ille, has been found inside of our lines. No accurate estimate of the enemy's loss can be given, but it is believed to be quite heavy. The Ambulance Committee from Richmond, and a Committee for the Wounded from Lynchburg, have arrived, and are giving our wounded every attention. The weather this evening is quite hot and sultry.

Yesterday evening, between sundown and dark, Brig Gen Gordon's Georgia brigade, of Early's division, and Brig Gen R D Johnston's N C brigade, of Rodes's division, executed a brilliant flank movement on our extreme left, and another on our extreme right, at a point about four miles above Germanna ford. The result may be briefly stated — in the capture of some four hundred men and two Brigadier Generals: Seymour, of Florida notoriety, and Shaler, of New York, formerly a Captain in the S
. Our losses will reach seven thousand. It is estimated that we have in our possession nearly two thousand of the enemy's wounded. Late this evening details were made on our left wing to bury the dead. I am gratified to say that Lieut Gen Longstreet is much better. He will be removed to-morrow from his camp, where he has been staying, to Lynchburg. Detachments and squads of prisoners continue to come in all the time. It is rumored here to-night, and believed, that Sedgwick was killed last night by Gordon and Johnston when they executed their flank movement. The Yankee Generals who were captured report the death of Brig Gen Hays, of their army. Much hard fighting has been done by all the troops, but Ewell and his men are the heroes of the fight. X.

Indeed Ewell, who is always up to time and in action covered himself all over with glory, as did his gallant Major Generals--Johnson, Rodes, and Early. Gen Lee, when he heard of their success, said "I always rely upon the second corps for hard fighting. Give them my thanks." Whilst the infantry were thus engaged the cavalry were not idle. Rosser with his single brigade fought Wilson's, formerly Kilpatrick's, cavalry division all day Thursday, and finally succeeded in forcing it to give back. His loss was about two hundred as well as I can uncertain. Commencement of the fight Friday.
