Major-General WEITZEL:

Can you learn if there are signs of evacuating? Is your fire returned, or have you tried rebel batteries to-night? If not, try them.

Major-General WEITZEL,

Commanding:

The following report just received:

HEADQUARTERS FIRST BRIGADE, April 1, 1865.

There are fewer troops on our line than usual. Some of the camps that were inhabited yesterday are this morning deserted. The enemy would neither exchange papers nor give any information. They relieve their pickets at 9 o'clock; after they do so I will report what further information I can gain.

Major-General HARTSUFF,

General Grant says that Mahone's division is reported in his front, at Dabney's Mill. Do you know anything about it?

Major-General.

HATCHER'S FARM, April 1, 1865.

Major-General WEITZEL:

No change discoverable from signal tower, or by officer of the day. Certainly the same number of men on picket. It is impossible to learn more, except by an attack. Shall one be made? Will report anything further soon as known.

Major-General.
