1864. "Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "General Mahone line last night near Petersburg, and swept it for half a mile, capturing two hundred and thirty officers and men without the lost of a man. "The total number of prisoners captured on the 27th below Petersburg, according to General Hill's report, was seven hundred. R. E. Lee." It is reported by persons who came over from Petersburg last evening that most of the prisoners taken at this swoop say they are McClellan men; and as it is clear the Lincolnites do not intend to allow them to vote, they desired nothing more than an opportunity to surrender themselves. The prisoners also declare that a greater degree of disaffection now exists in the Yankee army than at any previous period of the war. This statement finds some confirmation in the bearing of the Yankee troops during the battle of last Thursday. We are assured by officers who were on the field that they never saw the Yankees behave with so li

The letters of our correspondent, in another column, give the particulars of the battle, including the handsome dash of Major-General Mahone, Sunday night.

It is not likely that this butcher would have retired from the ground without having shed a goodly quantity of Yankee blood. At one point, where General Butler's command fought them, fifty-three graves were found.

d, as usual, in little damage to our men. The battle of Thursday on the south side. There is no doubt that Grant, on Thursday last, made a serious and determined effort to reach the Southside railroad and establish his left there. He has on the south side three army corps--the Second, Fifth and Ninth. Of these corps, more than half of the troops were carried into the battle. Citizens of Dinwiddie, who have since come into our lines, say they saw six divisions of infantry, besides Gregg's cavalry, advance to the attack in the morning. The negroes were pushed forward, as usual but did not stand up to the work. They soon broke, and left the hottest of the fray to their white brothers-in-arms. It is a low estimate to put the enemy's lose in this battle, on this part of the field, at twenty-five hundred.

stove was allowed them, on which to bake their bread and fry their meat, and each man acted as his own cook. From the Valley. It was reported yesterday, without any foundation, that General Early had a fight and been beaten in the Valley. There was no truth in the report. There has been no fight in the Valley since last Tuesday, when General Lomax repulsed two heavy assaults of the enemy. Ninety prisoners, captured by General Lomax on that day, arrived in the city last evening. From Georgia. There is a rumor, that has the color of probability, that General Hood is making a dash for Nashville. If this be true, it will put a new aspect upon the Georgia campaign. A gentleman who came out of Atlantis on the 20th reports two thousand sick Yankee soldiers and about six thousand effective ones in that city. The garrison is studying the means of escape from Atlanta. Our cavalry surround the city, and a portion of them sleep in houses in the suburbs every night.
