ROCHESTER, N. Y., APRIL 15, 1865. 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
THE BATTLES BEFORE PETERSBURG. 
From the voluminous accounts of the late 
brilliant achievements of our armies in the 
Vicinity of Petersburg, wc give as full details 
as the space allotted lo (he news department 
permits. It appears that our army first made a 
movement on Wednesday, t,hc29tli ult., and that 
skirmishing soon commenced in different parts 
of the extended lines of the Armies of the James 
and Potomac, and continued during Thursday, 
especially with the forces directly under the 
command of Ccn. Sheridan. On Friday, Gen. 
8hcridan’s command with Gen. Warren's corps, 
(the 5th,) had a severe encounter with the rebels 
in the neighborhood of Dinwiddle Court House, 
in which our troops lost 2,000 men, though the 
enemy were driven from the field. Sheridan 
and Warren immediately intrenched their posi¬ 
tions. The cavalry command of General Sheri¬ 
dan was divided into two corps, one under the 
command of Gen. Custar, and the other under 
Gen. Devin. There were two other large bodies 
of cavalry which were not directly under Gen. 
Sheridan during the fight of Friday, as well a6 
Warren’s 5th corps, which created confusion. 
Gen. Grant, not being satisfied with the opera¬ 
tions, gave Sheridan, Friday night, the entire 
command of Warren’s corps and all the cavalry. 
At daybreak on Saturday morning, Sheridan 
fired four guns us the sigual lo begin the day’s 
work, and immediately thereafter the cavalry 
began to move The rebels were soon attacked 
in their intrcnchmcnts first with cavalry, and 
then with infantry. The scene is described as 
perfectly awful at times. Many charges with 
the bayonet were made, and each army, during 
the whole day, appeared to realize the important 
results which a victory or defeat would bring. 
The rebels fought like fiends — as though Rich¬ 
mond must fall in case of defeat—as though 
they were the pillars upon which rested the last 
arch of the crumbling and tottering “Confeder¬ 
acy.” More than thirty thousand men were 
surging to and fro — on horseback, on foot — in 
and out of the intrcnchmcnts — in hand to hand 
struggles with bayonet and saber, and then with 
the unerring rifle at long and short, range. 
By astratagy of Sherman, a large body of rebels, 
toward evening, were flanked, driven like a (lock of 
sheep into a large barn door—surrounded on all 
sides by impregnable walls except at the place ol' 
entrance. And here, the door was soon closed 
by several thousand infantry, who charged like 
a descending avalanche into the very faces of 
the astonished rebels, — they had been entrap¬ 
ped,— they must surrender or light to the death! 
At seven o’clock the rebels came to the con¬ 
clusion that they were whipped or soon would 
be. They had been so busily engaged that they 
were a long time finding out how desperate 
were their circumstances ; but now, wearied 
with persistent assaults In front, they fell hack 
to the left only to sec four close lines of battle 
waiting to drive them across the field, decimated. 
At the right, the horsemen charged them in their 
vain attempt to “fight out,” and in the rear, 
straggling foot and cavalry began to assemble; 
slant, fire, cross fire and direct fire, by file aud 
volley, rolled In perpetually, cutting down their 
bravest officers and strewing the fields with 
bleeding men; groans resounded in the Inter 
vals of exploding powder, and to add to their 
terror and despair, their own artillery, captured 
from them, threw into their own ranks, from its 
old position, ungrateful grape and canister, 
enfilading their breastworks, whizzing and pi ung 
ing by air-line aud ricochet, and at last, bodies of 
cavalry fairly mounted their IntrenchmenU and 
charged down the parapet, slashing and (rump¬ 
ling them, and producing iuoxt.rieable confusion. 
They had no commanders, at least no orders, 
and looked in vain for some guiding hand to 
lead them out of a toil into which they had 
fallen. A lew more volleys, a new aud Irresisti¬ 
ble charge, a shrill and warning command to 
die or surrender, and with a sullen and fearful 
impulse, five thousand muskets are flung upon 
the ground, and live thousand rebels arc Sher¬ 
idan ’b prisoners of war. 
In this fight the rebels must have lost, all 
told, not less than 10,000 men! Gen. Sheridan 
reports his owu loss at only 1,500 men. This 
includes killedj wounded aud missing. 
The Herald’s correspondent has the following 
account of operations on Sunday, in front of Pe¬ 
tersburg : 
At midnight, Saturday, Gen. Wilcox had or¬ 
ders to demonstrate on the right of the line so 
as to draw the rebels from the left preparatory 
to operations in that quarter. The next morn 
ing, Admiral Porter and all the artillery in the 
works on the right were also set at work. Wil¬ 
cox’s skirmish lino was advanced and tome sharp 
volleys of musketry were heard, indicating that 
they were at work. 
