about four o'clock, in consequence of an attempt of the enemy to throw up breastworks under the disguise of burying their lead. In the general engagement President Davis led the centre, Gen. Beauregard the right wing, and Gen. Johnston the left wing of our army. The Lincoln army was completely routed. Hampton's Legion suffered considerable loss. Sherman's celebrated Battery of Light Artillery was taken by our troops. The fight was very severe and fatal on both sides. Among the prominent officers who are reported to have been killed are Col. Bartow, of Georgia; Gen. Ber, of South Carolina, Gen. Kiery Smith, and Col. Johnson, of the Hampton Legion. The following dispatch was received by Mrs. President Davis late last evening: "We have won a glorious but dear bought victory — the night closed with the enemy in full fight, pursued by our troops."

Moore was wounded in the left arm, in the commencement of the fight, and had to be carried from the field; whereupon Major Skinner, aided by Capt. Mitchell, took the command, (Lieut. Col. Fry being at the time quite busy in another part,) and nobly

ee papers: St. Louis, July 16.--The Washington correspondent of the Anzeiger says Captain Sweeney's appointment as Brigadier General of the St Louis Home Guard was never confirmed by Government, and orders have been issued calling him and his company of regulars to join his regiment, the 2d U. S. Infantry, at Washington. Respectable authority says Colonel Siegel will be promoted to be a Brigadier General. The train on the North Missouri Railroad, conveying a detachment of Colonel Smith's Regiment of Zouaves, were fired into yesterday from the woods skirting the road twenty miles above St. Charles, and two troops severely wounded.
