river, for the purpose of harvesting the crop of oats there. The enemy were driven off and seven captured. The following official dispatch from Gen. Lee was received yesterday at the War Department. Headq'rs Army Northern Va, June 28, 1864. Hon. Secretary of War:Sir: The enemy has been engaged to-day apparently in strengthening his lines in front of Petersburg, advancing them at some points. His cavalry, after being repulsed at Staunton river bridge, on the afternoon of the 26th, retired in the direction of Christiansville, where they encamped that night. The next, morning they continued their march cowards Lawrenceville, by way of Burnsville, and a part of them encamped last night about eight miles northwest of the former place. They appear to be making their way back to the main body of the army. Very respectfully, etc., R. E. Lee, General. Christiansville, mentioned in the foregoing dispatch, is in Mecklenburg county, about twenty miles southeast of

, valuables, &c, on the place should be taken to the woods and hid. This was agreed to, and they went to work with a will, and soon had everything in a safe place, the negroes remaining with the property night and day until the Yankees left the county. On Sunday last everything was hauled back to the house, and not the smallest article was found missing. It is proper to add that the Yankees took only such negroes as were willing to go. [from our own correspondent.] Petersburg, Va., June 28, 12 M. 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, 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 l

graphic error. Outrages in Essex county. The recent visit of Yankee troops to Essex county proved quite disastrous to the inhabitants. From Tappahannock and Layton's 1,325 negroes were taken, and, in fact, the country has been entirely stripped of its laboring population. Among the principal sufferers were Dr. Lawrence Roane, James Roy Micon, Mace Clements, and Mrs. Austin Brockenbrough. Besides negroes, the Yankees took everything they could find in the way of private property — provisions, jewelry and money — and spared nothing which they could conveniently carry away. The force was composed of a mixture of blacks and whites. Further from Georgia. Private information received through the Signal Corps, from a general officer in Atlanta, dated June 27th, represents Hardee's corps as having been principally engaged on our side in the attack on our lines, referred to in Gen Johnston's dispatch, and that the repulse was attended with great slaughter of the enemy

The War news. The latest intelligence we have from Petersburg represents that nothing of importance occurred yesterday on the lines, but we have some information from the raiders which is interesting. They were whipped in Dinwiddie, and it is reported that they were again punished severely at Stony creek. The cannonading heard yesterday morning from Richmond was our artillery shelling a party of Yankees who had gone on Mr Cox's plantation, on James river, for the purpose of harvesting the crop of oats there. The enemy were driven off and seven captured. The following official dispatch from Gen. Lee was received yesterday at the War Department. Headq'rs Army Northern Va, June 28, 1864. Hon.

led to retire with a loss of some three hundred in killed, wounded, and missing." The only matter worth mentioning is the order issued by the Quartermaster General, and which is being enforced by Col Corley, doing away with regimental Quartermasters. Their places are to be filled by the Sergeants. The Quartermaster of each brigade is to have one Assistant Quartermaster, who is to be charged specially with the payment of the troops. By the bye, your city journals ought to hurry Mr Memminger up. The troops in this army have not received one cent of pay since December last, and "small change" is getting awfully scarce. The telegraph the other day briefly mentioned that the gallant Col Harris, of the 12th Miss, had been severely wounded by a straggling shot. Severely was the word.--It was a most dangerous wound and it is a miracle that he survived, as all practitioners of surgery will understand, when I mention his wound. His wound was produced by a Minnie ball, penetrat

Col H. has permanently lost the sense of smell, but it is gratifying to be able to state that he will recover. There is no purer patriot, braver officer or more intelligent gentleman in the Army of Northern Virginia, than Col H. Among the deserved promotions recently made, is that of Major W H Palmer, A A G Hill's corps, to be Lt Col, from and after date of acceptance of commission. Col P is an excellent officer, and his promotion is very gratifying to his numerous friends in the army. The heroism, fortitude, and patriotism of the people of this city are especially striking and gratifying to a stranger.

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 missing."

hooting between skirmishers. During the night the enemy removed their battery. On Sunday morning, after some eight or ten rounds of artillery were fired, the Yankees moved off, and left our troops in undisputed possession of the bridge. 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. The following is a list of the casualties in the Richmort. Wounded Capt. James E. Riddick, thigh, sent to Danville; Lieut. J. H. Cook, flesh wound; 2d Lieut. B. L. Wilson; private H. C. Calvert, flesh wound in the leg; private James Fletcher, ball in the shoulder. According to the dispatch of Gen. Lee this fight must have taken place on Sunday; but strengthened by the testimony of men engaged, we can but believe that the confusion of dates is simply a telegraphic error.
