Contrary to the popular expectation, no general engagement took place yesterday.--The heavy firing heard in the morning gave rise to lle that a battle was in progress, but it turned out to be skirmishing on the lines, with artillery duels at intervals. A rumor was extensively circulated during the day that Ewell had on engagement with the enemy and drove him back some three miles, capturing 500 prisoners; but of this there is no confirmation. A wounded soldier, who came down last evening, states that he received his wound in a skirmish below Atlee's station. All accounts agree that the operations of yesterday were confined to skirmishing at different points along the lines. There is no doubt of the fact that Grant is endeavoring to make his way to the Peninsula, in order to connect with h

Some of these prisoners stated that their "time was on Monday, and seemed to think it a hard case that they should have been captured at that interesting period.

o be true that he has indeed lost his life on the field of battle, it may with truth be said that Virginia has offered no nobler sacrifice to this war than this youthful and brave officer. We also regret to hear a report of the death of Col. Willis, of the 12th Georgia regiment, commanding Pegram's brigade. It is hoped, too, that this may prove to be orroneous. Col. Willis was a brave officer, and has participated in many of the hard fought battles of the war. It is said that Col. Gibson, of the 49th Virginia regiment, is wounded and in the hands of the enemy. We have thus far been unable to ascertain the number of our casualties. Some of the wounded were brought down yesterday.

The shelling was kept up vigorously for about an hour. It is Butler's purpose to reinforce Grant by sending troops to Fortress Monroe, and thence up the York river to the White House; but it is doubtful whether the position on the Southside will be abandoned. From the Valley. Information has been received that Sigel is again moving up the Valley of Virginia, and at last accounts had reached the vicinity of New Market, the scene of his late defeat by Breckinridge. Our pickets were falling back before his advance. Some apprehension was felt at Staunton, but it amounted to nothing like a panic. Doubtless the Dutch General is anxious to retrieve the reputation he lost by his late disaster, and will probably adopt the method of plundering the inhabitants in the Valley in order to do so.
