Since the affair of Friday, in which Hagood was repulsed, nothing of sufficient interest has transpired to warrant a letter. That affair seems to be much misunderstood, and for the truth of history I give the following version, which is furnished by a prominent actor in it: "Gen Hagood, wGen Hagood, with three regiments, was ordered to charge the enemy's works immediately in his front with the understanding that strong supports were to follow. The charge was made in gallant style, Gen H leading it. A portion of the enemy's works were taken, and about thirty prisoners sent rearwards.--The enemy being largely reinforced, and Gen H.'s reinforcements, for some unexplained reason, failing to come to time, Gen H was compelled to retire with a loss of some three hundred in killed, wounded, and mis

he Senators of ancient Rome, who sat in their Senate even after the capital had fallen. Such people as those of the Cockade city deserve a better fate than to be the vanquished of the North or the subjects of their impotent malice. The shower of last night has cooled the atmosphere, and acted like a charm in bracing up the troops. The fight at Staunton River bridge. From a member of the Richmond militia, who was engaged in the affair, we have some particulars of the fight with Kantz's raiders at Staunton River bridge, on the Danville railroad, on Saturday last. On Wednesday, the 22d inst, a detachment of men from Col Danforth's militia regiment left Richmond for Danville in charge of some prisoners. The detachment consisted of three commissioned officers, six non-commissioned officers, and fifty-three privates, all under the command of Capt James E Riddick.

The detachment consisted of three commissioned officers, six non-commissioned officers, and fifty-three privates, all under the command of Capt James E Riddick. They arrived at Danville on Wednesday night, and remained there until Friday evening, when they returned to Staunton River bridge, reaching there some time after dark. Capt Farrinhalt was in command of the forces at this point. Nothing of importance occurred during that night or the next morning; but in the afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, the Yankees came in sight and advanced upon our position. Our batteries on the Danville side of the river at once opened upon them, and the enemy, having got a battery in position, returned the fire. In this artillery duel our loss was but slight, while it is believed that the enemy suffered heavily. About halfpast 5 o'clock

General W. H. F. Lee's cavalry followed, and continued to harass their rear. The enemy lost in this affair some 250 killed and wounded, while our loss was only eight killed and twenty-four wounded.
