tured, or dispersed. The halt and rally sounded. The long charge through the cedar glade, over a rough road, had lengthened and almost disorganized the brigade. We were close upon Wharton's division, and when he saw that we had halted, he immediately began an advance on our broken regiments. A line hurriedly formed, was formed none too soon; their advance was in force enough to crush us, but, notwithstanding, our fellows opened fire. Just when he was needed more than any other man, Captain Stockes galloped up with his battery, opened fire rapidly, and drove the enemy again on retreat. A further charge now was impracticable; the nature of the road made it so; besides, it was impossible, the horses were worn and jaded to such an extent. Minty's brigade could have been used advantageously just then, but on sending back for him, the orderly reported him not to be found. Miller's command advanced with a strong line of skirmishers, which became warmly engaged, and, having gone two m

Somebody aroused. --A correspondent informs us that the people of Lunenburg county are now fully aroused, and volunteers are rapidly flocking to the standard of their country. The writer says: "Two companies of Infantry have been organized under the command of Captains Orgain (Common wealth's Attorney) and Stockes, who are at present in Richmond, for the purpose of procuring arms and uniforms." "The company of Cavalry, under Col. John Allen Stokes, needed only a few to make up the requisite number when we left the county, and we suppose it is also fully organized by this time." "The delay in coming forward in the defence of our home and firesides, by the citizens of this county, has been occasioned by circumstances of a nature which we do not deem it necessary to mention, and not from any want of interest in the common welfare of every Southern man." "The ladies of the county are also actively engaged, day and night, in plying the busy needle, in order to e

City Council. --A special meeting of the Council was held on Saturday evening at 4 o'clock. Present, Messrs. Saunders, (President,) Grattan, Burr, Crutchfield, Scott, Epps, Hill, Stockes, and Wynne. The subject of the free school in Jefferson Ward was taken up, and Dr. John Dove, by leave of the Council, made a statement in reference thereto, from which it appeared that there was a difference between himself and the School Commissioners, touching the occupancy of the basement room of the Seamen's Bethel. Finally, after much discussion the following resolution was offered by Mr. Burr, and adopted by the Council: Refolved, That the Commissioners of Schools for Jefferson Ward inquire and report to the Council whether any deed of trust or other lien, satisfactory to the City Attorney, has been given to secure the payment of $3,000 advanced to the directors or managers of the Seamen's Bethel, and whether any agreement in writing has been entered into ceding to the city th
