e town of Appomattox Courthouse before daylight, where, upon the opposite side of the town, I found the enemy in my front. Throwing out my skirmishers and forming line of battle, I reconnoitered and satisfied myself as to their position, and waited the arrival of General Gordon for instruction, who, awhile before day, accompanied by General Fitz Lee, came to my position, when we held a council of war. General Gordon was of the opinion that the troops in our front were cavalry, and that General Fits Lee should attack. Fitz Lee thought they were infantry and that General Gordon should attack. They discussed the matter so long that I became impatient, and said it was somebody's duty to attack, and that immediately, and I felt satisfied that they could be driven from the crossroads occupied by them, which was the route it was desirable that our wagon train should pursue, and that I would undertake it; whereupon Gordon said: Well, drive them off. I replied: I cannot do it with my divisi

From Gen. Lee's Army. There was nothing new from the army of Gen. Lee brought down by passengers on the Central train last night. The enemy seems to be making preparations for an advance on the line of the upper Rappahannock, but his movements are doubtless retarded by the oppressive weather of the past week. Passengers from Fredericksburg represent that the enemy in some force are in Stafford county, about five miles from Fredericksburg; but of their movements very little seems to b. Lee's Army.

at his place is safe, and that Mr. Adams can supply him a new argument for refusing to accord to a gallant people the rights they claim and have abundantly vindicated. [from the London Star, July 20.] With deep, devout, and grateful joy, we publish to-day the news of viceries that are the heralds of a happy peace. Seldom, if ever, has it been the lot of the journalist to announce on the same sheet two events of such transcendent importance as the fall of Vicksburg and the retreat of Lee. The glorious Fourth of July has indeed tion. How thankful may the House of Commons be that Mr. Roebuck was silenced in time. For although he had never a chance of carrying his motion, what reputations might he not have dragged into the mile. It is had enough that even the glare of temporary success should have reduced any of free woman born into sympathy with the treason of slaveholders.--How much worse that men of political mark among us should be committed to the recognition of a re

The raid upon Ashland. The Yankee cavalry force which advanced upon Ashland on Wednesday, was first met near Hanover C. H, by a portion of Gen. Fits Lee's troops, and skirmishing at once commenced, Our men gradually fell back before the enemy's division (commanded by Wilson) until they reached Ashland, and retired a short distance beyond that point.--The Yankees halted, and at once commenced their work of destruction by burning the water tanks and one or two hand care belonging to the railroad company; but before they had an opportunity to accomplish more General Rosser approached by the Half Sink road, and at once engaged them.

From Gen. Lee's army. Store's Farm, June 2. --Hampton Fought Wilson's division of Yankee cavalry near Ashland yesterday, defeating and pursuing it over three miles, and capturing some 75 prisoners and 300 horses. Our loss is estimated at 75. The enemy, during the day yesterday, assaulted our lies at various times in front of Heth and Rodes, and is Anderson's corps in front, and were handsomely repulsed each time. About dark yesterday, three divisions of the 6th Yankee corps assaulted Hoke's division, causing Clingman's North Carolina brigade for a time to give way. Colquitt's Georgia brigade quickly came its assistance, recovering nearly all the ground Clingman lost. Our loss was not over 200, and we captured about sixty prisoners. A good many of our men are missing, but it is supposed they will come in. This morning the enemy were found to have abandoned the front of A. P. corps, stretching from nearly around to the Mechanicville pike. Wilcox's skirmishers w

that General Grant has no intention to risk a general battle at the present moment. He is gradually moving down to the White House to unite his forces with those of Beast Butler, when, if ever, he may pluck up courage enough to try the mettle of Lee's men once more. That he will do so before this Junction shall have been made we do not expect. After all — that is after he shall have joined Butter — he may prefer the slow process of entrenching, to the more rapid, but less promising, method 's, is not going to besiege the army that whipped it. It is the beaten army always, not the victorious that is besieged. It would take half a million of men to invest Richmond, with Les's army inside of the works. We feel perfectly secure with Gen. Lee and his army between us and the enemy, and well assured that the campaign, terminate when it may, will be to us a triumphant success. From Northern Georgia, we publish cheering news this morning. Gen. Johnston has retired the foe, but he
