Brandy Branch (Florida, United States) (search for this): article 1
Everything is quiet on the north side of James river, below Richmond. There are but few Yankees on this side of the river, and they occupy ground between Curle's Neck and Deep Bottom. We have at length heard from Sheridan through late Yankee papers. It appears that he crossed the James at Deep Bottom, a few days ago, with two divisions of his cavalry corps, and took position to observe the approach of the rebels. Affairs in Florida. A fight took place recently at Brandy Branch, in Florida. The enemy burnt a bridge over St. Mary's river, six miles above Baldwin, and a fight occurred the same day between the enemy and our troops, under Major G. W. Scott, commanding a battalion. The result is not known. The next day the second Florida cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel McCormick, engaged the enemy at Brandy Branch, and at last accounts the fight was still progressing.

General Patton Anderson has been relieved from his command in Florida and ordered to the army of Tennessee. General John K. Jackson has assumed command of the Florida department, and has arrived at headquarters. We are gratified to learn that our forces in Florida are sufficient to repel any attack the enemy may make. The present advance is supposed to be nothing more than a raid in order to destroy bridges and other prope

Over two hundred and fifty houses in the heart of the town were consumed, with their contents, no time being given to the citizens to remove their furniture or other property. General Averill overtook the raiders beyond Connellsville, and, it is reported, "whipped them handsomely."

We have received the following interesting summary of news, compiled chiefly from the Baltimore American, of the 2d instant: From Petersburg. The Intelligence from General Grant is highly important. The assault on the rebel works at Petersburg, for which preparations have so long been in progress, was commenced in earnest Saturday morning. At daylight, the mine constructed under the rebel fort in front of the Ninth corps was sprung. The effect of the explosion is described as terrific, and the sight magnificent in the extreme. The entire work, a very strong one, mounting sixteen guns, was blown into the air and rendered a mass of rules. Immediately after the explosion an assault was made on the rebel works by the Ninth and Eighteenth corps, the Fifth corps being held in reserve. The assault was successful in carrying the entire front line of the enemy's works and the capture of many prisoners. Our lost was, of course, heavy, from the character of the work done.

They entered Chambersburg on Friday morning.--Their number was estimated at forty thousand; but there is no reason to suppose the forces to be other than McCaussland's command. Only about five hundred entered Chambersburg. McCausland presented a requisition, signed by General Jubal Early, demanding the payment of $500,000.