Amid the noise and emokc the skirmishers 
9 
pushed on, until reaching the outskirts of Pe¬ 
tersburg, when they met a heavy body of rebels 
advancing upon them. A brisk engagement fol¬ 
lowed, hut our numbers were so small that we 
were compelled to withdraw. Wilcox then got 
orders lo attack Fort Mahone on the loft. He 
massed a column for the purpose. 
While this was heingdonc, similar dispositions 
were making further to the left, and a system of 
cannon signals had been agreed upon to fix the 
moment for starting, that all might start simul¬ 
taneously. Owing to a mist which hung over 
the field, the preparations had been concealed 
from the enemy. 
At 4 o’clock the signal was given. The men 
advanced quietly and in perfect order, with fixed 
bayonets. They were accompanied by a detach¬ 
ment of heavy artillery, prepared to turn and 
work the enemy’s guns. 
Presently musketry was heard, and the rebel 
picket line was reached. Now ft heavy cheer, fol¬ 
lowed b,y ii roar of musketry. The cheering and 
musketry firing in taken up and run along to the 
lelt until it, is lost in the distance. 
Instantly the artillery on both sides is at work, 
and 200 big guns belch forth their thunder. But 
the work is quickly done. 
TTarriman of the 37th Wisconsin, acting Brig¬ 
adier, gives orders to “Charge bayonet, double 
quick—charge! ” and away the noble fellows went 
over breastworks, rillo pits, abaiis, clievaux de 
frieze and the parapet of the fort Into the main 
works, and the deed is accomplished. For one 
moment the thunder-struck rebels looked, and 
then took to flight, but our fellows were too 
quick for all of them, and captured 250. Nine 
guns were found in the fort and quickly trained 
and set at work annoying the rebel batteries. 
This, with tbe simultaneous operations further 
to the left, cut the rebel line in two, took from 
them a commanding position, and a large amount 
of valuable artillery. 
Scarcely were we quiet in possession of the 
first, when the rebels, having organized their 
forces and picked up some re-enforcements, came 
up with a determined effort to retake it. They 
made a most desperate assault, standing up man¬ 
fully against terrific discharges of grape and can¬ 
ister and withering volleys of musketry, but it. 
was to no purpose. 
Four times during the day did they attempt to 
retake this important position, hut were each 
time sent reeling back in disorder, losing heavily 
each time. 
It was in one of these assaults that the rebel 
Gen. A. P. nill lost his leg, seeking in person to 
lead his men up to the Work. He died soon after. 
Meantime the 6th and 24th corps, having broke 
through the rebel lincB in their front, were 
swinging arouud to their rear, and were coming 
down both upon their rear aud flanks. It was 
evident Petersburg was lost to the rebellion. 
The movements of the 6th corps were so rapid 
that Gen. Lee himself narrowly escaped cap¬ 
ture. As it was, his headquarters fell into our 
hands. 
The Tribune’s correspondent recounts the 
operations on our left. 
At 4:30 Sunday morning, the Gth corps lelt 
their lines to attack the enemy’s left centre. 
It moved in echelon so as to enable the corps 
to throw forward its left, and flank the works of 
the enemy one after another. Soon a battery of 
four guns opened upon the division, but by rapid 
charging of the first brigade Ib w T as immediately 
captured. 
The batteries of the enemy now opened from 
every point, but on went our gallant braves. 
The left soon reached some works in their 
front, and one by one they fell into our hands. 
At 1: 30 A. M., a grand picture of war presented 
Itself. The line of the corps with its left in ad¬ 
vance, was sweeping on towards two heavy forts. 
The rebels plied their guns vigorously, and shells 
burst thickly over our lines. On pushed the 
left division, until it struck the Southside Rail¬ 
road, and against the two forts sweeps the 2d 
division. 
Our artillery played upon the forts from com¬ 
manding positions incessantly, until our men 
were close up to them. Then a dash was made 
upon the works, hut it was repulsed. Again it 
was tried, and this time with success, but so res¬ 
olute were the rebels inside that some of them 
used the bayonet for a short time. 
As these works fell into our hands a loud 
Cheer rent, the air, aud the enemy were seen has¬ 
tily retiring to their second lino, which opened 
sharply in an effort to stay our advance. 
About this time Sheridan appeared on the 
field, and was received with loud cheers by the 
Ctli corps, who look up t,o him with great 
respect. At. this moment, too, our entire line 
was changing Us long front to the right, and 
slowly before it the broken line of the enemy 
was falling back upon the rear defenses. 
Against the line to which they fell buck a 
heavy force was now pitted, composed of 
parts of the 21th, 0th and 25th corps, and 
nearly all fresh troops. 
A lull took place when the force was ready to 
move, and it was plain that a distinct action was 
to be fought. Dusk stole over the scene, and 
the attack was deferred for the next day. 
