HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD, June 10, 1864.

(Via Fort Monroe, 1 a. m. 11th. Received 9.20 a. m.)

All quiet along our lines. Yesterday General Kautz charged enemy's works at Petersburg, and carried them, penetrating the town, but not being supported by General Gillmore, who had withdrawn his forces without a conflict, General Kautz was obliged to withdraw without further effect. General Kautz captured 40 prisoners and 1 piece of artillery, which he brought away with him. It is a misfortune that General Gillmore did not support him. Might I not have the Thirty-sixth U. S. Colored Regiment from Point Lookout? The regiments ought to hold the prisoners there.
