THE FIGHTING on SATURDAY.

We referred yesterday TO q correspondent o
the Philadelphia Press, locating himself ,olh
Stonenan's Light Brigade," and to bis state
ment OF advantages obtained on Saturday BY
our centre and left before Richmond, as being
in our opinion, not reliable. This same CORES
pondent, who sings himself Novice after
getting down to Fortress Monroe, writes there
on Monday another letter t, the PHILADELPHIA
Press, describing victory on Saturday by our
right ,oing. But 1t is evident, from the particu.
lars given, that the occurrences referred to took
place on Friday. In this letter of Monday, "No
vice says nothing about victories won on Satur.
day by the centre and left. The letter is copied
by the Star and other papers of last evening, bu,
IS really entitled to no attention. The writer
maniiestly saw no battles anywhere, on any day,
and has got bis head confused by the multitudi-
nous and conflicting accounts of others.
A correspondent Of the New York Post,
writing from West Point on Saturday, says:
There has been. much fighting to day
"'oHy o.! he lJt, but we are cut off from direct
communication with headquariers''
This means only that the writer had reports
oi hghung.
This same writer speaks Of destruction OF
property at the White House, but says that
nothing was destroyed except what II was
cheaper TO burn than to bring away.
The special correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Fortress Monroe, June 80,
says:
"Of what took place on Saturday, we have
absolutely not a ,oord."

Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.
fortress MONROE, June 3d. have arrived
here safely, in company with Gen. Stoneman
and staff, and Gen Casey and staff, who aie
here, 1t Is said, under special orders.
You have, no doubt, been apprised Of the
great confusion existing here, and naturally
attendant upon the crowding of vessels into
the harbor from White House Point
Four trains Of cars, loaded with forage, were
ordered to Dispatch, on Saturday, but meeting
the enemy's picKets on tho road, the trains were
backed down near the White House, the cars
were burned, and the four locomotives were
blown up. This was great loss, but 1t was
enhanced by the destruction of stores, &C., at
the White House everything there being in
flames. Elegant ambulances and loaded bag
gage wagons were rolled down 10 the river
bank, and, there being no time 10 burn them,
they were cast into the river.
l embarked with many others on board of
the John Brooks, but owing to the fact that our
VI ssel was too large to move down the river In
safety at night, we dropped anchor In sight Of
White House Point. The houses burned on all
night, and the scene presented was one of the
grandest ever bcheld. The rebels were not
In sight on Sunday morning, when wo moved
down the river.
A single sutler, in the vicinity of White
House, had property to the amount of $40, 900
destroyed on Saturday.
