ughfare. Three or four of these worthies who had been lodged in jail, succeeded in making their escape on last Wednesday night, and are now at large. Their egress was effected by prising open the jail door with a crowbar, and from statements of other prisoners, it appears that a party of some five or six outside co-operated with, and armed them with revolvers after they got out. Up to this time they have not been recaptured. A sad accident occurred yesterday in the neighborhood of Amherst C. H. It appears that the son of W. E. Coleman, of that place, a youth, together with two other boys, were out gunning, and while stopping to rest were seated on a fence, when the gun of one of the boys was accidentally fired off, and the contents lodged in the body of young Coleman, who was instantly killed.

g, and skirmishers thrown forward. A report, however, obtained circulation that the enemy were in our rear, and our column faced about and marched back. When this report was ascertained to be untrue it was too late in return last night and engage the enemy. This morning the enemy had all safety recrossed the Robinson river back to Culpeper. Our casualties in the cavalry skirmishing amounted, I am told, to some fifteen killed and wounded; among them, Lieut., Parker, 2d cavalry from Amherst, Va., who was severely wounded and left in the enemy's hands. The Charlottesville raiding party committed the usual excesses on the line of their march, such as robbing houses, stealing horses.

o break the railroad between Lynchburg and Charlottesville. A depot agent who arrived here yesterday, having left Amherst Court house on Sunday afternoon, states that the enemy entered that place at two o'clock, but up to the time of his leaving hahas assumed the command. We have other accounts which throw discredit upon the report that the enemy occupied Amherst Court-House on Sunday evening. A dispatch from our special correspondent at Lynchburg, received yesterday, pronounces the reponing that an official dispatch had been received from General Nichols, stating that the rumor of the occupation of Amherst Court-House was premature, and that he was misled by information received from a courier. [from our own correspondent.] Lynchburg, June 13 A. M. --The report of the enemy being at Amherst C. H. yesterday evening was premature. They are now in that vicinity, moving cautiously in this direction. They will probably attempt to form a junction with Averill, w

The main body then kept up the advance in this direction, proceeding cautiously, and reached New Glasgow, on the Orange railroad, at 12 M to-day. At 2 P M to-day they reached Amherst C H, thirteen miles from here. A scout just in reports their advance guards two miles this side of Amherst, advancing in this direction. No definite idea is given of their numbers, variously estimated at from 3,000 to 8,000. Another columAmherst, advancing in this direction.

Another column reached Lexington yesterday evening and captured that place, and at last accounts were five miles this side of Lexington, advancing in this direction. Preparations have been made here to give them a warm reception, should they continue their advance on this city, and from present indications we shall have warm work in a very short time. Our trains on the railroad yesterday evening, between this city and Charlottesville, escaped capture, but it is ascertained that a small wagon train

aissances, and sending out small raiding parties in every direction.--Averill's party from Lexington, or a portion of it, had crossed the James river, and camped last night a few miles from Buford's Depot, on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, 37 miles distant from Lynchburg. The raiding party, after burning Campbell C. H. it is supposed, will endeavor to effect a junction with Averill's command west of Lynchburg. Averill's force is estimated at 6,000, and prisoners who were captured in Amherst say that they belong to Stahl's command, which is the left wing of Averill's command, and 2,000 strong. Hunter is reported to be moving on Lynchburg via Lexington, but he will necessarily have to move slow, as his infantry and wagon trains cannot be brought over the mountain road with celerity. Of the movement of our troops it is needless to speak, as a few days' developments will render it unnecessary. I shall probably remain at this place until communication is securely and permanently

Our forces were compelled to leave some of the severely wounded at the bridge, and they doubtless afterwards fell into the hands of the enemy. Among the officers reported killed in this engagement were Col. Lamar and Lieut. Col. Van Volkenburg, of the 61st Georgia regiment; Maj. Hambrey, of the 12th Georgia battalion; Capt Lowther, of the 26th Georgia regiment; and Lieut. George Hobson, of the Amherst (Va.) Artillery. From Georgia. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston took leave of the Army of Tennessee on the 18th, and issued to his late command a farewell address which is remarkable for its good taste. Gen. Hood accepted the command, and in his address to the troops tells them that he relies upon their prowess to wrest the country from the grasp of the invader, entitling themselves "to the proud distinction of being called the deliverers of an oppressed people."
