We pre.sume it is not very formi dable, since it was pressed into service on the second day of (Jrani’s fearful encounter with (jen. ree, and has been engaged ever since.

In this nnr troops \v»‘re mistaken, for it was as certained b‘-lbre dark that the enemy had miLMsed a very heavy force on our iolt —especially on the (Jit,y Point and Prince (Jeor«e V)urthou.*ie roads. At sunset tlie enemy eharged our batteries couimanding tlie.se roads, coming up iu line-oF- battlc six and seven coluiuns deep. The brunt ol the as.'^uult was sustained by the Jtilh and 40th regiments, ol Wise’s Hrigade, and tSturdivaut’a Battery of four gnus. 'Phree a.s.'^anlt.^ were ntade, the enetuy coming up with a yell, and making the most determined efl'orts to carry tho works. Our troops received them with a tcrrilie voll*-y each time, sending the columns back, broken and discomfited. T'h^. lotirth anr^iiult was made by such overwhe^.uiiig nunibers tliat 0*1 r lorcc found it impossible t» resist the pressure, and were com- pellfd to give wiy. 'i'he enemy now poured over the works in Hlreant.s, captured three ol our pie ces, and turning the gun.^ on our meti, op^jtied upon them an enfilading lire, which caused them to leave .precipitately. 'J'he guns captured be longed to Sturdivant's Battery, and (’apt. H was captured and tw) of his Lieutenants woundM|, both of whom f.-ll into t’ e enemy’s hands. The position gained by tho enemy is a moat important «3ne. Our (Jenerais are lully aware of this, and wc shall nndoubteilly have hot work t'» day.

The enemy appea^’ed on this road abotil 12 o’cloftk. Traniediat.eiy in friint of Battery No. 16 was stationed Ihe Macon (Geo.) liight Artillery, supported by a portion of the 34th Va. Regiment, Wise's Brigade. ' The ene my showed himself at once, driving in our pick ets, and planting a battery in front ol our works, with which he opened a furious cannonade. He was promptly and gallantly responded to by the Macon Artillery. . This fire was maintaiued for two hours, when the enemy charged our works, but after arriving within two hundred yards‘of tho fortiBcations, wa;; repulsed with considerable loss. They broke and fled in eonlnsioi* Th«jy were pursued by the :>4th lor .sotne '^.^ •ulCo. Among the dead left on the field in fro o tliis battery was Col.

Priione't oj war I^'rth and South.—It is a question now, not easily decided, whieh of the sections at war holds the greatest number of pris oners.

The latest reports from the prison ^sts give the following exhibit of prisoners aotually held in the Confederacy, vi:i:—at Andersonville, Georgia, 2.'i,000; at Ma con, 1200 oflBcers; at Lynchburg, 1,,'iOO; at I>an- ville, 1,000; at Riehmoud, 1,000; at other points east of the Mississippi, J,000; in the Trans-Mis- sisdippi, H,000. This gives about 3S,00() prlgon- ers of war. The enemy do not aotually hold over 25,000 of oiir .soldiers, though when those parol ed and s»iut southward come to be counted it will approximate near 30,000.
