By the vandal's own story (on the register page of the book,) it was stolen from the residence of Dr. Frederick Power, at Yorktown, who no doubt values it very highly, as it contains his family records.

d in the severe conflict on Tuesday last was in command of a company. The color- bearer of the 38th Virginia regiment having fallen, the colors were taken by the Lieutenant- Colonel, who was also shot down. Adjutant Daniel then took them, and while rushing into the conflict he received three gunshot wounds in succession--one in the breast, another in the arm, and a third in the thigh, which knocked him down.

While there were some very fine specimens of well developed manhood in this aggregate of human depravity, the majority were not calculated, from their appearance, to produce any favorable impressions.

g, one man alone capturing 25. The latest. I was reported by a gentleman who came up last night, that about 100 vessels were near Berkeley, and that a large force of the Federals was gathered there.

A member of Stuart's Cavalry, who left t, a distance of about one urile, estimates them at 6,000. This is doubtless an exaggeration, but all who have seen them state their probable number at a very high figure. It is conjectured by some as probable that McClellan contemplates making Berkeley a base of operations for another "onward march to Richmond," and therefore he is causing his wagons and other valuables to be congregated at this point. The water here is very deep, affording fine anchorage for his transports and gunboats, and
