' A correspondent of the Petersburg Eq thus notices two Yankee Generals c?pti some time since : A RRACE OF ?ANEEE CEN ERA LS. The Yankac Brigadier Generals Seyn and Shaleo, wore quartered at Gordons for a day, with some five or six Lune prisoner-is-enroute fer Charlottesville citizens and soldiers at the village were affi ed a fine opportunity of seeing theta all, they were brought into the very heart of place, and the guard were not very stric keeping out-siders outside of their line march. A Yankee private however, b< but a common object to look upen', and every attractive at that, the general atleul was "directed to the two Brigadiers, who often as they showed themselves, were cb iv scrutinized. With many other officer lowtr grade, they are unworthy occupant a building in which one of General Li .horses bad been just previously quar'.ei .Deforeeniering this building, Seymour 1 che impudence to make a speech to the ero ?if Confederate soldiers and citizens s'.aud atToottd, which, thom: h much taken by s prise ?torear, they received in qutet. J words ?ere pretty much to this effect: wish to. God General Lee would whip Gene Grant-even rout him, r.nd. burn Wtudrii ton, take Baltimore, destroy Philadelp; and bum Boston, for then we would sh ovou what war realty is." lie meant, of cour rvhat any successes cn lU? part of the CV . -^derates, would unite tba Northorn peo .and arouse them to greater-energy in this 1 ?Loly war. G?nerai Seymour isa man r-f .slender hui and apparently delicate constitution.

Hte'capaci a-s tested by Lis succ?s:; ir? this war, prov Lim to be better suited for the position corporal than a Brigadier. Ile is a pr?t fellow, wears his hair' short, and his bim mustache and whiskers curl very graceful: Ile was rejoiced to learn that a negro corot al captured from Grands army was to be: occupant, of the honse, and when he ?irter grasped, the negro's hand in the most cordi manner, natch to tbe di;gu-.t ol' CEtCEltAL SHAJ.ltR.

His request was not granted, ai Shaler was compelled to make'tbe be.>t o? h predicament. Shakr^staDds six feet iu L . hoots, the tops of which -risc above his knee He was dressed in bandsomedark, blue clot and were a gilt strap across each shoulde with a star iii the center. Ile wore a lon sandy-colored moustache, but keeps his fa< clean, and dons a sugar loaf hat with an c: ceedingly broad-brim. His age is n?t mot .than thirty years; Like Seymour, Le ha scarcely been in the " Army of the Potomac Jong euough to know what brigade Le con snaaded, before Le was taken prisoner. VERT GRATEFUL TO THE CONFEDERATES. Among tLc prisoners who reached Goi ?onsville shortly after the battle of the Wi dcrness, was a Yankee Colonel, who expres sed biaisetfas exceedingly delighted at Li capture, ittdeed, we learned, that bc ?ftere no resistance to beiug made prisoner, ll openly said that lie would not take ten thoi sand dollars for his present position ; and h would not go through the battles that Grat -will have to fight fur tLc whole world, li was grateful ior Lis capture, and was ?ot alon in Lis gratitude, for many others were wit iiim-both officers and privates, who were i abe finest spirits at the prospect of a sboi % jrest in Virginia. HAD AK Or.JECTiON. A large body of Yankee prisoners remain .eil at Gordonsville for some time waiting fu ?ur wounded to be transported to Charlottes ville, Staunton, Lynchburg und elsewhere sud in tbs meantime it was proposed Ly Foin of the Confederate chaplains to hold religiou ?ervico with them. -'But permission nais ftr.st be asked from Major the Commabdtm isfljeer of the poit.

