S. S. Lee, Capt. C. S. N. All day yesterday, as we ascertained last evening from a gentleman who left Bermuda Hundreds at 4 P.

Several hundred Federal army wagons were seen at Berkeley, Charles City county, yesterday morning early, by citizens of Prince George. They communicated with a small tug lying out in the stream, but none of them were embarked. The wagons were protected by Federal cavalry, and known to be empty from the rattling noise which they caused when they were driven up. A detachment of Stuart's cavalry could easily bag all this valuable game. Parties from Drewry's Bluff, who arrived here last night, report heavy firing of cannon, and rapid discharges of musketry, all day yesterday across the river. The fight was evidently progressing on the north of the James, but no accounts of results had reached Richmond last night at ten o'clock. We have positive information that the enemy were reinforced yesterday from below. We know not the extent of the reinforcements, but the V
