our 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 deep downwards between the eyes, fracturing the nasal bone. The ball, a fall size Minnie, was finally extracted from the left nostril by incision. The operation was a skillful one in every way, being performed by Dr M S Craft, Senior Surgeon of Harris's brigade. 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.

ut strengthened by the testimony of men engaged, we can but believe that the confusion of dates is simply a telegraphic 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,

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. 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

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 reinforcementsGen 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." 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.

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.

orning 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 Staunton river bridge. From Christiansville a road leads due east to Lawrenceville, in Bruns wick county. That the yankees were on their way back to the main body of their army, as surmised by Gen. Lee, seems very probable. In the passage of the enemy through Nottoway they swept the county of horses, mules and negroes. One citizen that we have heard of was, however, exempted from a visit of the Yankees, for which he has ample reason to thank his good fortune.--His negroes behaved in a most commendable manner. When the enemy were known to be approaching, the overseer told the

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. 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 occur
