Pretty good work for one brigade. --A writer in the Lynchburg Republican gives the following results of the operations of Brig. Gen. Wm E Jones's brigade during its last campaign of seven engagements: The fruits of these engagements have been 1,767 prisoners, between 300 and 400 of the enemy killed and wounded, 152 wagons, 7 pieces of artillery, and about 2000 horses and mules. All this has been done during an unusually severe winter, without tents, without comfortable clothing, almost shoeless, and with horses worn down by constant use and scarcity of forage.

pell mell back to their line. The fighting continued until about 4 o'clock, and was for the greater portion of the time very severe, the brave and gallant South Carolinians driving everything before them. Men never could have fought better. In this fight Col Graham, of the 21st, was wounded in several places, not very severely, however, and Col Pressley, of the 25th, was shot through the left arm, very near the shoulder joint. Lieut Col Dargan, of the same regiment, was killed, and Capt Wm R Stoney, of Gen Hagwood's Staff, supposed to be mortally wounded. The Lieut Col of the 27th was severely wounded in the head. Brig Gen Bushrod Johnson was the senior Brigadier in command, and behaved with much coolness. Lieut Gen D H Hill was on the ground. Our loss in killed and wounded was about 150 or 200, at the farthest, and we lost very few if any prisoners. The enemy's loss was represented by the prisoners we captured to be very heavy — not less than 2,000. The numb

to see a warrant issuing to place that gentleman under arrest. A resolution by Mr Pruyn, in Congress denouncing the act of suspension as "subversive of the principles of civil liberty," was laid on the table — ayes 79, noes 54. The Baltimore America has an announcement of a suspension in that city, as follows: Yesterday afternoon Maj Gen Lew Wallace, commandant of the Middle Department, issued an order prohibiting the further publication of the Evening Transcript, published by Mr. Wm H Nelison, on Baltimore street near Gay, on the charge of disloyalty, in publishing as a telegraphic dispatch a statement giving a grossly exaggerates estimate of the losses of the Army of the Potomac, and crediting the same to the Associated Press correspondent at Washington thereby seeking to establish its reliability. The dispatch reads as follows: Washington, May 15--I have no facts to send you. The report that a great battle was in progress yesterday is not believed. As to the r

force, and prisoners taken variously estimate it at from three to five thousand. None put the number at less than three thousand, and some say that it was even more than five thousand. There is no doubt but that it was intended to capture this city, and all the circumstances are strongly corroborative of this view. Thanks to a kind Providence, who has nerved the hearts and strengthened the hands of our brave men, we have been again preserved. The enemy crept up behind the residence of Mr. Wm. A Gregory, ascended to the roof, and knocking off the shingles were enabled not only to obtain an excellent view, and ascertain the number of our forces, but through the openings thus made fired upon and killed many of our men behind the breastworks. The residence of Timothy Rives, Esq., fell into the possession of the invaders, after our forces retreated, and the scoundrels not only ransacked and robbed it of all its valuable contents, but then applied the torch, and burnt it to the g

Our batteries were supposed to have disarranged matters in that locality considerably, as we did not hear from the Blakeley for several hours. About seven last evening she opened again, and continued her firing at the usual intervals. The enemy Seeling our right. About 11 o'clock yesterday a movement was made by a portion of Grant's army on our lines near the Jerusalem Plankroad, in the vicinity of the residence of Mr. Wm A Gregory. But his advance guard only drove in our pickets, for he discovered a body of troops which, had they continued their advance, would have administered to them a terrible castigation. This same body, which shall here be nameless, has heady rendered not less than 20,000 of Grant's army wholly unserviceable since the present campaign commenced. A movement on the Weldon Railroad. Nothing now occurred to disturb the equanimity of our brave boys occupying the trenches until two

ate the entire party, and they should see to it that not a man survives. Further from the raiders. A gentleman who reached here last night direct from Ford's Depot informs us that the destruction of the vandals in that vicinity was very great.--From the 14 mile post, six miles below, to some distance above the depot, the telegraph poles have been cut down, the wire destroyed, the railroad track torn up and the iron burnt and bent. Several citizens in the vicinity suffered heavily. Mr. Wm H Beasley was stripped of every article of value; M Ed H Osborne lost thirteen horses and mules, six negroes, all his bacon, and half of his corn Mr. John D Pool and Mr. Thacker were also robbed of nearly everything. In their march towards the Junction the Yankees swept the country, burning the depots and court building at Nottoway C H.
