THK BArTLB OF DBE«lll> ULIFF.
Afl exported and already stated, the great
battle near Drewry's Bluff was joined on Mon
day The plan of battle was conceived and
decided upon on Sunday night by the gallant
Beauregard, and as daylight broke the work
commenced. A Richmond paper thus refers to
it:
Almost before the grey of Monday morning,
our forces on the left, under the command of
Oen Hansom, marched out against the enemy,
and gave him battle. The enemy occupied a
e'rong position, and was strongly entrenched in
some fortifications that had teen evacuate I by
u- on Friday previous wiih a view of drawing
the enemy on and inducing him to venture an
assault on our inner line of fortifications. Ihib
was the enemy's right and our left, “dper
haps abou* a mile or so from Drcwry s Bluff
No sooner were our men tip than they charged
upon tile euemy w.th a perfect yell. The fight
ing grew severe, and the battle for a time,
wavered. But the onset of our men was too
much in a moment our men swept over the
iortifl' ations, and the enemy was soon in rapid
flight, leaving our men in full possession, and
the captors of four stand of colors and one
batterv. lliis movement on our left was most
handsomely executed, and all accomplished by
seven o'clock in the morning.
Driven from these fortifications, the enemy
fell back upon Mr own entrenchments and a
general adva> ce was ordered along the lines
The victory on the lett was quickly followed
up The enemy was no sooner within the en
,,, nth incuts than an order was given to charge
him Oor men advanced to the charge, but
fir fire was so terrific that cettain regiments
br< ke in confusion. Here was the trying
~o | nt the enemy must be dislodged. In an
instant soce of those men who stormed the
memorable height* of Gettysburg were ordered
up and a second charge was made. The eiiff
my’s fire was terrible making wide gaps in
our lines- but steadily our men moved on. As
thev approached, the enemy poured into them
u most trailing fire—seemingly reserving his
fire until our men were well up—sweeping
them down by rows—but not a cheek blanched
or an arm taltered. 'through a peifect sheet
of fire they marched up to the fortifications,
and with a shout of victory leaped over the
breasiworks and captured the greater portion
of the enemy's force —Gen. Heokmau mil
Mfu-ut eight hundred privates
While this was going on along our left, cmr
, <■! to and lefi weiealso pressing the enemy
with great success. A charge had teen made
n his centre, across the turnpike, by G«n.
Hoke a ,|(j he had been driven from each of his
,visit ions Here the enemy had no regular
fortifications but was well protected b\ abat
~1 ' iiv lei'.'lng nee* and other tempora
rv defence* Our a, Tillery was used against
him With great effect 7he ashiogton Artil
lery, supported by Hagood * bomb Carolina.
Brigade, who acted most gallantly.throughout,
succeeded in silencing a battery of the enemy a
consisting of three twenty pound Parrotts,
and two twelve pounder Napoleons. One ot
the Parrotts was turned upon the enemy, and
contributed to putting him to flight.
Up to this time the euemy had fought well
arid with great stubbomne.-s, but, driven from
hi* fortifications and pressed on all sides, he
began to fall back rapidly. Our victory now
became easy Dispirited and discomfitted, the
enemy showed but faint resistance, and the re
tie it was but a step removed from a rout In
charging upon them a whole regiment Uirew
down their arms and rushed into our lines
Fr m a d< /,<*! sources we have reports of their
demoralization. On official authority wo learn
that . everri hundreds of prisoners captured in
the retreat expressed the greatest alacrity to
come on to Richmond, saying that their time
was nearly out—that they were tir and of the
war—and that if they would “only show them
the road to Richmond, they would come over
without any guard being placed over them.’’
The retreat once began and too enemy gave
way taiiiilly. Our army oontinued to press
im. and 'q> io four o’clock wti had driven him
t w v . miles and a half. Our forces kept well on
bis he'ote, aud captured a good deal of artillery,
stores, ai m l 4 » n, l ammunition wliich he had
strewn alon£ the way. Several hundred pris
oners were piciri’H "I' iff squads, and many ot
them were under the influence of liquor—
showing tit at. Butler. l)ko Grant, had plied his
men with whiskey before going into battle.
This is confirmed by dozens of persons from
tho battle field, and attmits of no doubt.
It is imiiossiblo to state just now thf* fruits of
our victory, but there is no doubt that our
army won yesterday, under the gallant Beau
regard, a most brilliant success. The tight
was commenced with tile enemy posted in his
fortifications, but by seven o’clock our at my
had dislodged him, and before the setting of
tho sun he had been repulsed and driven back
to Proctor’s creek, ft distance of t-m m les or
more. The number of prisoners taken is not
yet known, but it mav be put down consider
ably over a thousand—a Brigadier General
ntnong Dip number—and perhaps later accounts
may swell it to several thousand. We captur
ed,' also, a great deal of artillery, some say as
much as twenty-six pieces—besides a quantity
of stores, ammunition. &c It may be a day or
two before we can know the extent of our suc
cess, hut in the meantime lot us be contend
with the assurance that our army, under the
invincible Beauregard, has won a great victory.
OPERATIONS IN VIRGINIA.

