Later
At a late hour last night we learned some further particulars of the fight on Monday.
Gen. Early is mortally wounded.
Gen. Anderson, of
North-Carolina, we believe, killed.
Col. Mott, of
Mississippi, killed.
Gen. Raines, slightly wounded.
Capt. Echols, of
Lynchburgh, slightly wounded.
Capt. Irwin, of
Scales's North-Carolina regiment, wounded.
The First Virginia regiment was badly cut up. Out of two hundred men in the fight, some eighty or ninety are reported killed or wounded.
Colonel Kemper's regiment suffered terribly, though we have no account of the extent of the casualties.
We learn that
Gen. Magruder has been for several days quite sick at
Westover, on
James River.
The enemy had not occupied
Jamestown at six o'clock on Tuesday evening, but were in large force at Grove wharf and
King's mill.
They are also understood to be landing forces at
West-Point.
The Virginia (No. 2) was passed on
James River yesterday, and will be at
Richmond to-day.
We have conflicting reports of the fight at
Barhamsville yesterday, and prefer to wait for an official statement before giving publicity to rumors.
