Another Battle, i'm which the Rebels
Lose 4, 600 Prisoners and Three Bate
rfes, and are Chased Through White
Oak SWa amps.
FokT MONROE, July 5.-Fresh troops ar
rived here from Washington yesterday, during
the day, and went up james river on the eve
ming of the 4th. ~
Four small steamers, with barges in tow, ar
rived at Fortress Monroe this morning, loaded
with artillery, men, horses, ETC., doubtless
bound up the river.
A skirmish took place yesterday morning,
near our left wing, which resulted in the defeat
of the rebels. We took one thousand rebel
prisoners, and three small batteries.
Our cavalry then followed them up till they
passed beyond the White Oak Swamps.
Great difficulty exists in obtaining list Of
killed in our late battles, as comparatively few
cases exist where any one can tell whether the
missing were killed, wounded or taken prison
ers-
For the last few days the rebels have shown
but little disposition to fight, and yesterday
relinquished their grounds and batteries with
! out resistance.

General Thomas Jefferson (StOnewaizk
jackson.

This notorious, experienced, and able rebel
chieftain fell at the battle of White Oak
Swamp on Monday last, while leading charge
of two rebel divisions. He never appeared
on the battlefield in full uniform, but always
led his troops INTO action in person, after form
ing them and giving instructions to sabaltern
officers.
He first practiced the rebel relief system
of fighting relieving those under FIRE with
fresh troops always after ten rounds had been
delivered. In this way be kept his small
army fresh.
He was opposed to delay in attacking an
enemy, and thought men should always be
taken Immediately into action after marching
to the position of the enemy.
he obtained the sobriequet Of 'Stonewalr'
at the battle of Bull Run. During that affair
Gen. Lee asked him if his brigade had not
better retire under the heavy fire they were
sustaining. sNo, Sir said Gen. jackson, "I

City Point, on james river, the railroad

mas been burned by our gunboats.
Gun boats now accompany all the transports
as they leave Hampton roads to 90 up James
river.
The headquarters of our army are not Al
Fort Darling--but five or six miles below
Our advanced pickets are said to be within
sight of Fort Darling.
Gen. MeGlellan's headquarters are now
seven or eight miles from his reported base,
Turkey Bend .
Sections OF our cavalry are as high up the
river rs the plantations opposite City Point,
and are clearing out the guerrilas on the
river.
The army is safe, therefore, in its new posi-
tion, but the loss Of life has been great, very
great III earning it.
Gen. Mcclellan is now being reinforced by
way of James river, but the reinfercements do
not give him anything like the number of The
| enemy.
Gen. Burnside has not been heard of in CO.
operation on the james river, or, on the Pc
tersburg and Richmond railroad, with Gen.
Mcclellan.
There is no reason to believe that he can
cooperate effectually beyond the Suffolk Sta
ton, Va, though he may threaten, in cooper
alton with Gen. Dixs forces, the city Of Pc
tersburg.
Portions of Gen. MeCelans army on the
east bank of the james river, can now hear
aud almost see the railroad cars connecting
Richmond with City Point--and they are not
far removed from the Richmond and Peters
burg road.
If they throw over force strong enough,
they can now cut these connecting railroads
ami thus cut off Richmond from Peters
burg. at all events, they can compel the
enemy to guard them all the while with a
strong force.
