Last night the scone upon Malycrm Hill wasone of iu- tense interest. Among the trees infront of tho brick house situated upon the bi! that overlooks James river sat Gon. Hooker upon an old sofa taken from the man- sion, which was once a Inxurious dwelling, but is now ina dirty, reinous condition, General Sedgwick was in consultation with him, aad the countenances of both indicated that they bad serious business on hand, There was no light save that of the moon, nearly at the ull, and no conversation audible except when an aid or orderly rodo up with a report from the pickets. The re. perts came in fast. It appoared, from all the informa tyon gathered, that tho cnomy had approached tne hill iw three columns, one from the worth, epother from the north by cast, and a third from north by west. Thoy had possession of al] the approaches to the fieli except the road winding down from the bluff to the Tiver road. This was onr only line of retreat, and at the bottom of the bluff the half mite to Turkey Bridge was cut up by deep gullies, dillicult to pass with wagons and artillery, aud which must be waded by in” fautry. The force of the enemy was estimated at forty thousand, and what supports they might have ip the rear could not be ascertaiued. They were preesing our pickets constantly, evidently intending to get as near as possible and open a furious atiack with the first gray siresk of daylight. The question presented was v0 fight or fail back. ‘The facis wore reported to Gan. MoClelian, and ho telor lographed an order, by signals transshitted throagh the ‘of gunboats up the iver foe Gen.

The waters of the historic river, bounded by the vanks and bluffs, flow past in peace along their winding way to the open sea. No shot from guns fired by deloye! bapds disturbs to-night the delightful prospect, while the August moon shines down clear and full on the splendid scone. Her soothing boams illuminate the muddy waters of the royal rivor, and the transporte and gunboats resting at anchor or plying on them, as well ag the camps of the army toward tho interior. ‘The enemy oo longer fires from Coggins’ Point, on the opposite shoro, because troops of ours are thore; nor from the biuila beiow on cither aide, because our gunboats, which always convoy our transports, prove an eijectual moving menace; neither does he attempt to attack our ‘troops in fromt, because our advanced divisions having accomplished tho design of the rocent reconnoitering movement beyond Malvern Hill, and retired within their intrenchmonts, our defensive lines are so sirong that an attack upoa them, by even vastly suporior numbers of the opposing army, would certainly rosult in great dis- aater to the rebeis. Allusion to the naval department of the service recalia some of the thoughte suggested by eocing our gunboas accompanying the hospital ateanboats 1) and down tho river. Fine steamboats, which had beeo fitted up in princely style for the comfort and convenience of travel ers on our Northora rivers, have been ehurtered by our government, aud are employed as hospital steamboats for the purpose of conveying sick and wounded soidiers from this vicinity to the hospitals at Purtrees Mouroe or to more comfortable quarters. it i# a ‘ender and touching Bight to seo those floating hospitals moving up or down tho river nttended by ‘ie guaburts, The crimson fag, which designates them o# belonging to the medical dao partment, las not beeu culloreut to sbield thew from the he littie shelter tent, bivous 2xoidier, exposed, and you ole y vi ar nul junteers resting sweetly, with recolleetions of duty a a aud aallenk prayer for the speedy clove of tho robuilioa; The | or sleeping soundly cll they shall be awakened sron their slumbers by (ue sound of the reveille, T dure not venture to sy how many are dreaming of loving and sed alo rt nay. Hence they are convoyod yy the gunboats. Aud those gunboats, as they attend a ‘ahnost seem as though they were animated with Duman sympathies, They seem to run along the river ‘easier, the paddie-wheels appear to move through the ‘water softer, and all Lands on board look livelier and more vigilant, when they are attending sick or wounded soidiers down the river. With portholes open and gape oaded, ready to deal deserved death to the foe wh. would ‘tempt te interfere with a humane mission, these ever faithful gunboats hug with tenderness the transport steamboats whose crimson flags ought to mke them be regarded by every one as sacred, and seein to bestow upon them, by their constant attend. anes, something suggestive of the care and attention ‘which mother would lavish on a suffering child or a sympathetic soul on a dying friend. ‘The moon illuminates the river for many miles, The lice steamer which is breasting the current so carefully, as though it was reluctant to disturb the solemn stiil- nees which reigng well nigh supreme, has left behind the transports below at Westover, has passed those at tho mailboat landing, and is probably on her way to communicate wilh some of our gunboats, which are many miles above, The innumerable masts of schoon- ers and of other craft at or near the diforent landings, and the steamboats anchored in the Stream, are visible as distinctly mow @8 on any day af noon, The presence of all these transports makes the James river in this viciwity present the appearance of an excelient harbor close te a large com- mercial city, Rowboats are passing between various vessels, aud the quietude of this delightfui bour is undi turbed, save by tho gentle plashing of the oars, the hail” ing voice of ‘schooner, aboy,’’ the puffing of an occasional steamboat or the noise of hor moving paddle wheals. ‘Towards the interior, where the camps of the army are located, the scencs presented on this splendid moonlight night are still more picturesque and interesting. A mid- wight ride amoug tho encampments and along the lines: possesses peculiar intercst. The weather wag cooler than it usually is during the daytime, and tho ride was plea- sant on that account, as well as by reason of tno genial society of the brave oflicers who were my escort and cem- panions. First, coming from the camps to the river banks we wore just in time to see the arrival of the mailboat, crowded with passengers. Most of these wero officers aud privates who have been away on furlough, und who have been compelled to return cither by the expiration of the time allowed them to be abzent or by the recent stringent order of the President. As these came off the boat, showing their passes in turn, thoy made the best of their way out to thoir respective regiments. ‘The agents and the newsboys, waiting for their newspapers with more than the impatience of restive horses, when they received their respective bundles, bounded along the gapgway up the ascending causeway to the sum- anit of the bluff, and thence, some on horses aud seme afoot, out tothe aifferent encamprfients.

McViellan’s course— which, let me incidentally remark, time will prove to have also beeu skilful, wisu and patriotic—has won the admyretion of nearly every soldier inthe army. In the renewal of acquaintanees I flad many who reiterate these sentinczts, while on every battle field on this peningula there rest in poace in the soldiers’ graves those who have pronounced your praisos. But to resumao an attempted description of the passing scenes, After the arrivai of the boat the returned sol- diers and the numerous news agents each pursued their way, the former siowly, the latter swiftly, out to the various encampineuts, They all presented a varied aud picturesque. spectacle us they disappeared over the open space ueur the landing into tne woods be- youd, Suid some with and some without their knapsucks; ant odicert, some with and eome without per ageuts oa horses—wended their way by the light of the clear, fail moon, to their different organizitions. ihey had no guides save their own shadows, which weut be- fore thea.

Now, these ancient possesors of the place cast ihe'r lengthened shatows povon the Dlooming tells, which were seena month ago, but om the hard, dusiy ground, trampled down by thousauds uf soldiers an? linvses, aud pressed by thousands of great army wagons and hundreds of pieces of artillery. Be- neath the grateful sb ide of one of thego splendid trees, a short distance from the road, the hasty persou may no, perceive, but the careful observer will cortainty see, the graves of several of our soldiers who have died sitive our army consuuimated its maguificent movement by arriving at this point ou the peninsula, ‘Advancing @ short distance further, the camps of the different divisions, brigades and regiments, whose colors bear the bullet marks of many sanguinary battles, suon appear in view. Some are located in the woods, beneath the shade of forest trees, aud some are pitched ia tue adjacent Helds, Many of the tents and bivouacs are sur- rounded by bushes aud biauches which Rave beon placed about the: for shade au’ euviter.
