To see it graduate there was niy one young lady whoss residence was not for the time in Chapel Hill, and she heard no nuisic. had no benUT, saw but few friends and even their greeting was “what news did you brinj;'.'” Still it is some satisfaction that there was a Comrncncement, and that amidst tlie gen eral suspensiofl of labours at such Insiituti'fiis, the University of N.

They are moving in that direction and the next denion strstidn may bo ilown there. 1 think their plan now, if it can be carried out, is to occupy Petersburg and take .

The engagements of j Saturday and Sunday were brilliant and important, but can hardly be considered more than skirmi.shea. They were not general. Some lf),*>X> of our forces were en- ; gaged with or upwards of the eneotiy. The fight- I ing was severe and tiie loss heavy on both sides We j im.iginations, two days, it is believed, .\fter our army ])tured some 600 prisoners. The 4th, tith, 'J2d and ; was far away. Stonewall Jackson had a fight at fltrasburg on Tuesday, with the forces of Shields and Milroy. whipped them, and captured 70-5 prisoners An officer who was in the fight, brought this information to Lynchburg Thursday- evening. and communicated it to the V'irginian. He also states that Banks, Shields, Fremont, Milroy and Dii, were seeking to effect a junction of their forces to overwhelm Jackson It is also stated that Dix sent a' force up to Charlestown, Va., on Saturday last, whioh was met and routed by three regiments despatched by Jackson for that purpose. We learn from the Virgin- i.an. that there were several gentlemen in Lynchburg Thursday evening, whose statements in the main con firm the foregoitig. gentleman from Richmond yesterday, stated that there had been despatches receive*! at Richmond from reliable sources, giving accounts of recent successes to our arms nndet’ Jackson, but the particulars, if any, we were unable to ascertain. We think it scarcely proba ble, that gentlemen whose reliability is vouched for by the Virginian, would make such statements to that pa per as are given, unless they had substantial reasons t herefor. — Kxpieti. LiYNCHBLRG, June j, 'a P. M.—Gen. Jackson’s rear guard, with two pieces of cannon, had a brush witffthe Yattkees near Woodstock, Shenandoah, last Monday. The engagement lasted only one hour. Gen.

From Richmond.—RicuMONu, June 7.—All was quiet : along the lines yesterday. We believe there was no firing of any moment, except that of picket skirtnish- ing, in which nobody on our side was hurt, i Several private letters, foand on the battle tield of I Saturday last, present us with conclusive evidence that ; McClellan's force?? on the Chiokahominy consist not ' only of his Potomac .\rmy, but of heavy drafts from his variously posted forces on the Confederate coastB, and the armies of the West. It is apparent at once that • Richmond is intended to be the priie upon whioh is i stakel his Usi and grandest effort.—Hitgutrtr. G'”i. Beauregard't MottiatnU. — Richmond, June 7.— ! Through the enemy’e papers, [says the Enquirer] we i have their acauints of a falling bac*r iy Gen Beatire I gat'd at Corinth. On Thursday morning, the 29th, the ■ enemy opened a cannonade upon Gen. Beauregard s j lines. They report having driven our troops from their advanced works. Ou the next day the enemy entered Corinth, and found that Gen. Beauregard was gone, they know not whither, and had been gone sever»l days! IJeauregaru, Price, Bragg, V^an Dorn, are names that will command the confideuce of our people iu any course they m.^iy determine upon. The retiremeat from Corinth was nnquestionably for good reason, and has a moral in I it that will doubtless be understood after awhile. And j it was most admirably executed. The enemy were i tiring at our banks of dirt, and killing rebels in their issued, declaring the ports of Nprfolk and Portsmouth, open, along with those of Beaufort, Port Royal and New Orleans.—Fetertburg Exprets.

Two brigades of Longstreet's 1 heroes were s»nt to help HiH « division hold the ground; j but, before their arrival, prisoners had been taken from t Couch's Division, showing that one division had euc- I cessfiilly coped with two divisions on their own fortified I position, .\fter the accession of Kemper’s and Ander- ' son's Brigades (Longstreet’s Division) the Yankees ' were driven a mile farther and three more guus were i captured, and now prisoners were taken from three i divisions Ho that one division »nd a half drove three j Yankee Divisions from their abattis and earthworks, , ^j-itheir jciiiis. stores and prisoners. This result is the more remarkable when we reflect that the i Yankee Divisions are niuch larger than our own. Kcye’s i ivhole corps had been beaten by night-fnll on Saturday, ! Viy less lh«n one-third of its number of Southern troops, i So utterly demoralized was this corps, that Sumner came t« its relief that night. Ou Sunday morning, the veterans of Longstreet’s Division under Pickett, Wilcox and Pryor held at hay the fresh troops under Sumner. The three Brigades were ordered by Gen Hill to ilraw in their lines. This order Pickett did not receive, and he alone with his magnificent Brigade kept the ground for two hours longer We leave out of account two Bri- (fades on his left, which remained with him a short time. The lines were purposely drawn in by Gen Hill to give a concentrHted attack upon Sumner, should he offer the gage of battle: but after his morning’s experiment, he was satisfied with a desultory firing, whose only effect was to Ktampede the crowds of citiien plunderers, that, like unclean birds, were swarming around the deserted Camp of the enemy. Had our attack begun a few hours earlier, we would have captured Keye’s whole corps without difficulty. But the tardy movements of the very troops, which afterwards gave the least assistance, delayed the at tack for Several hours.” Still Mors.—.\t Baltimore it was reported that Burnside had captured Raleigh And at Fortres« Monroe news had been received that the .\merican Hag had been raised at Raleigh by the citiiens' The Yan kee Newbern Progress, we learn, irif'>rrns the North that our State Convention was still in session, and engaged in discussing a plan of gradual enianoipationll Jti the lying yankees! .Vt Norfolk, the yankees had it that “in consequence of the scarcity of provisions, the army iu Richmond is much demoralized, and a great number of desertions occur daily—that full half tue army would desert if they could have an opportunity.’’ Yet they add in the same breath, ‘‘The army has been drawn from all parts of the rebel confederacy, aud it is intended to make a desperate resistance.” A CoiNCifiENCE. —On the body of a dead yankee found on the Richmonil Battle Field, who appeared to be F.

By an ex tract from the Chas.

By all accounts Stanly is greatly distippoiuted in not finding the Union feeling that he had expected. He is dissatisfied, and wishes he had staid where he was. One of the first things he met in Newbern, is said to have been the skull of the first Gov. Spaighi, up m a pole, the Yankee soldiers having violated the graves nnd vaults, and taken all the iron burial cases they could find to send home dead Lincolnites in.

Th^ Citu of Norfolk. —« have later intelligence from Norfolk. The port has been opened, and the people are now receiving supplies. Wool’s determination to starve the people of that city, unless the3’ took the oath of alle giance, it seems did not suit the Washington dynasty. The city has been placed within the military jurisdic tion of Gen. Di.x, who is instructed to let provisions come freely from all the Yankee cities. This, we hear, was attempted clandestinely, but the British consul at Norfolk protested against the raising of the hatches of the first vessel which arrived, giving as his reasons, lhat the port of Norfolk had been declared in a state of block ade by Mr. Lincoln, and no proclamation from lhat quarter declaring il opened had come to his knowledge. It IS stated that anotlier Y inkee ve.sstl heavily laden with provisions, was overhauled at Sewell’s Point, by a French frieale, an>l the Commander sent Lincoln a message, stating that if the Federal (iovernment could not enforce the blockade, France would help him.
