t, Virginia, March 24, 1865. General: On the 29th instant the armies operating against Richmond will be moved by our left, for the double purpose of turning the enemy out of his present position around Petersburg, and to ensure the success of the cavalry under General Sheridan, which will start at the same time, in its efforts to reach and destroy the Southside and Danville railroads. Two corps of the army of the Potomac will be moved first, in two columns, taking the two roads crossing Hatcher's run nearest where the present line held by us strikes that stream, both moving towards Dinwiddie court-house. The cavalry, under General Sheridan, joined by the division now under General Davies, will move at the same time, by the Weldon road and the Jerusalem plank-road, turning west from the latter before crossing the Nottoway, and west with the whole column before reaching Stony creek. General Sheridan will then move independently under other instructions, which will be given him. A

utiful eminence on the farm of Mr. John D. Warren, Camp Hill, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country, and associated with many stirring memories as having been the place where the troops were encamped in the last war with great Britain.--A beautiful pole, sixty feet high, had been erected, and all the preparations being completed, Miss Lucy W. Childrey, accompanied by several other young ladies, appeared upon the platform, and after a fervent and appropriate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hatcher, proceeded to hoist the flag. Unfolding itself to the breeze, as it ascended, its appearance was greeted with loud and enthusiastic cheers.--The band played "Dixie," and the military fired a salute. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, farther proceedings were adjourned to the drill room of the Southern Guard, where the assembly was addressed by Mr. John D. Warren in an able and eloquent speech upon the propriety and necessity for Virginia's immediately resuming her sovereign

may be super in consequence of this great reverse at the of his career. Other verbal accounts of the battle on Monday represent that the scene at the river, when the enemy attempted to recross, was fearful. The rattle of musketry, and the crack of the Mississippi rifle, mingled with shrinks of drowning men, and the panic was scarcely less wide spread than that of of July, just three months before.--The Federal prisoners, numbering 523, were under guard on the battle field of Manassas yesterday morning. Later. Among the casualties on our side were the following: Lieut. Benjamin G. Carter, 8th Virginia, slightly wounded. Privates Hatcher and of the same regiment, killed.--Majors Martin and Brock, thought to be of Mississippi, badly wounded. Col. Burt's wound, though severe, is not considered mortal. Col. Tebbs is Lieut. Col. of the 8th Virginia. The First Company of Howitzers were not in the fight, no artillery having been engaged on our side.

Arrests by the Police. --The police yesterday arrested William, slave of Meredith Brown, for stealing $2.50 from J. E. L. Masourier. The darkey was a runaway at the time. Officer Gentry arrested a negro named Jim Robinson (one of Hatcher & Webster's drivers) for being implicated in the abduction of Mr. Persons Walker's trunk, and $200 therein contained. In searching the premises occupied by him the officer found, next to the slats of his bed, a breach-loading flintlock musket, inscribed "U. S., North Middleton, Conn., 1834." It was evidently stolen from a Government wagon, or private soldier, and concealed for sinister purposes. It can be reclaimed by the owner's going to the cage.

Mounted Guerrillas. --We are gratified to learn that Captain Bolivar Ward, who has done most efficient service in Western Virginia as a guerrilla leader, is now in Richmond for the purpose of increasing his company to the maximum standard, and, if possible, to raise a battalion of mounted rangers. His destination the Yankees will no doubt discover to their sorrow at an early day. We would advise all daring young men, fond of adventure and excitement, to call upon Captain Ward at once, at his rendezvous, at the corner of Franklin street and Locust Alley. We need only add that he has had experience in partizan warfare in the Rocky Mountains with Carson, Beckwith, and Hatcher, and accompanied Colonel Doniphan, of Missouri, in his famous expedition through Northern Mexico.
