We are about \u00bd mile from the Chickahominy River in a north easterly direction from Richmond.<br \/>\n\tWe are having skirmishing continually along our advance lines. Yesterday two of our men were wounded; one of them belonged to a working party that was engaged in corduroying a road on the other side of the River.

Our troops are not allowed to return their fire.<br \/>\n\tDeserters and prisoners say that General Johnston was wounded in the groin with a minie ball in the fight on Sunday last. They all report that he hasn\u2019t commanded the army at Richmond but that Gen.
