fence with about 35 of his company, and charge the Zouaves through their centre. In doing this, the company had to receive the fire of the whole regiment of the enemy for the distance of about two hundred yards--At it they went, however, four abreast and revolvers in hand. All the first four went down except John P Debutts, who was wounded in his right hand, Capt Carter's horse fell dead under him, but he called to his men to charge on, who having still with them their first and second Lieutenants Rogers and Chamberlin, went on. Others of the company fell — others cut their way through the centre of the Zouaves, then wheeled to the right and come through again. The centre of the Zouaves was broken, and Col. Imboden's battery relieved on its flank. Capt. Carbers company came out of the charge with the loss of eight men killed and nine wounded, one taken prisoner and one not yet heard from, and four or five horse killed. This charge of the young volunteers was so gallant, that

Says the Fredericksburg Recorder: The county of Caroline will not have to bring her militia into the field, her quotes of volunteers being much larger than the requisition of the Governor called for in his proclamation of the 20th. This is a noble county — practising exactly what it preaches. It voted for

oned arms, stores, and equipments. It was certainly the best equipped army that ever took the field in this country. There are two Loudoun companies here, which were in the hottest of the fight on Sunday week, and suffered considerable loss--Capt. Rogers' Battery and Capt. Welby Carter's Cavalry Company. Carrier lost nine of his men on the field, and we understand one of Rogers' men has died of his wounds since the fight. The troops near here are all under the command of Gen.

h in the air, shouting on ward to the almost wavering men, who gained fresh courage from the exhibition, and pushing forward, drove the enemy from the field. In this fight, many of our brave soldiers fell to rise no more, while Colonel Andrews had his horse shot from under him and was wounded himself slightly. General Lyon suffered, in a similar manner; Captains Cavender, Cole and Yates, each slightly, or at least not dangerously wounded; Lieuts. Brown and Johnson, and Corporals Conant and Rogers, more or less severely wounded. During this engagement two companies of regulars were sent to the east side of the creek to engage a force which was operating against Capt. Wright's cavalry, sheltering themselves behind a fence. Capt. Plummer and Capt. Gilbert, with their companies, marched close by to the fence and delivered an effective fire, but were compelled by great odds to retire, which they did, but again renewed the attack. The enemy being largely reinforced, and having now a

oved to this place at the foot of Cheat Mountain. The troops are under the command of Col. Taliaferro, while General Jackson is commandant of the line. The enemy is strongly fortified on the top of Cheat Mountain, and have the sides of the road effectually blockaded, so that to attack them our forces will have to keep to the main road, which has planted in it a number of cannon of large calibre, and bearing directly down the road. A brigade, consisting of Col. Fulkerson's Regiment, Major Rogers' Battalion, the remnant of the Twenty-third Regiment, and Shumaker's Artillery, under the command of Colonel Taliaferro, on Monday morning advanced to within three miles of their post, drove their pickets in, and then waited for hours for the enemy to attack us; but they feared to move out of their stronghold. We returned to camp, having marched about twenty-two miles and waded through several streams of water. We hear numerous rumors of the movements of Gens. Wise and Floyd, but no

The Army of the Potomac. --We learn from a correspondent at Fairfax C. H. that there has been no regular engagement yet between our advanced forces, under Gen. Longstreet and the Yankees near them. Col. J. E. B. Stuart continues to command a considerable force of infantry at Munson's hill, supported by the Washington Artillery, Capt. Rosser, and Mason's hill is now occupied by Col. J. L. Kemper, with several regiments under his command. The Leesburg Artillery, Captain Rogers, have been stationed at this post for about two weeks. Munson's and Mason's hills mutually defend each other as military posts, being about two miles apart, equidistant from the Potomac, the latter nearer Alexandria, and both almost within range of the enemy's guns at Arlington Heights and Fort Ellsworth. There has been a good deal of skirmishing between the pickets of the two armies, but the Yankees are evidently backing into their entrenchments, and are afraid to venture far from their strongholds, thoug

treet, between Main and Cary, pursuant to a call from Adjutant Geo. W. Alexander, to express their sympathy for Colonel Richard Thomas in his incarceration, and to organize a battalion to be named after him. The meeting was called to order by Capt. Dugan, a fine specimen of a Marylander, and after the object of the meeting was explained, Adjutant Alexander was called to the chair, and Capt. Lookerman appointed Secretary.--A committee of three, consisting of Captains Lookerman, Kyle, and Rogers, was appointed to draw up resolutions, which they will prepare and present this evening, when the men will be enrolled and leave on Sunday for the rendezvous. This looks like action, and we trust all who can will join. There are many here idle. Let them join; and from what we have learned, they will not want for men to try out work for them to do, and lead them to it. The command of the battalion will be bestowed upon the same able officer, and when the Colonel is once more among us he wi

iate basis. In connection with D. Lee Powell, Esq., he founded the "Southern Female Institute," which was incorporated by the Legislature, and established in Fredericksburg, whence it was removed to Richmond, where its career has been one of national usefulness and fame — In 1858, he was appointed Professor of History in William and Mary College, and was afterwards appointed to another chair in that Institution, both of which he filled with eminent credit and success. Such scholars as Professor Rogers, Wm. C. Rives, and others, have expressed, in the warmest terms, their high estimate of his rare scientific attainments and high-toned Virginia character. His efforts to revive the drooping fortunes of the venerable College of William and Mary, was of the most energetic and successful character. To no cause is that College more indebted than to the efforts of Prof. Morrison to collect funds for the purchase of apparatus, library, and the building of the new edifice after the burning o
