The monotony of camp life here aud at Camp Tamil ton was broken yesterday by the mtelligence that aa ac tion of some muri had taken place between ® detachment of 160 1s) of tho Twentieth Roginent Now York Voluntecr#, i command ‘of Major Kagolbert Schooepf, and obout coven hundred rebel soldiers. Tho particulars of tho affair are as follows-—Major Schnoopf haying lost a man from, his command the day before, left Newport News on Sunday morning at eleven o'clock at the head of ono hundred and Afty men, and wended his way towards Newmarkot Bridge iu search of him, Arriving near tho bridge, the Major detuilod some of his men to cross the creek, and charged them to search cloroly in tho woods, as tho man might havo hidden him golf from tho enemy, who waa séen about the place for seyoral days previous. ‘Tho roserve was placed behind the Nowmarket Bridgo (that is, whore the crossing formerly was), and another de tachment at Sinclair’s farm, The position of our men bad scarcely been taken up, when tho skirraishers of the Twentieth regimont discovered the enemy, consisting of three companies of infantry, among thom oue com- pany of negroes, who appeared in the front, and mado an attack. Tio left flank was attacked at the same time by two squadrons of cayairy, who came dasbing along at a terrible gate and deafoning yolls. Our mon stood their ground manfuily, and, ag soon as tho proper moment camo to ire, the cavalry being noar enough (about 150 yards), the order to fire was given, and obeyed with alacrity. Tho vesoryvo drove the cavalry back, killing several of thom while re- treating. ‘The skirmishers on tho other side of the bridge were recal'ed by tho Majory.and owing to tho bridge Laving been destroyod, they were compelled tw swim across, hotiy pursued by tho enemy. ‘ ‘The pursuit of the robels was so determined tat a hand @hand engagement occurred, The pursujng party was joined by the nogro soldiers, and Captain Stumpf, of tho Twenticth rogiment, was struck upon tho back with the butt end of a musket, but not severely hurt. Major Schnoep? herenpon took 4 position, deploying big entiro force alung the river banks as skicmishors,and & torrible fight ensued. The cnomy fired by companiess whereas the fire of our men on the pursuers was by Biles’ and so rapid that one rebel officer anda private that stood on tho opposite shore wero, Killed and tumbied into the river on their faces. ‘The enemy hereupon withdrew’ as fast ag possible, fring as thoy ran, leaving their doad apd wounded behind. Six men of the Twenticth rogi- ment wore slightly wounded. The enemy's loss, as far as, ascertained, was ten killed (throe wore picked up yester- day and seven to-day) and probably twenty or more wounded, Ono of the lstter was brought off the field and treated by Assistant Surgeon Heiland, of the Twen- tioth regiment. Several horses of the cavalry were also k The corpses of the two men who fell into the creok floated off with the tide, and Acting Brigadier Gene- ral Weber sent a detachment off to pick them up, if pos- sible, in order fo have them decently interred. Ono of the bodies oly was found, and in the contre of the forehead was a hole from a bullet, which evidently was the cause of Lhe death of this poor man, In his pockets were found anumber of letters, and by that we ascertained that hismatae was John Hawkins, Adjatant ot the Ala- bama Minute Men. On ix coat the butions bore the letters A. M. M. About thirty dollars in shinplusters waa alsofound on his body, and a small bag, siung about his neck, contained nineteen dollars in gold. The bills were on tho banks of North Carolina and Virginia, and as low as ten centa m value. The enemy bad retreated about three huudred paces, and having again taken up a position, commenced to pour a terrible fro upon Majer Sebnoepf’s command, without howaver, doing any execution. The shower of bullets was so terrible that the houses, trees and fences in the vicinity wore completely rideled. ‘The Turners, however, being groatly inferior in strength, kept asafo distance, and did not reply to this fire.
