Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
the skirmish near Newport News.

Grove Landing, James River, Va., July 13, 1861.

Since my last communication, we have had nothing of importance on reliable authority till now. On yesterday some companies of cavalry moved in direction of Newport News, where they met a body of the enemy, (number not known) After a little resistance they routed them, with a loss to the enemy's side of thirty killed and eleven captured. One of our Captains lost a horse. No. person hurt.

[Our correspondent overstates the number of killed. The account published yesterday was probably correct]
