You loop all the items in the DataList and use FindControl to locate the TextBox.

protected void send(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //loop all the items in the datalist
    foreach (DataListItem item in datalist.Items)
    {
        //find the textbox with findcontrol
        TextBox tb = item.FindControl("Values") as TextBox;

        //do something with the textbox content
        string value = tb.Text;
    }
}
