WASHINGTON. August %.

WASHIN0TON, hu6uUt -.
A letter received from the army of the
Potomac, dated yesterday, says ell is quiet
except the usual picket firing in front OF the
9th corps. The firing on our right on Thurs.
day aud Friday, was occasioned by move
ment Of our troops from position to another,
which the enemy evidently didn't under.
stand, and their troops wero fearful Of IN
attack on tho right, 1t Evans Station, on
the Weldon railroad.
Our total loss in the fight Of Thursday
will not exceed 1900, while that Of the
enemy Is supposed about 5000.
We still hold about miles of the Wei
don h. r. aud the position abandoned by
the I'd corps was efiectually destroyed.
Dcserters Who came in yesterday say that
Gen. A. p. Hills corps with the 2nd Di
vision Of Gen. Longstreet's corps, and the
JEFF Davis Legion we're tho rebel troops en-
gagged Thursday. They also state that
since the Weldon X. r. has fell into our
hands, pork hes advanced to Sc, and beef
% pound 10 Richmond, and their officers
declare that the railroad must be rcopened
ot oil hazards.