While the above fighting was taking place, 
the 6th corps, and cavalry, under Gen. Sheridan, 
turned the right wing of the rebel army, taking 
from 4,000 to 6,000 prisoners. 
The 2d corps, connecting with the right of the 
5th, was also victorious, notwithstanding they 
had, perhaps, the roughest ground to fight over, 
and a brave and determined foe in the rebel 3d 
corps. 
Tbe line of defenses in front of the 9th corps 
was stronger than at any other point, it deliv¬ 
ered many assaults during the day and suffered 
severely. At night it found itself up close to 
the main line of defenses, hut unable to go 
further. The first division of the 10th corps 
aided the 9lh In several charges. 
The Herald’s correspondent says: —Through¬ 
out the early part of the night, operations were 
confined to skirmishing, but a few minutca ufter 
twelve o’clock (he rebels advanced, making a 
demonstration upon our center. It was of short 
duration, and easily repulsed. 
Then followed ft season of stillness, with orders 
for the strictest vigilance. The orders were 
that if the rebels started to go we were to fol¬ 
low after them, ami they did go at three o’clock, 
our skirmishers in pursuit, occupying their main 
line. Orders were then given for an immediate 
advance, and at four o'clock we were in Peters¬ 
burg. 
[The Mayor incl the troops ns they entered 
the city, and formally surrendered up the 
“keys” to the commanding officer.] 
The loss of the rebels in men from the com¬ 
mencement of the movement on the 29th ult., to 
the evacuation of Petersburg on the morning of 
the 3d inst., is computed at fully 40,000! — 25,000 
being prisoners! Gen. Grant, on (ho4th Inst., 
reported that his whole loss in the recent opera¬ 
tions, in killed, wounded and captured, would 
“not, probably, reach 7,000, of whom 1,500 to 
2,000 were captured, and many but slightly 
wounded.” 
TT1K EVACUATION Of RICHMOND. 
At about three o’clock A. M., on the third 
inst., it became evidcut to General Weltzel, In 
command of a portion of “the Army of the 
James,” ft few miles from Richmond, that the 
rebels had evacuated the city, and he telegraphed 
to Gen. Grant for ins!ructions. Gen. Grant was 
satisfied that the rebels had left the defenses, and 
authorized Gen. Weitzel to take possession of 
1 he town. Maj. Stevens of tbe4th Mass, cavalry, 
and lorty men, accompanied by Maj. Graves of 
the General's staff, were immediately scut on a 
tour of observation. Within two miles of Rich¬ 
mond they met a carriage, the driver of which 
was waving a while flag. The carriage contained 
the Mayor of Richmond and several other rebel 
dignitaries, who bowed in submission to the 
agents of “Uncle Sam,” and the Capital of 
Rebcldom ceased to be what it had been forfonr 
3 ears— the nest of the vilest and most ungrate¬ 
ful scoundrels that have existed since the days of 
Danlon ami Iioberspierre. 
The Arch Rebel, Jeff. Davis, lied the city at 
eight o’clock on Sunday evening —taking pas¬ 
sage on a train of ears, with his horses and car¬ 
riage on board, that he might make sure his 
escape in case of accident. Gen. Lee’s order for 
evacuation was first made known to the people 
of Richmond from the pulpits on Sunday after¬ 
noon— the great Chief himself being one of 
the listeners to the reading of theimportant doc¬ 
ument— who became agitated, arose aud left 
the church. 
When our troops entered the city (Maj. Ste¬ 
vens and his forty men) the business portion of 
it was found to be on fire, the torch having been 
applied by the rebels. One-third of the town 
was destroyed— low $10,000,000. 
About 500 pieces of artillery were left in the 
hands of (he Union army, (including the captures 
in and around Pjjprsburg,) besides an immense 
amount of oifm i/.ffiiilioris of war and public 
property. The tron-clads were blown up by the 
rebels, and the smaller war-vessels burned. 
THE PURSUIT OF GEN. LEE’S ARMY. 
ITS SURItENDRIt! 
AS soon aa it was known that the rebels had 
evacuated Richmond and Petersburg, General 
Grant dispatched several Corps in pursuit of 
the fugitives—the intrepid Sheridan leading the 
way. The country passed over by the defeated 
army gave evidence that a “Bull Run " disaster 
had overtaken it, and that by following up the 
victory with energy, utter annihilation of its 
remnant would be the crowning glory of the 
campaigns of the noble Armies of the Potomac 
and James. The only avenues of escape for the 
enemy were the Danville road, leading sout hwest 
from Richmond, and the Lynchburg road leading 
west ward from Petersburg, The two roads con¬ 
nect atBurksvillc, some 50 miles from Richmond. 
