Details of Tuesdays Battle near Will
 Transport.

AAoiAAoRSAI
 Several persons present at the recent en- agreements near Martinsburg concur, sub stantially, in the following accounts:
 On Tuesday last the Yankee forces, numbering near ten thousand, while ap- preaching Martinsburg, were met by Col Jackson's advance, consisting of portion of Col. Harper's regiment from Augusta county, above seven hundred strong, and a squadron of cavalry under Col. Stewart The federal forces, except Sherman's boast ed battery, occupied forest. The confe- derate troops advanced, under the protec- tion of rail fence, to within three hum dred yards of the enemy. Col. Stewart, with Capt. Pattrick's company of cavalry, from Augusta, opened the engagement by capturing the van of the enemy, consist ing of an entire company of Pennsylva- nians;a sharp firing was kept up for an hour and a half between the main bodies, with a loss to the enemy estimated at the minimum of sixty seven killed, eighty five wounded, and fifty-three prisoners; when the firing ceased, and Col. Jackson fell back slowly to a stronger position nearer Martinsburg, with loss on his side of three killed and five wounded.
 Gen. Johnston, being notified, advanced from Winchester with his forces, and re- liable reports received yesterday say, that in conjunction with Col. ,Jackson's force, he three several times repulsed the attacks of Gen. Patterson's entire army of about p, 1000 men, and drove him into Martins burg. Gen. Johnston has since succeeded in throwing his army between Gen. Patter son and the Potomac, thus cutting off re- treat, while endorsements are constantly arriving from Beauregard's camp at Ma nassas in sufficient numbers to assure the complete discontinue, if not capture, of the entire Hessian force, which may God grant" Richmond Dispatch.

 The company was organized early in May, for the purpose of going to Ft. Arbuckle. They met here about the 9th of May and elected officers, and made every preparation to go to the assistance of Gen. Young. In the mean time news was re ceved that Ft. Arbuckle had been eyacuated.- They were greatly disappointed at this news and left in no enEiabe humor for home. short time intery ening, a rumor reached us that our county had been called on by the governor for four com panies. On the faith of this report they again ap pointed day for rcndezvousing, and was just on the eve uf starting, when the Hon. J. s. Doarhide arrived from Little Rock with instructions from the Military Board for them to remain at home.
 Having been twice disappointed, and having in- cured considerable expense each time, the com pany requested their Captain, John G. Mckean, Dr. Lowry and Dr. Norwood, to go to Fort Smith and see Gen. Pierce, and to know for certan if he would receive them. The General accepted their services, and ordered them to return home and to march as soon as circumstances would permit, and to report themselves for duty at as early period possible.
 The company will number one hundred by the time it reaches Fort Smith. They are armed with the Minnie Muskets that were sent to this county in accordance with an act of the last legislature they are most excellent weapon, and are in the hands of good and true men; and should an oppOr- tunity present itself, you will hear good report from these boys
 l went with the company as far as Camp No. l, and remained with them all night; they were cheer fu and in fine spirits and anxious to meet the Dutch of St. Louis.
 The company is uniformed with light blue suit, and when on parade or the battle field will compare favorabty with any in the State.
