The wagons an, indicates thane panic must have occurred recently among McClellan's army in the vicinity of Shirley. In no other way can wortation, but the boats are not to be had. They know that McClellan's losses have been heavy in killed and wounded. They sayhousand would answer to their names.

e any yesterday, save a few shells, or rather signal guns, I suppose. Some fifty guns were fired to day at Westover, as a Fourth of July salute, and the vessels all displayed the Stars and Stripes. The troops landing are believed to be Burnside's division, from the character of some of the vessels towed up by the tugs. I write on a sheet of Yankee paper, drifted from the other side. Yours, &c. The drifting of canteens, letters, writing paper, lemons, boxes, etc., from the noare at Westover, and that he still has an effective force at Berkeley, is in a strong position, and anxious to fight. His force is represented to be now 80,000 or more men, he having been reinforced by Shield's Division. The greater portion of Burnside's forces are said to have been in the fight of the early part of the past week. Our scouts in late last evening from the section of country opposite Berkeley, report hundreds of vessels in the river in that vicinity, including every descrip

this apparently reckless squandering of army valuables. The unusually long list of transports, too, points to something more than the carrying of supplies. The Yankee army has evidently been reinforced, but to what extent no one can say. Judging from the number of vessels, we think it safe to estimate the number at 15,000 or 20,000. Arrival of more prisoners. On Saturday forenoon, a guard of Capt. Winfield's Sussex cavalry arrived with a batch of five Yankee prisoners, taken near Hood's, in Prince George county. They were immediately conducted to headquarters at the Custom-House, and from thence to Petersburg Jail, where they are now confined. They give the following as their names: Benj. Luche, 1st Excelsior, Sickle's brigade. Samuel Hammond, 69th Penn. Wm. Rowland, 71st Penn. Wm. Carlisle, 106th Penn. Samuel C. Snyder, 100th Penn.

Dear Sir: I send you an imperfect list of the transport steamers, loaded with reinforcements, which on Tuesday afternoon and night passed up the river to Berkeley and Westover, where'd presume the right wing of the enemy rests, as it is there covered by Herring Creek and the Berkeley Mill Pond.

He has either to offer a manly fight to the forces confronting him, or suffer severe loss in a further retreat. If he offers fight, he will meet with certain defeat; if he attempts to retreat, he will be closely pursued by an army that will disregard every inconvenience to make our triumph complete and the rout of the enemy effectual. It was reported yesterday that Gen. Stuart, with a thousand cavalry and one piece of artillery, had forced his way into the enemy's rear, on his right, and opened fire upon a Federal transport, with good effect, putting a number of shot through her. From the South side. [From the Petersburg Express of yesterday] The movements of the enemy about Berkeley continue to attract much attention from spectators on this side, who cannot but regard them with interest.

They say too, that disease deal! terribly with the army, and reduced their ranks fearfully, before the casualties of battle helped to swell the number of ineffective. The member of Gen. Sickles's Brigade states that but a few months since this command numbered five thousand men, the very pick and choice of New York, but he is now satisfied, that upon call of the roll, not one thousand would answer to their names. These men say, that McClellan has been reinforced at Berkeley, and that the transports seen there brought troops from Shield's division, who have been heretofore actively engaged in the Virginia Valley.
