Marshal's office, were found well supplied with fresh onions, which some of the rasea's stated that they had taken from the gardens of the Prince George people to keep them from "spilcing." We learned last night that our troops engaged the enemy yesterday afternoon near the Weldon road, and after a short but sharp fight, repulsed them handsomely. The enemy's movement was watched by a party of our scouts, who first discovered them about 12 o'clock, near Mr. Richard Williams's farm, in Dinwiddie, a half mile west of the Jerusalem Plankroad, and some three miles from the Weldon road. They consisted of Hancock's 2d corps and a brigade of cavalry. We captured Lieut Col Romer B Stonghton, of the 2d. U. S. Sharpshooters, a Captain, and some ten or twelve privates.

About 2 o'clock P. M heavy firing was heard on our extreme right, to the rear of Wells's old place, in Dinwiddie, about two miles from Butterworth's bridge. The firing was rapid, and the discharges of musketry were plainly heard by persons residing in the suburbs in that portion of the city. The report that a fight was progressing in that direction spread rapidly through the city, and many hastened where they supposed they would be enabled to witness the battle.

lly introduced to Captain Semmes by the Speaker of the House. Business was then resumed, and Captain Semmes remained a witness of the proceedings for a few minutes and retired. Mr. Staples, of Patrick, submitted the following resolution, and was heard in its advocacy: "Resolved, That the Committee of Courts of Justice inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill to provide for the calling of a convention of the people of Virginia." Mr. Haymond, of Marion, opposed the reference of the resolution, and the House refused to refer. The preamble and resolutions adopted by the Fourteenth Virginia infantry, Stewart's brigade, Pickett's division, adopted at a meeting of the command, and having reference to the war and peace, were received in the House and read.
