nothing of unusual interest at this point. Every person is very much interested in getting news of the fight, and no one can go into the streets without being cross questioned to the extent of his knowledge of the affair. The presence of the prisoners was quite cheering, and as good a show for the boys as a circus, or a horse-race. The Yankees seemed to care little about being gazed at, and lounged around the grounds smiling and chatting with each other, or bartering their hats and fine overcoats to our men.--They were started off at half-past 9 last night for Richmond. It is reported this evening that our pickets have been driven in beyond Fairfax, and that the Federal scouts are advancing slowly. I do not learn that they are coming in any force. The general opinion here is that McClellan will be forced to fight within a few days, unless, indeed, the mind of the people can be diverted by an attack elsewhere — at Newburn, N. C., or some other similar point. Bohemian.

ished account as I do to the rumors and reports current here and at Centreville. Although I was not allowed the privilege of conversing with the prisoners, their statement came to me through a gentleman who did. Col. Milton Cogswell, the man from whom the most was expected, on account of his superior intelligence and education, proved the least friendly of all. He was an old army officer, and was at one time, if I am correctly informed, commandant at West Point. He was born in the State of Indiana, was appointed a cadet from that State, and entered the United States army as brevet second Lieutenant in the 4th infantry, July 1st 1849. On the 15th of August, 1855, he was made a first Lieutenant in the eighth regiment of infantry. During this fight he had no command, but was captured while on special duty, probably as an engineer. It is reported here that Col. Cogswell has expressed the wish that he be speedily exchanged, in order that he may again enter the war against us. Col.

ured from them. The prisoners state they did not have above four thousand men this side the river, but they acknowledge a large force ready to cross. At the risk of carrying coals to Newcastle, I will repeat what I have heard of the affair to- day, premising that I have no idea that it is correct in every particular. It can be compared with other statements which the reader will probably find in this same paper, and then he can draw his own conclusions. Gen. Evans fell back to Goose Creek on Saturday, and on Monday morning the Federals commenced crossing in boats, and at once advanced towards, the town. The distance from Leesburg to the river, I am told, is about three miles, and before the enemy had reached the town the 8th Virginia was sent forward to meet them. This regiment was partially relieved by the 18th Mississippi, which advanced to the front and bore the brunt of the fight during the day. To give a better view of it, I may say that the enemy landed in squads o

motion. They feel confident that we are to be conquered, and that the Southern States will soon become subjugated provinces of the North. No former prisoners have been so confident or so hopeful even of success. Judging from a comparison of the different stories, I should say the force of the enemy was considerably over-rated. All the prisoners, some six hundred and fifty in number, are from four regiments, the 15th and 20th Massachusetts, the 42d New York. （Tammany,) and Baker's California. Three men, two of whom were brought in this evening, were from Rhode Island, and belonged to the 3d Rhode Island battery, company B. It is very probable if many other regiments had been on the field some few would have been captured from them.

Lee, of the 15th Massachusetts regiment, is verobably the grandest rascal in the whole Northern army, was shot early in the day, and fell, with five bullets through his breast. This information is given by Col. Cogswell, who saw him fall. There is nothing of unusual interest at this point. Every person is very much interested in getting news of the fight, and no one can

was held in reserve, and took no active part in the fight. Our loss is estimated at one hundred, and eighty. The highest number reported as killed is forty- five. I may here add that the enemy had upwards of 12,000 men on the opposite side of the river, but was unable to set them across, in the face of the terrible fire that was opened upon every boat. None of the prisoners seem to know the object of the expedition. Some think that a general advance was contemplated, and such blame McDowell for not supporting them.--My own opinion is, that the enemy supposed Gen. Evans had withdrawn his forces, and that Leesburg could be easily occupied and fortified. By holding it they have the control of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The statement that six pieces of artillery was captured was The prisoners in the that they had but three pieces along.
