Recent advices from the vicinity of the
late sanguinary conflicts in Virginia with
! the enemy, report affairs in that locality
as comparatively quiet. The news from
| that quarter to-day, has been, considering
| the intense excitement and hustle pre7a-
lent, decidedly meagre. RumOrs and sto-
ries Of the most extravagant nature have
been circulated throughout the city. A
great majority of these have been found to
/ be entirely unreliable.

day evening report that the command of
Gen. Banks which had been rumorsd cut
of, arrived at that point about ) clock

An over abundance of nurses and ply
sicians have rendered their services, and it
is assuredly true that brave men who have
fallen in defence of the National honor
viii not want for sympathy and kind at
lention in their suffering. The different
relief associations, both male and female,
which have been organized, many of them
lately, are assiduous in their endeavors
to alleviate the suffering condition of our
wounded.
There can be very little doubt of the
correctness of this report, as our informant
states that he witnessed the arrival of this
command 1t is further stated that d
march of 81 miles was accomplished by
them on that day, in order to reach that
position. The condition Of the wounded,
who are conveyed with all possible promp-
titude to thesvarious departments provid,
ed for their reception, is favOTablr.

large number of stragglers were yester
day picked up by the enemy's cavalry.
