There has been some excitement here to 5sv :, -,

They fell back rapidly towards the Infantry ncIo,,

been made prisoner. They found the dead bp3v of
one OF the enemy, shot through the heart aud c8D,4
another Of them. 1t is reported that The reb-ls b
advanced brigade eight miles this size OF Kingon
where they are said to be in considerable force.
1t is oct probable, however, that they will make On
attack the forces stationed here, hough such NAV
have been their intention previous to the arrival Of r.

General Burusd de has large fOlce OF conlrabana,
engaged in constructing breastwOrks about halt uiq
beyond he rairoad depot, which, with the aid Of The
guhboas will ef-ctuaIy prevent any advance Of The
rebel forces and secure the safety of the town. The rae
OF the rebels at their humatng defeat on The l4had
the subsequent occupation OF this city by the Union
forces, is SO great that they would undoubtedly rioa
at It's destruction but the vigilance OF the GeGe and
his officers and leave them 10 hope of accoma 81
ing even tbs. They must wait as contenedy as DOS.
slble, until the policy of General burnside and the pn
o. the camPan causes another advance upon them and
adds another defeat to those already experienced.
THE PRISONERS TAKEN ON THE l4rH.
The sick and wounded prisoners taken at the bateo
the l4tn ult, have since been released by Gen Burnside
and sent to Washington, n. 9. They were sent to
Pamico river in the steamer Hussar and there trans
erred to the captured steamer Absmare. The pilot Of
The Abemare, either through ignorance Or arcideqt
run her upon he obstructCns which had been pac ia
the river, and she finally sunk, but not until alter the
prisoners were landed Il IS thought she may be raised
and repaired. She very useful boat to the expe

on board the Albany.
REORGANIZATION.

Burnside'S command when the reintorcements are al

Fmather Srom tho Fight at South Mills.

The steamer Arrow arrived here last night, bringing
a couple of our wounded, and two Yankee prisoners,
members Ct the seth New York Regiment. She also
brought HOO pounds of ammunition and some ten or
twelve boxes of IL TO- bowtzer shot, captured By our
forces.
We gait. red the following particulars from several
aboard the boat, who were engaged in the fight.
The action began at IL o'clock, at point two miles
north of South Mills whittier our forces had prece eded
for the purpose OF attacking the enemy.
Our forces consisted ct six companies of the Sd
Georgia Regiment and McComas Artillery. The COM
panes were net fall and the whole number of men on
side may be set down at from three FIVE hundred
Tie enemy's force, By their admission, through
the prisoners captured by u.s. consisted Of FIVE regi-
ments nameiy the 9 b New York IL ,uaves) SO b
New York, Col HaW kns 4th Pennsylvania 81 st as
sacbusette and New Hampshire Regiment in conn.,
msnd OF Brig. Gen. Reno.
The battle lasted until 81 O'clock P NJ when our
forces ordered to fall back on their entertainments
at South Mills, which they did in good order. The
my encamped on the ground, bnt during the night be-
came panic stricken and hastily decamped.
IIey made regular stampede and so fearful we're
they Of cur prowess that they fed they turned the
bridges after them to prevent a successful pursuit.
The casualties side few consisting Of six
killed, and about twenty-five wounded. The en9my'e
loss very great but cannot be arrived at with GER
tanty. Ga the field were O number Of graves and
among them one with a beadstone marked "Adiutant "
There reason to believe from the statements of the
prisoners, that they lost many of their officers and
from all have been able gather it is probe ole that
the statement gave yesterday of their loss, namely
eight nine hundred, will prove correct.

the consc,ip.ion Law, dc.

We said at che time of first publishing this law that
our IDEA of bow lar it might be ustifable must depend
altogether upon being satisfied of its necessity.
AS to the ability with which this particular bill 10
drawn or the justice aud wisdom of each of its pro-
Visions not prepared to speak. neither can We
adduce the facts reasonings upon which our concu-
sion of the necessity for bill of this kind is based
but they are such, had we been member OF either
house of Congress- must have been conclusive with as IN
favour of some such action. The interests e}the public
service forbid any minute reference to these mat
ers but hereafter when the seal of secrecy is removed
we feel assured that the members who voted for what
known the Conscrption Law, of the late session. will
be fully exonerated from all the blame cast upon them
by those who either ignorant themselves, opresume
upon The ignorance of others, feeling secure in the belief
that the time for removing the injunction of secrecy
not sufficiently at hand to Illustrate their present
objects of making capital for selfish purposes We have
no confidence in the organic servity that, as
matter of course endorses all the acts of those in
thority end little in the observation-disclosures that
SEXES upon apparently exceptions act, to afford it
the chance of exhibiting sort OF galvanized vitality
which everybody knows is part Of its real life Oh

its vicisitudes, it has still some 400 men
left, and they are all veterans, though
young men, full of enthusiasm and paiiot
