he very pick and choice of New York, but he is now satisfied, that upon call of the roll, not one thousand would answer to their names. These men say, that McClellan has been reinforced at Berkeley, and that the transports seen there brought troops from Shield's division, who have been heretofore actively engaged in the Virginia Valley. Later in the day, Saturday, two other prisoners reached here from Prince George county, who gave their names as follows; G. L. Curtis, 5th Vermont; B. C. Basbauld, 49th New York. These men tell the same story about great dissatisfaction in the Yankee army, and a great disposition to desert, if the men could get off. They knew that McClellan has been reinforced, and that he has no idea of surrendering. He declares it is his intention "to fight on, fight ever. " Heavy firing Saturday. A gentleman of the highest respectability, and widely known in Petersburg, left Shirley Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, and reached here during the forenoon.

loaded with reinforcements, which on Tuesday afternoon and night passed up the river to Berkeley and Westover, where'd presume the right wing of the enemy rests, as it is there covered by Herring Creek and the Berkeley Mill Pond. The mill is owned by a gentleman named Roland. The following large steam passenger transports were distinctly recognized: The C. Vanderbilt, South America, Commodore, City of Troy, John Tucker, John Brooke, Georgia, Louisiana, State of Maine, Gretna Green, J. A. Morgan, A. B. Arrowsmith, Metamora, Herald, Knickerbocker, John A. Wimick, Daniel Webster, George Washington, Portsmouth, Express, and Conestoga, and seventy tug boats, with transport arks and schooners, all laden with troops. But one steamer has passed down since Monday, flying the yellow flag. The Monitor and six or eight steam gunboats are seen from Westover to Berkeley, accompanied by from sixty to seventy schooner, laden, as far as can be seen, with hay, plank, and other articles, whi

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 company well going 45 or 52 others, they had seized upon small boats and fled across th

river. These are supposed to have been thrown away at Shirley by the panic-stricken Yankees. From the present aspect of affairs on the river, it is my opinion that McClellan has been reinforced by at least 15,000 men. The wagons and tents at and about Berkeley cover the fields as far as the eye can reach. There is no warlike firing to-day, nor was there any yesterday, save a few shells, or rather signal guns, I suppose. Some fifty guns were fired to day at Westover, as a Fourth of July salute, and the vessels all displayed the Stars and Stripes. The troops landing are believed to be Burnside's division, from the character of some of the vessels towed up by the tugs. I write on a sheet of Yankee paper, drifted from the other side. Yours, &c. The drifting of canteens, letters, writing paper, lemons, boxes, etc., from the north side of the river, indicates thane panic must have occurred recently among McClellan's army in the vicinity of Shirley.

e tents, the steamers, the sailing craft, the tugs, the arks, etc., were all there Saturday morning, and there was much commotion among the water craft. The width of the river at Berkeley is too great to enable observers on this side to distinguish with accuracy what the enemy really are about, but still much can be seen that the enemy would no doubt like to conceal. We are indebted to a gentleman, whose position for observation is a good one, for the following note: James River July 4, 1862. Dear Sir: I send you an imperfect list of the transport steamers, loaded with reinforcements, which on Tuesday afternoon and night passed up the river to Berkeley and Westover, where'd presume the right wing of the enemy rests, as it is there covered by Herring Creek and the Berkeley Mill Pond. The mill is owned by a gentleman named Roland. The following large steam passenger transports were distinctly recognized: The C. Vanderbilt, South America, Commodore, City of Troy, Jo
