y severe battle took place yesterday after
noon, about sixteen miles from Richmond, and
one mile to the right of tho Charles City road.
The artillery practice wss very brisk for some
hours, commencing ut Al early hour in the
afternoon. A little before seven o'clock The
Infantry opened in full Vollcy, aad 4 wile-ex-
tended and terrific lire, mingled with the roar
OF artillery, ragged until nino c'oicel. \ very
heavy battle has obviously been fought
About nine O'Clock a largs cont,grsLion lit up
the horizon in tho direction of the battle field.
We regard this as the sign Of victory to our
side, for the enemy hsve invariably destroyed
their stores when compelled to retreat We
understand that Hugsr's division had an iIn>
portsnt position in the fight, though he YVES
supported by many other troops.
The bulk Of McClellan's army is evidently in
tho position indicated by tho battle Of yesterday
afternoon. Weihink, Therefore, there is every
probability OF our capturing q very large por-
ton of it. Tho country ia one Of the worst in
the world for military operations, being almost
all of it in dense wood, and u large part Of it in
swamp. The chief trouble is to lind the
enemy, and the larger part OF several days hiss
been consumed in tho hunt. We must there.
fore be patient. A prisoner taken yesterday
says the soldiers regard themselves "a ''baggod."
Wo think they arc not far from the truth.

Tho Petersburg Express states tiIat infor.
nation was received in that city, from our
pickcts on James River Monday evening At six
o'clock, stating that the Oonfcdsratcs had driven
the remnant OF McC!ellsn's army to the river
Just opposite the Chesterfield shore, and imme-
diaiely above B rmuda Hundreds. Our forces
wore pouriog an iucesssnt fire Of musketry
and cannon into the invaders, and killing them
by hundreds. Tho Federal gunboats went up
and took part in the fight, when the Conlcde"
rate artillery on tho South siGe Of the river,
attached to General Holmes brigade took
position, and gave the g0nHoals pretty SUBJ
stantial evidence that there Wcro blows
to receive az well Isl blowa to give. Our
fire sooI became tno b1t for the gunb9ais
and they dropped down 10 the vicinity of
Turkey Island, where our cannon on this side
followed them. and contin ued the fight at
six o'clock, tho FsIe;als were fleeing down the
north bark Of ,l:e river, but manifested a de-
cided unwill'ngnoss to 60 beyond tho cover Of
their suuboats- They were closely pursued
by our forces.
One steamer passed up the river Monday
from Old Point loaded with troops, and touched
at Carriers Whsrf, but for certain reasons lid
not deem it prudent 10 land. -Four Federal
transports passed down the river Monday ST
ternoon, loaded with portion Of McClellan's
army, but scventy-Ive transports will not oon-
vey them away, unless our brave soldiers have
already killed and captured more than half the
army. 1t is thought that under the cover Of
darkness, many would succeed in making their
escape.
HEAVY FIRING HEARD IN PETERs8uR6.
Tho Express" also states that from IL till
nearly four o'clock Monday, a heavy, rapid
and continuous roar of artillery FEs heard in
that city from a Nor.heSsterly direction. At
times, the reports reached as often as fifty
per minute. a largo number OF persons
repaired to tho hills around the the city TO
catch the music Of the artillery, and hundreds
were grstiied in drinking in those the irst re-
ports oftne kind they had ever lintened to.

BUEGLARY.-A couple of weeks since,
the jewelry store Of G. L. Roberts & Co,
this place, was Lurglariously entered by
some villain, and two silver watches car
ried off. Subsequent to that time Dir.
Roberts departed for the frontier Of the
State, as soldier, leaving the establish
ment locked up. Upon his return, during
the present week, he found that an attempt
had been made to force another entrance
into the store, the window giving unmis-
taxable evidence Of having been tampered
with. Fortunately, however, the strength
of the fastenings was such as to resist all
attempts at entrance, and the burglar had
only his labor for his pains. Our conclu-
sions in the premises are these: First, he
that would steal at all is villain second,
be that would steal, OF attempt to steal,
from man who had nobly responded to
the dictates of duty, is doubly distilled,
despicable villain and, third, that such
an individual, should be hanged by the
eyelashes TO the nearest sign-post, with
ont benefit of Judge, jury or clergy.

sorely the work of tho Democratic party,
which assumed to be the governing class;
and the alternative before the people was
to submit to this prGtension or take the
consequences of civil war. All oppoSi-
ton to the party was, therefore, ut the
peril of hostilities. The elections were
worse than farce the people having
really lost the right of selEgovernment
So we had no right to object, and express
ut the ballot-boX our objections, to the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise. So
it was placing the country in peril of civil
war to refuse to indorsc the Lecompton
swindle. 1t was necessary, in order to
maintain peace, to permit the use of the
General Government in the extension of
slavery, to promote the political ambition
of the managers of the slave interest.
Then we had already virtually lost our
privileges as free citizens of II Republic,
and we are now fighting for our liberties.
1t is not difficult, in the light of the En-
guirer'S paragraph quoted above, to appre
cinte tho meaning of the phrase, The
Union aS it was" 1t means a Union in
which only members of the Democratic
party can safely he permitted to vote.
This is indeed "a fact to remember"
The rebellion would have been indeh-
nitely postponed, if there had been
Democratic triumph in 1860, the Enquirer
says. We suppose it would been postpo-
ned until the Democratic party met with
defeat. Then of course, there would have
been war that is to say, there would have
been rebellion. We are to understand
by the declaration that the Democratic
party only, can govern the country, that
its motto is rule or ruin-that if it can
not succeed at the ballot box, there must
be trial on the battle field.
As the Enquirer secs it, no party can
be national but the Democratic; and as
the South is "unanimous" for rebellion,
the nationality of the party can only be
secured by its Endorsement of the doctrine
ofespousaI ofthe cause of the rebels. There
fore, instead of the will of the majority
hereafter, we are to have the will Of the
minority. If the few become factous and
threaten disorder, the many must submit
for the sake of peace. The Government
must be administered according to the
regulations prescribed by the class that
refuses to be governed under the Constitu-
tion, and the result is deSpotism of des-
pcradoes, and perpetual reign of terror;
and Democracy resolves itself into the
right of the few to govern the many.
