Schoepff, reinforce ments were forwarded from Sianodsbuvg, and the reserve was strengthened by two regiments left ;if Somerset arid a battery.— This reserve then consisted of four regi ments, under Gnl Yamlerveer, of t lie Thirty fifth (>hio Hegimcnt. she intention of Gen. Buell—who, in his quarters at Ijonisvillo, appears to have plan nod tin* whole a flair—was, that the two forces <>t ‘i homas and Sehoepft’should attack ZolHeofl’er in his intrenchmeiirs at tiie same time. But, with a vigor oh design aud exe cution worthy* of being exercised with more success in a better c*au*-e, Gen. Zollieofter, with a force of about men, marched out on the. night of 1 Sth in-t , and, at an early* hour on S’mulay, the 10th inst.., at tacked Gen. Thomas’ t'nr**e in bis camp, at the point i have described, and which is fa miliarly known as Webb’s Gross Iliads, and .situated ou \\ oil.tfreek. Although it can not be said that Gen Thomas was taken by surprise, it is not and. finitely .settled that lie anticipated any attack. But, iu ik- close proximity in which he was to Gen. Zollieof ier, he torfle every precaution, and when, at an early hour, and luf -re dawn of day, ids piekols were driven l»y the advancing Dirce, the main body was aroused and prepared to receive the rebels. The cannonading began about four o’clock iii the morning, and the engagement became general shortly aftei wards. Instead <*f suc ccediug in hi de.-igu ol surprising General Tht-iuas to liis ramp, General Zolliroffi-j --found tin- wiiole iore*y fresh from a long flight s rest, prepared to receive the weary columns he had rapidly marched to tin* field. In numbers lie was indeed -nperior. Ilis force of cavalry and ho. artillery were ol su perior numbers and character to our ouu; hut tin* sequel shows that they weiV uni . *. . * managed with more tact and judgment. - That the con fin t, on both sides was terrific, is evinced by ihe casualties reported. That. lit?" re riels fought gallantly tli«*i«* is no reason to doubt, and the long conhnuance of so tlesporatc u light evinces fully the ]»luek and spirit of the troops etiinjmsiug i*.*iit ar mies.

And it is not improbable that it might have resulted less bottorahly tor ourselves had not one of those chances which so often iuflnence suck events di ekh4 it in our favor. At about ten minutes past three o’clock the Fourth Kentucky Regiment-, deploying on the flank oi the rebels, by some means approached the position assumed by the re bel (icfleral eommauding, aud a shot from the pistol cf Col. Fry is said to have inflict ed the wound which resulted in the death of Gen.Tal Zollicofter.

One o| the most elegant of those, in his account, of the doings of the infamous Gockburn on Mu* Chesapeake, and the losses of tin* Virginians, says: “A con. siderablo English ileet was collected in the 1 bay, near the Capes, and in Lynhaven har bor. * * To meet the emergen cy, large bodies of militia from the upper counties had been ordered down to thr sea board. 1 'nosed to the malaria of the sum mer season in lower Virginia, these met; fell sick in numbers. Many of them <Li**«l in and near Norfolk, and the sick list bore an appalling face.” What is here generalized —the simple taet stated—my brief relation will illustrate. The authority is a. lady of Warwick county, and 1 shall present "the short story almost in her own words. It was 3' follows: * * 1 recollect once hearing an old lady relate an iiwidenl which pictured fomv mind the horrors ol war morn foreiblv than all the historic s 1 have ever read, £he re sided in the old county of New Kent, ly ing ju t below Itii hmond, and her father \va ■ the J eep, r, :»r ibaf time, ol nn ..rdinaiy upon the main road runuirig East and West Norfolk was beseigfd by a liritkh fb-ei un der the man who afterwards pooiitted Ids brutal soldiers to inHiei rm h wituton .aid rages n|,on the defenceless woim*ji and < liii dren (»i the sea-hr.ard—the in fa m*-us Admi ral (Nekton 11-—and volunteers from dilferent portion of Virginia were fiockiiiH tot’ranev J land, where the bailie n.t afterward* fought and the ciiemv detected, The <dd lady said 11 *:» t these companies fritpiently halted ut her talhei tavern on th< i: nay to the sea-Kaard; and .ne morning, i hand numbering from one hundred and fifty to two hundred of tin- finest looking men she had ever seen, thu stopjied to feed and wa ter t heir horses f<.r the day’s journey They stated that they were from Buckingham county, on their way to (Vaney fsluid, and boasted of their health and strength.

The old lady heard no more of them fur several weeks, and the incident of their stopping had almost passed ! from her recollection, w hen, as she sat one I- dav at her father’s door, u man upon horse back appeared upon the road, slowly nd .vaneiug from the direction of Williamsburg. As he came nearer, she was struck with his feeble and emaciated appearance—and indeed iie scarcely seemed able to sit upon his horse. He was deadly pale, and bent in the saddle, as though he would at any moment fall to the ground. When he came opposite, he checked his horse, and alighting with diffi culty, dragged himself slowly to the door of the tavern. Here pausing a moment and leaning upon the railing which ran along the (torch, be seemed about to taint, lie did ) not. however, but painfully tottering across the il.ior of the common rooi.i, he fell upon a bed beyond, where for some time, he seem ed so completely exhausted that be could YOU MK XXXI X—NO M. not utter a w<*rd Every a d-taneo \» . rendered him. and gradually his strength i.*- tnrned, and at h*f | t H speech.
