them. At one time, during Saturday's fight, a whole brigade of the enemy stampeded on the first fire from our brave men. Up to last night there had been but seven deaths in the Receiving Hospital since the wounded had commenced arriving. We append a list of a portion of the officers and men received there Sunday night: Col W H Cook, 11th Ala, wounded in right hand; Lieut J J Walker, co E, 46th N C, face; Lt Wm of Tuck, co K, 3d Va. left side; Lt T G Crawford, co B, 26th Ga, foot; Lt W Hamilton, Phillips's Ga Legion, left breast; H C Wardell, co G, 2d Va, arm; Sgt W W Ward, co J, 44th Va, left shoulder, W B Sullivan, co D, 44th Va, arm; J H Rakes, co B, 42d Va, right shoulder; Capt G D Wilcox, co A, 61 Ga; J W Perkins, co F, 44th Va, head; Lt J W Pettus, co C, 37th N C, head and knee; W Barratt, co H, 31 Va, arm; R.

e bodies of troops, that a general engagement between the two armies would take place on Friday. This expectation was disappointed, and the fight of that day amounted to little more than preliminary skirmishing for position, most of the firing being on the part of the slowly advancing columns of the enemy. Before nightfall the firing ceased, and by all parties it was believed that the issue would be fully joined at daydawn on Saturday morning. With this view the divisions of D. H. Hill and Ewell (the latter commanded by General Barly) were ordered up from the extreme right in the direction of Port Royal, and about 9 o'clock on Saturday morning took position to the west of the railroad, and near Hamilton's crossing. Before there arrival, however, our line of battle had been formed — the right wing consisting of A. P. Hill's and Tallaferro's divisions, and the left and centre formed by the divisions of Longstreet's corps, and extending to within three fourths of a mile of Fredericksb

Hill's and Tallaferro's divisions, and the left and centre formed by the divisions of Longstreet's corps, and extending to within three fourths of a mile of Frederich contesting the ground with more than usual obstinacy. Here and to the left of the right wing, the battle raged for perhaps an hour, our troops engaged being A. P. Hill's division and a portion of Barly's and Tallaferro's forces. Meanwhile, the enemy's columns were observed to falter, and presently to recede, when it very sooney soon full back in the direction of the river. This the heavy fighting on the right of the line, and the battle was principally fought and won by the troops of Hill's division, aided at times by the other troops of Jackson's corps. Whilst these operations were going on on the right, Longstreet's corps was hotly engaged wi

ore trial of their strength; but as the day wore on it became apparent that they were not disposed to make another attack so soon after the signal repulse of Saturday. Our information from the field last night warrants the conviction that there was no general fight yesterday. As our own forces are acting entirely on the defensive, it may be several days before the regular engagement, which is to try the strength of the two armies, occurs. Incidents. After the severe wound of Gen. Gregg was received, he sent for Gen. Jackson, with whom he had a long interview. When it was announced that the wound was considered mortal, he requested one of his aids to send several messages to different friends in South Carolina.--Among others was one to Gov. Pickens, which was reported to us as follows: "Tell Gov. Pickens, if I am to die at this time, I yield my life cheerfully, fighting for the independence of South Carolina."

Pickens, which was reported to us as follows: "Tell Gov. Pickens, if I am to die at this time, I yield my life cheerfully, fighting for the independence of South Carolina." On the left, where the fighting was intensely severe, the brigades of South Carolinian, commanded by Gen. Kershaw, suffered heavily. The 3d regiment of S. C. volunteers was nearly annihilated. In the early part of the engagement their Colonel, Lieut-Colonel, and Major, were all wounded, and the command devolved upon the senior Captain, who was killed in fifteen minutes after assuming the command. His place was supplied by the second senior Captain, and he, too, fell mortally wounded in a very short time. Wounded received in Richmond. On Sunday night the Fredericksburg cars brought down ei

of heavy-guns. The result of the day's bloody work is easily summed up. At every point of attack the enemy were effectually repulsed, and at night our forces slept on their arms on the ground occupied by them in the morning. The number of prisoners taken during the day is variously estimated from 600 to 1,000 and we think will reach the latter figure.--Among these are a number of minor officers. In conversation with one of them — a man of more than ordinary intelligence — he stated that Burnside's forces did not exceed 100,000 men, and that no confidence is felt among the troops that they will be successful in the straggle now in progress, and which resulted with such decided advantage to our arms on Saturday. He says, that at no time since the war commenced has there been a more despondent feeling among their troops. On Sunday morning Gen. Lee expressed himself as highly gratified with the result of the previous day's work. He thinks our loss cannot exceed 1,200 in killed a
