and Clingman's brigades, of Hoke's division. Clingman's brigade was relieved by Ransom's brigade, of Johnson's division, this morning about 10 o'clok, and marched down the railroad. Prisoners state that the two mentioned are all the brigades of Hoke's division which have left their old position. They also state held that Clingman's Colquitt's, and Mahone's brigades made a charge on the left flank of the Fifth Corps this afternoon about 3 o'clock. Up to the time they were captured the enemy had only driven in or captured our skirmish line. They know of no troops having arrived from the north side of the Appomattox. One of the prisoners said he saw General D. H. Hill near the lead-works this morning; another prisoner thinks that he is on General Beauregard's staff.
