Over one hundred of the enemy kilted, and a large number of prisoners taken.- Our JJOSS two killed and eight or b:n wounded. On Monday last tho Federal forces under .tho command- of Goncral Calwallftdcr, num .boring 15,000, crossed tho P?tenme rh cr nt Williamsport ford, and advanced in tho di ycotion of Mnrtinsburg. On Tuesday morn ing about 10 o'clock, thc 5th Virginia Regi ment, under command of Col. Harper, which had been sent out by Col. Jackson, ns a scout ing party, suddenly and unexpectedly carno into collision with a large force of the enemy, estimated to bc nt least 5,000 strong. A sharp con'liet at onej ensued. Our forces had but ono piece of artillery, which became use less after two or three rounds had been fired. Although the strength of tho cnomy was greatly superior to ours in numbers, our men fought with great coolness and bravery. Tho oncmy being well provided with artillery, threw shell among our forces, which compell ed thom to retire, whick they did in perfect order. From persons who were engaged in thc fight, wc learn that not more than 4 or 500 of Col. Harper's regiment were in the action Thc Continental Morgan Guards of our town, commanded by Capt. Avis, and the West Augusta Guards of. Staunton, were in the thickest of tho battle from thc first to thc .last, and it was only iu these companies that any causalit?s were sustained. As well as we ?can learn there were but two of our men killed; their names we learn aro Parrish and Snnpp, ?Of Capt. Avis' company; whilst there were .eight or ten wounded, but none of them se riously so. Fi ve or six of thc wounded hnvo been brought to town, and arc receiving every necessary attention. Tho loss of tho enemy in kilted alone bas been estimated by those who wore in thofieid after thc fight, nt from 100 to 160. A company which had been detach ed from thc main body, were captured by Copts. Patrick and Hardest)' Companies of Cavalry. Forty-thrco of tho prisoners were brought to town Wednesday morning and lodged in jail. They state that when they volunteered it was for only three months and under thc conditions that they were not to cross thc Potomac. They say that their term of sorvico would hove expired on tho 6th inst., ?ind that they were forced to cross into Vir gina. They speak in grateful terms of their treatment since their capture. Tho officers of this company havo not yet arrived, but arc 'hourly expected. After thc engagement, Col. Jackson, with his brigado, retired two miles south of Mnr tinsburg. T?Osday evening, Geu. Johnston, with all tho forces stationed in and around Winchester, inarched to his aid. And wc may expect to hear ?f a battle nt any hour. Too much praise oannot be bestowed upon our forces engaged. Although largoly out numbered, they stood their ground manfully until thoy woro commanded to retreat, With such material to fight our battles victory must porch upon our banner.

Marching from th?? prnoo with my ltcgimcnt, (about 57? strong, nf^or leav ing a largo comp guard)) and Captain, Hall's troop of horse, nuniboting about 70, (includ ing a detachment from Captain Wiolthtim's troop,) mot, nt tho Frying l'an Churdy Cap- j tain Torry's hoop of horso, about 70 strong, I (inoludiug a dotnehmont. of ?>pt.

With this force 1 wont on to Drninsvillo, learning on tho way thut sumo four hundred of the enemy came up tho ? Alexandria and Lcesburg Railroad tho samo : day about one o'oloek, P. M., to within a [ mile or two of Hunter's Mills, and then re turned. Early on tho morning of tho 17th, II rode, with a troop of horse, to thc heights on this sido of tho Potomac, opposite to So ? ncca Creek, and went in person to the bank j of tho river to reconnoitre. T could seo but I fow troops of thc enemy and no boats prepared i for crossing thc river. Wo marched down afterwords under tho I guidance of Capt. John Powell, a high spir , ited and highly intelligent and most zealous ; friend of our cause, to Hunter's Mill, where, j if thc enemy had been engaged in repairing j thc railroad bridge, a plan of attack, devised by Capt. Powell, would have offered thc best j chance of success. We found, however, no 1 sign of thc enemy, and only some railroad j cars still smoking, which had been destroyed ! by our friends in thc neighborhood j Wc then marched to Vienna, nod drew up j our foreo in readiness to receive tho enemy, ' if they should repet thc visits mado for the last two days. Mottling being seen of them, j however, and thc water tank having been de ! molishcd, (to increase tho obstacles already ? caused by thc removal of the lead pipe for ! conveying water,) I put thc command to I mareil for Fairfax Court House towards six . o'clock, P. M. Just as wc wcro moving off, a diMant rail I road whistle was heard?\ 1 inarched tho troops I back, placing tho two O-poundcr guns on thc I hill commanding tho course of thc road, ill? j mediately supported by (Joinpa ny H, 1st 8. ? C. Volunteers, Lieut. McIntosh. The rest of thc regiment, under Lieut. Col. Hamilton, ; was formed on thc crest of thc hill, to tho i right of thc guns. Thc Cavalry were drawn j up still further to thc right. Thc train of cars came round thc curve of ' thc railroad into sigtit at the distance of per haps four hundred yards. Capt. K oin per and Lieut. Stuart opened a rapid' and well aimed fire with tho two guns, which would have been very destructive if thc troops had not made a most rapid movement from the cars into thc woods. Supposing that they might form and advance, 1 sent Companies j A, Capt. Miller, and K, Capt. (?adbcrry, to deploy as skirmishers against them. After wards, finding that they were flving, I seul Capt. Terry with ld<3 troops, guided by Mr. Ceo. M. Hunter, n zealous friend of tho cause, j in pursuit. From Hie lateness of tho hour, I however, tho nature of the ground, and the j start which the enemy had, they could not bc J overtaken. Six of the enemy were found ? dead and one desperately wounded. Blood I was also found on tho bushes through which j thoy had lied, but the darkness prevented a serious search. Ono passenger cir and five platform cars were taken and burnt. It scorns/ from thc information we gather, that five or six more ears belonging to thc same train, and, perhaps, a number of ears in a secoud train escaped by a precipitate re treat. The wounded prisoner represented the enemy's force as eight hundred and lift)' men, and said it was the Fifth Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, commanded by Col. McCook. Various ..rms, accoutrements and tools were taken, and one ofiiecr's DWOl'd without a scabbard. My orders requiring mc to avoid any un necessary engagement, and not to remain ab sent from my camp more than one night, 1 marched back to the place, where I arrived about one o'clock this morning. 1 have every reason lo be satisfied with the conduct of all our troops. Captain Kempcr's command showed great ardor, combined with disciplino. Captain Kemper and Lieutenant Stuai t's skill in the management of thc nuns left noting to desire. Lieut. Col. Hamilton lcd thc first regiment with his usual gallantry of bearing, duly seconded by Major Smith, Lieutenant Bendy, Acting Adjutant, and Captain Mcdowell, Regimental Quart? minster. Dr. Powell, Surgeon, and Dr. Bull, Assistant Surgeon, has little to ?lo, ns the lire of mus ketry, with which t'ne onomy in scrambling out of the cars replied to our cannonade, was straggling and ineffective. Major Kcnne?ly, Commissary, and Captain Tyler, volunteer in my staff, were prompt to carry orders and to give valuable counsel. The companies of Captains Miller and Cad berry, though greatly fatigued with two days' rough march in thc hot sun and dust, ap peared revived at once when thrown forward as skirmishers ngainst the enemy.

