WRrTW IHK, fer sal?, at this cAce march *) The Fan of Richmond. y .A correspondent of the Carolinian writes a? follows, Oadeir date of Danville, Va.* April ?: Grant commenced his grand movement as early aa Tuesday, the 28th. He fort oarliaes at different localities along their entire, length. Hence Gen. Lee jr as compelled so to distribute his forces ss to be prepared to repel the princi? pal aseanlt with thc least possible delay. . On tue Tuesday in question, the enemy ad? vanced on the South aide to within one mil* of* the Boykin Plank Road; threw up entrench? ments and built a large fort in. the' vicinity of the Lewis House. eDurin-g the night, his skir? mishers pushed forward a few hundred yards further. Wednesday, we fought thia oolam* 'with varying suceass, and night dt*ooped eu a druwar battle. At Hatcher's Rori, dd ring tho afternoon, ? there was also heavy Sighting, ia which the enemy lost heavily. Thursday, heavy skirmishing and movement of troops. Friday, the 'efforts- were resumed, shd with greater determination. The Federal cavalry swept around our works'towards the railroads, but-were mot by Gen. Fitz Tee and repulsed. The Yankee infantry, upwards of 40,000 strong, were massed near Burgess* Mi ll, and here battle was joined in -earnest. The enemy gained no substantial advantage, and goffered 'greatly. .Wo captared~betw*en -five and six hundred prison? ers. On -Saturday and Sunday, the fighting was fearful. Our entrenchm. nts. in many place?, .were held bv a thin line only, hut this stood nord y to its post throughout- Saturday. On "Sunday, however, Giant resumed his old vooation of "Butcber." i&Finding that he could make little er no impression iii the ordinary way. he massed his troops several columns deep against a portion ot the line on the right, and thea driving-them relentlessly forward, succeeded at last, after frightful sacrifice of life, in obtaining possession of a section of tb? works, lt waa not in the power ef aov men, however brave, to have withstood these des? perate assaults without greater support.. Lsag strest had not yet come up, although hurrying from another part of the field. Meanwhile, th? Federals were rolling forward and recoding like wave?-those behind impelling those be? fore-until*a lodgment was effected, the worki mounted, a flanking position and enfilade fir? secured, and lb? battle substantially-vron. . Our grape and canister mowed the en ?ni j down by hundreds, our rifles told with onerr lng precision, and the gronud Va? literally carpeted with the dead and wounded; bal sheer physical hru.e felice proved at last supe rior te everything elsa, anesthe defences won taken.
