e obstacles that presented themselves, was deemed impracticable, and General Gordon gave the command to retire. Not whipped — not even once repulsed — our brave men, who had taken the enemy's strong works and themselves repulsed all attempts at recapture, commenced falling back. Up to this moment they had lost nothing, but gained everything. The enemy now opened every gun that could be brought to bear upon our troops, and subjected them to a rain of iron before which the experiences of Malvern Hill and Gettysburg are said by veterans to pale almost into insignificance. It was painfully distinct in this city, where our very dwellings were shaken to their foundations. Our troops retired through this trying ordeal in commendable order, leaving several of their gallant comrades behind, and reached their original lines between eight and nine o'clock. The Yankees pursued no further than their own works. Five hundred and seven prisoners, all belonging to the Ninth corps, were brough

hundred and seven prisoners, all belonging to the Ninth corps, were brought off early in the morning.--Among them was Brigadier-General McLaughlin and numerous commissioned officers. Nine pieces of artillery and eight mortars were captured. The former were spiked and dismounted. Three fine brass mortars we brought off. Among the casualties is the following partial list of officers: Brigadier-General William Terry, painfully in both thighs; Brigadier-General Phil. Cook, of Georgia, arm broken; General Gordon, very slight in leg; Colonel Casey, Fifty-eighth Virginia regiment, Pegram's brigade, captured; Colonel J. H. Baker, commanding Evans's brigade, wounded slightly; Lieutenant-Colonel Tate, Sixth North Carolina, badly in face; Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, Fifty-seventh North Carolina, severe in arm; Major Bell, Twenty-first North Carolina, hand, slight; Captain Nicholson, adjutant-general to General Johnston, killed; Captain Ridd, commanding Thirteenth Georgia regimen

d, commanding Thirteenth Georgia regiment, killed. Adjutant Clayton, Twelfth Georgia battalion, killed. Brigadier-General Johnston accidentally sprained an ankle while leaping the enemy's works. Our loss will reach several hundred. Of the enemy's loss, we are unable to form an estimate, but it was, no doubt, severe, as they were repulsed in two heavy charges. An officer of some distinction was shot from his horse while endeavoring to rally his men. He is believed to have been General Warren, now commanding the Ninth corps. This movement was well conceived and admirably executed. The commanding officers bear unanimous testimony to the gallant action of the troops engaged, and award them the highest praise. General Gordon's sharpshooters are very highly spoken of. About 11 o'clock, a flag of truce was sent across to the enemy, proposing a cessation of hostilities for the purpose of removing the dead and wounded, which was readily acceded to. Our dead and wounded were

Particulars of the fight at Petersburg, Saturday. Our correspondent at Petersburg, yesterday, gave some of the particulars of the fight at Petersburg, Saturday. It appears that a reconnaissance in force was made of the enemy's position near the river on Saturday morning at an early hour, which was brilliantly executed as far as it went, but was, unfortunately, attended with some little loss. Our troops were massed to the left of Colquitt's salient, in front of the enemy's works on Hare's farm, whence, preceded by General Gordon's corps of sharpshooters, a silent but rapid advance was made. The sharpshooters were notified of the duties expected of them, and perfect quiet imposed upon their movements. The assault was intended to be a surprise to the enemy; and such, indeed, it proved to be. The Petersburg Express has the following particulars of the affair: About 4 o'clock, everything being in readiness, the corps of sharpshooters, about two hundred and fifty strong, left
