In the meantime General Wilson, with the Third divi ein, had crossed the river at Germanna ford and started ‘upon a reconnoissance in the direction of Spottsytvania @oart House, At noon of the 6th we also marched in the irection of Spotsylvania, and when we arrived at Toda’s favern, which was the left flank of General Hancock's @orps, we encountered Genoral Wileon in full retreat with bis division, baving been driven back some @ve wiles by Fite Hugh Lee and handled gather roughly.

Through a misapprebenaion that Longstreet bad suc. ceeded in turning the rigbt wing of Genera] Hancock, and thereby exposing his Sank, we were ordered at three o’clock, of the 6th, to abandon our position and fatl back some four miles to Aldrich’s corner. The enemy at once cocupted the position we left, but did not attempt to annoy us in falling back. In the morning the error was @iacovered, and we were again ordered forward to occupy Our 01d position. ‘The enemy had done a}! in his power to streogthen his position during cur absence, and fought us witb great stubborness The First divishoo Daa the left, and the Second the right and centrey Both sides fought dis- mounted in consequence of tbe dense timber.

Here. also, the gallant Captain Joseph P Ash, of the Fifth United States, was killed. He died in the thickest of the fight, and is deeply lamented by all who knew bin. By night we had driven the enemy some four miles, and bad taken their first line of breastworks. ‘FH! ARTILLERY—THE CONSULTATION OF GENERALS AT TODD'S TAVERN. The artillery practice of Captain Martin’s Sixth New York Independent battery, as well as the other batteries the corps, was of the most brilliant character, Tne Sixth New York bas the reputation of being one of the best light borse batteries in the service. They certainly did great execution during the succession of fights in which we were engaged. The sections commanded by |ieots. Brown, Clark and Wilson, while First Sergt J.B Tilston is a host in himself, On the morning of Sunday, the Sth, the Fifth corps arrived in our front and marcbed toward Spotteylvavia Court House, while the Second corps relieved the cavalry. Many of our distinguished generals were in consultation at Todd’s tavern, including Generals Grant. Meade. Sberi- dav and others. It was now decided to send the cavairy corns to the rear of Lee. cut hie line of commuvication, destroy his supplies, and do him all the damage possible. For thie purpose we were quietly withdrawn op ¢! afternoon of Sunday, the 8th, and marched back to with: about eight miles of Fredericksburg, on the plank road. Her © we bivovacked and raade all the pri tion we could for the coming trying march. We had already been four days without mucb sleep and with very little to out.

Quite an amusing incident occurred in connection with thie charge. A section of the Sixth New York Indepen- dent battery was in the rear, supported by # squadron of the Sixth Onio.

Considerable commotion was created in the column for a few ininutes wheo it was aseertained that Fitz Hugh Lee, with two brigades, was in the rear of us.

General Custer found three long trains loaded with commissary stores, with two splendid engines, which he at once destroyed, together with a largo warebouse Milled with an immense quantity of flour, bacon and whiskey. It is said that not less than one million and a baif of rations were destroyed at this point. ‘They also thoroughly destroyed the railroad for miles, boroing the ties and bridges, bending the rails and damaging it in every conceivable manner. The road which passes here is the Virginia Central, running from Richmond to Gordonsville. THE WVOUAC—OUR CAMP SHRLUED. The Firet division bivouacked on the sonth side of the North Anna river, while the Second and Third were on the north side.