The rebels had been given little rest during their 
retreat to Burksvillc — losing severely in the 
continuous skirmishing, besides thousands by 
desertion. Near the intersection of the roads 
noted, Sheridan attacked the enemy in force on 
tbe Gth inst., and made great havoc — capturing 
several thousand prisoners, (among whom were 
Generals Ewell, Kershaw, Button, Case, Du 
Barry and Curtis Lee,) and ft large quantity of 
munitions. Gen. Sheridan telegraphed that he 
was satisfied that Lee would surrender. 
On (lie 7th Inst., Gen. Grant opened a corre¬ 
spondence with Gen. Lee. Gen. Grant said to 
Lee that the result of tbe past week most con¬ 
vince him that, further resistance to the Federal 
arms was useless; that there may be no further 
shedding of blood In the two armies, Gen. Grant 
called for the surrender of the rebel army known 
as that of Northern Virginia. 
General Lee at first did not regard further 
resistance entirely hopeless, but would ask 
of Gen. Grant the terms upon which he might 
surrender his army. A number of messages 
passed between the two commanders on the 8th 
IlEAUqUAUTKKS AllMV OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, > 
April 9 til, 1885 . $ 
Lieut.-General Grant, Commanding U. S. A.: - 
Genbral: — 1 have received your letter of this 
date, containing the terms of surrender of the 
Army of Northern Virginia, ns proposed by 
3on. As they are substantially the same as 
those expressed in 3'our letter Of thu 8th imtnnt, 
they arc accepted. I will proceed to designate 
the officer* to carry the stipulations into effect. 
Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, 
R. E. I-bb, General. 
We have not yet received the particulars of 
the surrender, neither of the whereabouts of Jeff. 
Davis and his government. 
The Secretary of War announces the surren¬ 
der, and orders a salute of 200 guns to be fired 
at the headquarters of every army in the United 
States, nnd also at all the arsenals and ports, and 
the Military Academy at West Point. 
DREADFUL CALAMITY AT SEA. 
One of the most heart rending disasters which 
has occurred for many years, took place on the 
31st, ult,, off’ Cape Hatteras, N. C. On Wednes¬ 
day, the 29th, the U. S. steam transport General 
Lyon sailed from Wilmington for Fortress Mon¬ 
roe, having on board 204 of the 56th Illinois regi¬ 
ment, who had served out their time, about 200 
paroled prisoners, and a considerable number of 
refugees, making a total of 550 persons. 
The Lyon proceeded as far as the bar, where 
she remained over night, and at 8 o’clock in the 
morning (the 8Qtb) proceeded on her wa3 T . Ev¬ 
erything appeared to work favorably until about 
10 o’clock on Friday morning, (the 3lst,) when 
the thrilliug cry of “ tire ” was sounded through¬ 
out the vessel. Women ran screaming on the 
flecks searching for their children or friends, 
while men were quite as appalled or frantic, and, 
in the language of one of the survivors, it seemed 
as if every ouo had suddenly become bereft of 
their senses, and the place soon became a very 
pandemonium. Soldiers who had been with 
Sherman through all his hard-fought battles, 
aud had never been known to falter in tbe thick¬ 
est, of the fight, became as helpless as little 
children. 
The lire was caused by the burning of a barrel 
of coal oil in the porter’s room. In less than 
five minutes the flames were belching out on 
deck, and with the assistance of a strong gale, 
spread very rapidly. The mate endeavored to 
get out the hose and set the pumps to work, 
but (he excitement was so great that but little 
progress could be made toward extinguishing 
the fire, and the attempt was abandoned. 
In the meantime the captain of the ship came 
up, and Ju the most frantic manner exclaimed, 
“She’s gone ! she’s gone!—there’s no use trying 
to save her!” A rush was then made for the 
three life-boats on board, which were soon 
launched, the captain springing into tbe first one 
that was lowered and pushed off with but one 
other person with him. The boat was soon 
struck by the wheel of the steamer, the captain 
Instantly kilted, and the person who was with 
him in the boat, (Capt. Weber, 50th III. reg.,) 
was drowned some time afterwards as ho was 
beiug rescued from the swamped boat to which 
he had clung. A few persons in the other boats 
were saved, us well as several who were picked 
up from planks nnd doors—in all numbering 
only twenty-nine! 
It Is related by the survivors that nearly four 
hundred person were below decks, and by some 
unaccountable oversight, were there imprisoned 
and burned—the ladders having been removed 
from the hatches! It makes one shudder to 
contemplate the scene! Five huudred and 
twenty-one persons were either burned or 
drowned, by this appalling calamity, in Icsb 
than two hours! 
We learn that both the army and navy tiro 
giving the rebels much trouble at Mobile, and 
the probabilities arc that when the great disaster 
to Davis and Lee is fully realized by the com¬ 
manders in that city, the "Inst ditch” will be 
crossed and safety sought by flight, or their 
arms stacked iu humble submission to General 
Can by and the Admiral of the Navy.
