d taken place the day before in the vicinity of Germanna Ford, on the Rapidan. The enemy, it seems, had effected a landing at that point as early as Thursday, and after crossing commenced a movement of his forces up the river, attempting a flank movement of the position of Gen. Lee. At 10 o'clock on Friday morning they were met about two miles distant from the ford by Gen. Edward Johnson's division, of Gen. Ewell's corps, consisting of the first and second brigades, commanded by Gens. Walker and Jones, and Gen. Geo. H. Stuart's brigade. The battle was immediately joined between the opposing forces, the Federal forces consisting of Birney's and French's corps, of Meade's army. For several hours the infantry fighting is said to have been terribly severe, and the field contested by the enemy with much more than usual stubbornness. A while before night, however, the enemy began to give ground, and at dark they had yielded some two miles of the field, which brought them to entr

H., and some twenty-two miles above Fredericksburg, and about twelve miles above the Chancellorsville battle-ground. The Louisiana brigade, under Gen. Hufford, first became engaged, and afterwards the whole division of Gen. E. Johnson, consisting of the Stonewall brigade, under Gen. Walker, Gen. G. H. Stuart's brigade, and Gen. J. M. Jones's brigade, took part in the battle. The force of the enemy engaged consisted of French's and Birney's corps. Skirmishing began about ten o'clock in the morning, and was kept up quite briskly until about three in the evening, when the whole line of this division became engaged, and from this time until night there was quite a severe and brisk fight.--During the fight we drove the enemy, who were the attacking party, back full a mile, cap

Very few details have been received — too few, indeed, for me to attempt to enter into particulars. The impression prevails in well-informed circles that the affair has not been well conducted by the Confederate officers in command on the mountain. Our forces had been much weakened the night before by the withdrawal of Walker's division, which was sent to the right, leaving only Stevenson's and Cheatham's divisions behind, both under command of Gen. Stevenson. Gen. Cheatham arrived on the ground late in the afternoon, having just returned to the army. Up to the time of his return his division was under the command of Gen. Jackson, the senior brigadier in the division. It was thought that these two divisions would have been sufficient to hold the position against a largely-superior force; but not so. The Confede

Not an item left in the way of clothing, ware or subsistence, because of their Southern principles. These are only a few of the outrages committed by the hated foe. The conduct of the officers in Knoxville was revolting to civilization-- such as walking arm in arm with the negro wenches of Col. Luttcell and others. Brownlow became very indigent at the young Southern ladies of Knoxville and vicinity, because they would nor walk under the Federal flag, and wrote an article advocating their arrest. But this did not intimidate them in the least. Their boldness only increased. They sang their national airs with more
