The ball has opened. We understand from a gentleman who left Winchester on Tuesday night that Patterson had advanced from Martinsburg and was within four miles of Winchester. Gen. Johnston was anticipating an early attack and our troops were eager to meet them, and, in facts sent up shout after shout in token of their joy at the prospect of striking a blow for their loved South. There is also no doubt that the ball has opened at Fairfax Court-House, fourteen miles from Alexandria and thirteen from Manassas. It is said that Gen. Scott commands in person at Alexandria. The attack commenced yesterday morning, and a general engagement will, doubtless, take place to-day.

m the Upper Potomac--Gen. Johnston's Division. Camp Near Winchester, Va., July 14, 1861. Your readers have already been fully informed of our little skirmish near Falling Waters, in Berkeley county, with the enemy under the command of Gen. Patterson, who had about 13,000 men, while we only had, all told, 2,500, and yet their accounts of it give us 10,000. Our loss was only three killed and eight wounded, and we know almost certainly that they buried 130 on the field, and carried off a gg ourselves in a disadvantageous locality, and nearly surrounded by superior numbers, we retreated several miles this side of Martinsburg, and, having been reinforced by General Johnston, offered the enemy a fair fight on an open field; but General Patterson had no idea of meeting General Johnston on anything near an even footing. They must have two to one of us and the advantage of position, or they will never venture close enough to be seen. They are now strongly fortified in the town of Ma

d Press, and particularly of the New York Herald, and some young gentleman, representing himself as Mr. Underhill, reporter for the Associated Press and the New York Times. Lieut. Kirkpatrick, of the 23d Regiment, shot his servant (a white soldier, named Biddle,) dead, yesterday, by accident. The weather here is exceedingly hot at noonday, and some of our men are suffering greatly for want of shade, as only about four tents for each company were brought across the Potomac. Col. Patterson's Regiment is accepted for three years, and the officers received their commissions yesterday. An incident occurred the other day while I was standing by. A man came up to Major Spear, Provost Marshal, and asked if he could write a letter to his father-in-law, in Baltimore, as he had received no news from him for two months. The Major answered the gentleman, "Certainly; we came to open, not to close your mails." Col. Sigel. Col. Sigel, who commanded the Federal troops in th

Important from Winchester — advance movement of Gen. Patterson. The following interesting intelligence from Winchester has been furnished the Lynchburg Republican, by a gentleman who left that place on Monday afternoon last, at two o'clock: About 12 o'clock, two or three of our scouts arrived in camp, who reported that the enemy, in full force, were advancing on Winchester, and that they were then only a few miles off — their artillery entirely occupying the main road, while their in, under Gen. Johnston, were immediately made ready to give the Hessians a warm reception, and our informant says there can be no doubt that a decisive battle has already been fought. The enemy's forces, immediately under the command of General Patterson, are said to be about 30,000 strong, while about 10,000 are within a short distance, on the opposite side of the Potomac, ready to reinforce him at any moment. General Johnston had not entirely completed his fortifications, but so far

ught the passengers taken on the captured vessels, and who had been set at liberty. We met the Hon. John A. Wharton, one of the liberated passengers, from whom we received the following information: Mr. Wharton was a passenger on the Shark, which left Berwick on Sunday before the steamer Ranger, and therefore bringing no later news. The other passengers with him were Messrs. B. B. Blydenburg, John Redman and Morgan L. Smith, also a family, name not remembered. Captains Jeamison and Patterson, partners of the Shark,) were also along, and the officers and crews of all the schooners. The Shark tell in with the war steamer just after daylight — being too near when seen to attempt an escape. She was taken at five A. M., when the passengers and crew of the schooner were all taken on board the steamer, where they were kept all day and treated in a very gentlemanly manner by Capt. Alden, but in a very ungentlemanly manner by the Lieutenant named Wilson. They received a good Fou
