The enemy was driven through the town and pursued about three miles. Col. Wm. E. Peters, commanded on our side and received a painful wound in the leg. Capt.

recent cavalry expedition to the Peninsula has furnished us with the following particulars: The expedition, composed of a command of about 500 cavalry, under Col. Ball, left the vicinity of Richmond at day-dawn of Sunday, the 26th ultimo and proceeded, without important incident or interruption, to "Neck of Land" near Williamsbto the disappointment of the troops, and the officer in command it was soon discovered that the negroes, and their Yankee accomplices, hearing of the approach of Col. Ball's command, had broken up their encampment on the day previous, and retired to the rear of Fort Magruder, below Williamsburg. Our forces would have visited Williamsburg but information having reached Col. Ball that the Yankees had been reinforced by two regiments of infantry and some artillery, and that a gunboat was lying in Queen's Creek, near the town, that officer deemed it prudent to retire without making an attack. On their return the expedition captured about 150 negroes se

The Yankees raid upon Fredericksburg. It seems that the entrance of the enemy into Fredericksburg on Sunday was unknown to our forces there until their fire was opened. They came into the town about half-past 8 o'clock in the morning. They numbered in all about one hundred and forty, about one hundred entering the town, and the others remaining on the opposite side of the river. Capt. Simpson, of the Chesapeake cavalry, 15th regiment, Col. Ball, formed his company after the enemy came into the town, and while they were around him, and made a charge, in which he captured five, killed two, and wounded one Yankee.--The enemy then retreated, and Capt. S. being informed that there was a regiment on the other side of the river, withdrew his command from the town, and formed in line of battle in an elevated field near by. Afterwards, hearing that Federal infantry were creating the river, he fell back some five miles and encamped, extending his pickets to the immediate vicinity o

eception. On Sunday a cavalry skirmish occurred some miles above the town, at a ford on the Rappahannock river, the enemy sustaining a repulse, without any casualties on our side. Yesterday morning they again advanced, and were met by our cavalry near the town, and a second time repulsed. In this fight we had one killed and three wounded. If the force of the enemy is as large as represented our forces there will doubtless be compelled to evacuate the place, unless early assistance should reach them. Col. Ball, of the 15th Virginia cavalry, is in command of the post. Our informant states that when he left Fredericksburg Falmouth (nearly opposite) was in possession of the enemy. The stock of cotton and tobacco stored in Fredericksburg was burned during the day yesterday by our troops. P. S.--Since the above was written we learn, on good authority, that the enemy entered Fredericksburg yesterday with two regiments. A skirmish occurred with our troops, who fell back.

fords, and therefore not in the compactly built part of the town,) yet the impression is very strongly entertained that the enemy will first threaten and then actually shell us, in the hope that the place will be evacuated and that thus the Rappahannock may be passed by them. As matters stand the view is by no means a pleasant one, but we rejoice to say the sentiment is general that, if the Government thinks it will subserve the great end in view, our people are ready for the sacrifice. Col. Ball, who has been in command, together with Lieut.-Col. Critcher, have been most assiduous in their efforts at guarding the town from the Federal troops who now menace it.] Wednesday has come and gone and Fredericksburg still stands. Early in the forenoon batteries were planted on the hills from Falmouth down to the lower ferry, on Bray's farm, a distance of over smile, and threatening to each and every part of the town. The hills at no point are scarcely as much as a quarter of a mile
