RICHMOND, Va, Jul

RICHMOND, Va, July 4.
Winchester correspondent of the Rich
mond EIQnainer, under date of July I'd, says
Last night large body of the enemy crossed
the Potomac, some above and some below
Williamsport, marching six miles east of
Martinsburg. Col. Jackson advanced to meet
them. The vanguard of the enemy consisted
OF company of IS men, distributed Is in
front, 80 distant 200 yards, and 40 at a dis
lance of quarter mile. The first Is were
surrounded without a contest. The next 80
fired a few shots before they were surround
ed. The 40 retreated, regaining four who
had been taken prisoners Seventeen men
were killed and nineteen wounded.
Meantime the main body of the enemy
came up and battle ensued, which lasted
an hour and half. The enemy retreated
and Col. Jackson retired near Martinsburg
The loss of the Confederates was eight killed
and eleven wounded. The loss of the enemy
was seventy killed, ninety wounded and fifty
taken prisoners.
RICHMOND. VA, July 6.-Passengers from
Winchester to-day deny the report brought
by ex-Gov. Lowe, of Maryland, and other in
telllgent passengers, about battle between
johnson and Patterson's forces, near Martins
burg, on Thursday last.
Passengers to-day agree that Gen. Patter-
son was at Martinsburg, and Gen. johnson
six miles off.
Senator Mason, who left Gen. Johnson's
camp on Friday afternoon at O'Clock, says
there has been no fighting in that vicinity
snceiCol. Jackson's engagement on MONDAY
or Tuesday last
Passengers who reached here late last night
report that skirmish took place at Newport
News on Thursday night last between $50
Louisianians, under Lieut.. Col. DreuX and a
regiment of New York Zouaves.
The LouiSianians were out on a scouting
expedition, when they encountered the enc
my, and brisk fire was opened and kept up
on both sides for some time.
Three of the Confederates were killed,
among them Lieut.. Col. Dreux. The number
of the enemy killed and wounded is not yet
known.
Passengers also report heavy firing in the
neighborhood of Newport News yesterday
morning.
The Petersburg Express of this morning
reports the killing of Col. DeRussey, but as
Col. ID. left Richmond for Yorktown on
Thursday morning, it is evidently mistake,
and refers to Lieut.. Col. Dreux, the name of
the officer killed.
lsECoND DIsPATCH.l
July 6, P. M.-Passengers just arrived con-
firm the killing of Lieut.. Col. Dreux at New
port News on Thursday last.
Private Morgan Kennady, of New Orleans,
was killed in the same skirmish.

Activity at the Troy Arsenal.

The Troy correspondent of the n. Y. Herald
says: Never since the Mexican war has there
been such an extraordinary activity displayed
at the United States Arsenal in West Troy as
at the present moment. A few days ago des-
patches were received ordering Lieut.. g. T.
Balch to forthwith repair to Fort Pickens and
report himself at that post for active duty. In
accordance with orders, he Immediately left
his post here, and is now en- route for his place
of destination. He is an accomplished and en-
ergetic officer, and ranks as one of the first
Heutenants in the service.
Maj. Mordecai, who has command Of the ar
sensl, is Nirginian, and is now absent in his
native State. The command, therefore, de-
wolves now on Lieut. Strong, who is the oldest
oflcer now at this post. Lieut.. Porter is the
only other commissioned officer now here. De-
spatches have been received every day, and
are constantly being received, for the prepara-
tion and shipment Of all kinds of munitions of
war.
The works are kept going night and day, no
intermisSion of any kind is permitted, and the
SABBATH day even is entirely disregarded.
succeeded IN visiting the works last night,
about midnight, and found every department
In full operation. Large numbers of men were
engaged, with lanterns hanging from the CELL
Ing, In filling up six, twelve and twenty four
pound cartridges, which, as soon as filed, were
transferred to other parties, where they wero
=
found large number of men engaged in
charging bembshells with powder, others en-
gagged In hlling shells with bullets and running
them full of melted rosin; the latter was taken
when filled to another room, and there, with
machinery, hole about three-quarters of an
inch IN diameter was drilled into the bullets
and rosin; when they were taken to another
room and charged with powder. A very in
genious fuse completes the death dealing pro-
Jectile; 1T is made of lead of size just to fill
the aperture in the shells, and is registered
into seconds, so that the exact time that will
elapse before explosion, after leaving the gun,
can be established. Taken altogether, this
shot is most ugly looking customer. I saw,
also, largo quantities of canister and grape,
ride and musket balls, and all other knewn
implements of war being prepared for ship
ment. L visited the grounds again this morn
ing, and the energy and activity so apparent
last night were more evident to-day. TIVE
hundred thousand rounds of ball cartridges
were being placed on board a barge lying near;
numbers of teams were busy drawing to the
boat cannon balls, canister and grape shot,
grenades, bullets and rife balls, cartridges,
guns and gun carriages, mortars and, in fact,
every article used in war.
