Uotcher's Bun g ~ aRADQUARTERS rOTOMAO ARMY, 1 Wedoesdayi Feb. 8, '063. 1 - ' ~ The result of yesterday's bugainulent wee more important than reported in my 'last despatch, the particulars of which *ere not to known here at the time I tent it off. When the Fftit Corps , fell hack to. the line of works at Hatcher's Run ' on Mali: day might, the enemy did not " fo llow very *vigeronsly,nor did they make any attempt to storot•the position. - ~ It was believ , d, however, that they wauld do so yesterday morning, but up to noon no sign of an attack appeared, nor did the Rebels - seem to be ia_strong force in the vicinity. It was therefore determined to send a reconnoissance out over the ground °Ceti pied by ns the day previous,. and ewer tain-where the Rebels were, and if possi ble force them back to their works at DAbeey's'lklill. • Geo.CraWfdrd,'s Division of the Fifth Corps, having led the advance -the day beige, and being best acquainted with ;the t aitire of the country, was selected ' for the duty, which they performed' to " the entire satisfactioe of the Command ling General. v . The column moved about neon, taking ' the Dabney's Mill road, and after ad wincing about ,half a wile struck the -Rebel pickets, whO fell back 83 `our men advaneed. ' 1 A line ,of battle was then formed, thel right resting on Hatcher's Run. and the left supported by a part of Gen. Wheat. ou's.cominand of the Sixthrps. Ce 4..., - The' entire line th en ad need can. tionsly through the thick-Wood on each side of the road, and before going far wet the Rebels in face, when aeharp engage went immediately, began. The, Rebels Were steadily driven back until they took refuge behind their works at the Mill, where they made a deter mined stand. ' • Fighting here was kept•up until dark, when our men commenced throwing up slight breastworks to piotect themselves. , ... The Aebels did . not seem disposed to attack again. as they had - done the day previous. and the object of the movement having been accompliOed, by the devel opment.; of their position, our troop. were withdrawn during the night to their former position, on the Vaughn Road, iu the vicinity of which_ strong works have been erected. , - , • ' The loss in the movement turns out to be quite heavy, consideringte 'the sal' force engaged. The Third Division of the Fifth/Corps suffered pri , tipally.. The following are the figures : Killed-5 offi cers, 66 men. Wounded-28 officers, 491 men. Missing-4 officers. 586 me , i. Total wounded, 1,143;, total killed, 37 . ' Aggregate 1055,1,180 officers and men, . Otlt of about 4,000 who went into action. , No doubt a large proportion of -those put down,is missing will 'appear in a few l • ,days, as isi usually , the case—the sting. glers keeping out of the ' way as long as possible./ . . The heavy'loss in the division indicates • the' manner ie, which the men acquitted themselves, and they have been highly complimented ror their bravery by their commanding Officers. +-..' The less, in the Sixth Corps is not _ reported, but is very slight, they acting as'a supporting column rather than an attacking force. Lieut -Col. •Manlove, of the 48th Mississippi (Rebel) Regiment, 'was se verely wounded and brought into the 'Fifth Corps Hospital, where he died. To day has been very quiet. The only firing heard . is from the batteries near the the Appotomax this evening, lasting but ' a abort' lime however, " The Weather lia4 cleared off beautifully but the roads are in bad condition from . the severe storm of yesterday. It is anneunced in Southern papers that the Rebel General Pegam was killed. ' • The Roll of Honor.

The Ameridan troops, in Marching that way, halted at the spring;! Collected the oil, and bathed their Joints: ',with it. This gave them great relief:and rid them , from the rheumatic complaints with which many of :hem were affected. The troops drank freely of the waters; ` they operated us a gentle-purge. . • - There is anether spring in the western part Of Varginia,as extradinary it% its kind ai the one just mentioned called' ihe Burn ing Spring. It was known along time to the hunters. - They frequently encamp ed by it for the sake of obtaining flood water. Some of i'them arrived late one niebt, and after making a fire, took,a brand to light theinl to the spring. On their coming to it, some Ore dropped from the brand, and in an instant the water was in flames, and SO, ColltiMled, ever which they could roast their meat, as soon as by the greatest fire. It was left in this situ ation, and continued burning' foe-three months without intermission.. The fire .t was ettinguished by escludiug the air fiom it' oil, smothering it. The water,taken from it ihto a vessel will not burn. This shows that - the fire is occasioned by nothing more than vapor that ascends from thelWater.l r, A ) oIIERAIMeS kittORMA tuARCII.—..a. let. ter frowiShermares allay says : "No pen has yet i . dequately described the scenes of the grea march through Georgia. 1 can only g iv i n yon a few suggestive instances told me ;by eye witnesses. Hundreds of negroes followed the•army, tired and fcot sore little children as well as gray hared old men from Atlanta to Savannah. On the march they were joined by thousands• some of whom came into camp singing. Prayer meetings were held at stopping places, and there soldiers gathered around to hear them praying with souls in tears and voices in phrenzy, for the great Yan kee army. The poor contrabands were told that the Yankees would burn, roast, boil and slaughter them, and were instructed to hide when our forces should come—but all to no avail. This simple but 'shrewd people know their friends when afar off, and came pouring in from all quarters, bringing information with theta. A.t i night mirth and festivity reigned in camp. The contrrbands assembled round the fires, and made a minstrelsy such as we have never beard in the North. Every soldier who'll's(' a violin brought it .out for the contrabands to dance by, and while a few patted their knees, the rest went tearing away like mad in the .plan tatiou jig and walk around.: Every man, woman and child, poor; down trodden things as they were, regularly , made their sixteen niiles a day, living - upon the charity of the good hearted soldiers; and some times upon tbe refuse of the camp TAX tf:IN BANKS.—The :Comtniasioner of Internal Revenue has decided that Stato.
