The affair at Williamsburg.

In his attack on the enemy at Williamsburg, on Saturday last. Gen. Wise succeeded in driving him to Fort Magruder, from which, as was stated yesterday, fire was opened upon the town. No material damage was done, however, either to life or property. Whilst Gen. W. was engaging the enemy in front, Col. Tebb, at the head of a regiment of cavalry, succeeded in gaining his rear, and report says destroyed about $100.000 worth of stores. Our loss in the affair very slight.
