He would never have ventured upon a march, apparently so hazardous as that into Pennsylvania, had he not well calculated all the chances beforehand.

of the returned prisoner, who overheard the officers at Old Point say they had sustained a loss of 60,000 men, though otherwise of little value, is useful as confirmatory evidence. We have no means of testing the accuracy of the dispatch from Martinsburg. Correspondents — especially telegraphic correspondents — with the best intentions, are often led estray. They are obliged, in the absence of official intelligence, to depend on the evidence of persons from the scene of action, who are oftenublic judge of the value of their information. In the present instance, the very enormity of the loss in prisoners attributed to the enemy excites incredulity, although no man doubts that the reporter stated accurately the prevalent belief in Martinsburg at the time. We feel as well assured that Gen. Lee, if he has met the enemy in a pitched battle, has inflicted a terrible defeat upon them, as we do that we are living, breathing, sentient beings.

Drowned. --On Monday afternoon last a serious accident occurred at Gillie's Creek, in Rickets. A Confederate teamster driving four mules, and having in his wagon nine ladies and a soldier, attempted to cross the creek, which was exceedingly high, and rising rapidly. Persons in the neighborhood warned him of the danger in crossing, but he persisted in the effort. Just as the lead mules exited the current they plunged beyond their depth, and the driver then attempted to turn them to the shore, but before he could do so the wheel mules were upon them, and all were soon entangled in the harness and sunk, the driver going down with their. Fortunately for the parties in the wagon, the body floated from the running gear, and striking a tree, by the aid of the soldier who accompanied them the ladies were enabled to held to the limbs and resist the force of the current till persons on shore could rescue them, which was speedily done. The driver and the four males were drowned. We c

The driver and the four males were drowned. We could not ascertain the same of any of the parties, but learn that the ladies reside in Richmond; that they had been on a visit to some of their military friends at one of the Fulton Hill batteries, and that, being caught there in full storm, the teamster, who lost his life, had volunteered to haul them to the city, rather than see them wade through the mud.
