th." In my last, dated the 12th inst., I apprised your readers that profound silence reigned along our entire picket lines. Nor could I discern at that time the smallest speck, indicating an advance, on the bright horizon. All, in the language of the New York Herald, was painfully quiet. Since, there has been quite a formidable advance of the enemy. At a very early hour on last Sunday morning, the 13th inst., your correspondent was informed that the Yankees were crossing at Rixey and Kelly's fords. Soon after intelligence came that they were crossing at all the fordable points on the Rappahannock between the two fords mentioned above.--Gen. Stuart, with his usual vigilance, had not allowed himself to be surprised. Through his scouts and other sources he had been apprised of the enemy's making preparations to cross the river, and sent orders to officers commanding the different brigades to hold themselves in readiness to meet the enemy. Soon bugles of the various regiments were

dge laid down near the mouth of Deep Run. Gen. Hill disposed his command to resist their advance; but as they seemed intended for the purpose of observation rather than attack, the movements in progress were not arrested. The forces of Longstreet and Ewell reached Culpeper Court House by the 8th, at which point the cavalry under Gen Stuart was also concentrated. On the 9th a large force of Federal cavalry strongly supported by infantry, crossed the Rappahannock at Beverly's and Kelly's fords, and attacked Gen. Stuart. A severe engagement ensued, continuing from early in the morning until late in the afternoon, when the enemy was forced to recross the river with heavy loss, leaving 400 prisoners, three pieces of artillery and several colors in our hands. Gen. Jenkins, with his cavalry brigade, had been ordered to advance towards Winchester to co-operate with the infantry in the proposed expedition into the Lower Valley, and at the same time Gen. Imboden was directed, wi

ore, away go their lines to the rear in one confused mass. It was a grand sight. Our cavalry continued the pursuit, our brigade not being hotly engaged again.--The pursuit was continued until we reached Brandy Station, near which we now are. A desperate fight occurred at this point between the opposing cavalry forces. For a while the issue was doubtful, and once I feared a panic in our cavalry. They rallied to waver no more till the Yankees were driven beyond the Rappahannock, at Kelly's ford. A decided victory has been gained by our troops. The moral effect gained by the movement of our Commanding General, Lee, cannot be over-estimated. In conclusion, it gives me great pleasure to bear testimony to the valor and fighting qualities of our cavalry. In the past, they may have acted badly, but not so to-day. --Their conduct in this engagement has been beyond reproach. It was gallant — worthy of the most chivalrous age. Our loss has been severe — not so heavy as that
