This confirms the news before received of the summary "taking off" of Wilson's raiding party, and puts the number of prisoners about as high as any previous estimate. As the swamps and woods of Dinwiddie are known to abound with Yankees, separated from their main body, the captures will probably yet amount to an "entire brigade." But, after all, there is but little satisfaction in making prisoners of these men. Their keeping is expensive, and alearned in connection with the final event of Wilson's raiders at Stony Creek confirm the account given by our correspondent, and published in Saturday's paper. A repetition is, therefore, unnecessary. So severely were the Yankees punished in Dinwiddie that they will hardly venture upon a similar expedition again for some time to come.

Also, one representative of the Northern press, who gave the name of Ira B Van Gilden, reporter for the New York Times and Philadelphia Press. --Rather an abrupt termination to the career of a newspaper man, but it serves him right for being caught in such bad company.

A gentleman who was at Gen Lee's headquarters yesterday states that the enemy had advanced some portion of their line about one hundred yards, but at what point he did not exactly know. It is currently reported that the enemy have contracted their line by withdrawing their left from the Weldon railroad, and this has given rise to a conjecture that Grant is throwing a considerable force over to the north side of the James river. If this be so, the fact will soon develop itself. The impression is general that the enemy will make a heavy attack upon our lines to-day. This is predicated upon the supposition that Grant will essay to celebrate the 4th of July and the capitulation of Vicksburg by an attempt to capture Petersburg; but he will find the latter a somewhat harder road to travel than the one he walked over a year ago.

Secretary of War: Gen. Beauregard reports a feeble demonstration made by the enemy on a portion of Gen. Johnson's lines about 5 P. M., yesterday.

s supposed that Grant had anticipated his Fourth of July celebration by one day, and it was with some anxiety that a crowd awaited the arrival of the cars at the Petersburg depot. The train came in at half past 6 o'clock, and passengers were closely questioned as to the situation. The reply was, universally, that nothing unusual had occurred during the day. The firing in the morning was no more than the customary shelling, and that ceased entirely about midday.
