Tbe fellowing extraet from e Inter, written by Captain Wm. H. Worth to a friend in this city, gives a graphic account of bia daring onslaught 00 the enemy near Newport News some weeks since; and, as it Is the first au thorised version of a remarkable Incident of the war, which has been variously reported, wa give the statement in full In Capt. Werth’e own wordi, deeming it well worth a place in our column*: " I left our encampment at Bethel in com mand of twenty dragoons, selected from the Hampshire Dragoons, Capt. Phillips—himself making one of tba party. My object was a olose reeonnoiscance of the enemy's position at Newport News. “ Haring reached a point about 3} miles from that post, I observed, with the aid of my glass, eight men clustered together on the chore, above the enemy’s works, and in a mo ment afterwards saw them in full run towards their encampment. At the time of making this observation, I was aoeompanied by Capt. Phillips and three privates, the remainder of the detachment beiog in the rear. It being indispenaable to the attainment of my object that this picket should be intercepted in order to prevent alarm at the post, we daahed down the road, (runniog parallel with the river and leading to Newport News,) for tome 8 miles in pursuit, when I detached Captain Phillips and his three men to the right to cut off their retreat, while I pressed on still further to wards tbe fortification to make aure of inter cepting them if thev escaped Capt. P. When about three hundred yards of Newport News, and having turned towards the river, I found myself within fifty yards of a party of the enemy, engaged in ouning wood, their mus kets stacked around a pine tree. Not having been observed by them, I drew up under cov er of a thicket, and found the party to consist of twenty-seven privates, one commissiontd officer and one non-commissioned offioer. “Just then the piokel guard, wbiob Capt. Phillips' party bad failed to out off, rushed into tbe camp of a Massachusetts regiment, encamped outside of the works and not more than one hundred and sixty yards from where I was, and sounded the alarm. 1 saw that whatever I had to do must be done quiokly ; ■0 I drew my revolver, gave a real Ca.nanebe war-whoop and dashed imo the party of twen ty-nine, all told. My first shot was at tbe officer in command, who fell dead ; my second at a private, with the same result; my third missed its aim, in consequence of my horse becoming very restive snder tbe shooting and firing, nod I killed a mule—perhaps the most respeoiable Individual of tbe whole party. “ My about being answered by Capt. Phil lips and bis party, the enemy conoeived them selves attacked by a formidable force, and yelling, “look out! look out! these Virginia horsemen are upon ns I” they rushed in oon- sternation toward* their encampment, not stopping even to seise their arms. “The Massachusetts regiment started two companies down to protect their party, but upon meeting them flying in all directions, and bearing the firing and shouting, caught the panio, and raising the cry of “Virginia Horsemen I Virginia Horsemen!” took tbe doobl*>qulok also for camp. In lese than two miontes after my shoot and firing, my whole detachment earoe up at the top of their speed, when we swept up tbe soelivity on tbe left flank of the Massachuse is Regiment, gave three oheert, within 150 yards of a battery of two twelve pound field piece*, and retired at a walk until we reached the woods. “It atoms that tbe report of a prisoner, taken at tbe battle of Bethel, that we stampe ded the whole regiment; as they all took refuge from “th* Virginia Horsemen" within the fortifications at fast as their lege could carry them. We snepeeted as mnoh at the time. “This it a correot statement of an incident that has been so variously staled in the pa pers. Altogether, it wee tbe rioheet scene I ever witnessed, and to hear the Hessians •creaming, “Virginia Horsemen ! Look out! look oat!" with only one man after them, was worth a whole week of one’s life. “Capt. Phillips and bis men proved them selves on this oeoaeton, to be of the very best material for any emergency." WANTED! QO M E eight or ten good joornyemeo Hattere, to O make wool and Fur Hate.

The tallest men enlist ed in the army of the late United States were from the State of Georgia, where out of one hundred enlisted, thirty were six feet and over; while tbe shortest men were from New York, where only four out of one hundred were six feet. The tallest recruit from Georgia wss six feet six and a half inches high. The tall est man from New York waa six feet one inch and a half. The main height of the Georgians was five feet eight inches; that of the New Yorkers five feet six inches. The Boathern and Western States produce the tallest men and the Middle and Eastern State* the short est.
