Officers and men emulated the example of the chief they loved so well.--At length war's clarion again burst forth on the car and, responding to the call, Wheat's sabre flashed in the Valley by the side of the heroic Jackson, and in eight engagements the fame of "Wheat's Battalion" was the themes of every tongue. At the final struggle of Port Republic, when "Ringold's celebrated battery" was captured by the "Louisiana Brigade," Wheat's sonorous voice was heard rising high above the crash of the conflict, his form seemed to dilate, and his eye to flash fire as the earth rang with the "earthquake shout of victory." With eighty-five men (the relies of his once proud corps) he again rushed on danger and doom on Friday evening last in front of our Capital. Struck by a rifle bullet in the head, as he rolled from his horse he called out to his men, with unus

as we learn from a member of the 18th, Colonel Withers's regiment. It behaved with more than its usual gallantry. We have not been able to understand the exact number of wounded and killed in either the 8th, 18th, 19th, or 28th regiments composing it; but our informant, who is a member of the 18th, represents it as necessarily very large. Among the wounded is Adjutant McCulloch of the 18th, who has distinguished himself without being injured on the fields of Manassas, Williamsburg, the 1st of June, on Friday last, and seemed to bear a charmed life. He fell wounded most painfully in the arm. So cut up is this regiment by the four battles in which it has been engaged that it is now commanded by Captain Holland, of the Danville Blues, the second ranking captain in the regiment. Col. R. E. Withers. The many friends of this gallant officer will be glad to learn that well-grounded hopes of his recovery are entertained. He received three wounds--two of them slight, and the other

Scott, Lieutenant Colonel of the 3d Regiment Virginia Infantry, who was struck by a shell and instantly killed on that memorable occasion, while gallantly leading his men in a charge on a battery of the enemy. Col Scott was for many years CaptainScott was for many years Captain of the Petersburg Grays, but at the opening of the war was made a Major in the State service, subsequently being promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the 3d Virginia Regiment, Pryor's Brigade. He acted with conspicuous gallantry at the battle of Williamsburg. In social life he was genial, high toned and generous; as a soldier, brave even to indifference toward danger, and was the idol of his men.--His memory will long be cherished by those who knew him, and they were many.

Their Generals did everything possible to retrieve their losses, but the men could not be prevailed upon to stand; hence, in the wildest manner, they threw away arms and accoutrements, abandoning to our hands not less than seventeen fine field pieces, hundreds of small arms and stores. It is reported that during the fight Gen. Hocker was killed on the field, Gen. Kearney wounded, and Gen. Sumner taken prisoner. Their whole loss is estimated at 5,000, killed, wounded, and prisoners. Our casualties are not yet known, but it is asserted by competent authority that it will not amount to more than one-tenth that of the enemy. From all accounts, we are compelled to say that both infantry and artillery behaved as they always do — magnificently; the Federal artillery being assailed by our men with such fury that they were

Those brigades of Longstreet's division (Wilcox's, Pryor's and Featherstone's, &c.,) maintained their reputation, and added to the laurels won on many fields, of glory.--Among the brigades which were present or participated in the fight, we may mention Pender's, Archer's, Fields, and Branch's. Of Gen. Huger's engagement in the morning, and which delayed his junction with Longstreet, we have not as yet a certained anything definite.

In the morning the bridge was speedily repaired, and the forces of Hill and Jackson were again in pursuit of the foe. The result of the first dash was a prize of 200 prisoners. This does not include either the sick or wounded in the hospital which here fell into our possession. It was thought that by the energy of Jackson and Jackson and Hill, acting in unity with Longstreet and Magruder, at least the whole rear guard of the "grand army" would be captured by nightfall of yesterday. On Monday afternoon a severe fight came off near the intersection of the Darbytown and Charles City roads. About four o'clock, the division of Gen. Longstreet came up with the enemy at that point who were in strong force and position, and a battle, farce and desperate, ensued. The enemy are represented to have resisted the valorous onsets of ou

Plane, of the 6th Georgia regiment. Among the prisoners are several officers. A dispatch fell into the hands of General Hill, from Gen. Kearney, which seems to have been addressed to Gen. Franklin, requesting him to send two brigades instantn on the stream, immediately opposite Gen. Hill, and the courier coming forward with the dispatch, and seeing the same guns in position, rode down the hill and was captured by a private in the 12th Alabama regiment. His horse is now sodden by Capt. Plane, who had previously less his own.
