which she suffered the fracture of one of her. The ladies, ever foremost in every benevolent work, have contributed large quantities of bandages and lint for the use of our troops.--They have also formed themselves into a sewing society, and numbers of them have been actually at work to-day, to assist in whatever preparation is needed to thoroughly and immediately equip the new companies that have been formed within the two past days.

Col. Robert E. Lee, said by General Scott to be the best engineer officer in the United States Army, and to whom is due the brilliant result of the operations conducted by the American Army in the Valley of Mexico, during the war with that country, having resigned his office in the late United States Army, has returned to the bosom of his native State to offer to her, in this, her time of need, the homage of his unquestioned talent and genius. He arrived yesterday evening via the Central road from Gordonsville, and all along the route was cheered on his return. At the cars in this city his greeting was warm and enthusiastic. He was met by Judge John Robertson, Adjutant General Richardson, and other friends, and escorted to the Spotswood Hotel.

Defence of James River. --Two military companies of Petersburg left that place Monday evening, bound for the east, departing in the early City Point train. The detachment consisted of the "Archer Volunteer," F. H. Archer commanding, J. Richard Lewellen, 1st Lieut., and the "Cockade Rifles," Capt. Jos. V. Scott. Both companies had full ranks, numbering one hundred men each, were plainly but substantially uniformed, and, better than all, they went in the right humor, and with the strong determination to do their duty, whatever it might be, and do it well. They are able-bodied men, with willing hands and brave hearts. Who shall doubt, therefore, the honorable discharge of their military duties? We bid them a God speed in their noble work, a successful determination of the defence in which they engage, and a safe return to the bosoms of their families.

," and two inches higher than the flood of 1814. One span of Chatham bridge gave way, about 10 o'clock, owing to the heavy body of driftwood against the pier which supported it; but as nearly every stick of timber was saved, the bridge can be speedily repaired, and our communication with Stafford reopened. Indeed, persons crossed after the span gave way, as it only sunk, still retaining its connection with either side. The water rose within three feet of the flooring of the bridge. Mr. Scott's loss will not be over $150 or $200. All the flouring mills had their lower stories submerged. Mr. T. F. Knox had a part of 400 barrels of flour under water, but as it had not been inspected, it is hoped and believed that his loss will be small, though necessitating its re-packing. Some ship stuff on the lower floor will, however, be almost a total loss. The mills on the Falmouth side, and the corn mill of Mr. Marye, on this side, having been inundated, will be subjected to a
