, where they were held in check during the day by the 10th cavalry regiment, under command of Lieut. Col. McGruder. Some ten of our videttes are missing, though it is believed that most of them will return to camp. Two of the enemy's cavalry were killed by the pickets in their retreat.

Viele, Military Governor of Norfolk, is called for on the ground th Fortress Monroe, on the 1st instant, says the "rebel ram Merrimac, No. 2," has come down as far as Drury's Bluff. It adds: The arrival of the mail beat this afternoon brings some particulars of the attack made by the rebel batteries on Gen. McClellan's position from opposite Harrison's Landing. The attack was made at midnight with, it is said, four batteries of flying artillery, some being above and some below the point of attack. They threw six twelve-pound shell, some round and others
