ured 300 prisoners. We learn through a courier that the enemy came up in heavy force of infantry, supported by a battery, that our troops rushed forward, charged the battery, captured its and took stand of colors. It is stated that some prisoners, but that the enemy were fairly repulsed. We also hear a report that an engagement took place below Gaines's Mill, with a similar result, and the capture of seventy wagons loaded with commissary stores, on their way from the White House to Grant's army. We are not prepared to vouch for the truth of these reports entirely, though there is no doubt of the fact that in the fighting yesterday the advantage remained with the Confederates. Large fires, five in number, and apparently some four or five miles apart, were seen yesterday in the direction of Old Church. The impression prevails that the enemy were burning the farm houses in that vicinity, though they may have been destroying their own stores. The Yankees have tor

ginia,Banks of the Chickahominy, May 31, 1864. We are too near to the enemy to speak with much particularity of the military condition in front of Richmond. Grant, as you are aware, has brought his whole army across to the south side of the Pamunkey. His right rests on or near the Central Railway, and his left on the Tolopoi brigade up to the point of danger at a double quick. This timely movement was successful in thwarting the enemy, and preserving the integrity of our lines. Grant is believed to be repeating the manœuvre by which he turned our right flank at the Wilderness, at Spotsylvania Court-House and Hanover Junction. At each of these s the narrow peninsula between the Pamunkey and the Chickahominy he will find it as fatal as the Red Sea was to Pharoah and his hosts. It is not believed that Grant will move out from his present position to attack Gen Lee. If there is a battle in the next few days the Confederates must take the initiative, or it is not probab

f the day. Nobody believes that the enemy will ever enter Richmond as long as Lee and Beauregard, with such armies as they command, are interposed between them and Grant and Butler, for they know that these armies must first be annihilated, and they do not think Grant and Butler the men to do that job. More excitement was created bGrant and Butler the men to do that job. More excitement was created by the raid of Kilpatrick, three months ago, than has been created by the approach of Grant's huge army, beaten and depleted as it has already been, and bearing in its train nothing of the prestige of victory. That our Generals are worthy, of all the confidence which is thus gratuitously bestowed upon them, none know better thaGrant's huge army, beaten and depleted as it has already been, and bearing in its train nothing of the prestige of victory. That our Generals are worthy, of all the confidence which is thus gratuitously bestowed upon them, none know better than the Yankees. Gen Beauregard has been so successful wherever he has commanded that he has been styled the "fortunate General;" yet his good fortune has been due not to blind chance, or luck as it is generally termed, but to his own genius and his thorough mastery of his profession. From Manassas to Chester he has never drawn his
