An official dispatch, received at the War Department Saturday morning, states that General Hill attacked the enemy's Fifth corps on Friday afternoon, at Dovis's house, three miles from Petersburg, on the Weldon railroad, defeated them and captured about twenty-seven hundred prisoners, including one brigadier-general and several field officers. The loss on our side is believed to be smaller than that of the enemy. Brigadier-General Clingman was wounded in the leg. Detailed accounts of this engagement will be found elsewhere.

The enemy were driven about three-quarters of a mile in front and back about two miles on the flank. Twenty-two hundred prisoners, including nine commissioned officers, were captured. Night ended the fight, which was a very considerable affair. The fight has not been resumed thus far to-day. The enemy still hold possession of the Weldon railroad. Our losses are not heavy. General Clingman was wounded. Major Lawson, of the Fity-ninth Virginia, was killed. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was unascertained.
