variously estimated at from one 10 four thou
sand men. was at the latter place and attack
ed the enemy while they were crossing The
river. Col. Jackson 10 said to have killed
some forty or fifty of the Federal troops, and
to have taken about seventy prisoners; bu,
being unable to cope with SO large a body
retired back towards Martiasburg, for the
purpose Of forming junction with General
Johnston.
Our iniormants state that when they pass
ed through Winchester. about eleven o'clock
on Thursday night, General Johnston was
then on the way to meet the enemy with his
entire commaad, supposed to consist Of from
IL to $4,000 men. and the prisoners taken
BY Col. Jackson were m0mentarily expected
TO arrive al Winchester. they having been
passed on the way. aud their coming an
nouuced.
Col. Jackson writes. we understand, that
u he had had 5000 more troops he would
have continued to engage the enemy. instead
OF falling back on the main body.
These facts are abundanhy confirmed. and
il is reasonable TO suppose that there was an
engagement yesterday in the neighborhood 81
Mariinsburg.
From indications. the Fourth seems to
have been selected as day for the advance
Of the Federal troops at all points. and we
shall expect TO hear Of numerous engage
ments.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.

Richmond, July l, 1861.
Our city was thrown into state of the
most Joyous excitement this forenoon, by
the arrival Of the fredericksburg train,
bringing several passengers and thirty mine
prisoners of war. These prisoners were
captured by band Of courageous Baltimo-
reans. under circumstances which show what
a few brave, determined men, can do. II
seems that 70 young men, by preconcerted
arrangement. arrived at the wharf Of the
steamer st. Nicholas, in Baltimore, last Sat-
urday. and took passage for Philadelphia.
the destination of the steamer. To avoid
suspicion majority Of the young men were
disguised in female apparel, and were driv-
en- down in carriages. They we're all well
provided with small arms, the amplitudinous
skirts Of the gentlemen enabling them to
conceal as many weapons as they desired.
The whole party was commanded by Capt.
Thomas. son Of ex Governor Thomas, and
the balance made up Of excellent men in all
respects. one Of them being an experienced
pilot.
In due season, the st. Nicholas started
down the Patapsco for Philadelphia. When
clearly beyond the city, at . given signal.
petticoats dropped as il by magic. and Yhaf
had seemed to be very sensitive. delicate
ladies. suddenly appeared as strong ARMED,
stalwart men. heavily armed with pistols
and bowie knives. The Captain and crew
Of the 81. Nicholas we're order to surrender,
which they did. and we're then sent below.
The steamer was now taken charge Of by
her new commander and crew, the Baltimore
pilot put at the wheel. and the mouth Of the
Kappahannock steered for. While en- route
for that point. three vessels we're overhauled
-one a schooner loaded with ice, another a
6ae barque. containing $500 bags Of coffee.
and third schooner laden with anthracite
coal. These were all secured as prizes. and
with their crews taken into the Rappahan-
mock. the feet reaching Fredericksbu safe
ly during Ssndsy night.
The vessels and their cargoes, al this par
ticular juncture. are all very valuable. and
the gallant Boltimoreans who effected the
capture. deserve the thanks Of the entire
Southern confederacy. Many Of the crews
of the respective vessels are negroes, and
a. Butler has stolen several slaves around
Hampton. these negroes will do we'll 10 Gil
their places. The ice and the coffee are al
30 valuable and much needed. Maryland
will yet be right Such people cannot be
conquered.
| understand that The object Of the Balti-
noreans and others who took passage on the
st. Nicholas. was at FIRST. to have reached
some poiut on the Rappahapnock where a
portion Of one Of our regiments is located.
These were to be taken on board and an effort
made to capture the villainous Pawnee. but
meeting with three such inviting prizes, il
was deemed best to secure them, and let the
Pswnee slide for the present.