Paktioih.ars of Averiu.’s Raid. - The Lynch
burg Virginian gives tbe annexed account of
Averill's late raid in Western Virginia :
Averill was first met at Tazewell Court House
by Jones' Brigade, where a slight skirmish en
sued, our troops falling back to tho junction of
the Tazewell C. H. and Saltville road with the
Wytheville Turnpike, for the purpose of draw
ing them on, with a view of enclosing film be
tween the two detachments into which they
separated. Ascertaining the position of our
forces, Averilf did not pursue them, but fell
back on the road over which lie came, giv ng
it out that he in Ceded lo lelieat b ,ck to Ivan
awl
Instead, however, «>t goingt> -ok to Kanawha,
he took :he Blur Stone uuci Princeton ro d fur
tho purpose ot moving on to Wytbevill. Tu
next morning our troops advanced with the
expectation of encountering him a the torks
of the roads in question and learning the di
rection ho had taken, Col. Cook, commanding
Joints’ Brigade, started for Wytheviilo, distant
fifty-seven miles and though Averill had four
teen hums start, arrived at Wytheville two
hours before the enemy reached it. When our
pickets were driven in, the twenty fist Va.-Kegi
ment moved forward and euguged them at-
Crockett's Gap—two companies, by dismount
ing and pustiing for the Gap, reaching it a
minute or two in advance of the \ anke.t s They
inmediutely poured a volley into the enemy,
killing three ot them.
The Yankees then fell back a ‘few bundled
yards, dismounted and deployed upon the
right, lu the meantime, Jones’ entire brigade
got in position on both tides of the Gap. i lie
entfmy then made an as tec, upon the right,
commanded by Major Halsey. aud were re
pulsed. A general attack then ensued upon
our right and left and was handsomely repuls
ed, the Yankees leaving their dead and woun
ded within ren steps of our liuo. Hiseomlitted
thus, the Yankees, after a few rnomems delay,
resumed the attack upon our right and were
repulsed the third time. At this juncture,
Geu’l Morgan with the m untod portion of his
own brigade and Col. Gilmer s brigade, airiv
ed and moved upon their right aud rear, cut
ting them off from the road -by which they
approached. A general charge was then or
dered in which our tioops drove the enemy
before them.
The pursuit continued for three hours and
uutil atter dark, the enemy lighting on hoi»e
back as they Bod. They only escaped at last
by being guided through a dedle in the moun
tains by a slave belonging to Mr. Crockett,
iney were completely routed, leaving many
ot ttieir horses and arms and escaping" in the

whipping he had ever received. All accounts
agree in stating that his forces were -reatiy
demoralized, aud it is reperud that they w.;e
met by Jackson about Bait Fond Mountain and
still further beaten aud scattered.
The prisoners lakcu avowed that they were
after the sail Works, which they intended to
Wytneville in retaliation for the reception they
received there last summer. Crook, had a
large force wiih the intention of holding the
country as intrusted.
FROM VIBUISIA.
In the skirmish at Chesterfield, just South of
Drewy's Bluff May 16, we captured sixteen hun
dred prisoners, including a brigadier, his staff,
arul thirty-odd other commissioned officer*.
The enemy retreated, and was pursued for sev
eral miles.
The reserved forces of Virginia have teen
called out. Brig. Gen. Kemper has been as
signed to organizing them.
In one of the battles in Virginia General
John 15. Gordon, of Georgia, has performed a
mot brilliant achievement With six brigades
he fell upon the enemy's extreme right flank
and routed brigade after brigade, iu detad, as
fast as they came up and before they could be
put in position. He killed one Yankee Briga
dier and captured two. with five hundred priso
ners, ten thousan l stand of small arms, and
blankets anil accoutrements without nurnter.
A private leFer from Petersburg, says that
Yankee prisoners taken in the fights between
Richmond iwid Petersburg agree that old But
ler s ordeis were to take no prisoners. Butler's
forces were informed that Grant had whipped
Lee, and was rapidly advancing on Richmond,
and that it was oniy necessary for them to close
up aud annihilate the ‘•rebel” armies to putau
end to the rebellion and close the war. This
is corroborate 1 by ihe statements of deserters.
A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
savs that while Gen. Lee's army exists Rich
mend will never fall, aud all strategy to that
end will be of no effect until ft is destroyed.—
Any othei General but Grant would have, sev
eral day* ago, re- ro.-red the river and acknowl
edged himself whipped.
The Federal’s are sinking torpedoes about
Curie’s Neck cm James river.
A dispatch was received May 13 from Cap
tain McDaniel, commanding the torpedo corps,
reporting that three gunboats had passed down
to City Point from the Ar porauttox river in a
disabled and sinking condition—supposed to
have teen injured by some of our torpedoes.
The property of the Midlothian Coal Cos.,
near the Danville railroad, Va., whs left unmo

the Federal agent of exchange, “You have
your flag flying and I have mine—no barm

word* uttered than a brigade of negroes were
landed and our guard at City Point captured
under the very eyes of our Commissioner. Such
is the respect the Yankees accord to the immu
nity of a flog of truce!
Some of the negroe* impressed by the Yan
kees have escaped. They tell hard stories of

