[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] from the Peninsula — re Enlistments — the Old Dominion Dragoons, &c., &c., Army of the Peninsula, February 6, 1862. Our roads on the Peninsula, rendered bad by the frequent rains of January, are now almost impassable, except by troopers, I am happy, however, in being able to state that the health of our men has much improved of late, as the closing of one of the Williamsburg hospitals shows. This will be gratifying intelligence to all who have friends in the Peninsular army. The re-enlisting of volunteers goes Bravely on, and you may rent assured that before the present time expires a large number will have enrolled their names. The battle at Somereset, and subsequent retreat of our army there, has, so far from disheartening our troops given an impetus to re-enlisting, and an assurance of future success. Among the many efforts being made of increasing our army, is one down here which will render more effective a valuable

As a large number are already enlisted in this enterprise, we sincerely trust — indeed, believe — that Captain Vaughan's efforts will secure a battalion of mounted men. We may also say that Capt. Vaughan was born and raised within three miles of Bethel, has practiced medicine in Hampton and surrounding country for twelve years, and is thoroughly acquainted with the lower peninsula. The gailant men of his command have the same advantages Gen. Magruder has repeatedly acknowledged the invaluable aid rendered by the Old Dominion Dragoons; and a battalion composed of like material would be of still greater efficiency. It is greatly desired, for the good of our cause, that the Government will render such aid as will effect the object proposed.

reek, two boats, with about 20 men in each, were dispatched for the purpose of capturing the yacht, while she continued to shell the shore for a mile up and down, in order to protect her boats; which, having advanced within 300 yards of the nearest cannon, Capt. Fleet opened fire on them with canister; whereupon they immediately wheeled about and returned with the utmost precipitation to the steamer, which now resumed her fire with redoubled efforts. Capt. Fleet then gave the signal to Lieutenant Hardy to open fire on the steamer with the other two guns, which were at some distance below. This he did with great promptness and effect in the mean time, the small steamer having come to the aid of the large one, they both kept up for some time a furious cannenade. But, after a few well directed fires of our guns, they with drew, amid the repeated cheers of our men. Out of fifteen shots, which were all that were fired at the steamers, the large one was struck three times, and the small o

the public the facts of the case. The circumstances connected with the fight are simply theses: During the week preceding the engagement the Yankees had landed in Middlesex, and wantonly burned a private dwelling; and as it was supposed that similar depredations would be attempted, Captain Fleet. of the Middlesex artillery, with three guns and a portion of his company, proceeded to a point opposite to which the blockading steamers were lying, and there planted his cannon. On the 15th of January, Captain Fleet, finding it necessary for some purpose, directed a yacht which was in the vicinity to be removed from one point to another. The Yankees, having caught a glimpse of the yacht, immediately started in pursuit with the larger steamer. This rendered it necessary that the yacht. in order to escape and reach a place of safety, should run into Sturgeon's creek, where the men who were in her went ashore. When the steamer came up opposite to the mouth of the creek, two boats, wi
