Averill's movements — reported advance towards Staunton.

On Saturday last the War Department was advised that, with a heavy force of cavalry and mounted infantry, he was advancing on Lewisburg, with the supposed intention of pushing his way to the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad with a view of intercepting railroad communication with Gen. Longstreet, and yesterday we had a rumor that he was approaching Staunton by way of McDowell.
This latter report, we are inclined to believe, is without foundation, as the passengers by the Central train last night state that le excitement existed at Staunton yesterday morning.
It is probable that the information received at the War Department more nearly approaches the whereabouts of Averill and his commands and he may are this have reached Lewisburg.

Capture of two companies of our cavalry on the Peninsula.
Two companies of our cavalry were captured by the enemy on Sunday morning near Charles City Court-House.
The facts, as we have obtained them, with reference to the affair, would seem to indicate a lack of vigilance on the part of our troops at that point.
On Sunday morning, an hour after sunrise, the whole of Major Robertson's command, consisting of two companies of the 42d Virginia battalion of cavalry, were completely surprised, and, with one or two exceptions, all the men captured.
It is said that the surprise was so complete as not to admit of resistance.
The capturing force was composed of cavalry, and came up on the main road from Williamsburg.
It was reported here yesterday morning that the enemy had destroyed the village of Charles City Court-House, but later in the day the report was contradicted.
They did, however, burn two or three buildings in the place.
