nce, and more than once our cavalry showed signs of giving way. Our infantry was brought up, and upon the Yanks getting a view of them, they allowed their discretion to surpass their valor, and yielded to the necessity of the case. Our forces pressed the advantage thus gained, and the Yankees, not having succeeded in uniting their whole force, continued to retreat. After this was kept up for a while, they were more successful in getting their whole force together, and in the vicinity of Stevensburg, a small village, they drew up their lines in a commanding position and offered us battle. It was a grand sight to see their numerous lines drawn up in battle array on the wide extended plain. We were in an open field, as level as a floor; they occupying the only eminence in the vicinity. Orders soon came from General Lee (Fitz.) for us to advance and charge them. --There was no flanking, no shelter, no protection whatever to our men, but the manner in which our lines advanced drew

Latest from the North. The Baltimore Gazette, of the 14th instant, has been received. It contains very little of interest. A telegram from Washington states that a considerable body of Confederates shelled Gen. Kilpatrick's camp, near Stevensburg, on Thursday last, from which fact it is argued that at least some rebels remained on the north side of the Rapidan. The New Orleans Era, of the 4th, states that the Confederates attacked Washburn's advance on the 3d inst, driving it towards the main body. The Confederates were soon checked, it is said, and in turn were driven back, with the loss of 200 prisoners. The Federal loss was forty killed. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Express says that the Federal forces had fallen back to New Iberia. Gold in New York at the second board on Friday was quoted at 147 3-8--an advance.
The Daily Dispatch: November 20, 1863., [Electronic resource], Cavalry capture in Northern Virginia. (search)
Cavalry capture in Northern Virginia. The accounts from Northern Virginia state that matters are entirely quiet. On Wednesday a portion of Gen. Hampton's division captured the greater portion of a Yankee regiment of cavalry in the neighborhood of Stevensburg, in Culpeper county, with a large number of horses and wagons, and their equipments. A report connected with this statement says that they also captured two pieces of the enemy's artillery, but this lacks confirmation. There is no doubt, however, of the capture of the prisoners and horses, as official information of the fact had reached Gen. Stuart's headquarters yesterday morning. We were informed by a gentleman who came down on the train that the affair was a brilliant one, and effected without loss on our side.

e the following summary of intelligence therefrom: Meade at Washington — Lincoln's Congratulator by order. In Washington information has been received that Gen. Lee is extending his "already formidable" works on the Rapidan. The railroad is now used by Meade as far as Warrenton Junction.--Gen.

Affairs on the Rapidan. Orange C. H., Dec. 7. --The previous reports of the enemy retiring behind the Rappahannock are confirmed by later intelligence.
