s — among the latter two Lieutenant Colonels. In all, 517 prisoners were captured, who were subsequently sent to Charlottesville; and the entire loss of the enemy is estimated at 1,500. The Yankees were much demoralized, and being without rations or forage, and their horses broken down, they could not be brought to face our men the third time. Many of the horses were rendered useless, and on the retreat a large number of the men were dismounted. Sheridan's force consisted of Wilson's and Gregg's divisions, (six brigades,) numbering in all some ten thousand men, with several pieces of artillery. Captured officers admit that it was their design to make a raid upon Gordonsville and Charlottesville, and destroy the public buildings and stores at those places, and form a junction with Crook and Averill.--Thanks to the gallantry of Hampton and his brave command, their nefarious purposes have been signally defeated.

Attack on Fort Clifton. Monday afternoon the enemy's gunboats came up the Appomattox and opened fire on Fort Clifton. They stood off out of sight at long range, and inflicted no damage whatever.

A number of flagrant outrages were committed in Amherst — some on the persons of females — the particulars of which are of too beastly a character to be recorded. The burning of the Military Institute and other property at Lexington is fully confirmed. --The residence of Ex-Gov. Letcher was also fired by the vandals, who would not even let his wife save her clothes. The residence of Gen. F. H.
