eport the most extravagant lies with great prodigality. They do not willfully intend to deceive, but, of course, circulate such stories as are told to them. I saw in the Dispatch, of yesterday, that the story of the taking of Hall's Hill was believed in Richmond. Not a word of it was true; nor have there been above eight or ten of our men anywhere in the vicinity. I warn you again to put little trust in the reports that are brought down by the daily train from Manassas. Our men hold Munson's and Mason's Hills, but have made no attempt to extend the line.

Goldsborough, I understand, had none seriously injured. His success was complete, having driven the enemy from a strong position — the miserable vandals in their retreat destroying a quantity of hay, to keep it from falling into the hands of our troops. It is impossible to say how long this condition of things will last. Every one here has confidence in our leaders, and every one is satisfied all i
