Some ten of our videttes are missing, though it is believed that most of them will return to camp. Two of the enemy's cavalry were killed by the pickets in their retreat. Yesterday our scouts reported that the enemy had fallen back three miles beyond the bridge. Seven prisoners were brought in by the scouts, and one of them, who seems to be an intelligent man, states that McClellan has not more than 55,000 men; that sickness is alarmingly thinning their ranks, and that on Monday afternoon last three divisions, under command of Gens.

It is nMalvern Hill, on Tuesday, we learn that our notice of yesterday was in the main correct, our forces having been driven from that position. It is not certain that any attempt was yesterday made to regain the hill by our troops. One report states that a force was sent down, and after a brisk fight was repulsed, whilst another represents that the position was recovered without serious opposition. It is more than probable, from information received late last evening that our

It is well known, however, that this latter statement, if not wholly untrue, is greatly exaggerated.

On reaching Verdon station, they learned that a severe fight was in progress, between the enemy and the forces of Gen. Stuart, at a point some five miles form the station, in Caroline county, and the position of the two forces was such as to warrant the hope that the Federal troops engaged would be captured. At Hanover Junction, an absurd report was in calculation that Stuart had been repulsed with the loss of two regiments and three pieces of artillery. As his force consisted solely of cavalry and artillery, those who understood the position of affairs gave no credit to this rumor.
