From gentleman who left the army at ten
o'clock Tuesday forenoon, we have information
of Gen. Johnston's position at that time His
vanguard was only one mile this side of New
Kent Court House. Gen. McClellan's advanced
forces were at the court house, but the impress
sion seemed to prevail that he was retiring.
New Kent Court House is twenty-eight miles
from Richmond, and were Mcclellan defeated
at that point, the greater portion of his forces
would be compelled to retreat in the direction
of Yorktown, before reaching which, they
would be captured or cut to pieces. 1t was
thought not improbable that Gen. Johnston
would tender the young Napoleon battle, and
we think it more probable that this is about
the most favorable opportunity the Confeder-
ates will ever have to engage him. The loss
of three thousand as (admitted by his Surgeon
General) at Williamsburg, has doubtless given
him a very fair foretaste of what he is to ex-
pect when the great struggle shall take place
This great struggle will not take place near
New Kent Court House if Mcclellan can help
it.-Petersburg Erpress.
FRoM PENsAcoLA.-By private letter from
Pensacola we learn that on the night of the
29th inst, detachment was sent over to Santa
Rosa Island, from the Confederate camps, to
bring off three negros and white man, who
were seen to land there late in the evening"
The troops crossed in a small boat, landed, and
took the runaways by surprise, and captured
the entire party. On returning the pilot lost
his way, and the boat drifted down the stream.
very near to where the Lincoln guards were
marching up and down the beach. Luckily,
however, they were not discovered, and putting
across the bay, reached their own camps IN
safety, bringing with them the "contrabsnds''
and their Yankee friend.-Atlomta Comnson-
aoealth.
FRoM JAcKsoN's CoMMAND.-The Lynch
burg N;ry;n;an, of Monday the 18th, thus al
ludes to rumor which was current in Rich
mond on Sunday:
Intelligence was received from Jackson's
army yesterday, by telegraph, to the effect
that Jackson had secured the passes Of the
Cheat Mountain, and had forces at Franklin.
Pendleton county, whereby the enemy's re-
treat had been cut off, They are represented
as'being in most deplorable condition, utterly
broken up, having thrown away their arms
and are wandering about the mountains with
ont either food or arms It is said that about
FIVE hundred of them were captured. Largo
quantities Of ammunition taken from the enc
m, have been sent by Jackson to Staunton.
A more utter discontinue never happened to
any army than that which has overtsken Mil
roy's forces.
