crusher to tbe rebels >ck that Richmond editors arc making desper- 3d ate endeavors to believe it. :he The Enijxiirer in alluding to the turning ter point in tbe battle says : One of tbe most els Drillinnt victories of the war had beor wain- at ed by our troops, but in an evil hour, when em a po: tion cf our men were plundering the ry. property they had captured, a small force >a,d of Yaatee cavalry opened on our left Rack, ion when the plunderers took flight, aud thus rth our whole army waB thrown into a pmio id. and fled in a disorganized condition. Still ir- it argaes that this defeat is only a tempo- ion rary disaster, and no solid results are at- di- taincd by it for Sheridan. nd Disgraceful though it was for us, the the rebel cavalry especially are abased in id- strong terms for their conduct cn the or - 1- els aion. Ten thousand la given as the whole :on namberof Eurley's army in tbe battle, and nd 30,000 as Sheridan's number. ing Tho Tribune's Washington special says : the The authorities of the British provincea the i hare at length discovered that th^-ir acces^ sed 1 sion friends are troublesome euatomera, eft and are now as desirous as our own Gov- !nd eminent to get rid of them.
