The fight at the Valley.

We have received some few additional particulars of the fight near Winchester on Sunday last. As stated in our issue of yesterday, our force in the engagement scarcely exceeded 3,500 One regiment was held as a reserve and from 1,500 to 1,600 of our troops failed to arrive in time to participate in the engagement.

Sergeant Tucker Randolph, Privates Grey, Picot, Annually, Genty of Renwig, Danforth, C. Taylor, and E. Taylor. Most of these were only slightly wounded. There were none of the members of the corp killed.

Among the killed and wounded in the 23d regiment, we have the following names: Lieut. E. Crump, of company H,(Richmond Sharp Shooters.) wounded, but not severely. Lieut. C. is from this city, and was an occasional correspondent for this paper, over the signature of "Ned."

Agreement who was engaged in the fight arrived at the city yesterday evening, and from we obtain some fuller particulars. On Saturday morning a brush fight took place between the commands of Col. Ashby and Chas's Artillery, and the advance guard of the agency's forces. It is alleged that it was in this fight that Gen Shields was wounded. He was wounded in the arm, which was amputated after his return to Winchester. Gen. Banks had his horse shot under him.

After the fight on Sunday the enemy retired to Winchester, and information from citizens who came out the next day states that they were engaged all night in bringing in their killed and wounded, which they admit to be not less than 1,500. Some even put it as high as 3,000.

General Jackson in person headed five different charges, each time driving the enemy back upon his reserves.

In one of the gallant charges made, a portion of Col. Fulnerson's regiment was surrounded and made prisoners. The loss of this regiment is about 150, a number of whom as doubt are in the hands of the enemy as prisoners.
