Operations around Richmond — the battle not renewed yesterday — firing at Chaffin's Bluff — another steamer destroyed in St. John's river, &c.
The news from the Southside is meagre, though interesting as showing the extent of the enemy's defeat in the battle of Monday.
Our forces continued the pursuit until the Yankees were driven across Proctor's creek, a distance of three miles below Drewry's Bluff.
The latest advices represent that they had gone to their entrenchments in the of Bermuday by a torpedo in the St. Johns, a short distance below Jacksonville.
She had two guns aboard, and was lowing a schooner.
The latter escaped.
It is not known how many lives were lost.
This is the third steamer that has met this fate in St. Johns river in the last forty days. Samuel Jones, Maj Gen.
A raiding party in Mississippi.
