GENERAL ITEMS. The reports in the Richmond papers of so many of the habitants having been injured by our shells are wholly thout foundation. I learn from citizens that the Casualties have been very few and rare. Most of the Indies and children have rema‘ned throughout the whole Blego, and most of the male inhabitants would have done 80 had they not been forced into the rebel ranks. ‘The citizens 1 have thus far talked with seem delighted ‘with the change of armies, and express no dislike, either in word or manner, to the “detested Yankees, ” The polite proprietor of the Jarrett House has just en- fored my room and inquired if I would like a cup of Genuine Yankee coffee. 1 doubt if my friend Leland, of Politan Hotel, takes such pains with his guests. As this short despatch has to reach City Point before ten o'clock, I had to decline the offer of the coffee for the Present. I doubt tf Peteraburg has seen so gay a scene for many “days as is presented this morning.

THE SECOND CORPS. Mr. Wm. J. Starks’ Despatch. Havgvanrers, Sxcoxp Corrs, April 2, 1865. Ere this despateh reaches you the telegraph will have ‘Vorne through the North the news of this day—one of tho most glorious to the Union arms since the war began. ‘DETAILS OPTHE FIGHTING OF THK SECOND CORPS ON THK 2D INSTANT, During almoat'the entire of last night heavy and con- ‘tinuous firing of artillery was heard along the Ines, Mostly in front-ef the Sixth and Ninth. The order for tho assautt upon the enemy had been given for early Mhorn, aud every sold‘or, as he laid down with his mus- ket resting on his arm, felt that the coming morrow was big with fate. / The right of the Second corps, held by the Second division, rested on Hatcher’s run, about one mile above Armstrong's ford, at the close of yesterday's operations. A formidable line of works, with an admirably con- structed fort, lay in their immediate front. Two lines of abatis and several thick slashings rendered. the Spproach thereto almost impossible. On the left of the Second was General Turner's division of the Twenty- fourth corps. The rebel works were well manned and Contained several very fine pieces of artillery. Ordors were given to charge the works at daylight, and all the Tequisite preparations were made an hour before that time. a ‘THE POST OF HONOR. To the First brigade of the Second division, under Colonel William A., Olmsted, of the Fifty-ninth New York Volunteers, was assigned the post of honor. Promptly ‘at the hour the advance began, preceded by a heavy fire of artillery by @ battery stationed near ‘Mr. Armstrong's house in such a position as to fling an enfilading fire upon the enemy. The condition of the country in front Of the Second division was such as to render it impossi- ble to bring artillery to the front. The Ninotcenth Mas- sachusetts, Captain Palmer, and the Seventh Michigan, ‘Lieutenant Colonel Lapoint, were in the immediate front ‘ef the fort. © 4. 2 ‘THE cHaRaR. On receiving the order the men charged with a deter- Mined yell, and plunging through the slashings and ‘over the abatis, aiid a heavy fire, drove the enemy from ‘the works, capturing three brass field pieces and about hundred prisoners. The advance of the Twonty- h was equally succossful, and*the entiro line of fell into our possession. The Twenty-fourth con- tinued the advance, while the Second division was moved by the left to the support of Genoral Miles, who had met @ strong force of the enemy intronched @ short distance Crom tho Southside road and vey being heavily pressed. ‘MIURS ATTACKS THE ENEMY IN THE PLANK. During the night General Miles was ordered to report © General Sheridan with his command, and after a toil- some march through the thick woods suocceded in doing #0. He was informed by that gallant oMcsr that his eervices wore not needed, when he countermar-hod his ‘troops, and, coming down upon the flank of the rebel works near the Claiborne road, succeeded in compelling their evacuation. The enemy fell back some two miles, closely followed by our troops, which had been placed in bis front. When withia a mile and a half of the gouth- tide road the enemy was discovered in a line of works, and a flerce skirmish began and continued for about two The state of the roads and condition of the country ‘such that the troops sent to the support of General could not get up in time, and at about three o'clock General, fearing that the day would pass and leave this side the railroad, determined to charge the , and immediately made dispositions for that pur- ‘THE REWEL WORKS CAPTURED. ‘The position held by the rebels was # very strong one, being on an eminence from which an open field sloped pearly half 3 mile. Bnt nothing seems impossibly to our bravo troops, and they were soon sweeping across tho open space, regardieas of the hail storm of bullets and which met their advance. It was not in (rebel) the onslaught, apd as our Works they broke and fied, though remained behind, waving their handkerchiefs in of surrender. Our troops immediately advanced ‘cross the railroad, where they were halted, and dispo- itions made to hold it. CAPTURES, ‘Woe captured in the affair four hundred and thirty-six prisonors, including thirveen officers, among whom was Colonel Brown, of the One Hundred and Forty-cighth North Carolina, ¢ In the meantime, the Second division, led by Goneral Gumphreys, in its movement to the left had obliqued toward tho road, and siriking it some distance below the First division, moved up on a road running parallel with {i and connected with the right of the First. Upon m voting General Miles, Genoral Humphreys shook him fhoartily by the hand and congratulated him apon his ‘splendid success, carTcRes, ‘Tho battle flag of the Forty-seventh North Carolina was captured by private Franklin D. Denio, Company M, Fourth New York heavy artillery. Private James Bogan, Fourth New York heavy artillery, was the first to reach one of the rebel guna, and, wheeling it around, loaded it ‘and fired at the retreating rebels. Captain Charles B. Shorter, of the rebel engi- moors, serving om the staff of General’Lee, was among the number captured. He intimated that the loss of the _—--Gouthside road was something ‘ike “a blessing in d's- guise,”’ and stated that the rebels expected to win their independence within a month. ‘Uertainly,”’ says a bold private standing noar and listening to the conversation, “we Intond to give you your liberty in that timo.’ THe THIRD DIVISION, The Third division (General Mott's), up to three o'clock occupied the centre of the corps line, and had not been ongaged to any extent durng the day. At that hour it was ordered to report to Geweral Wright, of the Sixth, aud will doubtless on the morrow do its part in finishing the work necessary to place Petersburg in our possorsion. OQUERILLAS, The advance of our lines has left open some of the roads Wo the rear, and the guerillas are operating with their usial recklessness, Two wagous werd eaptared this evening within a mile of Hatcher's run, on the Vaughn road, and « sergeant accompanying them, who oscapod, was severely wounded in the arm. TWR SUM OF Tie DAY's OPERATIONS, To sum up the day's operations:—The corps haa ad vanced to the Southside road, which it now holds; cap. tured three Hines of the enemy's works, five guns and about on» thousand prisoners , Loses, Our lows, all told, is about four hundred. Among the wounded I regret to mention the name of Brovet Briga. dior Goneral Madill, commanding Third brigade of the First division, who was struck while gallantly leading his troops im the movement tipon the flank of the enemy whieh compelled the evacuation of their works as before meationca.

CEE Persnssvre, Va., April 8, 1865. ‘The rebels managed to get away with all their artillery, excepting one or two old columbiada anda few heavy mortars, which they could not transport readily, A large number of men deserted and hid away in town until our troops entered, when they made their ap- pearance, and were taken into custody.

It appours that some enterp-ising pariios had forged pa aos to that point, and orders were accord ngly issued to detain all parties presenting theimse.ve, with passes at Fortress Mourvo until tho matter could bo investigated. Three thousand woyuded from the recent batties around Petersburg are expected here to-night and to-morrow. The first installment has already roached here. ‘The Sanitary Commission have forwarded to City Point quantity of supplies for the relief of the woundod in the late battles, and were preparing to send down a large additional quantity, but have received information from their agents that they will not bo required, Tho ntmber of casualties is much less than was at first # pposed, and it is now believed that Gonoral Grant's estimate of seven thousand will nearly if not quite cover the losses during the last week.

The demonstration, though entirely impromptu, was none the less onthusi- astic and successful.
