The battle at Drainsville.

We publish this morning a full account of the Drainsville fight, from our regular army correspondent. There is nothing to add to the minute details there given, except a report which reached us last evening, that the troops which were subsequently sent on to retrieve the reverses of Friday, were unable to find the enemy. The Yankees undoubtedly suffered severely, and lost no time in retiring to their strong position about Alexandria.--The report of the death of Col. Tom Taylor, circulated on Saturday evening, is, we are gratified to say, erroneous.
