Leaving the Federal capital, he made his way to this city, with the full expectation of finding Gen. McClellan and his Captain here. In this, however, he was slightly mistaken; and as he seemed to be short of hands, the generosity of Marshal Griswold found him accommodations in Castle Godwin. The 2d South Carolina Brigade--miraculous This brigade, attached to Longstreet's division was under the immediate command of Col. Jenkins, of the Palmetto Sharpshooters, in the bloody fight of Monday evening, June 30th.

Shaw, they drove to their gunboats, 50 of the enemy's cavalry and the Tammany regiment of the city of New York, killing three and capturing the same number. Two- thirds of the prisoners and all the miles were taken within range and sight of the Monitor and another gunboat, said to be the Galene, lying at Haxall's, on James river. On another occasion, Lieut. Fisher, of the Legion, with fourteen men, assisted by Lieut. Yager of the 10th cavalry, with two men, captured fifty-three of the Bucktall Rifles, who are now in prison in this city. Slightly mistaken.

The command reached Shirley about 1½ A. M., when they bivouacked until daybreak, as the night was too dark for any operations. At daybreak the command was formed and cavalry scouts were sent out by Col. Nance and Capt. King, of Cobb's. Legion, when it was discovered the enemy were not present. N

Diligent inquiry up to a late hour last night failed to elicit any information explanatory of these reports. Many persons residing along the line of the Norfolk railroad, who arrived yesterday evening, state that they heard the firing very distinctly in portions of Sussex and Prince George. A couple of Yankee prisoners taken yesterday, near Hood's, Prince George, were brought in by our pickets yesterday afternoon. They were members of some Pennsylvania cavalry regiment, attached to McClellan's army, and looked as little like equestrians as they did like honest men. One of them was entirely barefoot, both shabbily dressed, and apparently much jaded. They gave but little information, and evidently did not tell all they knew. They both agree that McClellan's army has recently seen as much of the South as they desire, and would gladly

Both infantry and artillery fought with determined valor, and the names of those gallant leaders, Mahone, Wright, Armistead, and Ransom, will not soon be forgotten by their country. The list of killed and wounded attests the unflinching bravery of the division. From the South side.

Siegle, Fremont, Banks, and Shields combined. They have not been able to catch him yet, and, from all accounts, I think they have been hurt pretty near as bad as he was. Samuel wrote that he wished Jackson would come that way, that the reserves would give him fits. Why, boys, if he would come that way, he would eat you up, Sam's horn and all.

The gallantry of the Palmetto Sharpshooters is especially commended. Col. Jenkins made some almost miraculous escapes. His horse was twice shot, his bridle rein out in two at his hand, a part of his sword carried away by a grape, and broken close to his side by a Minnie, his sword knot cut, an India rubber blanket perforated fifteen times, and his right
