this gallant little band retired with his face to the enemy, and at every feasible position maintained his ground, repulsing charge after charge, and finally discouraging the enemy to such a degree as to cause them to cease from the attack. Sheridan's Raiders, so signally defeated by General Hampton, were last heard from at Newtown, in King and Queen county, probably on their way to Gloucester Point or some other place of refuge. Six Yankees, composing the "rear"of Sheridan's party, paSheridan's party, passed Atlee's Station last evening, and were told that they had better hurry away. They replied that they were running from the d — d rebels now.--The citizens allowed them to pass on. Casualties in Hampton's cavalry.

From Lynchburg, his movements will remain a mystery for the present at least. Another account says that Sheridan was moving on Gordonsville, to destroy railroad communications in that direction, whilst General Kantz was similarly occupied on the Southside, the object being to prevent the movement of supplies and reinforcements.

Arrival of prisoners. --During Saturday and yesterday Yankee prisoners, captured mostly in straggling squads from the north side of James river, were constantly coming into the city under the escort of Confederate guard. The number booked at the Libby yesterday afternoon reached considerably over a hundred, and when we last visited that prison the officers attached thereto were hourly expecting an arrival of five hundred more, taken by Gen.
