From Pensacola.
--The Burning of the Dry Dock--The Pensacola correspondent of the Columbus Sun furnishes the subjoined account of the burning of the Dry Dock, which we have heretofore briefly noticed:
Last night (Sept. 2) about 11 o'clock, the skies were illuminated by the light of a fire at the Navy-Yard which proved to be the famous Dock which old Brown refused to let us meddle with.
The steamer from the yard this morning, corroborated the belief of our citizens here, as to its being the Dock.
Many thought it was burned by the Lincolnites, but I have ascertained that it was done by orders from Gen. Bragg.

Army of the Potomac.[from our own correspondent.]another Artillery duel. Fairfax C. H., Sept. 12.
An hour ago, as I came upon the Centreville road, I called on Major Walton, of the Washington Artillery, from whom I learned that a battle took place yesterday in the vicinity of Munson's hill.
Early in the morning, information was brought in that the Federals in strong force were crossing by the Cham Bridge for the purpose of attacking our advance, and of driving us from the present commanding position.
Captain Rosser, of the second company of the Washington Artillery, having four guns, two rifled cannon, and two howitzers, were sent out to engage them.
Their battery was supported by three companies of infantry, of Colonel Kemper's regiment, consisting of three hundred and eight men, and a small body of cavalry.
The Federals were met at Louvansville, five miles from Falls Church, and about the same distance from the bridge, where a sharp and decisive battle commenced, w
