Letter from Virginia.
In Trenches, Newmarket Bights,)
August 18, lStil. j
Enclosed I send you a list of the
casualties of tho 15th Alabama, in
the engagement with the enemy near
Tuggle’s Mills on the 10th inst.
It* was ascertained, several days
prior to the engagement, that the en
emy had crossed a considerable force
to this side,of the James, and until
its occurrence we were engaged in
the usual skirmishing and manoeu
vring, which terminated in this short
but sanguinary battle; a battle in
which Southern valor again showed
its ability to cope with Northern
numbers.
Our lines being weakened by ex
tension, tlic enemy massed on our left
in front of Wright’s Georgia brigade
and broke through.
Troops were hastily thrown to this
point. Our boys moved with spirit
and alacrity, and, upon reaching the
front, showed Grant’s chargers how
to charge. It required a desperate
effort to retake the works, and many
a deed was performed, to engage the
pen of the historian. The “altars of
our sacrifice” were again laden with
many noble, willing martyrs, and our
bleeding country once more wrapped
in mourning. But, shedding a tear
over the graves of our fallen com
rades, let us be thankful.
Another effort to take Richmond
by tho hero of the North has failed.
Another dear lesson has been taught
our enemies, of the impossibility of
subjugating a people determined to
he free.
All quiet along our lines to-day.—
Weather intensely hot. We are all
hearty and cheerful.
I append to my list of the 10th,
one of the 14th, in a skirmish of that
date. Respectfully, .
Yankee Account ol’ Wheeler’s Raid.
The New York Herald of the 22d
lias a lung account of Gen. Wheeler’s
operations in Sherman’s rear. With
three divisions of cavalry and one
brigade of infantry ho crossed the
Chattahoochee above lloswell on the
night of the loth, and his advance
operated that night on the road at
Acwort'n. lie then crossed the Eto
wah river twenty miles above the
railroad bridge, and tire next heard
of his forces was an attack by 1500
cavalry on a guard of GOO men, two
miles cast of Calhoun, guarding a
dfove of cattle. The Yankees were
scattered in every direction and sev
enteen hundred head of fine cattle
were captured and carried away.
At the same time the railroad be
tween Calhoun and Kingston was
destroyed for a distance of four miles.
On the 15th Wheeler appeared
before Dalton and demanded its sur
render. The demand wos refused
and an attack was made, the rebels
entering the town, but Gen. Steed
man arriving with heavy reinforce
ments, they were driven out.
Later accounts represent that Kil
patrick is in pursuit of 'Wheeler.
Since the latter’s oacupation of Cleve
land, his movements have been very
mysterious.
The successful occupation of the
Weldon railroad causes great rejoic
ing at the North. Tho movement is
represented to have been attended
with the most brilliant success, and
the rebels are said to have been de
feated with great loss in their attempts
on Thursday and Friday to dislodge
tho Fifth Corps.
The Herald predicts great results
from this important movement. The
loss in holding the position has not
been ascertained, but partial returns
indicate that it is severe.
Matters continue quiet on General
Butler’s lines. The canal at Jluteh
Gap is progressing favorably.
Nothing is reported from Atlanta,
of special importance.
The Herald says there is nonloubt
that the Privateer Tallahassee ia tho
Atlanta, which was recently built on
the Thames. She is si double screw
iron steamer, said to be the finest and
best of that class of steamers launch
ed. Custom house measurement gives
her GOO tons.
From Virginia.
We take the following from the Rich
mond Enquirer of the 27th :
FROM PETERSBURG.
The news given by the press corres
pondent was reiterated by passengers on
the evening train from Petersburg yes
terdny. There had been, it seems, a se
vere tight in the vicinity of Reams’ Sta
tion, on the Weldon Railroad, in which
General A. P. Hill assaulted the enemy,
upon whom he advanced from the south,
striking in the rear. The battle com
menced about five o’clock on Thursday
evening, and took place to the cast of
Reams’. It was pretty inueb a one si
dad affair. General Hill had it all his
own way, and with comparatively slight
loss, drove the enemy from their posi
tion, killing many and capturing about
two thousand prisoners. We will doubt
less got further particulars to day.—
Meantime a general engagomentappears
to be imminent. The enemy have drawn
largely from their force in Chesterfield
and massed a powerful army on the
Weldon Road. Nothing of consequence
occurred on yesterday up to the time of
the departure of the train in the eve*
ning, yet a battle was momentarily ex
pected.
The result of Ibis battle is contained
in the official dispatch from General Lee
on the 20th. A glorious victory was gain
ed.
The enemy’s cavalry on Tuesday last
made an attempt to raid it through Din
widdic, but were encountered about ten
miles from l J etersburg, on our extreme
right, by our cavalry, and whipped back
alter a severe fight, in which our loss
was seventy in killed and wounded.
On yesterday some cavalry skirmish
ing occurred on the right of our lines,
in which the enemy were drivon baek.
The Tallahassee Out Again—llcr Dep

and the crew landed at Monhegan, and
arrived at llarp9wcll yesterday.
They report that the Captain cf the
pirate said he w»8 a Portlander, and
wanted to capture somo Portland ves

Several of tho captured men state that

in Portland for a short time a few years
ago.

the high-toned gcntitiiii.iu, and loved by ;iii who

Jiariy in life ho became convinced of fho neces

and lived an orderly,faithful member.
While many forget their vows and depart from
tho faith wo rejoice to chr< nicle tho fact that lie
was faithful to tho last, ami win never known to
bring repioaoh upon his profession or the church
to which lio belonged. When our country become
involved in war with a formidable foe who had
betnseeking long, the overthrow of fck uthern in
.stit 11 ions, early in Juno 1801, ho volunteered
lor tho defence of Soil thorn rights and tho homo of
his fathers; ho bid farewell to part-ms, brothers, lis

with the implements of warfare about, ho marched

presied pe- pie. He soon distil gui-.he’d hunsoli a
eoldierof bis common country,as well su being a
koldier of tho cross of Christ, ovur lrithlul to tho
trust reposed in him.
It seems needless hero to mention the privations
of camp life, for many who may read tins article
aro familiar with tho difficulties of each a life, and
impossible (accurately) toderrribo. For three years
did lismarch to thest.uud oi'm artiaJ musicnnu ever
ready to answer roll call at reveille and tattoo,
foregoing tho privations and sufferings peculiar to
such exffcsure. At tho battles of Corinth, Mur
freesboro, Chickamatigf. Missionary Kitlgo, and I
inauy others did he distiugush himself for cool- I
ness and bravery, and lastly at Atlanta, on tho 22d I
July, through which he passed unhurt, hut the
brave and good are not always secure from the
missiles of death. <’n tho morning of the U;Jd,
whiio miperintending ns sergoant at vidotto posit
