The engagement with the rebels, which took place yesterday, proves to have been more important and formidable than was at first supposed, an supposed, on a foraging expedition, and augmented his force up to Thursday, when he took position about nine miles from Suffolk, at a point known as the deserted house, a locality commanding the road from this town to Franklin, and completely protehis morning, and the wounded are being well cared for.

But that was the road to victory; there was no other, and along that terrible pathway our soldiers were required to pass. The moment was one of peril. To delay was to lose the chance of triumph; and, although death and danger marked the hour, it was the time to show the bravery of heart and the strength of arm of our noble U nion soldiers.

Pryor, Brigadier-General Commanding. From a member of Captain Wright's battery, which is composed chiefly of volunteers from Halifax County, Va., and who were in the fight, we have obtained a few additional particulars: Some two hours or more before the dawn of day Friday, our pickets were driven in by two regiments of mounted men, and a few minutes thereafter the enemy's artillery opened on our bivouac fires. We immediately replied with guns of Captain Colt's S. C. battery, and one section of Capt. Wright's. The enemy's shell fell thick and fast in our immediate vicinity, but our boys stood manfully to their guns, and gav
