[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch] Camp near Centasvills, Fairfax county, Va. Dec. 24th. About 9 o'clock last Friday night an order was received calling out cur regiment (the 18th Virginia) to repair as hurriedly as possible to Drainsville, the scene of conflict of the previous day. We marched as fast as we could without going at the double quick. We arrived at or near a church, known as the Frying-pan Church, about 2 o'clock of the same night. We had no blankets with us at all — simply our overcoats — to protect us from the rigor of the cold. We procured fence calls, which we diddled with case; after which we laid down on the naked earth.--Some of our regiment, however, remained up the remainder of the night. At early dawn the next morning the drum beat the signal for the formation of our regiment. We

and we therefore felt the more inclined to exert ourselves to give warmth to our bodies. We had no idea of going so far when we started, but willing to follow Gen. Stuart anywhere, even to the banks of the Potomac. Onward, still onward we went, winding our way up and down circuitous and zigzag roads, which, though wearisome, wer taken the day before — both her father, Dr. Day, and a Mr. Day. They were charged, she said, with fighting against them on a certain occasion on the Potomac. Gen. Stuart mean while proceeded to have his wounded placed aboard the ambulances and wagons. Our men cheerfully assisted in bearing them out of the house and putting themur own and a Georgia regiment, where the day before, four regiments and a battery had received a defeat.

She was very sprightly; said that her father had been taken the day before — both her father, Dr. Day, and a Mr. Day. They were charged, she said, with fighting against them on a certain occasion on the Potomac. Gen. Stuart mean while proceeded to have his wounded placed aboard the ambulances and wagons.

Stuart mean while proceeded to have his wounded placed aboard the ambulances and wagons. Our men cheerfully assisted in bearing them out of the house and putting them in the conveyances. These ladies with their mothers had come up from their comfortable homes, bringing with them beds and bed clothes. They also prepared soups and such like delicacies suited to the conditions of the wounded. As they were being placed on the ambulances, one of the ladies remarked that that was her patient. I told her I prophesied for him a speedy recovery, having been nursed under such favorable auspices. These things over, I

Corporal B--,who was one of the number who accompanied me to the field, put himself to some trouble to ascertain the number of the dead, which he says was thirty-four. Passing on farther down, we saw a calison which had been set on fire by a bomb from the enemy, causing immediate explosion, which I am told, caused the instant death of two men of the Sumter. Artillery, of Georgia. The head of one of them was entirely severed from the body, that of the other cut off just above the nose. I never saw such a sight before. Our killed was thirty-four and as many wounded. The enemy are supposed to have sustained but a small loss--three killed and thirty or forty wounded. The Federal victory is owing of course to the superiority of their position; we could not get our battery in position for action, at least but one or two pieces. Some sixteen of our artillery horses w

The block, in which there were three stores, is owned by Daniel F. Carter Esq, and was insured to the amount of $10,000--$5,000 in the Nashville Commercial Insurance, and $5,000 in Themas's Agency of the Augusta Insurance and Banking Company.
