By a gentleman recently from Alexandria, we learn that Messrs. Oanghton and Peel, the l:st of the citizens who were imprisoned for the crime of distributing aid aniongthe wives and children of the absent soldiers, have been ! released. i The citizens of Alexandria continne as faithful j as the sun, and are longing for their deliverance. I They have learned to detect the truth even amid 1 the reports of Federal "victories," and thus keep their spirits up. With the few tories in their midst they hold no intercourse and exchange no I courtesies. With the exception of a very few, tliese tories are the refuse of the town, fndeed : so notorious is this, that on the occasion of 'a flag ! presentation" hy then; to a Yankee regiment, a i Federal officer contemptuously remarked, "I can tell trash when I see it."

In consequence of this the ! stores of the Virginians are closed or have gone into other nanus Jtt hmoml Jnomrer. Is there an Orcanizkm Company. There have be hi several robberies of smoke-houses, &c., committed in this town within the last two or three months, under circumstances so peculiar as to arrest the serious attention of those interested in the security of property in this Town. Some five or six smoke-houses have been entered in the night time, and from one to two hundred and filty pounds of Bacon carried off. Iu nearly every enso false keys to open and close the doors s.'.eru to have been used. .Thesi depredations have been managed with such consummate skill as to make, the impression that there is an organized band of robbers in and about this town.- tialixLuri Watchman. The contents of smoke houses are in demand these times, and it would be well to watch them. The Newbern Progress, published by some of Lincoln's hirelings since the land pirate, Burn side, litis held possession of that place, quotes with great joy and approval an article from the Kaleigh Standard of April 12th, agtiinst the Con scription Act. The Standard is not the only paper iu the State which is giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" by denouncing the Conscription Actand villifying President Davis and his Cabinet. Under the specious plea of zeal for the peoples rights, they are doing their utmost to enslave and degrade the "dear people" whom they profess to love so much. "State Rights will be easily adjust ed when we establish the right to have States," writes a gallant army officer. All the hullabaloo raised over the Conscription act interferii g with State Bights, is the merest clap trap of political demagogues, used for the purpose of fomenting strife and division at home. Let the people watch the men who are thus attempting to produce strife and discoid. They are enemies to the Southern cause, whatever their professions may be. Athiville Kcic. r- im The Surprise of IIuntsyille. The Knox viile Register gives the following interesting and instructive statement, on the authority of respecta ble citizens who have lately escaped from Hunts ville : The question has been often asked, why the people of Uuntsviile were surprised by Mitchell, and why the freight and passenger trains and fif teen locomotives were peimitted to fall into the enemy's hands. Our informant explains the mys tery. So many false reports of the Approach of the enemy had reached the city, that the truth was not generally credited. The telegraph opera tor in the town office, named Laicomb, is a full blooded Yankee and the superintendent of that division of the Railroad, named Hopper, is a Pennsvlvanian, had control of the telegraph office at the Depot, and, no doubt, congregated the extra a lively, appear ance since we drove the detested Yankees from its vicinity and the people are once more breathing the air of freemen and not of slaves. I heard a lady say that she was once more free, and the niggers were niggers again. Up to the 28th of May we captured and had in our possession between three and four thousand prisoners, and I learn that 1,000 more were cap tured between Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg. We have now in Winchester 8,000 stand of arms, taken since we entered Front Royal, besides a number of pieces of artillery, together with the largest quantity of the best ammunition of all j grades that I ever beheld. j The medical stores captured are estimated by the druggists of this place to be worth at least 8200,000. Among them are articles very scarce iu the Confederacy and much needed by the gov ernment. We captured 500 pounds of opium and 200 gallons castor oil, both of which arc greatly needed and have been shipped to the hospitals in Lynchburg. During the sojourn of the yankees in Winches ter the people were not allowed to communicate with anyone, either North or South, without the letters being first scrutinized by the Provost Mar shal, tiiid no Virginian who would not take the oath of allegiance to Lincoln was allowed to pur chase