and A. P. Hill were advancing to the right, and Gen. Huger by our left, when about three o'clock on Monday our scouts announced that the foe were in strong force in camp, and all things prepared to receive us. Pushing forward on the Darbytown (Charles City) road to the right, it seemed to be evidently a part of the plan that Huger's advance on the left should be made simultaneously. About 3 P. M. Longstreet advanced upon the enemy and drove in their dense body of skirmishers, supported as the had discharged his duty. Death of a gallant officer. Among the many gallant soldiers whose spirits winged their flights upward in the fierce contest which ensued between the patriot and the abolition forces on Monday evening on the Charles City road, the memory of none will be cherished wish more fond regret by those who knew him while living than that of Joseph V. Scott, Lieutenant Colonel of the 3d Regiment Virginia Infantry, who was struck by a shell and instantly killed on that m

e North must feel and acknowledge the mortification of a crushing and overwhelming defeat. It was impossible for us to learn the entire results of yesterday's operations. We can only assure our readers that they are not less successful than have been the previous efforts of our brave troops and that night closed with the Union forces still retreating, and our own steadily and surely "pressing them to the wall." The supposition still is that they are endeavoring to force their way to James river, and that their only hope is that transports will be in readiness to receive at least a portion of their army. Taking this view of the case, thousands of them are likely to leave their bones to bleach on the bill sides and low lands of Virginia. Large numbers will doubtless find their way to Richmond, to be fed and fattened at the expense of the Government whose subjugation they have sought to accomplish.

About four hundred captured Yankees were brought into this city yesterday. Among the number was Major General George A. McCall, U. S. A. the next in command to McClellan. This officer on his arrival, was conducted before General Winder, and paroled to stay within the limits embraced in the area covered by the Spotswood House.

Officers and men emulated the example of the chief they loved so well.--At length war's clarion again burst forth on the car and, responding to the call, Wheat's sabre flashed in the Valley by the side of the heroic Jackson, and in eight engagements the fame of "Wheat's Battalion" was the themes of every tongue. At the final struggle of Port Republic, when "Ringold's celebrated battery" was captured by the "Louisiana Brigade," Wheat's sonorous voice was heard rising high above the crash of the conflict, his form seemed to dilate, and his eye to flash fire as the earth rang with the "earthquake shout of victory." With eighty-five men (the relies of his once proud corps) he again rushed on danger and doom on Friday evening last in front of our Capital.

g positions, and of formidable character. Our men are succeeding inch by inch in driving the enemy from all ports. This is the hardest engagement that has yet occurred, and must have great results. The loss on both sides must prove fearful. Longstreet Hill, McLaws, Magruder, and others, are holly engaged, and it is expected that by 8 P. M. the enemy will have been entirely routed. The greatest enthusiasm prevails, and shells are flying in all directions over the country for miles. Pickett's Brigade. This gallant brigade was engaged again on Monday evening, as we learn from a member of the 18th, Colonel Withers's regiment. It behaved with more than its usual gallantry. We have not been able to understand the exact number of wounded and killed in either the 8th, 18th, 19th, or 28th regiments composing it; but our informant, who is a member of the 18th, represents it as necessarily very large. Among the wounded is Adjutant McCulloch of the 18th, who has distinguished him

One hundred and fifty Yankee prisoners, mostly Pennsylvanians, of Franklin's division, which brings up the rear of the Federal forces, were captured yesterday morning a little after sunrise, and brought to this city under charge of Captain William F. Plane, of the 6th Georgia regiment. Among the prisoners are several officers. A dispatch fell into the hands of General Hill, from Gen. Kearney, which seems to have been addressed to Gen. Franklin, requesting him to send two brigades instantly to his relief, to assist in repelling Magruder. Franklin's position had been on the stream, immediately opposite Gen. Hill, and the courier coming forward with the dispatch, and seeing the same guns in position, rode down the hill and was captured by a private in the 12th Alabama regiment. His horse is now sodden by Capt. Plane, who had previously less his own. We learn that so far from being broken down or depressed is spirits by the terr
