He expressed himself very well satisfied with the conduct of affairs thereat, and, to use his own language said that, "more lies had been told about the place than the North could ever atone for. It is the best conducted prison in the world." General Singleton will be sent North by flag of truce this morning. Yesterday, a large lot of blankets, boxes, etc., were delivered to the Federal prisoners confined in the city.

The fighting was principally with musketry; artillery, on both sides, being very little used at any time during the day. Further down on our left, General Smyth, with the Third brigade of General Hayes's division, advanced up Hatcher's run until he reached the Boydton plankroad, a bridge on which he found burning, the rebels having fired it.
