d, the dead bodies of the lather remaining in the streets of Orange Court-House after the fight was over. Four carriages were pressed by the Yankees to carry off their wounded. Several prisoners were captured, six of whom (Sergeant J. S. Trowbridge and two privates of the 5th New York, and two privates of the 1st Vermont,) were brought to Richmond by the Central train last evening and committed to the Military Prison. Some few of our men were captured in the skirmish, but none killed. Major Berry, of the 4th Georgia battalion, who was near the scene of action informs us that the enemy retreated by way of Terrill's Ford across the Rapidan river. Our troops occupied the town on Saturday night. Conflicting reports of this affair were in circulation yesterday, but the foregoing statement is derived from a source entitled to full confidence, and may be relied on as correct. It has been conjectured that this advance of the enemy's cavalry was made with a design to destroy a train

Our men fought with desperation, not having more than 100 at any one time in the fight, while the enemy's force was between 1,200 and 1,500.

Four carriages were pressed by the Yankees to carry off their w made with a design to destroy a train of cars which had been running from Gordonsville to Orange Court-House, but in this they met with a signal failure. We understand that our pickets were driven i that our men were forced to retire before over whelming numbers, and that the enemy took possession of Orange Court-House. The impression prevails that a general engagement cannot be long delayed.

go anywhere else. In reply to her question, what building it was, she was informed that it was used as a receptacle for her countrymen, when she shook her fist with indignation at the disabled Yankees and yelled out to them that they nor she would have occupied their present position had they fought like the rebels. Her remarks were deemed offensive by those to whom they were addressed, and after the lady was carried among them they contrived a plan to annoy her by getting up sundry letters to Gen. Winder, (an abomination in her eyes,) requesting him to detain her in Richmond, as neither useful nor ornamental to them. The fact being communicated to her with becoming gravity by a Confederate officer, she then exhibited the first signs of being a woman, by shedding a few tears.--She was finally made aware of the joke, and afterwards conducted herself more quietly, though it is said she did rave and rant a great deal on being locked up in one of the ladies' cabins on board the cars.

n the long line of limping and disabled Lincolnites wended their way to the Petersburg depot. Among the prisoners sent away was Mrs. R. Frazier, the Yankee woman captured at the White House, and who asserted that she went there to wait on Gen. Sumner and several of her personal friends, alleged to have been sick in that locality. Her colloquial power was most extensive. After being brought to Richmond and inserted in Castle Godwin, the officers in charge respectfully asked to be relieved about "experiences" in Dixie from this strong-minded disciple of Greeley. Prior to her departure she had the candor to acknowledge that she did not believe the South could ever be subjugated — a remark she said she had made to the Abolition General Sumner, which he answered by a look of incredulity. Mrs. Frazier was taken from her room over the Assistant P. M.'s office at an early hour yesterday morning, and conveyed in a hack to the Military Prison. Arriving there, she was requested to alig

After being brought to Richmond and inserted in Castle Godwin, the officers in charge respectfully asked to be relieved of her presence, as the diarrhoea of words, not of the most choice kind, with which she constantly afflicted them was past human endurance. The Southern people may confidently expect a dozen columns of twaddle about "experiences" in Dixie from this strong-minded disciple of Greeley. Prior to her departure she had the candor to acknowledge that she did not believe the South could ever be subjugated — a remark she said she had made to the Abolition General Sumner, which he answered by a look of incredulity.

The removal of those sent away yesterday was affected very quietly; but few persons were on Cary street when the long line of limping and disabled Lincolnites wended their way to the Petersburg depot.
