Further Deuails-0ur Loss Estimated
at 1900 800 Rebel Prisoners Cap
tured - The Army Back in its Old


HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE PoroNAc,
October 80.
Since the Army returned to its old
quarters, on Friday, nothing of impor-
tance has transpired. The rebel cavalry
followed our troops closely as they retired,
but were prevented from doing any dam.
age of importance. The only captures
they made at this time were some eight
or ten ambulances, which had taken a
wrong direction, but even these they could
rot get away. The horses were cut loose
and run off, and our men burned the
wagons. The rebel cavalry made repeat
ed attempts TO charge, but were each tine
repulsed with loss. Daring the day the
entire army reached the position oecu pied
by it previous to the movement beng
made, when the rebels at once withdrew,
and they also returned 10 their former
position.
Our losses will reach about iif cen hun
dred, as far as can be ascertained at pres
ent. The Second corps, which did most
of ihc fighting, lost ~ officers killed and
80 wounded. They also lost - men kill.
ed, 4SO wounded and about 400 missing
The Fifth corps lost about l30 altogether.
The Ninth corps lost upwards of l50,
mostly belonging 10 the colored division
Tho casualties in the cavalry division arc
not known precisely, but are thought to
be abou, 200. Many of those classed as
missing will undoubtedly return to camp,
as the number of stragglers was large, and
they are constantly coming in.
The loss of the enemy was severe, and
some say more than our own in killed and
wounded. We have S2S prisoners ard
four battle-flags, most of which we're taken
ty the Second corps. The highest praise
is given 10y all 10 the officers and men Of
the Second and Third divisions of the
Second corps for their behavior during
the day. Generals Egan and Mott, who
commanded them. and Generals Smyth
and Colonel McAlIister, commanding
brigades, are particularly praised for the
very able manner in which they handled
their men.
The charge made by the New Jersey
brigade, under Colonel McAllister, on the
enemy, who bad got in the rear of our
forces, was one of the finest ever witness
ei, and resulted in saving the entire posi-
ton
While Provost Marshal Black, Of the
Second division Of the Second corps, was
striving to force a gang of four stragglers
into the ranks, shell killed two OF them.
They were in the rear, but under hotter
fire and in much more dangerous locality
than that. occupied by their regiment in
the line of battle.
All is new quiet with the exception OF
picket firing, which is quite lively at night

enemy had any very strong works in this
direction, and that by taking them by sur.
prise, they could be easily driven into the
inner lines of Petersburg; but to the sur
prise OF all mot only were the enemy found
intrenched on both sides of the Boynton
plank road, but that they had strong
works on both sides OF the run, extending
several miles.
The Second corps. in their charge on
the plank road, drove the rebels from
their works on the south side of the run
and across the bridge of which they held
possession, until ordered to withdraw.
On the advance of the Fifth corps, they
moved on the south side of the run, and
the road being very crooked in this vicin
ity. by keeping close to it there was O gap
botweon lis left and the right of tho Sec
ond corps. The enemy took advantage
OF this, and massing in the woods, under
cover, made most determined assault on
the right of the Second division of the
Second eorps, evidently w.th the intention
Ct capturing the entire force on the right,
Their charge for very short time was a
success, but our men rallied charged in

thus taken here was about four hundred.
including many officers.
Meanwhile the Fifth corps had reached
the enemy's works on their front. and
become wholly engaged. The loss here
was not so heavy as in the Second corps.
Darkness approaching, and it being deem.
{ n Ill H.
with strong works in front, snd exposed
to tIapk attacks from cavalry, orders were
pissued 10 Withdraw about two miles, which
was done without loss.
During the engagement the enemy
drove our men from two guns, but before
they could De removed our men charged
fand retoOk them.
The loss OF the enemy cannot be stated
but it is thought TO be about as heavy as
our own in killed and wounded, while
their loss in prisoners is much heavier
than hours. We took about FIVE hundred
altogether during the day.
General Grant and staff were present
during the entire day, and, in company
with General Meade, witnessed the various
movements.
During Thursday night, the rebels made
an assault on our works south of where
the mine was sprung, but were driven
back with considerable loss. Near the
same place, Tarty from the First divi
sion of the Second corps made dash on
rAhel fort. and captured il. taking a
colonel, major, q captain, lieutenant
with twenty men, prisoners, and bringing
/ off two guns.
Our picket line was advanced here for
some distance, and our men still hold the
new ground. W. b. McGREGoR.
