Nine more prisoners* who hare been brought to this place, report that McClellan is in a strong position at Berk ly; that he has been reinforced by Shielea' divison, and now has from 80,000 to 100,000 men, with which he intends to give battle. Balloons went dp yesterday from his camps and to-day his wagon train were still visible. The tents of the enemy dot the country for miles. Prisoners, who belonged to Sickles* "Excelsior" Brigade say that out of 5,000 met who composed the Brigade before opening the battle, not 500 are left. Richmond, July 7.?Nothing of interest has transpired here to-day. It is reported that there was fighting this morning betwoen our forces and the retreating Yankees in Charles City County, but nothing is known of the engagement (if any really took place) at the War Office. The Weather is extremely hot. Capture of a Yankee Gunboat.?Information having been received of the passage of several Yankee gunboats up the Santeo River, two companies of sbarp-shootors were placed <IH omknek An via kmnlro fA ? ?u cwsajtsisoaj vru viiv upiino VV iiuvi IIIC iiid" rauders. Upon their near approach, our men fired upon them, and, in attempting to turn and retreat, one of the boats got nground and was captured, some 75 or 100 met) on board beiug killed. A few jumped overboard> and were either shot or drowned. The other boats escaped. We hope soon to give more exact details of tho gallant exploit, which has probably saved tho North-Eastern Railroad Bridge, and given the base Yankees merited punishment for their villainous raid. Our people are alive to their presence within our waters, and will greet them warmly wherever they attempt to advance.?Carolinian of Wednesday. VIia eamn Un#lln A friend has placed in our hands a copy of a little sheet -with the above title, published at Beaufort, S. C. It was taken from the dead body of a Yankee, who was killed in the fight at Secession ville. The following is the announcement on the first page: "The Camp Kettle is published every opportunity b}T the One Hundredth Pensylvania (Roundhead) Regiment, Col. Leasure commanding. We find on the first page an account of the battle on Wilmington Island, between the Thirteenth Georgia and Eighth Michigan, in which the latter gives a loss of twelve killed and thirty wounded. At present we have only spaco for stna nr twn A*tr?A.tA* C!s>uri*>r Then, and Now.?'On the 7th of December Gen. Stevens occupied Beaufort with his brigade. Then it was a deserted, sacked city, in the possession of the ex-slaves in the first hour of their freedom, and desertion, ruin and pillage had suddenly come down upon it like night? Now it is once more, aye, and more than ever a mart of busy men. Its wharves are rebuilt and groin with grain and merchandize, while a huge condenser at one side, turns salt water into fresh, to store ships with water for long voyages, and the busy plane and ringing anvil announce the coming of a new era for the ancient town. The old 6tore rooms have new firms in them, and Beaufort is fast becoming a Northern town of thrift and trade. Yankee Missionaries are here to teach the quondam slaves the literaturo of thei^ late masters, and plant the Cotton and the corn, the sweet potato and the yam, and turn the the slipshod "shiftlessnesa" of "Dixie" into the thriftness of Nutmegdom. Much of this change owes itself to the organizing mind of Gen. Stevens. Concert.?On last Friday night the "beauty and chivalry" of the ancient citv of Beaufort assembled in the Episcopal church on the occasion of a grand concert, given by the Regi" mental Band of the Seventy-ninth New York Volunteers (Highlanders.) The spacious building was crowded to its utmost capacity, by a most appreciative and intelligent audience, and the performance was one well worthy of this, the first occasion of a "Union Concert" in this deserted nest of rebellion. About thirty ladies were present* and we peed hardly say they, were well cheered by the "s6ger ladies." Gen. Stevens and staff and all the officers of the brigade honored the occasion with ihdir' presence and all seemed delighted with the amusements of the evening.
