It is stated also that the enemy attempted Thursday morning, after the moon went down, to ascend Swift Creek in barg

ed would reach seven hundred or more. The number of our men captured by the enemy is estimated at one hundred and fifty. The terrific fire of cannon and musketry (says the Express of yesterday) which startled our citizens last evening about 7½ o'clock, was caused by an effort on the part of the Confederates to recapture battery No. 5, which was entirely successful, the enemy being driven at all points with the bayonet. This is a most important position, as it commands the high hill at Friend's farm, on the City Point road. It was this position which the enemy charged and captured from us at a late hour Wednesday evening. Among the causalities on Thursday were the following: Lieut. Col. Peyton Wise, 46th Virginia regiment, seriously wounded; Capt. George D. Wise, of Gen. Wise's staff, wounded; Col. J. K. Payne, 26th Virginia, killed, Lieut. Col. J. C. Councill, same regiment, wounded; Capt. John Cargill Pegram, of Gen. Matt., Ransom's staff, mortally wounded and since dead.

The prisoners, who number over four hundred belonged to the 4th brigade, 1st division, Hancock's 2d army corps. They say, they were fearfully cut up, losing a great many officers and men Gen. Barlow, of New York city, commanding division, was borne from the field, and supposed to be mortally wounded. Major Springstead, of Albany, a popular officer, was instantly killed. They further state that Burnside's and Hancock's corps are operating immediately around Petersburg, and that Baldy Smith is at Bermuda Hundred. None of the officers captured were of higher rank than Lieutenant Colonel.

immons, of Prince George, severely. As soon as regular troops could be brought up and placed in position the militia were relieved, and Gen. Bushrod Johnson's division occupied the breastworks, along with the Mouth (Ga.) Light Artillery and other batteries. The work grew quite hot as the day advanced, the enemy having massed two divisions or more in our front. Late in the afternoon a charge was made, but the enemy were most handsomely repulsed, chiefly by the 64th Georgia and Col. W. J. Clark's North Carolina regiment, of General brigade. In the last charge the enemy came within one hundred yards of our fortifications, but the fire was so terrific that they halted, broke, and retired in great confusion, seeking shelter in a ravine about one hundred yards distant. Here a large portion of a Yankee brigade, being exposed to an enfilading artillery fire from our guns, surrendered to the 64th Georgia regiment, Capt. Pritchard commanding.
