BALTIMORE, Aug. 22.-The Point Look
out correspondent of the American sends
the following intelligence:
Large numbers of refugees from Rich.
mond continue to arrive here. They re-
port that large force of infantry and
cavalry, under Gen. Lee in person, as hav-
ing gone up the Shenandoah Valley to
reinforce Gen. Early. They assert that
this body of rebel troops number as many
as 10000, their purpose being to secure
the plumber that was captured by Early in
Maryland, which they fear will be taken
by the advance of Gen. Sheridan, and also
to attack Washington or invade the North.
A German mechanic, who has been en-
ployed for over two years by the COnfed-
crate Navy Department in the construction
of iron clad vessels, says there are two
vessels at Wilmington, n. c., ready to run
the blockade. 'They carry 24-pounders and
are covered with four inch iron. Each
vessel carries four guns.
There are also two vessels at Kingston,
N. G.. One of them is named the Moose.
She carries "a Founders and is to be com
mauded by Capt. T. Floyd, of the COnfed-
crate States Navy.
There are also two vessels in the Pedu
river, north of Georgetown, both of which
will be ready in one month and one of
them perhaps sooner. One is called the
Pedu, Lieut.. Morgan, C. S. N, command
ing. The other is named the Marion, for
which no officer has been appointed as yet.
Both of these are clad with iron four inch
es thick and each carries four guns, "a
Founders. Also one iron clad, building at
Plymouth, N. c., her armOr is II inches
in thickness and she is to carry IL pound
ers and is to be named the Albermarle.-
He also reports new boat getting ready
in Richmond, four inch iron clad.

Cannonading heard from City Point

FoRTREss MONROE, Aug. 81, via: BALTI-
MORE, Aug. 22.-The steamer from City
Point states that heavy cannonading be-
gan on Saturday night, on our extreme
left, in front of the 9th corps, which con-
tinued until this morning. Heavy mus
kerry was heard up to the hour the mail
boat left, at 10 o'clock this morning. The
fighting is described as of the most spirit
ed character. 1t was caused by the enemy
attempting to drive US from the Weldon
railroad. Up to the latest accounts they
failed to do so. The 9Th corps has been
reinforced and no doubt is expressed but
we would hold the position.

Fight for the Possession Of the
Weldon Railroad,

HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE PoToNAC,
Aug. 2l.-Our losses at the Weldon rail-
road on Friday afternoon were greater
than heretofore reported. The number of
prisoners taken by the rebels is now put
down at 800. 1t seems that our troops
were surprised, many of them being in
their shelter tents at the time trying to
escape q heavy rain that had been falling
for several hours previous. The rebels
appeared about noon on the right of the
road in front of the Sd Division, 9th Corps,
but this was evidently a feint for the
purpose of feeling our lines. About three
o'clock P. NJ they charged in heavy force
between the 9Th and 9th Corps, succeeding
in turning the flank of the former and cap
turing large number Of prisoners. THIS
part of our liue was forced back some dis
lance, when the 9Th Corps, which had
been relieved the night previous by part
of the I'd, came on to field and opened FIRE,
checking the advance of the rebels and
taking few prisoners. A heavy column
of rebels at the same time charged our left.
Our line west of the railroad was held
by the Sd division, Gen. Ayars, which they
broke. Here they also took 500 or 600
prisoners of the Regular Brigade, which
was commanded by Hayes, who is believ-
ed to be a prisoner, as he cannot be
found. Our whole line was thus forced
back with heavy loss in killed and wound
ed. The enemy, however, suffered worse
than we did in this particular, his men
were lying thick all over the field. Before
dark our men were reinforced and des-
perste charge was made to recover our lost
ground, which was successfully accom-
plished, so that we held at night the line
which had been taken from Us in the morn
ing. Col. Earl is reported a prisoner, also
Col Hartshorne. Gen. Crawford was shot
through the vest and shirt and narrowly
escaped capture. Lieuts. Meade and Mar
shall and Capt. Smith, of CrawfOrd's staff,
had their horses shot while carrying their
riders and rallyiug the men of the various
commands. The last named was prison
er, but seeing favorable chance made his
escape.
Captain Doolittle, of Colonel Wheeler's
staff, was ordered to surrender, when he
getting furious at an epithet applied to him,
seized a musket and bayonetted the rebel
against tree.
Colonel Wheelock's brigade, Third Divi-
sion, was hanked, when they faced to the
rear, charged and drove the enemy, and
took a number of prisoners.
The entire number of prisoners captur-
ed by US lis about 1890, and some stands
of colors.
Our loss is estimated at over 5000.
Nothing but skirmishing took place along
the line to-day, both parties being busy
entrenching. A battle is looked for at any
moment, as the enemy seems to be deter
mined to regain possession of the road,
while we are as determined to hold it.
The prisoners taken belong principally
to Beauregard's and HIPS corps, and look
healthy, although clad as usual.
August 81; A. M.-Considerable heavy
firing has been going on on our left since
four O'Clock, and is at times quite brisk,
No musketry can be heard, the distance
from headquarters being too great.
