Among those who were killed and wound- ed around Richmond we have heard of the following: Capt. Albert Ellery, in command of company C, Departmental battalion, was instantly killed about 7 o'clock Tuesday night, in the last charge wish the enemy made at Green's farm. The ball cut through his right jacket sleeve, entered about the centre of his rilerk in the Second Auditor's Department, which position he held up to the time he was killed. He was about 63 years of age, and leaves an interesting wife and one child. Since the organization into military companies of the department clerks Capt.

the statement that it was designed for the liberation of the prisoners now in our hands. A sergeant who was brought in on Tuesday night, had in his haversack two silver teaspoons and a silver fork, on which are engraved the initials "J. M. M." This fellow had also a small china dish, of a very pretty pattern. On being questioned as to how he obtained them, he said that a squad of his men had been out foraging, and had presented him with the articles as his portion of their captures. Mr. Henry Austin, who lives near Ben. Green's, on his return home on Tuesday night, captured three prisoners, which he brought to this city, and deposited at Libby prison. Mrs. Patterson Allan. There was no truth in the report published yesterday that Mr. Patterson Allan fled with the Yankees when they visited Goochland on Tuesday morning. The enemy did not reach Mr. A.'s farm; but as soon as that gentleman heard of their proximity to his residence he took the first public conveyance which coul

They sent forward a detachment with eight pieces of cannon along the Brook road to the vicinity of Battery No. 9, and formed a line of battle on Mrs. Taylor's farm, about one mile and a quarter from the battery. The line was formed of cannon, supported by dismounted sharpshooters. The latter approached during the artillery duel which ensued to within 175 yards of the battery, being shielded by Col. J. A. Parker's house, near the turnpike From this point they succeeded in killing one and wounding three of our men, belonging to the command of Col. Stephens, at the battery. They were finally driven off by a charge of a body of our men, led by Col. James Howard. After the artillery duel had terminated, about 4 o'clock P. M. the whole body retreated in the direction of the Meadow Bridge road — moving with considerable haste — passing by Mr. Grant's and Mrs. Gooch's, and crossing the Chickaho

Ellery has shown a zeal for the cause which has set an example for persons of younger years, and in no instance has he failed to go with his company whenever they were called into the field. He was much respected by all who knew him. In the same company the following persons, citizens of this city, were wounded: Lieut. Robert Tompkins, slightly in face and shoulder, Charles McIndoe, and F. M. Cary. Lieut. Tompkins was brought into town on Tuesday night, but on learning yesterday that his venerable and gallant commander was killed, he insisted upon again going out to his company, of which he is now in command. In the fight at Atlee's Station, on Tuesday night, the following persons were wounded, and have since been carried to the Seabrook Hospital: Privates T. N. McNally, Co. B, 1st N.

These, with a number of other robberies and kidnappings, they perpetrated on this side of the Brook, and went on robbing and stealing, no doubt to the end of the chapter on the other side. They took a number of citizens not in the army, and after detaining them for some hours set them at liberty. Our informant, who was one of the number thus taken, states that, according to the report of the Adjutant, the number of this division of the enemy amounted to 3,400 men. The same officer

oad, was taken prisoner by the enemy near Frederick's Hall, on Monday afternoon. After robbing him of a splendid gold watch and chain, about $100 in gold, and $1,000 in Confederate notes, he was released. Col. Edmund Fontaine, President of the Central Road, had barely time to escape from his residence, near Beaver Dam depot. In his hasty retreat he was fired at five or six times by the pursuing enemy. A gentleman named Pleasants, in Goochland county, is said to have killed a Yankee Lieutenant, and taken twelve privates prisoners. Matters yesterday. Yesterday matters had to some extent quieted down, and but little was done but canvass the events of the previous day.--Except early in the day, in the vicinity of Atlee's Station, we heard of no skirmishing, the enemy having apparently disposed of themselves pretty effectually. We had a statement late in the evening that they had been disappointed in their expectations of crossing the Pamunkey river, and that they had

They sent forward a detachment with eight pieces of cannon along the Brook road to the vicinity of Battery No. 9, and formed a line of battle on Mrs. Taylor's farm, about one mile and a quarter from the battery. The line was formed iders in the Brook neighborhood they took a great deal of property. The following may give some idea of their depredations: From Mr. Warwick's they took all his teams; three mules and a horse from D S.
