The damage is incalculable. Mills Brifc-

ledge that has not been injured. The Dam
Of the l.ynchburg Mills was taken Off and
the large wheels very much injured-The
two Bridges below tie Mil were entirely
swept o!f-As also the Bridge across Fishino

reason, frequently, to regret the want OF those

most celebrated battles OF the former war OF

ceeticd 4O00 electives since it crossed the Nj

and commanded by generals having little or
no experience in war, has defeated, in two
actions, British army, always superior in
numbers, and commanded by veteran officers
-occasioned them an immense loss in killed,
wounded, prisoners, and artillery, taken, as
well as the capture of Maj. Gen. R1ALL and

consequence of which il has been attempted
to darScn the lustre OF this splendid victory,
this rctrcS2de movement was obviously oCca-
stoned BY the failure of cooperation on the
part OF orr squadron under Com. CHGUNcEY.
10 what causes this failure IS to be attributed,

deciding. We would also intreat the public
to suspend its Judgment on subject which Sc
nearly concerns tie honor ot gallant Officer,
