e killed and nine wounded, a list of whom I enclose. Our 6th regiment is the finest in the service, and has been on duty constantly since we have been in this part of Virginia. It is commanded by Mejor Williams, of the regular army. The wounded are all doing well at the house of a Mr. Thos. S. Morris, near there the engagement took place, which is being used as a hospital for these men, and is under the immediate care of Dr. Pooley, of the regular army. Before the engagement was ended Capt. Gibson arrived upon the ground with his battery, and quickly dispersed what remained of the enemy. Our men subsequently found the body of Charles O'Hara, of Columbus, Ohio, in the woods. A private in the 2d Rhode Island regiment, Company A, was wounded in a very singular manue. during the engagement. He had gone into a directed house in the neighborhood, and was investigating the contents of a flour barrel, when he was shot through the leg by a gun that had been placed there purposely as

The officers of the Yankee army had visited all the fortifications around Norfolk, and expressed their utter amazement that we should have evacuated the place. Gen. Wool still maintains that with 5,000 men behind such works be could have put ten times their number to flight. A great many common-sense Confederates fully concur with Gen. Wool in this opinion. The following paragraph is from the Norfolk DayGen. Wool in this opinion. The following paragraph is from the Norfolk Day Book of Saturday: We learn that the Military Governor, Viele, has turned the city over to the Mayor and municipal corps, and that the night police, as far as the citizens are concerned, will resume the functions of their office.

Progress of the War.late and interesting news. The latest advices from the North are contained in New York and Philadelphia papers of May 16th. We make some extracts, from which it will be seen that the Yankee correspondents continue to misrepresent the facts in regard to the battle of Williamsburg, not withstanding their admission of a loss of 1,000 killed, 2,500 wounded, and 900 prisoners. There are some incidents mentioned by the writer from New Kent Court-House which, the reader will perceive, are grossly false. From M'Clellan's army. Williamsburg, Va, May 10, 1862. Gen.

Some of the enemy's boats were almost alongside the Sumter in the engagement, yet she was not seriously disabled, though her cabin was almost riddled.

gentlemen who left Norfolk last Saturday afternoon: They represent the city as filled with Lincoln soldiers, but arrangements had been made which will reduce the number to 3,000, the balance advancing as far as Suffolk, where they will remain until a junction with Burnside can be effected. Among the soldiers at Norfolk is a regiment composed entirely of Dutch, from the Colonel down to the drummer boys. The orders are all given in the Dutch language, and one sees and hears nothing but Dutch while in their presence. The people of Norfolk keep aloof from the Federals, having no intercourse with them whatever. The stores are all closed, and it is a rare sight to see a male citizen on the streets — the ladies never. All the flags among the ships, and on the Custom-House and Atlantic Hotel, were flying at half- mast Saturday.
