e the 2d instant.--Major General Foster is commanding in person. S. Jones, Maj. Gen. A capture by the enemy. On Tuesday morning, about 4 o'clock, fifty Yankees came ashore at Cox's wharf, on the north side of James river, about thirteen miles below Richmond, and surprised an outpost picket composed of twenty-five men of the City Battalion. The enemy succeeded in capturing fourteen of the number, including a commissioned officer and a sergeant in charge of the detachment. Capt. John Maxwell, of the C. S. Navy, was near at hand with a wagon, containing some professional implements, which also fell into the hands of the enemy, but he succeeded in saving his horse. From the gentleman who gave us the above information, we learn that the Yankee fleet is laying quietly at the lower side of Dutch Gap. It is composed of three 1-turreted and one 2-turreted monitors, two large side-wheel steamers, two propellers, and one small side-wheel steamer. --Last week a transport lande
