Operations around Richmond — the battle not renewed yesterday — firing at Chaffin's Bluff — another steamer destroyed in St. John's river, &c. The news from the Southside is meagre, though interesting as showing the extent of the enemy's defeat in the battle of Monday. Our forces continued the pursuit until the Yankees were driven across Proctor's creek, a distance of three miles below Drewry's Bluff. The latest advices represent that they had gone to their entrenchments in the of Bermuda Hundreds, and under cover of their gunboats. The line of battle extended from the river to the Petersburg Railroad, and formed the segment of a circle. General Beauregard had received information that the enemy contemplated an attack upon his left, and that they had troops on their right for the purpose, expecting, no doubt, to break through our lives with comparative case. Acting upon this, he strengthened his left without weakening his right, and, without waiting for them to commence <

dispatch was received at the War Department yesterday. Charleston, May 10, 1864. To Gen. S. Cooper. Gen. Anderson telegraphs me that another of the enemy's steamers was blown into fragments yesterday by a torpedo in the St. Johns, a short distance below Jacksonville. She had two guns aboard, and was lowing a schooner. The latter escaped. It is not known how many lives were lost. This is the third steamer that has met this fate in St. Johns river in the last forty days. Samuel Jones, Maj Gen. A raiding party in Mississippi.

some force in that locality is proved by the act that our pickets below the Bluff were driven in yesterday morning by infantry, but their numerical strength is not believed to be large. At five o'clock yesterday evening the enemy's gunboats were in full view of Chaffin's Bluff. Major General Pickett has recovered from his recent indisposition, and resumed command of his old division. On of the captured Yankee officers, in conversation at Drewry's Bluff, expressed the hope that Butler would be taken prisoner, and manifested no little curiosity to learn what would be done with him in such an event. The Beast appears to be unpopular, even with his own officers. It is reported that he has gone to Fortress Monroe, by way of placing himself beyond the reach of danger. The Southside is now the chief point of interest to residents of the capital, and it is fortunate that we have a commander in that locality in whom the people have full confidence. Gen.
