hed here during the forenoon. He says he was aroused at early dawn Saturday by heavy cannonading, the sound appearing to be about six miles distant, in a northeasterly direction. He could hear occasional volleys of musketry, but they were very indistinct. The discharges of cannon were incessant, and could be heard distinctly by our informant. They commenced at day dawn, continued without intermission up to the hour our informant left, and were heard by him some time after he reached Bermuda Hundred, on this side of the river, and was far advanced on his route to Petersburg. Upon the reception of this information here, the impression prevailed that a heavy battle was raging, but up to the hour of the present waiting we have been unable to hear anything from it by way of Richmond. Its results would be likely to reach Richmond first, as the constant passage of gunboats up and down James river renders crossing exceedingly dangerous. The gentleman above referred to states, that

Winfield's Sussex cavalry arrived with a batch of five Yankee prisoners, taken near Hood's, in Prince George county. They were immediately conducted to headquarters at the Custom-House, and from thence to Petersburg Jail, where they are now confined. They give the following as their names: Benj. Luche, 1st Excelsior, Sickle's brigade. Samuelbeen reinforced at Berkeley, and that the transports seen there brought troops from Shield's division, who have been heretofore actively engaged in the Virginia Valley. Later in the day, Saturday, two other prisoners reached here from Prince George county, who gave their names as follows; G. L. Curtis, 5th Vermont; B. C. Basbauld, 49th New York. These men tell the same story about great dissatisfaction in the Yankee army, and a great disposition to desert, if the men could get off. They kn

In no other way can we account for this apparently reckless squandering of army valuables. The unusually long list ofenders crossing exceedingly dangerous.

We captured over 100 of the enemy, who had been left at ShirleShirley very badly wounded. Could a small force of Confederates have visited Shirley on Wednesday we would have secured five or six thousand of the vandals, who would probably have surrendered without resistance, as they were much discomfited and disorgaom the condition of several of the wounded now there, it is thought that many more will find-their last resting-place at Shirley.
