UatcbiTf mn is a swampy stream and mailt' a g'.wd barrier when defended at the forus. About tliirtfeii miiea west by south of Petersburg tliere Is a gooil road crossitiK ttie run and leading to the South Side railroad. This railroad has Lyurhlmrg and I'auville eoimec tions and was of highest Impurtauee to Lee In Petersburg. At Five Forks this road was defended from the Fwleral positions by IntreucliiuentK, and at Din widdle Court HoiiMe. nve miles south east, there were outposts and defense: to guard against a surprise at Five Forks. Sheridan and the rorps of Warren, Wright and Humphreys moved together toward the Federal left, and Lee sent out general It. H. Anderson with detached divisions to cope with tills strong foree. When OnernI Lee learneil of the presence of Sheridan on the Petersburg lines lie promptly concentrated all of his available cavalry to co-operate with Anderson and placed fietieral Fit. HugU Lee in comiiianu. Fit. Lee at the time was in front of Itlchniotnl with his own division and marched promptly to Five Forks. Karly on Mnnii :ti the t'oiifederate troopers with I,ee rode out toward llinwiddie Court Iloti.-e. which had been reached by Sheridan's ad vance. A sharp skirmish toak place. Late that day Fitz U-e was joined by the cavalry divisions of General T. L. Rosser and General W. H. F. Lee, mak ing a total of nearly (1,000 sabers In the corps. Lee retired lils troopers to Five Forks, where General George E. Pick ett, tbe hero of the famous charge nt Gettysburg, arrived about the ssme time with nearly 7.fxxt infantry. While Fitz Lee tood off the Federal adv. nice villi a cordon of sabers Pick ett Intrenched his Infantry on a line ex tending about a niile east and west re spectively of the Junction of Toads at Five Forks. The lines of cavalry ex tended still farther on each flank. Dur ing the 31st Sheridan's cavalry under the Immediate command of General Wesley Merritt pressed close to Pick ett's works on the direct front and en gaged In considerable sharp fighting. During the preliminary movements of the troops Sheridan bad visited Grant at the headquarters of the army and received instructions to take com mand of the Fifth army corps and drive the enemy from Five Forks. Gen eral Pickett's works at Five Forks were Ingeniously constructed to cover the forks of the roads and to protect nearly two miles of the White Oak road leading from Five Forks to Pe- M.h it was le's object to bad placed their best guns snd men in the angle as a forlorn hope. It was defended gallantly, but Wlntbrop's sol diers plunged through the heavy fire poured on tbem and carried the works. Winthrop fell mortally wounded, the last brigade commander killed In the Army of the Potomac. When General Pickett saw that his left flank had been broken by the Fifth corps he withdrew a brigade from the front line which faced the Federal cav alry, rallied the troops and guns driv en from the captured angle and prepar ed to make s stand for the defense of his rear, which was In danger. This new line was quickly smashed by. Warren's troops, asd the Confeder ates moved down the line toward the forks. . Meanwhile General Devln's division of Federal cavalry moved to the attack on Pickett's direct front at Five Forks. Two mounted brigades of Custer's di vision charged at the same time upon the line held by W. H. F. Lee's mount ed men. Custer delivered the attack with his usual dash, but Lee held his ground for a time. One of Levin's brigades broke over the Confederate works, capturing three guns of In gram's battalion, with two battlefiags and 1,000 prisoners. In the fight with Devln the gallant boy colonel, Willie Pegram, fired his last shot. He fell beside bis guns. Both General Pickett and Fitz Lee were absent from the front line when Warren sprung bis fierce attack upon the angle. Owing to the density of the woods no sound of battle reached tbem. A courier notified Pickett that the fight was on, and, galloping down the road, he barely passed tbe angle when War ren's leading brigade broke through. Flta Lee was cut off and waited Inac tive beyond natcher's mn until his defeated troopers Joined him. At tbo close of the battle Sheridan relieved Warren of his command for the reason, as he alleged, that Warren had been dilatory In making attack and did not exert himself to Inspire bis troops while they were In action, fiher ldan'a victory at Five Forks cut Lee's direct communlcatlona between Peters burg and Lynchburg, but tbe line from Richmond to Danville and Its Lynch burg connections remained Intact GEORGE L.
