remove it to a place where it can be made available. Our cavalry, who had ridden a long distance without food, found here enough to satisfy all their immediate wants, and men and horses were properly refreshed from the stores left behind by the Yankees in their flight. Measures were taken to prevent a speedy use of the railroad, by the enemy, in the possible event of his return, and after scouring the country in the neighborhood, the cavalry left the While House taking the route towards Charles City. They had two or three skirmishes with the enemy, and secured a number of prisoners, losing none themselves, and having no more than one or two wounded during their entire progress.

its gallantry on the bloody fields of the past week. There is much besides that can be made useful, not withstanding the enemy's attempt at wholesale destruction; many thousand axes, shovels, and other implements, with which the Yankees expected to cut and dig their way to Richmond, and a vast quantity of clothing, blankets, and every article which could not conveniently be carried away on the retreat.

Federal forces.Incidents, &c. Our reports from the scene of operations yesterday were exceedingly meagre, and to obtain really reliable information was decidedly difficult. Of rumors there was no scarcity, from early in the morning until late in the evening. In the forenoon the following dispatch was received at this office and posted upon the bulletin: "Chester, July 3, 1862. "Mr. E. W.

accounts that McClellan's army, after the battle of Tuesday, continued to make a rapid retreat, but with what success remains yet to be developed.

Late on Tuesday night, our pickets in Chesterfield overhauled a fugitive from McClellan's army, who had swam the river, and sought safety in the house of a free negro. The poor creature was famished, had on nothing in the shape of wearing apparel save a shirt, and declared his utter aversion to ever again taking up arms against the Southern Confederacy. This fugitive stated that thousands would have cheerfully joined him in his voyage, but for the fear of meeting a watery grave, and we do not doubt that he spoke the truth. We learn
