e me I plunged into the woods, thinking, of course, it was one of our regiments--Thirty-first New-York--and was surprised to find that I had gone right into a perfect nest of the Hampton Legion, from South-Carolina, who were lying behind trees, standing behind bushes, and kneeling behind stumps like bees. I at once perceived my mistake, and knew that nothing but the most consummate coolness would save me. I therefore saluted them, and they, taking me for a rebel officer, asked me how far Gen. Hampton was then. I answered without hesitation, and with rather more assurance than I thought I possessed, I left him about ten rods below here, and added, now, boys, the General expects you to do your duty to-day. I then turned my horse slowly to lull suspicion, and was congratulating myself on the probable success of my ruse, when seeing the U. S. on my cap, they yelled out: That's a d — n Yankee son of a b — h, give him h — l! On hearing this, I dashed the spurs into my horse, threw my hea<

pectator of the panorama of the burning of Moscow, and with the immense flame that it threw forth made the scene one of terrible grandeur. Letter from General Wool. In a private letter to a friend in New-York, Gen. Wool wrote: The whole affair of the capture of Norfolk was done in twenty-seven hours. My course was by water twelve miles, and by land thirty-six, on horseback. My friend D----will tell you I am a hard rider. I do not think he will care to ride <*>ith me again to Hampton and back. I found by examination, on Friday morning, that I could land troops without much trouble at Ocean View, six miles from Fortress Monroe. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Chase, and my aid-de-camp, Col. Cram, were with me. We returned to the fort at two o'clock. I immediately organized a force of less than six thousand men, and embarked them during the night under the direction of Col. Cram. The Colonel constructed a bridge of boats, and landed the troops at the point named

we advance into Richmond. It is a grand satisfaction, permit me to say in conclusion, that Sedgwick's splendid division fought and gloriously thrashed the famous Hampton legion. More than a hundred of them are buried on this field. But they fought long, and learned how firm the Yankees stand fire. W. D. B. Casey's division ieg leave to ask the attention of the government especially to the manner in which Brig.-Generals Whiting and R. H. Anderson, and Colonels Jenkins, and Kemper, and Hampton, exercising commands above their grades, and Brig.-Gen. Rhodes, are mentioned. This, and the captured colors, will be delivered by Major A. H. Cole, of my stafurs before, neither side having yielded an inch. The enemy of course fought with great bravery. In this fight we have given but a few of the casualties. Colonel Wade Hampton was slightly wounded in the foot, Dr. E. S. Gallard, Medical Director to General Smith's corps, was severely wounded in the arm. It was amputated yesterday

It also affords me pleasure to mention the faithful services of the members of my sk, but the embankment remained in its possession. While this was going on, the battery of the First brigade, under Capt. Hampton, was ordered to march along the outer edge of the woods, in which Col. Schimmelfennig was engaged, and to take positirotect and facilitate the advance of my right. But the cross-fire of two of the enemy's batteries was so severe that Capt. Hampton's battery failed in two successive attempts to establish itself, until I sent Captain Rohmer's battery to its supportghth New-York, the Twenty-ninth New-York, and the Seventy-third Pennsylvania, together with Capt.

ry, under General Pleasanton, with six pieces of artillery, drove back our pickets yesterday in front of Shepherdstown. The Ninth Virginia cavalry, which was on picket, repulsed the enemy several times by vigorous charges, disputing the ground step by step, back to the main body. By the time his artillery reached him, Col. W. F. H. Lee, who was in command of the brigade, was obliged to place it on the west bank of the Opequon, on the flank of the enemy, as he approached Martinsburgh. Gen. Hampton's brigade had retired through Martinsburgh, on the Tuscarora road, when Gen. Stuart arrived and made dispositions to attack. Lee's brigade was advanced immediately, and Hampton's ordered forward. The enemy retired at the approach of Lee along the Shepherdstown road, and was driven across the Potomac by the cavalry, with a severe loss, and darkness alone prevented it from being a signal victory. His rear was overtaken and put to flight, our cavalry charging in gallant style under a seve
