Our regiments then proceeded to perform their work — the destruction of the bridge — in the execution of which they were at first annoyed by the enemy's long-range guns, until Marye sent them howling away by a few well-directed charges of grape and shell. They succeeded in burning the bridge, tearing up some of the railroad, and then returned to the main body on Monday. They lost in the engagement two men in each regiment, and several wounded. Colonels Rust, Fulkerson, and Carson, and Majors Manning and Williams, were in the thickest of the fight, and nobly led their men on; but their gallant men did not need much enticing to engage their hated foe. I regret to say that Captain Alexander, of Company I, Third Arkansas, lost an arm in this engagement. Both of these regiments belong to Colonel Wm. B. Taliaferro's Fourth brigade, and the other two--Twenty-third and First Georgia--were on picket-duty from Saturday night till Tuesday morning, when our army proceeded to return, having acc

Arrival of General Beauregard and Staff. --This distinguished officer, accompanied by Ex-Governor Manning, of South Carolina, Major D. R. Jones, Captains Chisholm, Haymond and Manning, arrived in Richmond yesterday, at noon, on the train from Petersburg. Hundreds of citizens and soldiers gathered to give them welcome, and it was not without great difficulty that Beauregard was taken from the cars, hurried through the crowd, and driven in a private carriage to his headquarters at the ExchManning, arrived in Richmond yesterday, at noon, on the train from Petersburg. Hundreds of citizens and soldiers gathered to give them welcome, and it was not without great difficulty that Beauregard was taken from the cars, hurried through the crowd, and driven in a private carriage to his headquarters at the Exchange. The people surrounded the vehicle, cheered, shook him by the hand, and seemed satisfied to touch even the "hem of his garment."--Modestly acknowledging these demonstrations, he avoided them as quickly as possible, and turned the nearest corner to escape the detonating cheers that followed the carriage on every side. For a moment he stopped at the Spotswood, to pay his compliments to the President, but that gentleman being absent, he proceeded on his way to his own hotel. It is prop

Wigfall, Beauregard, Lee, Johnston, Bonham, Huger, Wise, and the host of brave men gathered around them, we cannot but triumph over all opposition. There are now upon the soil of Virginia some of the best blood and talent of our country; men who have adorned the fireside, forum and the field; men who have staked "their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor;" men who will never turn their backs upon the enemy until he has been driven from the State. South Carolina has sent her Manning, Preston, and Huger; Louisiana her Beauregard; Georgia her Toombs, and Texas her Wigfall. Other States have likewise contributed their brightest and best names to the galaxy, hundreds of whom are in the ranks as private soldiers; while every family in old Virginia that ever had a position has sent its representative men to do their share in the coming conflict. With such leaders and such followers, we are invincible, and though, in the language of the brave Tatnall, "blood is thicker than
