d business of all kinds is entirely discontinued. The Piedmont Savings Bank has suspended operations. Piedmont is the largest town in Hampshire county, though Romney, at which place several encounters have taken place recently, is the capital. Fight at the mouth of the Rappanhannock river — Confederate Schooner burned. A letter, published in the Philadelphia inquirer, written by an officer on board of the United States vessel blockading the Rappahannock river, says: On the 15th inst. the steamers blockading the Rappahannock river observed a schooner standing out of Thompson's creek. The Mystic was ordered to give chase, and succeeded in beaching the schooner, when the crew of the latter vessel deserted her, and made the shore in safety. Two boats were lowered from the Mystic, and the tars took possession of the schooner, when they were fired on by a party of rebels, some 500 yards distant, with cannister, apparently from a howitzer. The balls passed over them, and n

nd Colonel Gibbon's (10th) Virginia regiments was dispatched by railway to Winchester. He was directed to move-thence towards Romney to take the best position and best measures to check the advance of the enemy. He was to add to his command the Third Tennessee regiment, which had just arrived at Winchester. during that day and the next the heavy baggage and remaining public property were sent to Winchester by the railway, and the bridges on the Potomac destroyed. On the morning of the 15th, the army left Harper's Ferry for Winchester, (the force had been increased by these regiments since the 1st of June,) and bivouacked four miles beyond Charlestown. On the morning of the 16th intelligence was received that General Patterson's army had crossed the Potomac at Williamsport, also that the United States force at Romney had fallen back. A courier from Richmond brought a dispatch authorizing me to evacuate Harper's Ferry at my discretion. the arms was ordered to gain the Mart

tment of our troops, who were eager for battle with the invaders. Colonel Stuart, with his cavalry, as usual, remained near the enemy. before the 15th of July, the enemy's force, according to the best intelligence to be obtained, amounted to about 38,000. ours had been increased by eight Southern regiments. On the 15th of July, Col. Stuart reported the advance of Gen. Patterson from Martinsburg. He halted, however, at Baker's Hall, nine miles from Winchester, where he remained on the 16th. On the 17th he moved to his left, to Smithfield. This created the impression that he intended to attack us on the south, or was merely holding us in check, while Gen Beauregard should be attacked at Manassas by Gen. Scott. about one o'clock on the morning of July 18th, I received from the Government a telegraphic dispatch, informing me that the Northern army was advancing upon Manassas, then held by General Beauregard, and directing me, if practicable, to go to that officer's assistan

Colonel Stuart, the army moved through Ashley's Gap to Piedmont, a station of the Manassas Gap Railroad. Hence, the infantry were to be transported by the railway, while the cavalry and artillery were ordered to continue their march. I reached Manassas about noon on the 20th, preceded by the 7th and 8th Georgia regiments, and by Jackson's brigade, consisting of the 2d, 4th, 5th, 27th, and 38d Virginia, regiments. I was accompanied by General Bee, with the 4th Alabama, the 2d and two companies of the 11th Mississippi. The President of the Railroad company had assured me that the remaining troops should arrive during the day. I found General Beauregard's position too extensive, and the ground too densely wooded and intricate to be learned in the brief time a

Not dead. --We are requested to contradict the notice of the death of M. V. Copeland, published in the Daily Dispatch of the 21st ult. as having occurred in the General Hospital. Mr. Copeland is well, and has returned to camp. He belongs to the 3d Tennessee Regiment. Could it have been that some one else was mistaken for Mr. C.?

ly by me at half-past 4 o'clock on the morning of the 21st. The Early movements of the enemy on that morning, and the non-arrival of the expected troops, prevented its execution.--General Beauregard afterwards proposed a modification of the abandoned plan — to attack with our right, while the left stood on the defensive. This, too, became impracticable, and a battle ensued, different in place and circumstance from any previous plan on our side. soon after sunrise, on the morning of the 21st, a light cannonade was opened upon Col. Evans's position; a similar demonstration was made against the centre soon after, and strong forces were observed in front of it and of the right. About eight o'clock, Gen. Beauregard and I placed ourselves on a commanding Hill in rear of Gen. Bonham's left — near nine o'clock the signal officer, Capt. Alexander, reported that a large body of troops was crossing the Valley of Bull Run, some two miles above the Bridge. Gen. Bee, who had been placed near

R. Jones's at McLean's Ford; Brig.-Gen. Longstreet's at Blackburn's Ford; Brig. Gen. Bonham's at Mitchell's Ford; Col. Cocke's at Ball's Ford, some three miles above; and Col. Evans, with a regiment and battalion, formed the extensive left at the Stone Bridge. The brigades of Brig.-Gen. Holmes and Colonel Early were in reserve in rear of the right. I regarded the arrival of the remainder of the army of the Shenandoah during the night as certain, and Patterson's, with the Grand army, on the 22d, as probable. During the evening it was determined, instead of remaining in the defensive positions then occupied, to assume the offensive, and attack the enemy before such a junction. General Beauregard proposed a plan of battle, which I approved without hesitation. He drew up the necessary order; during the night, which was approved formally by me at half-past 4 o'clock on the morning of the 21st.

Despite all these adverse circumstances, General Burnside has succeeded in getting over the bar one-half of his vessels, all the gun-boats, and seven thousand troops. The large transports with the troops remained outside the bar until the arrival of the S. R. Spaulding, from Port Royal, on the 23d, when Capt. Howes volunteered to bring them all inside. This was accomplished yesterday afternoon. Fair weather has now set in, and the schooners are making their appearance with water and coal, and everything looks promising. Gen. Burnside is confident of ultimate success, and has the respect of every man under his command. The only troops that have been landed are the 24th Massachusetts regiment and the Rhode Island battery. Col. Hawgins's regiment goes with Gen. Burnside's e
