e of the horses from his pieces,) galloped forward, and hitching on to the force captured guns and four caissons brought them off in the face of the enemy, and gallantly offered them to Capt. Meanly as the trophies gained by the flue service of his pieces. Thus, in forty minutes our glorious fellows had marched nearly two miles, captured three pieces, four caissons, twelve horses, and seven prisoners. The killed and wounded of the enemy could not have been short of one hundred men. Gen. Johnston was present during the fight, and appeared to enjoy it exceedingly. When the rear guard was ordered to "about face," such a cheer went up from then, as the good folks of Williamsburg will long remember. It is absurd to talk of whipping men who, after marching eighteen hours without rest or food, and heavily packed, will, at a chance of a fight, crop their knapsacks and with a soul-stirring cheer, seize their muskets and run a race for nearly two miles to meet the enemy.

vital consequence. The skies begin to grow brighter. Every day we hear of victories upon a small scale, which are, we are very sanguine in believing, but the forerunners of great events. Even the little panic which beset the city last Friday, in connection with the river, has been of essential service. We are warranted in saying that if the enemy get here, it will not be by means of his steamboats up the river. Nor can be reach us by a march from the Peninsula, where the cold steel of Johnston's troops effectually bare the way. At every step he takes on this line, he removes himself farther from his gunboats, and without his gunboats he can do nothing. Our troops on this line are in the highest spirit, and desire nothing so much as a battle. They are in no disposition to count numbers. They feel confident that they will beat the enemy wherever the fight shall come off. Nor do we apprehend anything from the direction of Petersburg. The authorities had well considered that ques

Surgeon's certificate. A certificate of attendance at the Pennsylvania Hospital during the year 1860 61, belonging to Dr. Patrick H. C. Noble, was found on the field of battle near Williamsburg, and is now at the hardware store of Johnston and Bransford, Main street, where it can be had on application. No person with whom we have conversed seemed to know the owner. We presume he belongs to our own army.

Longstreet's Division. We understand General Johnston expressed great admiration of the manner in which Longstreet and his men repelled the enemy at Williamsburg. The strict discipline of a year had improved their efficiency wonderfully, and they did not seem to be the same division that had fought at Manassas, although at Manassas they covered themselves with glory.