goods from the North or elsewhere ; but yankee importers did all the business, and upon our approach lelt at double quick, leaving behind all their stocks of goods. Some few Jews w ere permitted to traffic who had the audacity to refuse our money for merchandize, but old Stonewall has had them all arrested, and their goods, like those of their northern friends, have beeu confiscated and their dens closed. The following letter, furnishing the particulars of the operations of our army near Winchester, is copied from the Lynchburg Republican : "We got to Front Royal, where we met the 1st Maryland Regiment, and after a fight and a cliarge, we captured every man of them save fif teen. Our cavalry then dashed ahead and took two hundred more prisoners, at a little town be tween Front Royal and Strasburg, on the railroad. In all, we took nine hundred prisoners at Front Royal, including oue Colonel, one Lieutenant Colonel, one Major, two pieces of cannon, horses, arms, etc., in abundance, and 9300,000 worth of Quartermaster and Commissary stores, also two locomotives, and three passenger and fifty tonnage cars. These facts are reliable, and you may rest assured thereof, as I will write you nothing but what I know to be true- We slept on the bare ground that night, and the next morning very early were off at a tangent for somewhere on the Winchester road. On our way to Middletown, the road was often crowded with prisoners, wagons and horses, which our cavalry had captured and were conveying to the rear. When lust heard from, we had 1,500 prisoners, at Front Royal Banks, who was at Strasburg, when he heard ot our doings, cut stick and broke for Winchester in hot haste, but we cut his force in twain at Mid dletown, sending Taylor's biigade (Hwell's divi sion) after the Strasburg wing, who captured many of them and demoralized the rest, ami we hurried on swiftly after Ranks down the .Valley. Every few hundred yards we passed one of his wagons, left upset, or broken or teamless, full of baggage, stores, &c, till just this side of Newton, niter checking us awhile with artillery, he burned up thirty of the trains.and then the rout and flight became beautiful and exciting beyond degree. Prisoners were brought back by scores and. hun dreds, and then you ought to have heard the boys yell and make the old woods ring with uproarious joy. Three miles beyond Winchester, yesterday morning, the enemy made a stand, and the fight began about 6 a. m. In two hours we drove him pell-mell, helter-skelter off the field, and through the town towards Martinsburg. Our Joss is very trifling. 1 think fifty will cover our dead and 150 our wounded. The enemy had, soon after the fight opened, set fire to the depot in W inchester, locomotives and cars there and permitted the i and destroyed all of his stores, and some, say he others to come, on purpose to be captured. Hop per was last heard of at Cincinnati, and Larcotnb is said to be installed in his p dent. "With very few exceptions, the citizens, male and female, are said to stand aloof from the inva- icc as siiptrm ten- ordered the town to be fired.

From the Richmond Dispatch we copy the fol lowing account of tlo battle near Richmond on Saturday and Sunday, May 31st and June 1st: "The terrific thunder storm of Friday oijAt the 30th, led many to suppose that military operations would be retarded for several day. With a swol len stream, thc Chickahominy, and a swamp in front, it was thought that an attack by friend or foe was impossible or impracticable, owing to thc flood of rain which fell; but on Saturday morning early our scouts reported that during thc previous njitf; the enemy had conveyed Leavy l'?Tcaf men across, or in the swamp, and that their retreat or extrication was almost impossible. Towards S a. in. on Saturday we observed large bodies of troops, of Longstreet's division, moving towards and on the Williamsburg road, with bands in fall blast, colors flying, and men hilarious with delight, supposing, as proved to be the case, that the en emy were to be attacked in force and compelled to retreat or surrender. Hastily proceeding down the road indicated, we found it almost impossible to pass, owing to the immense bodies of water lying along the route, to gether with an unlimited supply of mud. From Magruder's farm, and several miles forward upon the turnpike, seemed to be an impassible swamp. How regiment after regiment traversed the ground seems evsn now almost a problem. Yet, onward, onward passed Longstreet's division towards the point of attack; and although everything seemed unusually quiet, there was a peculiar stir and rumb ling in the woods and on the road, (some G miles, and in the woods fronting Barker's plantation.) which denoted that the enemy were unusually ac tive and anticipated our advance. Between 9 and 10 a. in., a part of Gen. I). 