Our captures of prisoners will foot up about sixteen hundred, including sixty commissioned officers, among them two Colonels and three aids to Gen. Barlow. It was also our good fortune to take and bring on the field about 3 inch rifle guns. These guns are sold to bravery fine pieces, and will be given by Major Gen. Mahone to Col. McIntosh's battalion, whose artillery assisted in this brilliant exploit. When I rode over the field last night I was told by the parties gathering small arms that they had picked up at that time some six or seven hundred, and would probably get about one thousand. Several stands of splendid colors also graced this victory. They were captured as follows. Two by the 61st Va, Col. Groner; two by the 11st Va, Col. Parham; one by Col of the 11th Ala; one by the 3d Ga. regiment, and one by the 2d

They suffered, however, quite severely in their efforts to retake their breastworks. Indeed, it may be confidently said that they were well punished and signally repulsed. The credit of this movement is due to Brig. Gen. Wm. Mahone. Upon calling at Gen. M's headquarters last night to learn t

The enemy were dislodged at the point of attack from three lines of fortifications, but they still hold a position inside of the ter fortifications of Petersburg. The most gratifying result of this fight was the fine effect which it seemed to have upon the people generally of this city. They seemed to have been literally born anew under the inspiration of Mahone's victory. Wilson, Kantz, and Spears are off on another raid. They struck the Weldon rail-raid about seven o'clock yesterday morning at Reams's Station, ten miles below here, and after tearing up the track and burning the water station, moved to Dinwiddie C.
