soners, among them an aide-de-camp of General Leadly. R. E. Lee. Our wounded in the engagements above mentioned were brought down last evening and sent to the various hospitals. They all bring hopeful accounts of the situation of affairs on the lines, and our people have abundant cause for encouragement in the future prospect. A bloody battle may occurred any memant, of which the constant skirmishing would seem to be the precursor, or (according to the opinion of many persons) Grant may seck to avoid a collision on the present lines by making a movement towards the Peninsula, taking West Point for his base of operations. The second train lest evening brought down one hundred and sixty Yankee prisoners, captured, we understand, on Monday evening. They were sent to the Libby.--These captured by Mahone on Tuesday were expected by another train. An affair in Charles City county. Many rumors were in circulation yesterday, of an exaggerated character, concerning

Disloyal characters. --Two New Yorkers, named F. M. Grant and P. Brown, were yesterday arrested and committed to prison.--They were hunted up by Capt Charters's guard, and when taken before that officer, declared they would not fight.

day there was considerable skirmishing on our right, and slight skirmishing on our left. During the evening, Mahone, commanding Anderson's division, repelled an attack of the enemy on the left, and in turn charged them, capturing some prisoners. This morning there is some artillery firing, but it amounts to very little. Our troops are still in the best possible spirits. [second Dispatch.] Tatlorsville, May 25. --No. engagement to-day and very little skirmishing. Great has slung fortifications in our front, and is supposed to be moving his main force around still more to our right.

This seems to indicate that Grant intends changing his base towards the Peninsula.

In our opinion, if he has added 10,000 veterans to Grant's army since the battle, it is the most that he has done. Ninety days men and raw militia — the sweepings of the streets reasons that we entertain no fears of the result. On the contrary, we feel assured that it will be in our favor, and if Grant is badly defeated here he is a lost man. It should not be forgotten that Gen. Lee receives the attack behind breast-work,
