A rumor was in circulation yesterday that Hampton had surprised the enemy's camp and put them to rout, but this lacks confirmation.

nd. From the Valley of Virginia. We have received some further intelligence from the Valley. Crook and Averill joined Hunter on Wednesday at Staunton, at which time a portion of their forces were on the Greenville and Middlebrook road. On the same day, at 3 o'clock P. M., five hundred cavalry made a demonstration on Waynesboro', on the Greenville and Staunton road, and were repulsed by Gen. Imboden. The enemy retreated to Staunton, burning the Fishersville Depot on the route. Pope, with a force of 4,000, was reported moving down the Valley to reinforce Hunter. The enemy have no supplies, but subsist off the country. They were doubtless aware of richness of the region into which they have penetrated, and will strip the inhabitants of everything they possess. A dispatch from Mountain Top says our troops are in fine spirits, and anxious to measure strength with the enemy. The Yankee cavalry made another advance on Thursday, but were easily repulsed by Imboden's in

There is no news of interest from Gen. Lee's army. Grant is reported still to be busily engaged in fortifying in our front, and evidently does not design to accept or offer battle again until he is reinforced; even then opinions differ as to whether he will fight in his present position, or attempt to make his way to James river, where he would have the co-operation of the gunboats and Butler's forces on the Southside. Whatever may be his intention, our army is ready to-day to enter into a general engagement, with the utmost confidence as to the result. Accounts from Bottom's Bridge represent everything quiet in that direction. Sheridan's movements.

fore ten the enemy showed himself in overwhelming number filling the road and the woods on both sides. Our breastworks here extended from the residence of Timothy Rives, Esq., on the left, to and across the road and beyond the house of Mr. Wm. A. Gregory, on the right. The enemy manœuvred for a while, thinking probably that our raw troops fight, but never were the Yankee invaders more mistaken. Our men were made of sterner stuff, and inspired by the cool determination of their leaders, Gen. Colston and Col. F. H. Archer, maintained their ground like veterans. Finally the enemy ordered a charge, and came down to our breastworks with a yell, their drawn sabres flashing in the sunlight. When within fort paces of the fortifications the order to fire was given, and the Yankees recoiled and fell back. A prisoner, taken subsequently, states that in this charge the notorious Speare led, and that they had forty wound and two killed. This charge was repeated twice, but with like results, w

— but nevertheless, it is consoling to know, that those who have been so suddenly snatched from them, fell in a glorious cause. Their memories will ever be held in grateful recollection by our people, and this whole community deeply sympathize with the bereaved. The following is a list of the killed and wounded, which, with great care, we have obtained, and which we believe to be correct: Killed. Prof. Stanbly, Professor of French in the Petersburg Female College, formerly of Randolph Macon. Lt. Wales Hurt, aged 18, a son of the late Branch T. Hurt, and a gallant youth. John E. Friend, oldest son of our late Postmaster, Wm. N. Friend, Esq. Deceased leaves a wife and one child. Wm. C. Bannister, for many years and accountant in the Exchange Bank, and one of our best citizens. He leaves a large family. Geo. B. Jones, a prominent druggist of Petersburg, and a most excellent man. John Crowder, of this city, a noble youth. George R. Conway, of Prin

force, and prisoners taken variously estimate it at from three to five thousand. None put the number at less than three thousand, and some say that it was even more than five thousand. There is no doubt but that it was intended to capture this city, and all the circumstances are strongly corroborative of this view. Thanks to a kind Providence, who has nerved the hearts and strengthened the hands of our brave men, we have been again preserved. The enemy crept up behind the residence of Mr. Wm. A Gregory, ascended to the roof, and knocking off the shingles were enabled not only to obtain an excellent view, and ascertain the number of our forces, but through the openings thus made fired upon and killed many of our men behind the breastworks. The residence of Timothy Rives, Esq., fell into the possession of the invaders, after our forces retreated, and the scoundrels not only ransacked and robbed it of all its valuable contents, but then applied the torch, and burnt it to the g
