The force engaged was not a portion of the command which entered Maryland, but simply a party stationed at Winchester as a guard. All the property captured by our "army of invasion" has reached a place of security, and will speedily be rendered available to the Confederate cause. All accounts received of thed that some fifteen hundred of the enemy fell to rise no more, and only six were made prisoners. It is probable that a considerable number were drowned in their attempt to recross the Shenandoah. Yankee deserters. A private letter from Maryland, dated the 11th of July, states that the country below Washington swarms with deserters from the Federal army, endeavoring to make their way to their homes.

the Yankees were perfectly docile, and desisted in a great measure from their accustomed practice of shelling the city. It was currently reported yesterday that Grant was again "changing his base" by making a movement to the North side of James river; but we have been unable to learn that it has any foundation in fact. The only thing known with certainty is that some movement has been in progress in the enemy's camp, but the people of Petersburg seem to be as much mystified in regard to iheir discretion, and thus fell into the hands of the Confederates. Affairs down the river. We learned last night, from a perfectly reliable source, that the enemy crossed a small force of infantry on their pontoons to the north side of James river on Friday night, but none since.

A private letter from Maryland, dated the 11th of July, states that the country below Washington swarms with deserters from the Federal army, endeavoring to make their way to their homes.

The enemy are still shelling Fort Sumter, and on Monday last threw as many as 196 shells into it. On Morris Island the Yankees are building a shed house, intended, it is supposed, for the confinement of the Confederate General officers under fire. Recent high tides have a good deal damaged the Yankee works on the island. To show the magnitude of the recent movements on Charleston, we copy the following circular, issued by Gen. Foster upon the inauguration of the expedition: Confidential circular. Headq'rs Dep't of the South, sHilton Head, S C, June 29, 1864. The following instructions

A Mormon Settlement in Western Virginia. --The Wheeling (Va) Intelligencer says: We learn that there is in the town of South Wheeling a society of Mormons who practice all the doctrines of that sect except that of polygamy. We have had a conversation with an Englishman who belongs to the society, and who firmly believes in all the peculiar notions of the Latter Day Saints. He says he was converted to the faith since his arrival in this country. In his opinion all the churches to which Gentiles usually attach themselves are wonderfully corrupt. He has not had a physician in his house for five or six years. Cases of sickness are cured by anointing and by laying on of bands, according to the customs of the New Testament.
