We have received Northern papers of Wednesday, the 8th instant. Gold was quoted at 211. The fight at Hatcher's run — the Yankees lose heavily. The Yankee troops engaged in the affair at Hatcher's run on Monday were the whole of the Fifth corps, two divisions of the Second corps, and a part of the Third corps, with a division of cavalry.

The correspondents state that the crossing of the river was accomplished without much resistance, and entrenchments were then thrown up on the other side, within which the Yankee troops lay. A letter says: At about 2 o'clock, the enemy opened with artillery upon General Smyth's line from a fort in his front; but the firing was very wild, doing no damage, and soon ceased. From that time until 5 o'clock, save an occasional shot, all was "quiet along the lines." At that hour, a division of the enemy, which had been brought down from his left, made a fierce attack on the Second brigade of the Second division and the Third brig

The news. From the Petersburg lines. Everything was quiet on the lines about Petersburg yesterday. There has been no fighting in that neighborhood since last Monday. A frequent cannonade is kept up between our Chesterfield batteries and the enemy's batteries along the Appomattox. A sharp conflict of this character took place on Wednesday night, and lasted from 8 o'clock till midnight. Each army is busily engaged strengthening their lines on Hatcher's run. We regret to learn that in the battle of last Monday the Twelfth Virginia regiment suffered considerably. The following is a list of the casualties in this regiment: Killed — W. D. Wilson, S. D. Vaughan, R. H. Pettaway, G. A. Spence. Wounded.--D. C. Taylor, J. C. Bishop, Ro. S. Eckles, Lieutenant B. W. Grasswitt, Corporal D. M. Dunlop, James E. Orr, Hamilton Martin, W. H. Scott, G. S. Bernard, Sergeant J. Chappell, Corporal J. W. Seward, Lieutenant J. P. Sale, Sergeant L. Walker, R. J. House, R. M. Mannin

Camp Ewell, February 7, 1865, 11 o'clock P. M. Since writing to you on yesterday, notwithstanding the severe snow and sleet which now bids fair to put an end to military operations on these lines, there has been an almost continuous engagement near Hatcher's run. Shortly after writing yesterday morning, our division (Gordon's) was ordered back to camp. All were congratulating themselves that the movement was over, and were preparing warm dinners, when suddenly orders came to move at once.--Many a poor soldier looked back with disappointment at his dough just ready for the oven, or his peas, not yet boiling briskly; yet they moved off cheerfully, and soon came up to the assistance of Johnson's brigade of North Carolina troops, who were on picket opposite the point at which, on Sunday, our picket line was captured. This brigade acted nobly; and although the enemy advanced in force upon their picket line with two whole corps, they held their ground until reinforced by Evans'
