the enemy's column remained at Bottom's Bridge yesterday, and that there was occasional skirmishing during the day with no important result. The Fredericksburg Railroad. The report of the burning of the railroad bridge over the South Anna is confirmed. This act is not believed to have been performed by the party that visited Ashland, but by a separate detachment. What he came of the raiders is not known. A dispatch from Gen. Lee fully confirms the account we gave yesterday of Rosser's repulse of the enemy at Ashland. From the Southside. We have some additional particulars of the affair in Chesterfield county on Thursday, announced in the official dispatch of Gen. Beauregard, published yesterday. Our line of skirmisher advanced about 7 o'clock to feel the enemy and ascertain his force; and moving forward with great spirit and impetuosity, soon captured the enemy's rifle pits, from which the Yankees fled in confusion. Over a hundred prisoners, representin

ibly small. Anderson's loss, including Hoke's, will not reach 500. The enemy assaulted Early also, but only once, and was repulsed with great loss. The enemy gained a salient in Breckinridge's front, and held it for a few minutes, but Finnegan's Floridians swept them back like a whirlwind. Our troops generally never fought better. The enemy was repulsed at all points by 10 o'clock, since which time there has been heavy skirmishing only. We had the ground on the enemy, to sulock, when it ceased, except heavy skirmishing and cannonading, which were kept up incessantly all day. At one time during the morning Echols's brigade, of Breckinridge's division, gave way, but Gen. B. soon rallied his men, and at the same time Finnegan's gallant Floridians bounding forward with a yell, drove the enemy back, recapturing three pieces of artillery of Reld's battalion, which for the moment had been taken from us, and capturing, it is reported, one gun. In this affair Breckinridge

The black scoundrels in the service of the United States continue their work of vandalism in Prince George county, on the south side of the Appomattox. On Wednesday night and Thursday morning they burnt the dwellings of Marinas Gilliam, Dr. Theo. Gilliam, and Frank Green. Surely, a day of retribution is in store for these wretches, whose sole object seems to be to plunder and destroy the property of unoffending citizens. A dispatch from Gen. Beauregard states that matters remained quiet on the Southside yesterday. From the Blackwater Region. The Yankees, under Major Gates, made a raid into Nansemond county last week and arrested Col John R Copeland, Dr Philip Corbin, Richard Knight, and Robert E Riddick. The last-named was a member of the 3d Virginia regiment, at home on furlough.

ut little of his artillery to play. Our loss it, prisoners very slight, and we took but few. I regret that my engagements are such that it will be impossible for me to continue my correspondence. This will be but little loss to you, however, as you already have a very faithful correspondent in the field. Besides, I hope the campaign of 1864, and the war itself, is fact drawing to a close. Sallust. [from our own correspondent.] Army of Northern Virginia,Near Gaines's Mill, June 3, 1864. The immortal Second Corps of this army yesterday achieved a success which is second to none that has crowned the Confederate arms during this campaign. By a preconcerted arrangement a flank movement was undertaken yesterday evening upon the enemy's right wing, and most successfully executed. About three o'clock our troops moved forward, Gordon having the lead. Gen. G., by actual experiment, ascertained that a swamp was passable for his troops, and on it he moved and by it passed

eported, one gun. In this affair Breckinridge is said to have lost two hundred of his men as prisoners, and the enemy took about thirty cannoneers with the guns which they temporarily captured. It is also said that the enemy were most handsomely repulsed during the day in front of Rodes and Heth on our extreme right. The slaughter of the enemy has been quite heavy, some put it as high as ten thousand. Three our four hundred will cover our list of casualties. Among the wounded is Brig. Gen. Law, of Ga., slightly in eye. The enemy did not fight to-day with the vim that they displayed on the 12th of May at Spotsylvania C. H.; and whilst a Colonel was taken prisoner on our works, and his color-bearer shot dead in planting them upon our works, the men themselves never got so near. The situation at the close of the day was this: Grant had made violent efforts to turn and break our right, but had been most successfully repulsed and the Yankee army heavily punished; our men

General Early, commanding Ewell's carps, attacked thght, driving them at all points, and capturing over 700 prisoners, including commissioned officers. An official from General Lee, received late the says we drone the enemy from Turkey Hill, thereby gaining an important position. As night closed et during the day. It is reported that we took 800 prisoners. A officer, who left the front at one o'clock, says that General Lee's staff estimated the enemy's loss as great as that in the battle of the Wilderness, if not greater, while ours was miarty that visited Ashland, but by a separate detachment.

, announced in the official dispatch of Gen. Beauregard, published yesterday. Our line of skirmisher advanced about 7 o'clock to feel the enemy and ascertain his force; and moving forward with great spirit and impetuosity, soon captured the enemy's rifle pits, from which the Yankees fled in confusion. Over a hundred prisoners, representing commands from Connecticut, Maine and Illinois, were captured, and quite a number killed. Among the prisoners are Major Oliver S. Sandford, Capt. John B. Dennis and Lieut. Henry S. Pierce, 7th Connecticut regiment, and Capt. Albert G. Mudgins, 11th Maine. Our loss was comparatively slight in killed, wounded and prisoners; though we regret to hear that Col. Oliver M. Danizler, of the 22d South Carolina regiment, was mortally wounded and left in the hands of the enemy. It is stated that he allowed his patriotic zeal to get the better of his discretion, and thus advanced too far with his command. The position having been gained, was subsequen
