between Federal and Confederate troops, the former consisting of three Ohio companies. It occurred between Bulltown and Weston, Va.--The Confederates were concealed in the bushes, and fired upon the scouts of the Ohioans as they approached. Four of the Federal scouts were wounded, but not seriously. One of them received a ball through the fleshy part of the breast, and another a shot through the leg, but without breaking the bone. Sergeant Mulley, of Company H, was shot in the arm. Patrick Hendrieker, of Company H, received a ball in his arm, and had just exclaimed "I'm shot," when a ball struck him underneath the left ear and produced almost instant death. He was from Cincinnati.--When the firing commenced, the men say that the balls rattled like hail, and from the number and rapidity of the shots it is supposed that there were probably a hundred or more of the attacking party. The scouts promptly returned the fire, discharging their pieces at random into the bushes, but with wh

mmenced, the men say that the balls rattled like hail, and from the number and rapidity of the shots it is supposed that there were probably a hundred or more of the attacking party. The scouts promptly returned the fire, discharging their pieces at random into the bushes, but with what effect it was impossible to tell. The entire force of the three companies soon came to their aid, but the Confederates had then fled, leaving traces of blood behind. The same correspondent says that H. T. Martin, an editor of Weston, Va., has been arrested and sent to Columbus, Ohio. Peace Conference in Missouri. The St. Louis Republican, of Friday, says: A military conference was held day before yesterday, at Sedalia, in Pettis county, composed of Colonel Brown, from Jefferson city, Captains Harris and Parker, of Cooper county, and a number of other officers, some connected with the State, and some with the Federal forces. The object of the conference was to determine upon some p

waiting the arrival of a paymaster. The ship Fair Wind, of Boston, with a cargo of guano, was this morning towed up the Roads by the steamer S. R Spaulding, in a disabled condition, having been ashore at Hog Island. The British ship-of-war Gladiator was yesterday cruising off the Capes. A flag of truce yesterday conveyed Mr. Whalen, former U. S. Minister to Nicaragua, to the Confederates' pickets beyond New Market bridge. A flag of truce is just in from Norfolk, with Corporal Hulburt, of the First Connecticut Regiment, released by the Confederates for his attention to Colonel Gardiner, after the battle of Bull Run. He states that a considerable number of released ministers, including several chaplains, will reach Old Point tomorrow. In his opinion the Confederates are actively preparing for an attack upon Fortress Monroe. That measure is now popular in the Confederate camps, and appropriate material is being collected in large quantities at Norfolk. All the

m-tug Jacob Bell has been purchased by the United States Government, and is on her way to the Washington Navy-Yard, where she will be fitted out as a gun-boat. Yesterday morning, and on the morning before, there were brushes between the pickets of the First Minnesota Regiment, on the Union side, about 100 strong, and as many, apparently, of the disunionist, at Edwards' Ferry.--On each occasion the latter retired in an hour or so, in the direction of Leesburg. Nobody hurt. Captain Julius De Laguel, of the disunion army, (late of the 3d artillery, U. S. A.) reported to be missing since the battle of Rich Mountain, or killed in that engagement, is a prisoner to General Rosencranz's forces in Western Virginia, and is recovering of his wounds.

The President has appointed him a Brigadier General of volunteers. The

After breakfast he was invited to review six brigades under Johnston, Beauregard, and their respective staffs; and besides his general commendation, expressed in high terms of the appearance of the troops, manifested in a particular manner his admiration of the cavalry, which he explicitly declared to be equal, in men and horses, to the best in Europe. Eighteen hundred passed before him in a body. Letter from a prisoner at Richmond. Lieut. James Gannon, of the New York 69th Regiment, who is now a prisoner at Richmond, in a letter to his mother, says: Although confined, I enjoy excellent health and am getting stronger every day. The Southern hospitality extended us is better than we expected, and we all feel happy at our lot, none having reason to complain of the treatment they receive. We get enough to eat and plenty of coffee to drink. * * We are confined in a tobacco warehouse — a clean, well-ventilated and healthy building

o the universal appreciation of the warm-hearted sons of your native land, of whom I have no doubt you are an honorable type. Allow me to add that our President has given the official assurance, and our gallant General is too well known to the authorities of the United States for them to doubt, that no effort to lessen the horrors of war and to confine it to the strictest civilized usage will be spared. Most respectfully, your obedient servant, J. E. B. Stewart. Col. First Cavalry C. S. A. Com'dng, To J. H. McCunn, commanding brigade United States forces. General M'Cunn to Captain Jones.

tler sent the whole batch to the President. Congressman Ely's name is said to head one of the petitions. Fortress Monroe August 18.--Gen. Wool assumed command at Old Point this morning. Lieut. C. C. Churchill is acting Adjutant General. The presence of General Wool is already having a good effect upon the troops. The volunteer regiments here are fast receiving their new uniforms, and their condition is in every respect improving. There is heavy firing this afternoon at Willoughby Point. The Confederate batteries are probably trying their range. The Potomac flotilla — Cannonading at AquiaCreek and Mathias' Point. From the Washington Star, of Saturday evening, we gather the following: The Mount Vernon came up from the Potomac flotilla last night, and contradicts the story of the capture of the Geo. Page, which rumor had obtained credence from the heavy cannonading heard down the river. This cannonading, however, proved to be of trifling importance. The

nded to thwart its policy of effective operations. Commander Livingston, of the steamer Penguin, writing to the Navy Department under date of the 15th instant, communicates interesting particulars of his blockading operations off Cape Fear, stating among other things that after chasing the schooner Louisa, of Wilmington, he brought her without reach of his guns, when she ran ashore and soon keeled over and filled with water, becoming a wreck. It was intended to send her to the West Indies with a cargo of lumber and return with coffee. The captain of the British ship Gladiator had sent him a communication pointing out several localities unblockaded, a fact as well known to commander Livingston as to Her Majesty's officer. The Navy Department will soon remedy these deficiencies. Official information has been received here that a vessel from the South with Confederate ship papers only had entered Newport, Rhode Island, under stress of weather, and that on the p
