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.

Longstreet, and yesterday we had a rumor that he was approaching Staunton by way of McDowell.

From the Lower Valley we have a report that the Yankees, about three thousand strong, moved up from Harper's Ferry, by way of Berryville, to Front Royal, last week.

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.
ncluding accoutrements, are now manufactured in the United States. Of the Yankee army 13 per cent is now in hospitals. They are distributed in 182 general hospitals. The mortality this year has been less than the preceding one. During the year 1,755 miles of military telegraph lines were constructed, making 5,326 miles now in operation. Over these about 3,300 messages pass every day. The following is the Secretary's brief notice of the army of the Potomac. "The armies of Gen. Meade and Gen. Lee now occupy relatively nearly the same position as at the date of my last annual report. The numerous combats and engagements between detachments of these armies have been attended with perhaps equal loss on both sides, and without any material advantage to either." In the report of the Secretary of the Interior the only thing of interest that we find is the fact that 450 negroes who didn't want to go were shipped to Hayti, and that there is great prejudice in the free S
