brigade of Yankee cavalry is encamped at Wyatt's crossing, two miles north of Reams's, and foraging parties are sent out daily. On Tuesday, seven men, who were out on one of these expeditions, were captured by the Ninth Virginia cavalry. Hancock bids fair to outstrip all his coadjutors in the accomplishment of lying. In his official report of the battle on Thursday, while he admits a defeat, he puts down his loss at twelve to fifteen hundred! Now, we know that over two thousand prisont it took the. Yankee details, under flag of truce, two days to complete the burial of their dead. Their losses on that occasion certainly number several thousand; but exactly how many we shall probably never know.

Northern News. Petersburg, August 31. --The Washington Chronicle of Tuesday is received. Stanton telegraphs to Dix that, on Thursday, 25th, General Hancock, who was south of Reams's station, was attacked several times during the day, but repulsed the enemy in every assault. At half- past 5 P. M. a combined attack was made on his centre and left, which, after one of the most desperate battles of the war, resulted in the enemy withdrawing from the field, leaving their dead and wounded on the ground. Hancock, in his report, says, at dark we withdrew for reasons stated. He says his chief of artillery lost two hundred and fifty horses. He also says the rebels hold some of our guns with their skirmish line. He says his loss will, perhaps, reach twelve hundred or fifteen hundred, though this is a promise. He says this is acknowledged to have been the most desperate fight of the war, resembling Spotsylvania in character, though the numbers engaged were of less importance
