Affairs in Northern Virginia. --Parties from the vicinity of Gen. Lee's army represent that matters were entirely quiet yesterday, not even a skirmish occurring to disturb the repose of the army since its return from the pursuit of Meade. We have some few particulars of the capture of the Yankee garrison at Charlestown, on Sunday last, by Gen. Imboden. The enemy, it seems, were not apprised of the approach of our forces until the town was surrounded, and all the avenues of escape cut off. They then repaired to the Court-House, in the yard of which they had built fortifications, and prepared to make a resistance. General Imboden ordered up his artillery, which was placed on a hill south of the town, near where John Brown was hung, and opened fire upon the Court-House square, some of the shells passing through the building. Discovering that they were surrounded and that resistance was useless, the white flag was run up, and the whole Yankee force surrendered. The number o

Meade's losses. --From a source in which we place the utmost confidence, we learn that Meade sent to Norfolk for all the ambulances that could be gotten together. Thence we infer that his losses were very large — larger than we had in the slightest degree suspected. The campaign, we suppose, is over.

o be more humane and gentlemanly in his treatment of the citizens than any commandant that has preceded him. Through the intercession of friends a respite has been granted Dr. Wright, and to-morrow (Friday) has again been set apart for his execution. The suspension of the order for his execution on the 15th was not received until the very morning of the day appointed. A sad and affecting scene was enacted in the jail of Norfolk on Thursday, the 15th. A daughter of Dr. Wright's was united in marriage to a gentleman to whom she had been long affianced, in the presence of her father, and at his special request. The sad circumstances under which these nuptials were solemnized drew tears from the eyes of even the Federal attendants. Great concern is felt in Norfolk by the Yankee officers for the safety of Meade's retreating army, and a large number of wagons and ambulances have been sent off from Washington to supply the places of those taken and destroyed by Lee's forces.

duce to leave, but the officers would not allow them to be forced to go. They arrested a number of citizens and carried them to Washington, among them Messrs. George and David Jameson, handcuffed and in chains. They said they had evidence enough to hang one of them. Mr. Henry Shackelford, David Stallard, S. S. Bradford, Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Farish,--Nash, J. Yates were taken off; and Jack Wood, the jailor, and John Snyder, joined the Yankees and left with them. Snyder went to them when they first came to the county, and told them he was a Union man, and claimed protection of them; however his house was destroyed when they left. It is believed the arrest of the Messrs. Jameson was caused by J. J. Wilberham, a man who resided in Culpeper until Pope's army came there, when he behaved very badly, and was notified by Mr. Jameson that it would not be safe for him to remain in Culpeper, and that if he did not leave he would be hung.--This man is now a sutler with Meade's army.
