Skirmish near Suffolk — Flight of the Yankees
from Carrsville.

Petersburg, Jan. 12,
--Gen. Pryor encountered Dodge's Mounted Riflemen five miles from Suffolk, with two companies of cavalry, and routed them, inflicting considerable loss. Gen. Pryor remained in line of battle until Sunday morning; but the enemy would not leave their strongholds.

Learning that 3,500 Yankees were at Carrsville, Gen. Pryor pushed across to intercept them. They fled on our approach, escaping through Gates county. The prisoners captured say that Corcoran commands at Suffolk.
