Hanover Junction to Gordonsville, upon which it was alleged another raid was projected. What admirable manoeuvring for the benefit of the enemy! Gen. D. H. Hill wrote, yesterday, that we had no troops on the Blackwater except cavalry. I hope he will come here and take command. Gen. Whiting has arrested the Yankee crew of the Arabian, at Wilmington. It appears that she is owned by New Yorkers, sailed from New York, and has a Yankee cargo! Capt. Maury writes from London that R. J. Walker, once a fire-and-fury Mississippi Senator (but Yankee-born), is in Europe trying to borrow £50,000,000 for the United States. Capt.

There has been much praise given to the Washington Artillery and other companies, which they no doubt richly deserve; but, while they are being complimented through the newspapers, would it not be fair to notice some of our Richmond boys, and see what they have been doing? Walker's Artillery Regiment, of A. P. Hill Division, composed of the Purcell, Crenshaw, Davidson, and Johnson Batteries, of Richmond; Braxton's, of Fredericksburg; Latham's, of North Carolina, and McIntosh's, of South Carolina blood as severe a shock of battle as we have had during the war. They were charged upon, and repulsed the charge almost alone, several times during the day at Fredericksburg.--At one time the enemy were within a hundred yards or less of our batteries — so close under th
