General WEBB:

General McAllister captured the picket-line of the enemy and still holds it, taking 120 prisoners from Scales' and MacRae's brigades. General Mott reports, that the prisoners state that they came on picket at 4 o'clock this morning, at which time their brigades were ordered to be moved to their right. The prisoners will soon be here and I will examine them and report.

General Hays has just reported to me that he has taken the redoubt of the enemy near the Crow house. He is pushing forward his division; has captured a number of men; does not say how many, nor does he say whether the enemy occupies the works on the other side of the run. I expect more information soon.