Thousand of pairs of &bjftsr and boots, splendid or? cloths, coats, plants, knapsacks, haversacks, etc., *were brought ; from thc field. But the two latter were al-J ways of much greater interest to the* soldierJ than the others. ?h them are found the - ra tions and clothes and all tho little " notions" of the Yankee. Sugar and coffee are-always acceptable te a hungry man, w-hile stationery', Emrscs of money, good underclothing and the ike are not to be despised in tbeso times. Hundreds of daguerreotypes were also taken from the dead bodies of Yankees and preserv ed hy the captors. Watches and rings and breast-pins innumerable were gathered among the spoils of the fields. J-tr one instance, it is ? related that five watches were 'taken from cue dead Yankee, who, no doubt, before his death, had plundered them from tho dead bodies of hi.i comrades. Money, in many instances, was found in considerable sums, but most always in greenbacks and seldom \ in specie. Thc fields', owing lo the rapidity ; of movements in both armies, were not half j plundered, ?ad thegreator portion of thespoils j still remains. r j From Yankee Lund. . Northern dates of thc 29tk have been re '. cetved. The popers coutain little except comments ! ion thc late Yankee reverses and prognostica-. \lions of the probable success of Grant's new., movements. Thc Florida destroyed tho ship Avon, of ' Boston, ou the .29th of March. On Friday night last, a3 appears from the New Orleans papers of Saturday, ten Steam boats were burn* in New Orleans. The New Yonc Times of theist inst., be rates Butler for the failure of his campaign on the Southside, admits a signal defeat at Drew ry's Bluff", and attributes the failure to But ler's misraanagement. The Radical Republican Convention ht Cleveland nominated Fremont for J reeideni. John Cochrane,-of New York, for vice President. Lincoln's name was only mentioned id de rision. ( Butler's medical director puts his loss ii^ the great fight of Monday at five thousand, exclusive ol' I?cckmau's brigade, which is re-; ported as nearly all.missing. Edward Pollard has beeu scat to Fort La fayette. Bolle Boyd bas been released. The gunboats are .reported to havesucceed* ed in Cv>cap:r.g down the Red River. Conventions have been hold in Louisville. Delegates to Uhica?p Convention were instruc ted to vote for McClellan. Those to the Bal timore Convention lor Lincoln. The Cincinnati Commercial's correspon dent at Resaca on the 1-lth says : The heav iest fighting of the campai-u occurred to-day. tbough'indei'jstve in result1. Juraiib's division was badly cut up, Miles' brigade hising nearly half ifs men. Hooker's corps lost heavily. The total losses on the Oth are estimated at from -1,000 to 5,000 wounded: The killed amount to .%0. The rebel loss is as great, if not greater. Nearly lour thousand- prisoners and deserters were captured. . . The Tinics's editor says : <:Tt roust he con fessed (hat the close of the third week is, upon the whole, neiiher flattering nor promising to thc National arms. Strikeout Sherman's success, and the record would tell heavily . against lite North iii Virginia. Our armies are substantially' to-day where they woroon thc ?rft w eek Ol' thc campaign. Grant, since he met Le-'*, is not a rod nearer the Rebel capital. Butler is safe in bis entrenchments, protected by gunboats on'bis (tanks, in six battles, in which the entire Federal forces have been engaged," Butler and Siegel have both lwcii defeated; and Grant, after tremen dous tiroi ts and costly sacrifices, hos only re tained bis portion. His h?s is unpar niel led in thc record of war. Within three weeks near S^OOO have been killed, .10,000 wounded; and 6,000' captured. Despite three Year* of tremendous slaughter, the rebel armies seem greater than ever." The New York Daily News says 70.000 will be ? moderate estimate of the losses in Virginia. Speculations. ' Tyrone Powe:/' tho correspondent of the Augusta U?n9li!titi?r.(diol, ?rem Rich mond, wji^s as follow-;, Lee's present positron is ono tint would ! sfctu to be of great .natural advantages, as now understood: his forces arc immediately? North of the juuctiou nf thc ('entrai and Frcdcricksburg Railroads. On the North:' his fr#nt is secure by the North Anns ? on thc Fast, thc same stream protects bis right flunk ; and his ivar is defended by. the prox- < imity of Little River and some swamps, thus leaving his left wing alone uncovered by some natural defence. On this wing, accordingly, it is that Grant is making his assault. AW ready a portion of his forces have crossed at ? Jericho Ford, some twelve miles rearer to j our line than the old Porlersville Road, along j which it was thought be would advance. By I crossing at this point, the opposing foi ces aro ? brought in such close proximity, only live or I six miles apart, that an early and desperate j action is inevitable, unless Lee should fall : back over the Little River to thc South Anna. I From certain information, not uow proper to divulge, 't is highly probable truck will bc j his policy, m which case Grant's further ad - j yance will bo for some time delayed. By such a falling bade upon our part, he would .?rain possession of the junction, thus fvreinj? Lee to exteud his lines from tho central the Fredericksburg Road in order to secure that amouut of transportation necessary for his anny, and which neither could sufficiently furnish of itself, lu addition to this, it is almost ceriain that^Goraonsvile will fall into Yankee bauds, thus enabling Grant to com plete the Orange and Alexandria Road -io . Culpeper C. H., that lino having heretofore been in our possession r.s far North cf Gor donville as llapidan Station. This accom plished, the Orang?* and Alexandria, for its full extent, and .considerable portions of the, Central and Frcdericksburg Loads, will be in possession of the euemy. lu case, as anticipated here, Lee should further relirquhh ?Jie South Anna ?or the purpose of drawing Grant further on, tho old Valley Rood, leading directly from this city to th? Valley, through Louisa Court IIcufe, Gordonville and Scanardsvillc, will be left to use and cccup.\tion ol" thc enemy's forces. So in neb. then, for Grant's prospects, con sidered so Otc as the temporary acquisition of territory goi-s, and now for a few words on the other side cf the fjne-tbn. To repair ! I and guard thcae roads, keep open such lengthy j j lines of communication, and garrison, such depots as he nitty, establish at. intermediate points on that line, will require such heavy I draughts as cannot but most materially j weaken his swollen legion?.

