Yesterday morning the fight was renewed by an attack of the enemy, and at the time our left, a warm engagement was progressing in the vicinity of Tunstall's station This is the statement of an officer who was present, and who may be presumed to have been well posted in regard to the facts.

Vanons rumors were in circulation yesterday in regard to this altair, one of which was that the enemy was driven back to the cover or their gunboats, and another that they were driven as far as New Kent Court house. An officer who was present furnishes a version totally different from any we had previously heard. He says that the enemy's works near the White House were held by two brigades of infantry, stationed there to guard some commissary stores, and that neither Sheridan nor his command were present during the day. It was reported yesterday that they had previously crossed the bridge and gone to West Point, some fifteen miles distant; but some Yankee pickets who were captured stated that they had not yet reached the White House, though they had crossed the Mattaponi at St. Stephen's church, and were hourly experted. Two gunboats and a transport steamer were at the White House. At an early hour in the morning our artillery opened upon the infantry camp

He says that during the passage of Grant's army through that county, when he was "changing his base" and making fast time for Richmond, the most outrageous excesses were committed upon the inhabitants by the negro troops.
