sent. Nothing was left, therefore, to be done but to set to work and gather up the arms, keeping a sharp look out for the enemy's gunboats, for the arms were immediately on the banks of the river. In a very short time, under the intelligent direction of their officers, the men gathered between nine hundred and a thousand arms of the most improved patterns, and conveyed them to a place of safety, where they were placed in wagons and sent to the Ordnance Department, under the direction of Capt. Taylor, when Col. Nance returned with his command to camp, near the Tuesday's battle-field. Huger's Division. It may not have been mentioned before that the whole of Huger's division was engaged in the thickest of the fight on Tuesday, the 1st of July; but certainly the due tribute of praise has been given to the different brigades and regiments composing it. Both infantry and artillery fought with determined valor, and the names of those gallant leaders, Mahone, Wright, Armistead, and

south bank of James river, and occasionally gave the "wild varmints" in the marshes and undergrowth on the south side a "feller," but did no perceptible damage to any human being or any habitation of man. A couple of sailors from one of the enemy's transports were taken by our pickets yesterday, and brought up to headquarters. They proved to be deck hands only, and could give no reliable information of McClellan's forces or movements. They knew that there were a "heap" of soldiers at Berkeley, and a "bloody sght" of craft of every kind, but as to the intentions of the enemy the prisoners know but little, and, to use their own language, they care less. These men had become engaged in a quarrel on their steamer, and growing disagreeably turbulent the Captain interfered, and commanded the peace. They desisted for the nonce, but mutually agreed to slip over to the Prince George shore as soon as the shades of evening closed in, where they could adjust matters to their own satisfact

ine that plying the spade on such a sweltering day as yesterday is no child's play; and that such an occupation will steadily increase the enemy's morality list there can be no doubt. Grave digging on an extensive scale will be added to their other labors, and in all their joyous anticipations of pleasant summer recreations in and around the metropolis, the luckless Yankees are doomed to a woeful disappointment. A few days ago some gentlemen were conversing with a youth and prisoner at Meadow Station, when he commenced cursing very bitterly about the amount of labor imposed upon the Federal soldiers by McClellan. "Why," said he, "they set me to work digging a ditch, which used me up in a hurry, and I trusted." "You what?" asked a bystander. "Oh, I hadn't been used to that sort of work, and I tuckered out." Farther inquiry revealed the fact that this is a Yankee phrase to express excessive fatigue — an orthographical invention eminently worthy of a people who produced the euphonious

ns. This will afford facilities for refugees and others to communicate with their friends in the counties on the lower Rappahannock. Persons came through from Gloucester last week in less than two days, and we learn from them that news of the great battle had reached that county, though the people were somewhat puzzled to ascertain the precise condition of affairs. Notwithstanding frequent assertions to the contrary, the depredations of the enemy in Gloucester have been quite extensive. The Federal have no troops in Lancaster, and probably very few on the Northern Neck; but a steamer constantly plies in the waters adjacent, in order to prevent contrabaus directions, as well as a visible effect upon the amount of supplies in our markets. Since the above was in type we have learned that the enemy evacuated Gloucester, after hearing of McClellan's retreat, blowing up their magazine and throwing their guns into the river.

ades and regiments composing it. Both infantry and artillery fought with determined valor, and the names of those gallant leaders, Mahone, Wright, Armistead, and Ransom, will not soon be forgotten by their country. The list of killed and wounded attests the unflinching bravery of the division. From the South side. The Petersburg Express, of yesterday, has the following: Several of the enemy's gunboats came up the river Sunday evening late, and proceeded several miles beyond City Point. They fired many shells into the forests on the south bank of James river, and occasionally gave the "wild varmints" in the marshes and undergrowth on the south side a "feller," but did no perceptible damage to any human being or any habitation of man. A couple of sailors from one of the enemy's transports were taken by our pickets yesterday, and brought up to headquarters.

the fact that this is a Yankee phrase to express excessive fatigue — an orthographical invention eminently worthy of a people who produced the euphonious skedaddle, and have lately given us a practical illustration of it. Treatment of our wounded. It is established beyond the possibility of contradiction, that a number of our wounded, after receiving their wounds, were deliberately murdered by the Federal troops. A gentleman of undoubted veracity, who was wounded in the fight at Coal Harbor, says that after receiving his wound, which was but a slight one, he succeeded in capturing a Yankee soldier, with whom he started to camp.--On the way they passed by a Texan officer, upon whom a mortal wound had been inflicted, and who was at the time well nigh exhausted from the loss of blood. The Texan expressed a desire to talk to the prisoner, which was allowed, and he addressed him, in substance, as follows: "I am about to die and what I state to you I know to be true. When our br

ture of arms. We are informed that Col. James D. Nance, with his regiment, the 3d South Carolina, portions of other regiments of Kershaw's brigade, and a detail of one hundred men from Gen. A. P. Hill's division, was sent on an expedition to Shirley last Thursday, expecting to attack the enemy at that point, and capture a number of arms left there by the enemy in their precipitate retreat. The command reached Shirley about 1½ A. M., when they bivouacked until daybreak, as the night was tooShirley about 1½ A. M., when they bivouacked until daybreak, as the night was too dark for any operations. At daybreak the command was formed and cavalry scouts were sent out by Col. Nance and Capt. King, of Cobb's. Legion, when it was discovered the enemy were not present. Nothing was left, therefore, to be done but to set to work and gather up the arms, keeping a sharp look out for the enemy's gunboats, for the arms were immediately on the banks of the river.

command of Lieut. Col. Martin. From facts since placed in our possession it appears that at the time referred to Col. Martin was in command of the 4th Virginia Cavalry (Capt. Chamberlayne) and the Jeff Davis Legion; and that the prisoners captured numbered 200, besides 30 mules and horses, 150 rifles and muskets. Assisted by one piece of cannon of Stuart's Horse Artillery, commanded by Lieut. Shaw, they drove to their gunboats, 50 of the enemy's cavalry and the Tammany regiment of the city of New York, killing three and capturing the same number. Two- thirds of the prisoners and all the miles were taken within range and sight of the Monitor and another gunboat, said to be the Galene, lying at Haxall's, on James river. On another occasion, Lieut. Fisher, of the Legion, with fourteen men, assisted by Lieut. Yager of the 10th cavalry, with two men, captured fifty-three of the Bucktall Rifles, who are now in prison in this city. Slightly mistaken. Yesterday morning an unfortun

rection of the river during the forenoon. Diligent inquiry up to a late hour last night failed to elicit any information explanatory of these reports. Many persons residing along the line of the Norfolk railroad, who arrived yesterday evening, state that they heard the firing very distinctly in portions of Sussex and Prince George. A couple of Yankee prisoners taken yesterday, near Hood's, Prince George, were brought in by our pickets yesterday afternoon. They were members of some Pennsylvania cavalry regiment, attached to McClellan's army, and looked as little like equestrians as they did like honest men. One of them was entirely barefoot, both shabbily dressed, and apparently much jaded. They gave but little information, and evidently did not tell all they knew. They both agree that McClellan's army has recently seen as much of the South as they desire, and would gladly go home to-morrow, if they could. It is a matter of congratulation with every friend of freedom and

We learned from several yesterday, residing in quiet portions of the city, that heavy firing had been heard in the direction of the river during the forenoon.
