ey did fighting every foot of the way. We learn that our loss in killed, wounded and prisoners bears no comparison to that of the enemy, which was enormous. The Yankees at Varina yesterday claimed twenty-five hundred prisoners, which is about as much as our entire loss from all causes. From Petersburg. Nothing of interest occurred yesterday on the lines in front of Petersburg. The heavy firing from the enemy's batteries on, Wednesday morning was a salute in honor of the success of Sheridan in the Valley. They opened with shotted guns all along the lines from Deep Bottom to the Weldon railroad, and at the same time gave vent to their feelings in loud cheers. The city was shelled furiously for an hour or more, and our batteries replied with spirit. No casualties resulted from this action on the part of the brutal foe. Colonel John S. Mosby.

The unfortunate truce, into which General Hood seems to have been seduced by a mistaken humanity, afforded an opportunity for this operation. Shermas made them nearly impregnable. He trusts their defence to a comparatively small body of men, and he sends off the remainder to Grant, who uses them at Petersburg, or in the Valley, as the occasion may require. In the Valley, they have enabled Sheridan to strike this blow. At Petersburg; nothing has yet been attempted. But there can be no doubt that many of Sherman's troops have already arrived in Grant's camp, and many more are on their way.--The same plan which failed so signally last summ
