I have the honor to report that the advance of this corps entered this place and received its surrender from the authorities at 9.45 this a. m. and that the corps is now going into camp about a mile south of the down. I will send further report this evening. The corps has marched from beyond Burkeville Station to this point, a distance of at least 100 miles, since last Sunday morning; is in good condition and ready for any movements that may be ordered, thought I should prefer that the men and animals be allowed on day's rest. General Sheridan was at Boydton at 8 p. m. yesterday.
