From General Lee's army. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Northern Virginia, March 6th, 1864. The excitement which permeated the entire army from Monday until Friday has subsided, and quiet again reigns supreme on the Rapidan. In addition to the injuries previously mentioned as having been committed by the raiders, I learn that they destroyed, in their retreat from Charlottesville, the Page Flouring Mill, in the county of Green, and the flouring mill of Gen. R. A. Banks, in the county of Madison. In the latter mill there was, I am told, a large amount of wheat and flour, which was of course destroyed.--Many of the negroes who were carried off by the enemy contrived to effect their escape, and have returned to their masters within our lines. The heavy firing heard here on Thursday a said to have been target firing by the enemy in Culpeper county.

by the divisions of Major-Generals Heth and Pender, of Lieut.-Gen. A. P. Hill's corps, in that day's engagement. And here it may not be improper to say that I have somewhat inverted the mutual sequence of events in speaking of the operations of Ewell's corps in advance of Gen. Hill's, inasmuch as Heth's division, of the latter corps, first became engaged with the enemy; but as the history of each corps is complete in itself, I hope the reader will pardon the method I have chosen to pursue in n position, and a few shots were fired, scattering the enemy's cavalry videttes and killing Major--General Reynolds, then commanding the Yankee forces at Gettysburg, Meade not having arrived. This, be it remembered, was the opening of the ball. Ewell did not come into action until some time later in the day. The division was now within one and a half miles of Gettysburg, and was disposed as follows: Archer's brigade of Tennessean on the right of the turnpike, Davis's brigade of Mississip

as this Lieutenant Roberts, of the 2d Mississippi, observing some distance off but neaer the enemy's than our own fires, two groups, each consisting of from seven to ten men, and each guarding a stand of colors, called for volunteers to take them. Four gallant spirits from his own and an equal number from the 42d Mississippi regiment readily responded, and soon a dash is made for the colors. A hand-to-hand fight ensued, in which all on both sides were either killed or wounded except private McPherson, who killed the last Yankee color-bearer and brought off the colors, Lieut. Roberts being killed just as he was seizing one of the colors. On the right of the road Archer encountered heavy masses of the enemy on his front, and his gallant brigade, alter being surrounded by overwhelming numbers in front and on both flanks, was forced to fall back. Brig.-Gen. Archer, with some sixty or seventy of his men, were here captured. The enemy having now been felt and found to be in heavy

ell. Pettigrew's men now became engaged with a large body of the enemy, and fought with a courage worthy of their gallant leader. The 11th North Carolina, Col. Leventhorp, and the 26th, Col. Bergwyn, displayed conspicuous gallantry. The 26th, indeed, lost more than half its numbers; among them Col. Bergwyn being killed, and Lieut.-Col. Lane being severely wounded. The 11th also lost its Major, (Ross,) who was killed, whilst Col. Leventhorp was severely wounded. Brockenbrough's gallant Virginians were no idle spectators in these bloody scenes — they were emphatically heroes in the strife. Fighting with their usual gallantry and dash, they bore down every opposing foe, capturing two stands of colors and a number of prisoners. This division had now broken through and driven back two lines of the enemy, when it was found that most of the brigades were without ammunition. The division of Major-General Pender was at once ordered to relieve Maj.-Gen. Heth, which they did, and continue
