[from our Special Correspondent.] Fredericksburg, July 1, 1861. Another engagement occurred at Mathias' Point on Thursday afternoon, in which nine of the enemy were killed and many others wounded. Our troops took a large number of picks, spades and sand-bags, and left the field unscathed, as usual. From the accounts which have reached me, I judge the enemy numbered about fifty, and landed for the purpose of erecting some kind of defence. The accounts are so vague that I am unwillingch I could not learn, ladened with coffee, from Rio, for Baltimore; and, as the neutrality of Maryland has been recognized, I presume her cargo will be purchased. The Captain of the schooner Margaret is a Virginian, and should be dealt with as he deserves. The Captain of the schooner Mary Pierce is undoubtedly a Yankee. The report of fighting at Mathias' Point has again reached me, and I am inclined to believe that we shall soon hear of a glorious victory on our part from that place. M.