The fighting tbeu on the North Anna line will not probably exceed heavy skirmishing or partial actions, thc great' shock of armies being reserved for the day when they, will .face each other before Rieb mond, the prize of victory itself. When that shock does come, ! it would appear that tho authorities have but ^little fear of any untoward resufl?'and in ther rout to ensue the largo cavulry force now organizing "will piny a prominent part.

From the Richmond Sentinel of the llOth vic obtain the following : There was a heavy cavalry engagement on Saturday at or near Hawe's Shop, on the raad from Me?hanicsville to IIan?vertown, about seven miles beyond fha former place aad five miles this side of the JattCr. The enemy's cavalry were in^ great strength, nor vere we ourselves deficient 'On both sides tie troops dismounted for thc fight. The enemy'sskirmishers werejswiftly driven in, and by a charge from our line his troops were dislodged lrom the cover under which they sheltered, which was taken possession ol by our men. Three attempts were made by the e:iemy to recover the position. Inst, but every assault was repulsed. -The .fight, which commenced at about nine o'clock, in the morning, had lasted until about hall-past four, ?hen Warren's (Fifth) corps of infan try was seut by Grant to the support of his cavalrymen. Our cavalrymen there upon fell back about a mile, and took position ?n a creep, where they were not followed.' Our retreat wa3 under good cover, and is believed to have been made without loss. The troites on our side were commanded by Gen. Wade Hampton, who put in thc troops 'magnificently. Our soldiers fought with ex emplary coolness and spirit, and must have inflicted very heavy loss on thc enemy. As an illustration of the severity of the combat and the character ol' thd fighting, a soldier who bad tired forty-five cartridges, did . not fire one without seeing hismnn, and taking good ainrat him. The obj^cLof the enemy's cavalry waa prob: ably' to ma-J? the movements*^" GranrV-in fantry behind them ; but the manner in which they were defeated abd driven by our cav alrymen compelled Grant to .'-how his other f?r?.

As a cons?quence, those that can alford th* outlay and time, ?'re departing or making ready for their departures n.orc congenial and healthy localities. The New York .'. World" of a recent dale in speaking of matters in Virginia, ?sys : If Lee succeeds in beating back Grant, or keeping bim at bay, as bc bas done hereto fore, nil thc subsidiary movements become worthless and a waste of valuable military power. Tba dread issue is yet to be-decided; and between (he two great armies. So lar, Lee ha-? kept lija groat antagonist at bay; nnd if he is as successful for the- -next two -.vecks as he has been fur the last twelve day?, i|ii? last cainpaign against Richmond, and thc chief rebel army, will have been a more signal, be cause a larger and more imposing, failure than any that has preceded it. The Frcdericksburg correspondent of the News writes thus : ... When the people of the North bring them selves to believe the palpable Iradi that Gen oral Lee's army is strong in numbers." brave ia ?pirit and iree from anything savoring of demoralization, they will appreciate the mag nitude of the table undertaken by General Grant Before the recent hatti . ", we \vere told that the Confederates were hungry, nak ed and disgusted. They were said to be de salting by the hundred, aud the poor craven hearted ones who came into our lines repre sent the comrades they left behind as com pletely demoralized, tired of rebellion, and quite .'??liing to lay down their anus. We now find by experience that the rebels arc determined to fight it out to the bitter end, that their numbers are almost equal to .out own, that they are neither hungry nor naked, aud that their otgapization and spirit arc as strong to-day a? they were two years ago. It thc matlcr of losses, it is very evident that ours hus been greater than that of the enemy. Troops lighting from behind breast works are not likely to sillier so much as those miking the attack. Lee fought under favor able circumstances in every engagement. At tho Wilderness. his men were concealed in denso woods until thelnonv?nt ol' attack ; and after a charge they immedintely retired u^am to sheller. Ju tbesuceeedii'oing engagements, and particularly at Spottsylvania, they were protected by ri ile-pi ts and breastworks. Our men hat! to charge on these rro?itions,; often being expired to a destructive enfilading fire of grapeshot and canister. In thia way they were mowed down b? thousands. When Barnside attempted tv carry the enemy's t works on Thursday, bis-men were exposed to this most destructive of all fire?, until they reefed, staggered, and fell in heaps. .
