rent of the public mind. We give below such news as we were enabled to gather: From the front. It appears that all the reports of the fight at Riddle's Shop, on Monday, were incorrect, and that, instead of driving our troops, the Yankees were finally themselves driven by our infantry several miles. We still hold the Malvern Heights, and Grant is reported to have gone to Wesfever, full thirty miles from Richmond by the road, in Charles City county. This is near the point to which McClellan retreated after he was whipped away from the front of Richmond. The reports of the demoralization of the Federal army are apparently well grounded, and it may be that he has sought this locality which, under the protection of the gunboats, he can recuperate his shattered strength, and get the courage of his men up to the fighting point; though the more probable supposition is that he design is crossing to the Southside, somewhere in the vicinity of City Point. The following dispatch,

The enemy retreated in confusion, apparently, by the route he came, leaving his dead and wounded on the field. At daylight this morning, it was discovered that the army of Gen. Grant had left our front. Our skirmishers were advanced between one and two miles, but failing to discover the enemy, were withdrawn. A body of cavalry and some infantry, from long Bridge, advanced to Riddle's shop and were driven back this evening nearly two miles, after some sharp skirmishing. Respectfully, R. E. Lee, General.

The main body of their force is believed to be moving still on the north side of the Chickahominy. The force which they sent across the Chickahominy yesterday at Long Bridge, and which advanced up the Charles City road about three miles above Riddle's Shop and the road leading to Malvern Hill, until checked and driven back by Mahone and Wilcox, consisted of two picked divisions of Yankee infantry from the 5th corps, a division of cavalry, and a battery of artillery. This force came across merely to divert our attention, and with no purpose of seizing Malven Hill. They quickly, and almost without resistance, gave back when our infantry came up, retiring some four or five miles, and as seen as night came on they began moving down the south sine of the Chickahominy towards the James. In this fight we lost some eight

There is apparently some movement going on among the Yankees, but what it portends has not yet been definitely ascertained. They have elevated their observatory on the Bermuda Hundred Peninsula to the height of over one hundred feet, and it now towers above the highest trees in its vicinity. It is situated on Cobb's farm, and commands a complete view of the surrounding country. A few days ago a piece of artillery was placed in a position to play upon this observatory, and, it is reported, succeeded in striking it once or twice, but before much damage could be done the enemy's batteries compelled a removal of the gun. On Monday a body of the enemy's cavalry made a sudden dash on the City Point road and captured two of our pickets. Graham's battery, being in position, opened upon them vigorously,
