Rsysglr, VA, July 10, 1861 Gen. McWiel-
- victory OF To-Day Is com mate General
tsarnett, on learning OF the engagement, I'm
'.eutly left his entrenched cam6 ut Hutton
pH with the main body OF his armv leaving
ns, IS supposed 10 be but a camp guard
'ha-s He advanced to succor Col Pegram,
and had arrived within three miles of Beverly
shsn he was met by those Of Pegram's flying
ferces who were foremost in the retreat AS
,hev rushed In among t}arRett's troops they
tied such panic among them as TO make
Il necessary Tor him Mt once to decline stand
ing TO give onr pursuing forces battle, and to
ny himself in turn. He decamped according
" III the direction OF St. Georges with all
possible haste and in disorder.
Gen. NcCielan'e puTsu of the main body
oi Fegrams retreatlng force was in the mean
time vigorously pushed, and on coming up
with them, tdisheartened by the in teiligence
bis original purpose OF covering their retreat,
had himself turned and fled with his whole
force of eight thousand men, Pegram
promptly made propositions TO Gen. McClel-
len for the surrender of all that remained Of
his force, admitting that he had q hundred
and fifty killed, and the rest, except those
heofered 10 surrender, scattered in the woods,
Hod knows where.
Gen Mcclellan offered to treat them as
prisoners OF war, but expressly stipulated
that he could give them no guarantee what
ever concerning the disposition the Coy
eminent might eventually make of them for
having taken mp arms against it's authority,
II not being in his power to relieve them Of
their liability 10 the law on that account.
Gen. Pegram accepted those terms, and all
that remained of his command of about 2 1000
to2 SEQ, between 600 and 700 have accordingly
surrendered. With the prisoners Gen. Nc
0leilan made in the previous forty eight
hours, this makes full one thousand prisoners
on his hands-near half of Pegram's COM
mand-a troublesome remembrance truly.