11. Hill's division were deployed as skirmishers on the tight and left of the road, which were soon re placed by thc arrival of Longstreet' veterans. Th above statement is an error, as will be seen in a paragraph t-ubjoitiod. Hill's division had driven the enemy from his position, had taken his camp, baggage, stores, and seven pieces of artil lery, and was holding the ground against great odds when Longstreet's division arrived at 3 or 4 o'clock, p. m Between 11 and 12 a m , the 2tb Georgia and 2d Mississippi were deployed an skirmishers front ing the woods, snd began the .advance without much opposition, but us they proceeded along the turnpike and iu the woods, the enemy, concealed behind a fence, opened a furious rifle fire, which for a moment caused our brave boys to wink and stagger. Yet, recovering themselves in an in stant, they delivered a murderous volley in reply, and with hearty cheers flashed thiough the woods after their disconifirted and frihtened foe, driving them belter skelter before them, and making many bite the ground. Observing thc strength of the enemy's line in front, our commander ordered up the 4th North Carolina, who, advancing in force, broke through the 2d Mississippi battalion in their hurried progress, and divided the latter corps in a manner that, subsequently, their whole force could not be again collected Brilliant in concep tion and execution, the finely drilled North Caro linans flanked the enemy's dense line of skirmish ers, and did such sad havoc by their flanking fire that thc enemy precipitately fell back upon their unfinished breastworks in, and commanding the entrance to, thc extensive grounds of Barker's farm. This breastwork, however, is but one of a chain of similar earthworks, which the invaders have erected this side of the Chickahominy stream, and, running parallel With it, arc nearer So our forces from the N. W. than N. L, particu larly so to those of ours stationed on the Mcehan icsville road. Having arrived in open ground, our forces com menced to howl in a fearful manner, terrifying the enemy with their indescribable pounds. The 4th North Carolina, regardless of consequences, shut their eyes to the chance., and attacked the work in gallant style, being supported by other regiments to the right and left. They gained their object, but it is said were unable to retain it, for thc enemy's large brass howitzers dealt de struction among them, and it is reported they fell back in admirable order, until fresh troops could be brought to bear upon the hordes of Pcnnsylva niatis, who, in thousands, were pouring vullics upon them. At about this time, 1 P. M., some other reinforcements of Longstreet's corps arriving turned the tide of battle for a time, but not per manently. Among others St. Paul's (La) battal ion, (three companies) appeared upon the scene, mid looking to where the fire was hottest, dished into the enemy in French style with the bayonet, and with their watch word "ButlV upon their lips, drove everything before them, attacking odd iu every instance, and not satisfying their ven treancc until almost decimated. Our aitiilery at this juncture came into play, and although the mud baffled human industry, patience, and perseverance, some piece of thc Lynchburg (we believe Latham's) Battery got into position, at the enhance to Barker's Farm, and played such havoc that the foe deserted their four large brass howitzers, uiV le to reply. But as the enemy's whole brigade cnnp (tents and all ) were yet standing as Barker's house, out-house, A'c , lay parallel to thc road and a? a very large wood pile was at right angles with if, the tn my, reinforced, .ctotfded their briasf-works. an 1 from all those points kept up me!i a te ritic fire, that our men, appearing from the wood and on thei road, were cut down as fast as discovered. No thing daunted at the immense tliow and numbers of the foe, notwithstanding our artillery, from the nature of the roads and ground, was incapable of advancing, our infantry appeared upon their flanks, regiment after regiment, drove them from their hiding places, captured their guns, fortifications, and entire camp, with great supplies, and drove the foe two miles beyond their encampment of the morning. The greatest and hottest fire was about 4 P. M., when Latham's and Carter's batteries got into action, supported bv the 4th and 5th 8. Carolina, 1st Virginia, 12 Mississippi, and other regiments. Havin? many valuables in camp, and it being well provided with tents, provisions, (including 100 barrels of whiskey,) they mad a terrific effort to retrieve the fortunes of the day, and Gen. Cagey, i their commander, moved up every available man ! to support or cover his flying; columns. Tents, provisions, guns, ambulances, wngor.a, spare bones, j and, in fact, everything stationed on the Williamr I burg road, fell into our baoda, and regiment after regiment of the enemy retreated to the Chicka ' hominy faster than ever