tho eaemyz works, and the two regiments men
toned both belonging to the Third Brigade carried
the lst OF the fosticaiIons by storm, dashing for
ward CALAMITY and tmpetuously In the face Of
murdeFous are, and capturing seven pieces OF ar-
tilIery.
The right of the line Of fortiicatIons was still,
held by the enemv, aud the glorious duty OF as
sailing that point was assigned to the lGlst New
York and 5th Maine, Of the ID brigade, and faith
fully did they perform that duty. The 49th and
18Th Pennsylvania came up In the meantime, and
supported the already victorious boys Of tue III
brigade, while the ad brigade wa. 6urIins the
en.my from what he deemed his impregaable po-
sItiOn.
The enemy made several unsuccessful attempts
to retake the works, during which te right Of the
the rebels 70 escape by crossing the river, we
held the rnnge OF their single bridge, though few
mounted men managed to dash over through gall
ing fire, among them Gen. Early 1t IL said.
The i2lst New York and the 5th Maine took $50
prisoners In one squad, the former regiment, at
different times during the engagement, capturing
6e3 and the 5th Maine $50 prisoners. The I'd bril-
gade also captured battle flags, 1,l7s stand Of
arms, and the Adjutanf's desk Of the 9Th I.ouisi-
ana, with all the books and papers relating that
regiment.
Among the prisoners captured were six colonies,
two OF whom, commanding briyades, declared to
Gen. SedsWick that they were well assured OF
the strength of their position tlat they were conf

suit shows that they did not co ecty estimate the
bravery Of our soldiers, since then works were
carried by only four regiments, who, In skirmish
line, charged on the enemy in his line OF battle,
under the protection Of hts rife pits. Sergeant
Roberts, Of the 9Th Maine captured rebel battle
nag That regiment suffered very severely, losing
In killed and wounded II out Of its y officers who
went Into action, ond tw0i thirds Of Its enlisted
men, The regiments actually engaged In the cap
ture of the prisoners went into battle with only
about 900 men, and the excess Of the prisoners
above their own numbers Is therefore very large
the iirst brigade OF Gen. Wrigia's division was
uOi In the action.
DIR. Bland, surgeon Of the Ninety sixth Penn
sytvania regiment, went down this evening on the
4;l9 train, with two hundred and fifty wounded
men of the Sixth corps, and about thirty-fiye
wounded men OF the Fifth corps.
Thr rebel loss in killed and wounded equals if II

The prisoners who left Warenton Junction for
Washington this evening occupied fifty ears, and
they appeared to rejoice rather than grieve their
captivity: Perhaps the prospect of!hree square
meals daily ba0ys up their spirits. They are not
clad 10 meet the approaching cold
weather, and did not go into action with their
blankets, if They had any. Some Of them had
boots, some leather shoes, some c .nyas shoes
and some no shoes. The hest looking pants among
