Engagement near Wilmington. Wilmington, N.

The enemy attempted to land, but were repulsed, with one killed. Being reinforced, they finally succeeded in destroying the goods landed from the steamer, set her on fire, and left.

Apprehended raid on Staunton. Staunton, Va., Aug. 24. --Considerable excitement was created here to-day by the scouts reporting the Yankees near Buffalo Gap, on a raid to Staunton. Preparations were made for their reception. Business was suspended, and old and young turned out en masse to meet the enemy, but they were non est. It is reported they have crossed into Highland. Imboden is after them, and Staunton has relapsed again into its placid state of tranquility. Nothing important from the lower Valley. No Yankees between here and Martinsburg.