On ' ol Ike officers of Butlers’ forces who
was captured, upon being asked whe e Buf

Monroe, hut it i* most likeiy that he is iu Now
York by this time.’’
The number ol wounded soldiers, from the
late battle, on tile Rapidan, now in hospitals
in Lynchburg, is about 3,500. A large pro
portion <f t m are but slightly wounded.
The Stonewall Brigade lias suffered teiribly
in the battles of the pieseut campaign, only
3.00 men being left in the brigade. Ihe sth
Virginia haß but 131 men left. It is supposed
however, thatu number were made prisoners.
The Federate uate entrenched .themselves at
a place known as “Cat Hole,” on the Appo
mattox, a short distance this side of i’ort Wal
thall Landing.
Tin y have also thrown up strong, fortifica

as a base of operations against Richmond find
Petersburg, in the event of Grant’s failure by
the overland or Fredieksburg route. Here,
too, they will enjoy the protection of their
inevitable gunboats—the chief reliance during
this war.
The enemy made a demonstration in force
on May 20tli, in the neighbot hood of Port
Walthall Junction, a mile or two from his
base. General lloauiegard attacked him at
once, defeating and driving him bask, cap
turing a number of prisoners, besides inflict
ing severe loss in killed and wounded. Our
loss was comparatively slight.
There has arrived in Richmond ejght or ten
freight car., lo ded exclusively with Yankee
mu*kets, brought from the battle fields near
Spotsylvania 0. H. These arms bear date
1862.
Colonel Baldwin, Chief of Ordnance for Ihe
at my ol Gen. Lee, says that we have already
secured 18,000 Yankee muskets on the battle
fields in Spotsylvania-, and 4,000 in Chester
field, iu addition to five pieces of artillery. in
cluding three twenty pound Parrotts and two
Napoleons.
Aucouuts still continue to be received in
Rich ond.ol the laudaiism of the Yankee
raiders in all sections where they have been.
From all accounts it appears that Spear’s
raiding body of Yankees ha? been very rough
ly handled. A large number have been killed,
aud several hundred taken prisoners. The
Yankees destroyed ever’, thing in their course,
bpears himself was severely wounded iu one
of the engagements.
It, is said a letter was captured on the South
side from Gen. Grant, iq which he itdormed
Butler that he could not spare him any rein
forcements. us he needed all ke could get him
self. If {{’is is true. Butler ii.ufet.hsve asked for
more men, at a time TV-ten Gruut was power
less to help him.
It is now said that the death of Gen Gordon
of North Carolina, was caused by a poisoned
ball.
Gen. A G. Jenkins has died of his wounds
received in a late battle" in Western Virginia.
Two Companies of Kemper’s brigade were
captured by the Yankees during a late iaid on
Milford’s Station.

Geu W. S. Walker, was captured dining the
fight at Ware Bottom Church by the Yankees.
He was wounded in one of. his feet, and ob
liged to have it amputated.’
Yank e raiders have been laying waste
the country around Hanover Station.
On Satmday night, the enemy made a des
perate attack on Gen. Beauregard. It was so
unexpected that at first ii occasioned some
contusion. This was soon over, however, and
tkev'iTC repaired with heavy slaughter.
A.U companies of negro troops are lay
ing waste the country around Kannons, and
insulting the inhabitants. A gentleman named
Clopton has been captured among others by
them : one of the Yankee officers informed
Mrs. Cloptun, a few days ago. that her hus
band was whipped every morning by hts own
negroes.
Two small 1 resile bridges have been des

outbreak would not be a mere riot but an insur
reeticn, not a mob of thieves and rowdies but

The enormous military losses are entailing
vast sums upon the Treasury; the 100,000 west

000 men have already been lost at-Red river,
at the Rapidan, aud at Chattanooga. The Ad
ministration papers admit 40,000 iost to Grant
already.
The accounts from Banks are that 11,000 re
main out of 60.000. The battles -Of Sherman
had consumed 20,000, the North Carolina dis
asters 5,000 more. We have here 115,000 men
with all their material tors du combat.
This money means $100,000,000 added to the
demands on the Treasury, which with the
$25 000,000 for the reserves, and $36,000,000
more added to the troops, makes 3161,000,000
to be met by a destitute Treasury seriously in
arrears, and with the whole amount of author
ized legal tender of all description nearly ex
hausted, while the head of the department is
determined to borrow at 5 per cent., or not all.
This aspec' of affairs is certainly not encour
aging, and may well make merchants pause
