CAPT. H. C. JONES [Hamilton C. Jones, Jr.]—Our community was pained several days ago, by a report that this gentleman has been dangerously, if not mortally wounded in the battle at Williamsburg. We have the gratifying intelligence to communicate that he arrived here Friday night in charge of his father H. C. Jones, Esq. in much better condition than was expected. He was shot through both thighs, the ball fortunately passing clear of the most dangerous points. He is doing well now, and it is hoped will speedily recover. His escape from the enemy after being wounded was extraordinary, an account of which we will give in our next.—Watchman.
