e boats were much crowded. Whether these were men whose terms of service had expired, or whose removal from Grant's army has been rendered necessary for operations elsewhere, it is impossible at present to say. The Petersburg train last evening brought over some twenty or more Yankee prisoners, captured in Dinwiddie. The great Wilson-Kantz raid. In the fight at Sappony Church from 500 to 700 prisoners were taken, which, without being sent to Petersburg, were started at once for Georgia. The losses of the enemy in the affairs beyond Petersburg, in prisoners alone, may be safely estimated at twelve hundred. We also captured many hundred small arms, and 60,000 rounds of ammunition. Two additional pieces of cannon have been found in the Nottoway river, making fifteen captured in all, which prisoners say is the sum total taken out by the enemy on the raid. It is stated, on the authority of a Confederate officer, that fully 3,000 horses fell into the hands of our troops.

The Baltimore Gazette, of the 29th of June, and other Northern papers of the same date, admit a reverse to Sherman, in North Georgia, and a loss of 2,000 in McPherson's and 500 in another corps. In its summary of war news the Gazette Says: On last Sunday week, at high noon, the correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from the headquarters of Gen Sherman, announced that before daylight on that Sabbath morning the Confederates. to the great astonishment of the Federal troops in front of them, abandoned their stronghold on Kennesaw Mountain, leaving behind them only their cavalry to cover their retreat. The entire army, we are told by this writer, started immediately in pursuit, and orders were at once given that the cars should proceed to Marietta, "which place," adds the writer, "we shall undoubtedly occupy to-night." Thus far the Tribune correspondent. Turning now to the Southern Telegrams, we learn that on the following day (the 20th) General Sherman

en. We captured about 100 prisoners, including Lieut Col John B Kerr, of the 74th Illinois; Capt H B Wakefield, of the 58th Indians, and Lieut J. H York, of the 63d Indians; two stand of colors--one presented to the 27th Illinois regiment by Brig Gen N B Buford. The woods where the enemy's dead and wounded are now lying are on fire, making it impossible to bring them off. Our loss, owing to our men being protected by breastworks, is very small on our right and centre. The 631 Georgia regiment, Col Gordon, Mercer's brigade, deployed as skirmishers, acted with great gallantry, held a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy until relieved. The troops engaged in the first-mentioned action were Maney's and Vaughan's brigades, Chestham's division, Polk and Loring's brigades, of Cleburne's division. Brig Gen Kimbal, commanding the 1st brigade, of the 2d division, and Howard, of the 4th army corps, are killed, or it is so reported by his own men taken prisoners. Wagone
