First Brigade, Third Division.

[February.]- Nothing of importance to relate during the month. The headquarters and troops occupy the same position as when the last report was forwarded, viz, in front of Petersburg, Va., near Warren's Station, Weldon railroad.

April 2.- In the morning this brigade was placed in position in three lines of battle, on the extreme left of the Sixth Corps, in front of Fort Welch, and distant from the enemy's picket-line about 150 yards. At 4,30 a. m. the entire corps charged the enemy's works and succeed in carrying them. This brigade on entering the works, wheeled to the left and charged down the enemy's lines toward Hatcher's Run, driving and capturing all before it. We captured 14 cannon, caissons, &c., and about 1,100 prisoners. We succeeded in reaching the South Side Railroad and held our position. This movement compelled the evacuation of Petersburg, and during the night the last of the army had left. The enemy were rapidly and closely pursued, and were met again near Destonsville, at Sailor's Creek. This brigade was again engaged, and, after a severe fight, succeeded in capturing nearly the entire force. The next morning [April 7] continued the pursuit and followed the enemy closely to near Clover Hill, where, on the afternoon of April 9, General Lee surrendered the entire Army of Northern Virginia.

April 27.- This place [Danville] we reached about midday, when we went into camp, and where we are at the present time. [April 30].