A correspondent from Pensacola, unde dat' of Juno 20, says: t u It is reported at tho navy-yard (so I nu informed by one of om' men who has just rc turned to camp) that Brown, commander o Fort Bickens, lins sent a message to Genera , Bragg, to the effect that he (Brown) wouh givo liim (Brags) ten days to consider th ', ovacuntion of McRca, Barancas and tho navy yard. Whether General Bragg replied to i or not bo did not nseortoin. My impressioi is, that your next accounts from boro wil give tho result of one of tito greatest battle , that was over fought on tho American conti , neut. ?Should tho next ten days termin?t i our oxistcnoo boro, WQ can never die in a bel ter or nobler causo." A lt KW.Y TO CASSIUS.-Tho ridiculous lot tor of Cassius Clav, to tho London Times, it will bo roeollootod, was very effectually an s,torod by tho Times itsolf. Wo find, how; evor, that Mr. Edwin Do Leon, former Con sul Oolrui tjjj, Egypt, tdsp comes, back ut Cassius in a letter to tho Times, wherein ho pools off what little pf Clay's hide the Thun derer had left. Wo hnvo room Ouly for tho following extract : Tho bloody battle Holds of Mexico, whero tho South furnished about 45,000 and tho North 20,000 mon, can attest to Southern valor and disciplino ; and tho veterans of tho orniv and navy, who hnvo lof? ?he Federal to | join tho Confederate service, aro well capable of commanding troops who hnvo never behoved I that "'force was necessary" to cement fraturni ty volunteering ns they havo done solely for defence, not for aggression. Tho old watch word of thc daoobius in Franco's darkest day of blood and tears, "Fraternit?, on la mort ' ("Ho my brother or l will kill you !") is now thc rallying cry of thc "freo North"-not of tho South, who stands with drawn sword be side ber own altars, ls that a watch word to enlist her sympathies or stir tho jmi/.er of n free-born Englishmen when a now reign of terror is sought to bc inaugurated onco moro under tho desecrated nnmo of liberty, over thc smiling lields and happy homes,of thc sunny South'f Wc cannot and wo will not, belicvo it. England bas ever boen a gene rous foo j she will.not provo a faithless friend. Thc statement that "the population of tho ?lavo states is divided perhaps equally for and against tho Union," is kV i thou t n shadow of foundation. Tho secession of tho South now forms a part of history, nnd never in tho an nals of mankind has such entire ummmity of sentiment and of action been manifested by any people as thc formation, deliberations and action of the cotton States. Since the dos? potic coupjl'etat attempted by thc Northern President, thc same spirit hassprend like tho lire on a prairie over the border States, as wit neys thc instantaneous action of Virginia North Carolina and Tennessee, with Missouri and Kentucky moving in tho same direction ; or more striking still, the recept ion of the North ern volunteers in thc city of Halt i more, onco regarded the most loyal to tho Union, but mourning like Venice under a foricgu yoke nnd powerless for thc moment to avenge tho blood of her children slain in resisting thc profanation of their soil. NottTjtERN WAU MKASUKKS.-Thc follow ing is said to bo tito substance pf the war bills of Wilson, of Mass., in thc Federal Senate : The National (inard-Thc bill for the or ganization of a Notional Guard provides for tho enrollment of 240,000 men, between 21 and thirty-five years of age, to bo divided into two hundred regimcutts, of twelve companies euch, apportioned among the States pro rata, according to their representation in Congress. After six years' service, those who enlist arc entitled to an honorable discharge, and to ex emption from service on the jury. Eighty thousand are to be enrolled thc first year, and tito same number thc second and third, so that a third may go.out ol service ata time.
