States on the 5th of September, 1861, and received his present commission on the 21st of August, 1862. From Petersburg. Advices from Petersburg state that Grant has sent two corps of his army away, and is sending more; and, by way of confirmation, we have intelligence from the Northern Neck which represents that, as late a seen on Chesapeake Bay moving in the direction of Washington. These facts go far to show that the campaign on the James and Appomattox is virtually ended, though Grant will doubtless keep a considerable force in front of Petersburg with a view to convincing the Northern people that he intends to fight it out on that line, and thus sustain his reputation for a while. It is reported that Grant has been at Harper's Ferry for the purpose of holding a consultation with Sheridan in regard to movements in that quarter.

The evidence that the Yankees have now more apprehensions for the safety of Washington than expectations of the fall of Richmond is now full enough to satisfy any reasonable man.--Their anticipations of success in the "On-to-Richmond" enterprise were high and enthusiastic until their disastrous failure and repulse on the 30th of July, but since that event their whole aspect seems changed, and their anxiety now is to provide themselves with a coat of mail for their own protection. Persons residing opposite Drewry's Bluff state that they distinctly heard the explosion, of which so much has been said, on Tuesday last. They describe it as a heavy report, succeeded by a number of flashes and a dense column of smoke. They were of the opinion that it was the explosion of an ammunition boat near Bermuda Hundred; but

er of horses were killed. From the Valley. The latest news we have from our army on the Northern border is from Yankee papers of the 9th, which state that "the rebels" had again left Maryland and were reported to be retreating on Winchester. Whether this be true or not, we have no doubt they are near enough to our enemies to create a considerable degree of consternation throughout the Yankee dominions. A private dispatch, received here yesterday, states that our forces under McCausland and Bradley Johnson met with a slight reverse at Moorefield last Sunday, but nothing like the disaster announced by the Yankee papers. Four hundred and thirty prisoners, captured by General Early in the Valley and Maryland, have arrived at Lynchburg. It is stated that Colonel William E. Peters, of the Twenty-first Virginia cavalry, was captured recently in Maryland by the enemy. The Petersburg Express of yesterday announces the receipt of a dispatch putting Bradley Johnson's lo

ssee, so far uninjured, steamed towards the whole fleet, and after an obstinate fight, surrendered — her rudder disabled, her smoke-stack carried away, and, as we suppose, her crew in an exhausted and smothering condition. On the Tennessee, Admiral Buchanan severely wounded by a splinter in leg, two killed and several wounded. On the Gaines, two killed and two wounded. On the Morgan, one wounded. On the Selma, eight killed, including her executive officer, Lieutenant J. H. Comstock, and seven cted considerable damage upon the enemy. --Though finally overcome, our brave seamen exhibited no sign of fear, but fought until the last with a gallantry and pluck which speaks well for the material of the Confederate States navy. Admiral Franklin Buchanan, who was wounded and captured in the engagement, was the only officer of that rank in the navy. He was born in Maryland, and appointed from that State. He originally entered the naval service of the United States on the 28th of Januar
