To conclude, for I must end and forward these hurried pages: I. Will the rebels make a stand at an interior line of peninsula defences? Deserters say they will not; that they are afraid of McDowell's advance, and are hastening to unite with their Gordonsville columns ; that the failure of Forts Jackson and St. Philip to sink our gunboats in the Mississippi has opened their eyes to the admirable shrewdness of McClellan in essaying the peninsula. Per contra. Read the curious addresses which we find awaiting us here in various parts of the works.

M. of Saturday, and at eight o'clock yesterday morning had reached Elk Run ford, so he is doubtless up with the main army by this hour. From our own knowledge of the situation we feel sure that the reception of this important addition to his fine army has already been taken advantage of by Major-Gen. Pope, and that he is again in motion towards Gordonsville. His men all believe him irresistible, and feel certain that signal victory will attend his movements at their head, as on all previous occasions when at the head of his Western army. P.

We regret our inability to call public attention to the services of all the gallant Union officers and men individually engaged in this important b

About the middle of the day our cavalry came in contact with the Yankee cavalry, and after a sharp engagement they took to their heels, losing about twenty killed. We took about forty prisoners, with their camp and camp equipage. Our loss was none. Our troops encamped Friday night on Garnett's farm. Early on Saturday morning we again took up the line of march, and about nine o'clock discovered the Yankee cavalry drawn

King on the twenty-second, from Fredericksburgh, returned last evening. Early yesterday morning they met and defeated a body of confederate cavalry about one hundred strong, stationed near Carmel Church, on the telegraph line from Fredericksburgh to Richmond, burnt their camp and six cars loaded with corn, and broke up the telegraph from Gordonsville.

Culpeper Court-House, August 5, 1862. Early Gen.

Hammond, led the column and dashed equel will show the value of this movement. Steadily we moved onward through the town, when the advance reached the Gordonsville road, and prepared to turn the column in that direction.

Already he had fought the enemy at the depot, and again his brave men were upon them. On, too, came Captains F
