From Gen Early, &c.

Petersburg, July 28.
--A telegram from Gen Early states that the Yankees have retreated across the Potomac at Williamsport, burning over 70 wagons and shandoning 12 caissons. Our forces held Martinsburg. --The Yankees retreated in great disorder.

From the north side of James river there is nothing beyond the fact that the enemy's cavalry are on the Charles City road Everything is stagnant in front. The enemy came upon one of our brigades yesterday rather ardently, on the north side of James river, causing them to give back hastily. In so doing four pieces of our artillery fell into the enemy's hands.
