ng Grant sent another flag of truce to Gen. Lee requesting a specific flag of truce to bury the dead. This was granted, and the time between 7 and 10 P. M. set apart for that purpose. From some cause or other, however, Grant did not get notice of the truce in time, and his dead were not buried. This morning another flag of truce came over, but I am not advised at this writing of its purport. To day little or nothing has been done Grant is still in force near Gaines's Mill, in front of Hill and Anderson. That he has not gone back to the White House, I am almost sure. He may be making for the Southside, or he may intend to strengthen his lines and mass his troops for another and a desperate final effort. It is said, as I close this, however, that he is again moving more to our right. X. Affairs at Staunton.

ides a number of wounded ones. June 7--4½ P. M. Early yesterday evening moved forward or rather swung his lines on our left around some three or four miles in pursuit of the enemy, who had left his front, until he found them in force strongly entrenched on the Pottototomy creek, with a deep and impenetrable marsh in their front. After skirmishing with them awhile nothing was left him but to desist in the pursuit. Among the prisoners whom we captured was a Captain of Engineers on Sheridan's staff. The enemy in falling back left some three or four lines of very heavy works. As usual the enemy have inflicted all kinds of wrongs upon the heads of the poor non-combatants left in their lines. Some of the people in the country thus abandoned by them were absolutely without one morsel to eat; whilst their houses had been literally sacked, the bedding being taken by the Yankee devils to the trenches to sleep on, and other kinds of furniture carried there and wantonly destroyed.
