General B, C, Ludlow did an exceedingly hamdsorut thing yesterday in ocoupying the rebel position opposite Dutoh Gap, Its eecapency, desirable and import- ant in order to the putting,@f the Sulshidg strokes upon the famed canal, The rebel pickets stationed there have for a lovg time past coostantly annoyed the soldier woflt- men on the canal,and it was deemed highly necessary to make an end of the anneyance. Accordingly at seven o’ologk yesterday morning, a body of colored infantry, coompanied by a section of artillery from Martin’s Fifth Uatted States, were quietly but effectively moved on to the left bank of the river going down. 1 should have re- marked that the infantry consisted of detachments from the Thirty-cixtb, One Hundred and Seventeenth and One. Hondreq and Fighteenth United’ States colored troops, ‘The infantry were moved across the river in ponteons, the artillery at the same moment keeping the rebel sberpshooters from firing upon the men launching the Doats, as well as the men about to be trans- ported, The beats upon being loaded pushed vigorously across the James, the troops soon landing on the right back. Upon effecting a Janding our forces at once captured and soatterea the rebel pickeis along tbat bank. This was kept up until the United States forces bad reach@d a point below the northern terminus of thecanal, where a rifle pit was throw up for protection against farther assault. The position now held by General Lud Jow on that side of the river isa streog one, and its suc. cessful possession is no mea corapliment to the spirit that animates this officer. The troops erossing the river, it a proper to state, were commanded, under General Ludlow, by Captain Hatlinger, of the Thirty.sixth United States colored tofantry. f0on after noon yeaterduy, the enemy’s mortar batteries, which have hitherto paid their exclusive attention to thecanel, opened with vigor upon General Ludlow’s position, eflecting no damage, however. Shortly before dusk on the evening of the Tth, the rebel rams moved down tos point nearer the Howlett House, evidently with a view of precautionary measures.
