y states that the river was literally alive with transports, loaded with troops, on their way to Washington. This shows that Grant has detached a considerable portion of his army from the front of Petersburg, for the defence of the Yankee Capital. The latest. Just before ten o'clock last night we learned that the Washington Chronicle of the 15th had been received, but all our efforts to find it proved unavailing. It was stated that it acknowledged being mistaken in reporting, on the 14th, the retreat of the Confederates from the front of Washington. From Petersburg.

One of them looked very much like a negro, though his dark complexion may have been the result of a thick coating of dirt. Transports sunk. It was currently reported on Saturday that our batteries near Harrison's Landing, on James river, had succeeded in sinking two of the enemy's transports, and had completely blockaded the river so as to prevent the egress of the Yankee fleet.

We announced on Saturday the wounding and capture of private A. Duvall, Jr, of the Second Howitzers, at Curl's Neck. In an engagement at Wilcox's wharf, on the 13th, private Smith, of Gloucester Point, had his leg shattered, and private Walter Morris was slightly wounded in the leg.

We can but wish it was in our power to record the blowing up of the Federal capitol and other public buildings in Washington as a sequel to the expedition, but we suppose our commanders acted upon the condition of affairs surrounding them. As it turns out the movement will have a good effect, in so far as it shows the Yankees what the Confederates can do. Before this gigantic expedition the raids of Sheridan, Wilson and Kantz dwindle down to a small compass, and may be regarded as really nothing in comparison. A gentleman who came down the Potomac last Tuesday states that the river was literally alive with transports, loaded with troops, on their way to Washington.
