tight in that vicinity the day previous :
SHARP FIGIir AT PORT WALTHALL JlSC
TION. *
A sharp fight occurred at Port Walt
hall Junction, yesterday afternoon, commencing
at 5 and concluding at 0 o'clock,
which resulted in a decided repube of the
enemy. Port Walthall Junction is on
the railroad, five miles from Petersburg,
and two from Swift Creek bridge. At
5 o'clock, two brigades of the enemy,
which moved out from bermuda Hundreds,
some time duriner Thursday
ami were slowly and cautiously advauc
iug during tbe day yesterday, attempted
to cross the field of Mrs. llowlett's farm,
.
immediately at the Junction, but were
met with a deadly fire from six hundred ^
of the 21st and 25lli South Carolina Vol- ^
Unteers, commanded by* Col. Graham.? ^
Three times the enemy etsajjsd to reach .j
the railroad, coming with a yell, but our
men nnawed by such iniwic, ?nd nnin- ^
timidated by such apparent ferocity, met
tbem with a steady fire, causing them to
recoil and stagger, from the bloody re ?
ception. They finally retreated in some
confusion and retired about a mile and a
half distant, in the direction of Fort Wal
hall landing, 'fhe disparity of numbers st
was too great for us to pursile, but a gen b
tleman present informs us, that he never h
witnessed more gallant conduct on the L
[>art of any troops than was displayed by j ti
,he intrepid South Carolinians.
Tito enemy bad artillery, but u*?d it at
villi poor efl'ect. Our eaaualtie* were 26 ?i
?two killed anJ twenty tbree wounded, d
rVe had no artillery. 'P
The object of the enemy in tliia move th

yesterday. They lost heavily yesterday,
but carried oft' their killed and wounded.
IltCl'l* IS ? OF THK KNEMY ON THK BLACK*
WAtKR.
A body of Yankee cavalry, under the
command of the notorious Col. Speare,
attempted to cross the Black water ri er
yesterday, at Black water bridge, near
Ivor. *
They were handsomely repulsed by a
portion of Gen. Clinginari's brave North
Carolina troops, and retired out of sigbl.
Our scouts from that aection, jeport
this body of cavaliy as being quite formidable
in numbers?some estimating it as
high.as 3,000. At last accounts tiny
were heading around towards the source
of the Blackwater'in Prince George, ard
may endeavor to effect a junction with
the enemy now at Citv Point. We fear
that the Sussex and Prince George people
will suffer'greatly from the depreda
lions of these vandals.'

corps, which have consolidated into three
corps, and placed under the command of
Rurnside, ll'.ok-'r and Meade?in Rum