witnessed before by old j campaigners, leaving large numbers of killed and ; wounded to the fortunes of war. Beaten and j driven in disgrace from their camp and earthworks ! on the Williumsburir road, the enetnv made bold attempt to regnin the lost ground by a vigorous flank movement down the York River Rail Rad, thinking thus to retrieve the fortune of the day and ptace things" as" thT wM in tbe ; morning. Heavy firing consequently commenced 1 between 5 and 0 P. M , to the left of the AVillianu I burg road, near the seven mile post, on the York j River Railroad, but Oddaway's battery and brigade in waiting received their advanco with ! such ardor that, without any preliminary, the i Tcuncsa?eans and others threw themselves upon . the Federals, drove in their skirmishers, attacked j the main force, and up to tho middle in water j assailed the battery before them, and took it with the bayonet. The fighting in this direction was ! uot of long duration, but of great intensity and ! noise, Imboden's (or Odduway's) field pieces beinej worked with remarkable precision aim celerity, expediting the enemy's retreat within a short time. The enthusiasm of the men on the left of tha Williamsburg road could not be restrained. Shout after shout rent the air, and it did not oven subside when actually engaged themselves late iu the evening; for, ' although not personally with them, we could well mark thou-successful advance by thc dying sounds of their wild shouts in the woods. Thus, then, wheu darkness had fairly set in upon the scene, the enemy's attempt upon our lines at two points had disastrously failed, and thc enemy driven three miles beyond their ori-iml position of the morning, with a total Io?s of twulre or fifteen guns, and thousands of killed aud WDunded, and an immense quantity of stores of every description. Yet what pen San describe the soeno prcsentod on cycry side? Friend and foe scattered far and wide in deat,h, or iu last agonies. Here and there arc deserted camps, dead and dying fill tho tents, horses wounded and latiic rush to nud ' fro iur genus and ambulances journey to and fro here are ariillery-mcn, sonic Federal, some Confederate, wounded or dead w ithin a few feet of each other. All crave water, and crawling through mud, lap the blood-stained and slimy flood. Sm curse, some moan and turn their eyes to heaven sadly. Rebels hand around water to their late foes, and e fs glisten in thankfulness. Squads of prisoners are seen issuing from the woods iu divers plaocs, who scowl upon their ciptors ominously, while oth ers whistle and joke along the road as if infinitely gntified at capture. Here comes a stalwart Ala bamian, left hand shattered und iu a sling, carry ing off triumphantly thc colors, of the 54tli Penn sylvania, keeping a watchful eye upon the standard-bearer ut his side, who scowls, hangs low ItU head, and ignominioiisly drags his slow length along. I wouldn't have surrendered my colors,' said he, " but I was assisting a wouuded oflioer, and was surrounded by three regiments '." A rcry probable story say all soldiers. Presently there appears a long line of ''blue jackets," conducted Jjy a few of tho 6th S U volun teers. Our wounded truly were very numerous. "All right, fellows," said one of our boys, coming from the frout desperately wounded; "Oo in boys and finish wo have driven them as far as log would carry us; we got 100 barrels of whibksy, i hurrah for us." Saturday's fight ended by the foe retiring thra miles. THE FUJIIT ON SUNDAY; Expecting a resumption of hostilities on Sunday every preparation was made therefor, and at an early hour tho enemy commenced to advance down the York River Railroad; but Gen. Mahone's bri gade (Huger's command) met them, and gallantly drove them backwards again, although manfully attempting to regain tho position lost tho evening before. In this engagement, Col Lomax and Adj Johnson of thc 3d Alabama were killed, and the 12th Virginia lost many valuablo men. Tho 0th Virginia did not act so well as usual ! We are sorry to say that our officers suffered severely in thc two days' operations. Gen. Gar land had three horses shot under him, and was severely hurt beforo relinquishing bis command iuthcikld. Gen Pettigrew (of N C.) and Col. llutton of Tenn , were killed, also a number of subordinate officers. Later iu thc evening the enemy appeared in force near the battle field of the morning which was then held by our men. Gen. Mahone's brig ade still occupied the advance and were drawn up in line of battle, prepared to meet the foe, not withstanding the scvero loss it sustained in the morning. . Many of our dead and wounded still j remained upon thc field. An omnibus was sent ! out to get as many as possible, but this was cap- tured by thc enemy. Tho yankees advanced to thc edge of a piece of woods, within about l,0O yards of our line, where they halted and remained ! ut dusk. .
