osed — certainly not less than 12,000 men ready to meet the invaders. Our men are well, with no disease but the fever for the fight. There is a considerable force below us at the Point of Rocks, prepared to resist the passage of troops over the bridge or up the railroad. Among the Virginia forces there, we hear of Captain Ashby's Mounted Rangers, Captain Rogers' Loudoun Artillery, a part of Captain Imboden's command from this post, Captain Carter's Company of Cavalry, and Captain Winfield's company of Rifles. Fortress Monroe and the Sewell's Point engagement. By the steamer Georgianna, which arrived at Baltimore Wednesday, from Old Point, the Sun learns that-- There are about eighteen war vessels lying in that vicinity, most of which are gunboats, though the Minnesota and Cumberland are still there.

d in the late engagement under Colonel Ashby furnishes us the subjoined account of that affair: "On the anniversary of Brown's raid, 16th of October, the gallant and brave Colonel T. Ashby, with about 300 cavalry and 700 militia, (infantry,) and two pieces of artillery, marched down the turnpike to what has been called Moler's hill, (now the School-house hill,) where the enemy had pickets the day before. They fell back if they were there, when a company of cavalry, commanded by Captains Winfield and Baylor, wheeled to the right, and another company wheeled to the left, commanded by Captains Mason and Glenn. A company of infantry, from Rockingham, also went to the right. Thus in order they were to cross a valley about one mile wide, and ascend a steep hill or mountain called Alistot's hill, on which were two forts or batteries of large pine logs, constructed by the Yankees as their standing point of defence. Our two cannon fired several rounds at them, they answering our fir

Our information from the Valley of Virginia represents the armies of Jackson and well as in fine condition and excellent spirits, and anxious to be led against the invaders. We deem it prudent to withhold such information as we have in reference to the position and strength of these forces, but believe them to be ample for the emergency. An official dispatch from Staunton, dated 5th instant, states that the enemy evacuated Harrisonburg on Monday. The town is now in possession of our Cavalry. Under Captain Winfield. We are rather sorry than otherwise to hear of this retirement of the Federal forces. We wanted them to receive a severe thrashing, which we are satisfied would have been inflicted upon them if they had remained. We hope yet that Gen. Jackson may overtake them before they leave the Valley.
mong McClellan's army in the vicinity of Shirley. In no other way can we account for this apparently reckless squandering of army valuables. The unusually long list of transports, too, points to something more than the carrying of supplies. The Yankee army has evidently been reinforced, but to what extent no one can say. Judging from the number of vessels, we think it safe to estimate the number at 15,000 or 20,000. Arrival of more prisoners. On Saturday forenoon, a guard of Capt. Winfield's Sussex cavalry arrived with a batch of five Yankee prisoners, taken near Hood's, in Prince George county. They were immediately conducted to headquarters at the Custom-House, and from thence to Petersburg Jail, where they are now confined. They give the following as their names: Benj. Luche, 1st Excelsior, Sickle's brigade. Samuel Hammond, 69th Penn. Wm. Rowland, 71st Penn. Wm. Carlisle, 106th Penn. Samuel C. Snyder, 100th Penn. These prisoner state that in co
