They revealed where Lee was, and
from them some estimate could also

near Amelia Court House, pending
near
the arrival of the Fifth Corp?. That j that the trains were east of Appo

up on the line over which I had
traveled.
tub i ioiir ok the i irnr.
On the afternoon and night of the
4th no attack was made by the en
emy upon the small force in his
front tho fifth corps ami three
divisions of cavalry and by the
morning of the 'Ah 1 began to believe
that lie would leave the main road if
he could and pass around mv left
Hank to Sailor's creek and Farm
ville. To watch this suspected
movement, early on the mcrning of
tho ."th 1 sent Davits' brigade of
j Crook's division uf ci'vairv to make
a recunnoisnnce in that direction.
The result vas an encounter bv
Davies with a large train of wagons,
under escort, moving in the direction
anticipated. The train was attacked
by him and about two hundred
wagons were burned, and live pieces
of artillery and a large number of
prisoners captured. In the afternoon
of April n. the main body of the
army of the Potomac came up. Gen.
Meade was unwehand reipi'-sted me
to put the troops in position, which
I did, in line of battle, facing the
enemy at Amelia Court House. I
thought it best to attack at once, but
this was not done. I then began to
be afraid the enemy would, in the
night, by a march to the right from
Amelia Court House, attempt to
pass our left flank and again put us
in the rear of his retreating columns.
L'nder this impression I ?nt to
General Grant tue following dis
patch :

Cayalhy Hf.adq'r, Jettsvillk,

I'. S. Grant, Commanding Armies of
the United States..; General : 1 send
you the .enclosodetttrj which will
give you an idea of the condition of
the enemy, and their whereabouts.
I sent Genera! Davits' brigade this
morning around on my left flank.
He captured at Faun s' Cross-roads
five pieces of artillery, about 'JtK)
weapons, and eight or nine battle
flags, and a number of prisoners.
The Second Army Corps is now
coming up." 1 wish you were here

ing the arm v of Northern Virginia
if we exert ourselves. I see noe?cape
for Lee. I will put all our cavalry
on our left tiank except Mackenzie,
whotis low nn the right.
P. II. Sheridan,
Major General.
On receipt of this he immediately
started for my headquarters at Jet
tersvi!l arriving there about 11
o'clock April ;"th. Next morning,
April the inf-.ntry of tin army aii
vanceil on Amelia Court House. It
was found before reaching it that the
enemy had turned our left Hank aud
taken another road to Sailor's Creek

General Ord came in, reporting the

Apnomattox Court House. As we
were approaching; the village a
heavy line of Confederate infantry
was seen advancing, and rapid firing
commenced. Riding to a slight ele
vation, where I could get a view of
the advancing enemy, I immediately
sent direction? to General Merritt
for Custer's and Devins' divisions to
slowly fall back, and, as they did so,
to withdraw to our right flank, thus
unmasking Ord's and Gibbons' in
fantry. Crook and Mackenzie, on
the extreme left, were ordered to
hold fast I then hastily galloped
back to give General Ord the benefit
of my information. No sooner had
the enemy's line of battle reached
the elevation from which my recon
noissance had been made, and from
whence could be distinctly seen
Ord's trooits in the distance, than he

How fast we are progressing in
this conn try finds a fitting illustra

of 1S.SO was taken we have built and
saml miles of railroad laid down be

the census is an example of the
speed with which we are. making
history.
There is a movement on foot in
Montana to establish a town some
where in the neighborhood of the
mouth of the Judith, to be called
Giantvi'le. The programme is to
secure 320 acres ot land, to divide
the same into town lots and streets,
establish laws and regulations al
lowing only "six-footers" to obtain
possession of any of the lots, and al
lowing no female thereon below the
standard of live feet eight. By this
means it is proposed to establish,
in dne course of time, a race of gi
ants. Another colored cadet experiment
is to be made at West Point. Of V1
persons who applied for admission
to the Academy, 37 were rejected.
Among these was an Ohio man from
the Oberiin district, whose alternate,
however, John H. Alexander, a
dark mulatto, "pas.-ed a mont cred
itable examination." A Wert Point
officer thinks the latest colored cadet
will get on very well and will have
no trouble with his white associates,
because '"the old feeling lias largely
died out.'' The- oibcer. pleasaiit
anticipations will be strengthened by
the report tbat the new cadet in
many respects is very different from
his predecessor, the celebrated Whit-aker.
