A division of the "a Corps advanced to the
Boydtown road over which the enemy wagon
their supplies to Petersburg. Two lines of works
were found unoccupied, a skirmsh line opposing
the advance, and falling back as our troops went
forward.
Near the Boydtown road very formidable line

were posted in heavy force. 1t was not deemed
advisable to attack them, aud they fell back and
occupied safe position. They lost bnt few
wounded in this advance.
Our loss on Friday was greater than at first
stated. The total in killed. wounded, and
prisoners will foot up not far from two thousand,
more than half Of whom are prisoners. This
occurred in consequence of a gap being left
betv cen part OF the 9th and 9th Corps, through
which the enemy charged and flanked the I'd

WASHINGTON, October 4.-Unoiicial advices
from the Army OF the Potomac, received this
morning, state that while no decisive battle Is in
progress, our army on the south side Of the James
is continually engaged lighting and reconnoi
Iing the cnemy's lines
General Meade's advance line was within two
miles of the Southside railroad; and his occupa-
tion OF this important Rebel line Of communica-
tion and supplies is considcredas foresone con
clusiOn.
This road IA our possession, the evacuation Of
Petersburg by the enemy must ensue, aud Rich
mond itself would eventually fall, as the Dan
VILE railroad would then be subject to the sue
cessfu ralding OF our cavalry.
While Meade is thus successful on the south
side Of the James, Biney is also in good fortune
on the north bank, as he advances cautiously
towards Richmond
General Grant Is stubbornly bent on a grand
plan, which his officers believe he viii carry out
most happily, and the results will be grander
than the most sanguine hope to announce.
