BERMUDA HUNDRED, VA.,
June 14, 1864 - 1.30 p. m.
Our forces will commence crossing the James to-day. The enemy shows no sings yet of having brought troops to the south side of Richmond. I will have Petersburg secured, if possible, before they get there in much force. Our movement from Cold Harbor to the James River has been made with great celerity and so far without loss of accident.
