ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Aug. 21.-Our losses
In the fight at the Weldon railroad on Friday
afternoon were greater than heretofore re-
ported in this correspondence, the number we
lost in prisoners being now put down at hfteen
hundred.
It seems our troops were surprised, many Of
them being i'm their shelter tents at the time
irving to escape the heavy rain which had been
falling for several hours previously. The en-.
envy first appeared about noon on the right of
road in front of the Sd division, 5th corps, but
this was evidently feint, or for the purpose
OF feeling our lines
About p. m. they charged in heavy force
between the 9Th and 9th corps, and succeeded
In turning the flank of the former, capturing a
large number OF prisoners. This part of the
line was forced back some distance, when the
9th corps, which he'd been relieved the night
previous by part Of the I'd, came on the field
and opened fire, checking the enemy's advance
and taking few prisoners.
A heavy column at the same time charged on
the left OF our line west OF the railroad, held by
the Cd division (Gen. Ayres), which they broke,
prisoners of the regular brigade. This brigade
is commanded by Colonel Tor GeneraD Hays,
VINO Is believed to be prisoner, as he cannot
Our whole line was thus forced back with
heavy loss in killed and wounded. The enemy
suffered worse than we did, however, in this
held. Before dark our men were reformed,
and being reinforced, q desperate charge was
made to recover the lost ground, which was
successfully accomplished, so that we held
the line which had been taken from US in the
afternoon.
Col. Earle is reported prisoner, as is also
Col. Hartshorne.
Gen. Crawford was shot through the vest
and shirt and narrowly escaped capture 1t.
CLARK, of his staff was shot in the arm, while
Capt. Montieth, Lieuts Meade and Merrsfield
and Capt. Smith, also of Gen. Crawford's
stan, had their horses shot while carrying or
oers and rallylhg the men OF the various com.
mands. The last named was prisoner for a
escape
Captain Doolittle, of Col. Wheelock's staff,
was ordered to surrender, when getting angry
at an epitnet applied to him, seized q musket
and bayoneted the rebel to tree.
Colonel Wheelock's brigade of the Sd diyis-
Hon, was thanked. when they faced to the rear,
anu charged, and drove the rebels and took q
her OF prisoners. The entire number cap
tured waI about two hundred and thirty, with
some stands of colors.
Our loss is estimated at over three Thousand
Nothing but skirmishing took place along
the line yesterday, both parties being busy en-.
trenching themselves.
A battlei 5 looked for at any hour, as the
enemy seem determined to regain possession of
the road, while we are as determined to hold
1t.
The prisoners We took belong ipcipally to
Beauregard's and HIPS corps, and are fine.

style.

On on our left since four O'Clock this morning,
