ed the Military Academy of West Point in the year 1850. Among his contemporaries at that institution were Gens Ambrose Philip, Henry Hath, George H Stuart, T H Holmes, Beverly H Robertson, and N George Evans, and Colonels Seth M Barron Alfred Cumming, and Thos S Rhett, of the Confederate army, and Burnside, Vicle, Wilcor, Cogswell, and others of greater or less repute, or disrepute, in the Yankee army. Among his immediate classmates were Colonels John Pegram, George W Custis Lee, and John B. Vilieplgue, now well known in the Confederate service, and Major Greble, of the Yankee artillery, who was killed in the first battle of the war, at Great Bethel. In the United States Army, the highest rank attained by Stuart was that of First Lieutenant, but this was in the First Cavalry, a regiment noted for its officers, of which Yankee Gen. Sumner was Colonel, and our own General Joseph E. Johnston, Lieut Col. The operations of the old Federal cavalry were conducted mostly upon the distan

nce; but the irony was not happy, for on horseback, at the head of his column, there are fewer their looking men than our General. His expression is trunk and agreeable, the lower part of his face is overflowed by a torrent of reddish-brown beard, his eye is bright and mobile, his movements are full of grace, his address is pleasing, his port lofty and his horsemanship perfect. Altogether he would challenge attention among a hundred thousand men upon the Vienness Prater or the Purisian Champ de Mars In the social circle his manners are engaging and his conversation fertile and suggestive. Gen Stuart married a daughter of Philip St. George Cooke, Colonel of the Second Dragoons, in the United States army. This officer, though a Virginian by birth and education, (he is the brother of the late John R. Cooke, of this city,) preferred his rank to his duty, and remained in the old service, to moke war upon the Southern people. He is now a General, and was under Cinilan when siege wa

re absorbed with the Atlantic telegraph and other exciting matters of the "piping times of peace," Col Sumner encountered a force of three hundred braves of the Cheyenne tribe strongly posted upon Solomon's Fork of the Kansas river, and, after a sharp struggle, put them to flight in great disorder. In this combat Lieut. Stuart was severely wounded. At the outbreak of the present war, Lieut Stuart lost no time in resigning his commission and offering his sword to the cause of his native South. It is unnecessary to refer to his exploits since that time. They have been most effectively laid before the public in a brilliant series by our daily journalists. With his rapid rise from a Colonelcy to the command of a brigade, and soon after to the rank of a Major General of cavalry, our readers are familiar. Perhaps the most striking and successful of all his expeditions were the Pamunkey raid through McClellan's lines, in which but one man, the gallant and lamented Captain Latane, w

Between 10 o'clock and nightfall the enemy made repeated assaults upon Field's Division, but were handsomely repulsed in every instance by our line of skirmishers, Field's line of battle never finding it necessary to engage them. Field's loss was very trifling. Very near dark the enemy made a most vigorous and determined assault upon Rodes's line of battle, driving Daniel's and Dole's lines of battle from their breastworks, and capturing six pieces of our artillery. Johnston's North Carolina, Walker's Stonewall, Va, and Gordon's Georgia Brigade, however, quickly came to their assistance, driving the enemy back, and recapturing our lost guns. The enemy's loss is said to be very heavy, especially in Field's and Rodes's front — The enemy are certainly fighting with great nerve and desperation. The Yankee Major General Sedgwick is certainly killed, and it is reported that Warren and Stevens are killed. On other parts of the line yesterday there was nothing but hea

We reprint from the Illustrated News a sketch of the life of his great cavalry commander: The subject of this brief and imperfect notice, whose name awakens enthusiasm throughout the Confederacy and terror to the farthest borders, of Yankee land, is the son of the late Archibald Stuart, for several years a member of the House Representatives of the United States from the district which then embraced the county of Patrick, in Virginia, where, we believes he was born. At a very early age he gave token of a quick and active mind, and under the fond care of devoted parents of the highest social and moral worth, he grew up to manly statue marked by every trait that gives promise of future distinction. His father died ten or twelve years ago, full of honors; his mother yet lives to witness with joy the service he is rendering to his country, and th

ver, gain advanced. About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon a force attacked a party of our troops near the Half-way House, and last night about 8 o'clock a strong column of the enemy appeared between the Bluff and Richmond. We have nothing later of their movements, but a fight is likely to occur to-day. The firing heard yesterday afternoon was caused by the shelling of the outer fortifications of the Bluff by the enemy and our guns replying. The negro troops at Fort Powhatan, on James river, are said to be committing depredations of every character upon the citizens around that point. The raid on the Danville Railroad--depot Burned — Resistance encountered. The raiding party of Yankee cavalry, noticed in this paper yesterday as having crossed the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad the night before en route for the Danville Railroad, struck the latter road at Coalfield about 10 o'clock that night, tearing up the rails and pulling down the telegraph wire.

On the 29th July, 1857, at a time when we were absorbed with the Atlantic telegraph and other exciting matters of the "piping times of peace," Col Sumner encountered a force of three hundred braves of the Cheyenne tribe strongly posted upon Solomon's Fork of the Kansas river, and, after a sharp struggle, put them to flight in great disorder.

dge across the Chickahominy was covered with hewn logs so as to admit the passage of horses over it. Upon crossing he destroyed the bridges, marched up to Mechanicville, and then struck into the range of hills formerly occupied by McClellan as a camping ground.--Their train of wagons was about a mile long. Thursday night they camped about seven miles below the city, and yesterday they reached Bottom's bridge, which they burnt. Before reaching this bridge they drove in our pickets at New bridge, and burnt that. They then continued on their way down towards the river. The prisoners of this party, of whom thirty-one were brought in yesterday, represent that it was a picked command, intended for the capture of the city, and seem at a loss to account for the failure to assault the works. It is more than probable that Sheridan has gone to the river to cross over and join Butler, as the road he has taken will bring him to the river in the vicinity of City Point. List of
