Details of Late Engagements—Desperate Fight u Far—Reported Pesiti if Our Troeps—Their Confidence of Cap- turing Petersburg. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF Potomac, Sept. 30, P. M.—It having been determined by Gen’! Meade to make an attack on the enemy’s righ: flank, south west of Petersburg, the troops se- lected for that purpose were massed near the ‘Weldon road this morning. These consisted of the Ist and 2d divisions and one brigade of the 3a division of the 5th corps, with the 2d and 3d divisions of the 9th corps, while Gen. Uraw- ford, with his command held the works on the flank. At 11 o’clock the line was ordered to Advance, andthe enemy’s pickets were driven in. On Teaching, the residence of a Mr. Peebles, on the Squirrel Level road, about 4 miles from Petersburg, a strong line of works wasdis- covered, with an entrenched skirmish line in front, running close to the house. The 2d and 3d brigades of the ist division took the advance and, charging drove the enemy into their work: Three guns were opened on our advancing column, butit pushed on, and never halted until the rebels were driven from the position, with the loss of one gun and about sixty pris- oners. Our loss up to this time did not exceed one hundred in killed and wounded. Ool. Walch, of the 16th Michigan, was killed while in the act of leading his men over the enemy’s works. Major Partridge, commanding the 33d Penn- sylvania volunteers, was y wounded in the breast in this charge. Col. Groyn, com- manding 3d brigade, 2d division, 5th corps, had his horse shot under him, and, in falling, at bruised the Colonel, but he kept the field, nevertheless. Lieut. Col. Edmonds, 36th Mas- sachusetts, was wounded. After reforming our lines another charge was made, and the enemy was forced hal{ a mile further back, where they took a stiil stronger position, and made a desperate resistance to our advance. The 9th corps having the advance here, the enemy succeeded in throwing a force around the Pegram House, on its left, and threatened to turn our ‘tank, but Griffin’s division, being at hand, ehecked the enemy. The fighting WAS Gi the most desperate character, and Listed till after dark, our men at that time holding ail the ground they had taken from the enemy. Our loss in the battle will amount to about 500, while that of the enemy is probably not so large, as they fought nearly all the time behind breastworks. Very little artillery was used on our side, the woods being too dense. Oontra- bands who have come in say the enemy with. drew nearly all their troops yesterday toward Richmond, but brought some back this morn- ing, including all the home guard. A heavy battle is expected to-morrow morn- ing, and it ie believed we shall take Petersbarg during the day, such is the confidence of our troops. The prisoners taken belong to the 7th Confederate cavalry, dismounted. Among them are a major and six commanding oflicers. OcToBER 1—5 A. M.—Grege’s cavalry were sent ont quite & distance toward the left, and tound only a small forceot Hampton’s cavalry, which they drovesouth across Rowanty Creek. The main body are reported as having crossed the Appomattox yesterday morning. 7 Fighting has not yet commenced this morn- ing. Reports from Butler’s department state that Hoke’s division attacked our troops yesterday, for the purpose of regaining the ground lost the day previous, but were alsed each time ‘with heavy loss. General jarnham, com- manding a brigade in the 10th corps, is said to have been killed The 7th New Jersey leaves for home to-dzy. Some rebel cavalry attempted a raid in the direction of Prince e Court House, yes- terday, but soon learned they were in an un- safe neighborhood, and withdrew. W. D. McGREGoR. Continued Fighting—The Indications very favorable. Fortress MonRoz, Oct. 1—The United States hospital steamer arrived George this P. M. trom Deep Bottom, SS Aneeae of 200 wounded. They report fighting yesterday, 30th ult.,on the north side of Petersburg ; also heavy fighting south side of Petersburg, which continued to a iate hour lastevening. No important results yet reported of yester- a6 ’s fighting, but indications are very fayor- able. FROM THE SOUTHWEST. ¥ Transferred—His Address 'ppi Squadren—Maj.

Irwin’s prison is almost depopulated, many prisoners having been transferred to civil jurisdiction. Admiral Porter has been transferred from the Sabon squadron. His farewell address ‘was read here to-day. Itis not known where his new field of labor will be, but he has gone to New Orleans. Admiral Davis is spoken of as his succes- sor.
