the rear with my division. Before my command could get on the road Wilson's lines were broken by two brigades of Hampton's cavalry under General M. C. Butler, and I decided to retreat on a different line with my command. Keeping in the timbered region to the south-east, we were soon out of the enemy's range, and then changed direction to the north-east, and by 9 P. M. went into camp within the lines of the Army of the Potomac. General Wilson retreated by Jarrett's Station and came in at Cabin Point on the James, several days after. The successful destruction of the Danville road was quite equaled by our retreat after being almost completely surrounded. The loss of the division in this remarkable raid was about five hundred in killed, wounded, and missing, quite one-fourth of the command. The official table prepared in the War Department shows the loss of the division from June 15th to 30th, inclusive, to have been 48 killed, 153 wounded, and 429 captured or missing = 630. In h

is return. The old Third division still lives, and will yet trouble the rebels. General Lee, in his violent rage, swore that not one should escape. The guns and wagons we can well afford to lose, in consideration of the irreparable damage done their roads. The cavalry of the Third division, with whom I have conversed, present a sorry picture. They are dusty and almost worn out by twelve days incessant marching and vigils, during which they have marched over three hundred and fifty miles. Finding it impossible to cut through the rebel lines at Reams' station, and no help coming from the vicinity of Petersburg, General Wilson ordered his command to retreat, under cover of night, toward Suffolk. Having crossed Nottoway river about thirty miles below Petersburg, they struck for the railroad and crossed at Jarrett's station, and bearing southward, crossed the Blackwater at the county road bridge, and came into our lines at Cabin Point, five miles south-east of Fort Powhatan.

Depredations on James River. A letter to the Petersburg Express, dated Cabin Point, Surry county, July 28th,says: Last night a small Yankee steam tug, carrying one gun, ventured up the peaceful waters of the upper Chip Oak Creek and carried off a lighter heavily laden with wood, which was lying at White House wharf. The lighter belonged to Captain Myers. They also stole a fine schooner belonging to Major Wm. Allen, of Claremont. The schooner was in charge or Captain Cropper. It is supposed that the Lincoln thieves were piloted up the creek by Captain B. F. Fowlkes, who formerly resided near Cabin Point, and ran a vessel up the creek during two years or more. The waters about Berkeley, I hear, are crowded with Federal transports, all of which could be easily reached by heavy guns on the south bank of James river. Is there another nation in the world which would allow a hostile fleet to float undisturbed in its very centre, when it could be so easily scattered if

ss is trifling. G. T. Beauregard. It is thus that our gallant commander on the Southside continues to harass and annoy the enemy in his entrenchments. There was a brisk cannonade for an hour and-a-half, commencing about two o'clock on Wednesday morning, to which the gunboats, as usual, responded. A negro raiding party is engaged in depredating upon the property and burning the buildings of citizens of Prince George, and it is stated that a negro force is encamped near Cabin Point, in Surry. In the first named county they have destroyed the mills and barns of Mr. Fred. Temple, and the dwelling of Mr. James Temple. It is also reported that the buildings on Cook's and Catlin's farms were burnt. The raiders on Wednesday evening advanced a short distance in the direction of Petersburg, but were met and driven back to their entrenchments by a portion of Dearing's cavalry. From Gen. Johnston's army. In the following official dispatch, received yesterday, Gen

Hampton's raid — the location of Sycamore Church--Repulse of Gregg. Petersburg, September 18. --Hampton surprised and routed the Yankees at Sycamore Church on Friday morning at daylight, capturing two thousand five hundred head of cattle, three hundred prisoners, a large number of horses, and ten wagons. Sycamore Church is in Prince George county, about five miles east by south of the courthouse, on the stage road leading to Cabin Point. Gregg's division of Yankee cavalry tried to intercept Hampton on his return, when crossing the Jerusalem plankroad, but was repulsed with ease.
