The artillery rendered efficient service on every part of the field, and greatly assisted in the defeat of the enemy. The batteries were exposed to an unusually heavy fire of artillery and infantry, which officers and men sustained with a coolness and courage worthy of the highest praise. Those on our right, being without defensive works, suffered more severely. Among those who fell was Lieutenant-Colonel Coleman, First regiment Virginia artillery, who was mortally wounded while bravely discharging his duty. To the vigilance, boldness, and energy of General Stuart and his cavalry is chiefly due the early and valuable information of the movements of the enemy. His reconnoissances frequently extended within the Federal lines, resulting in skirmishes and engagements in which the cavalry was greatly distinguished. In the battle of Fredericksburgh, the cavalry effectually guarded our right,

sing result to leave so many helpless families at home by the call of the regiment, when it is well known that this county has furnished its full 10 per cent. quota of its entire population. Richmond and other counties adjacent have obtained its volunteers and has been credited accordingly, and unless this credit be given to Hanover, where it properly belongs, the drafts on this county will be larger than others. During this week Rev. Mr. Harrison's company at the Old Church has been organized. Yesterday, Professor Coleman's company (the Morris Artillery,) had nearly 100 on its muster roll, and another company is being raised by Mr. Meredith (son of Judge Meredith) and Major Pichegrue Woolfolk, and when mustered in, the 10 per cent. quota required of the county will be complete. Colonel Wm. Winn was elected in the place of Colonel George Richardson, now in the Confederate service. At present there are four dragoon companies drilling and preparing for efficient service. C. R.

It has been excessively hot here for the last three days, and has so dried the earth that dense clouds of dust are seen on the parade ground when the various cavalry companies are drilling. High praise is due to Capt. Lewis M. Coleman for his masterly efforts in organizing a volunteer corps, in this county, which were crowned with so much success. We listened to him a few evenings since while he was making a most eloquent appeal to the young men of the county to enroll themselves in the service of their country. Dyke.
