y on Saturday morning information reached this city that a severe engagement had 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.

Yankees have eight days rations, commencing with last Wednesday. Gen. Fitz Lee drove the enemy's cavalry back across Raccoon and Morton's fords yesterday. The fight on Friday was mostly with musketry, little or no artillery being used on either side. Mosby fell upon the rear of a Yankee wagon train near Brandy Station two hours before daylight on Friday morning, burnt thirty or forty wagons and brought off 112 very fine mules and 20 horses. Mosby's men report that the Yankees have abandoned the Orange and Alexandria, railroad, and it is thought they will go to Fredericksburg if whipped. The Richmond committee for wounded arrived at Gordonsville to-day. The two armies are controlling each other in line of battle, and it is thought a general fight cannot long be postponed. Lieut. Gen. Ewell returned to the army today improved in health. Gen. J. M. Jones, wounded on Friday, will return to his command to-morrow. The army is in the best spirits. Weather cloudy and cold.

t that a battle would be fought somewhere between Orange C. H. and Fredericksburg, and most probably in the vicinity of the Chancellors ville battle-ground. On Friday, about 10 o'clock, skirmishers from Johnson's division, which was the head of Ewell's column, came up with the enemy, who were advancing up the road leading from the Fredericksburg turnpike to Raccoon ford, about a mile below Burtley's mill, in Spotsylvania county, some eighteen miles below Orange C. H., and some twenty-two mile The rain yesterday doubtless interfered with the fighting. It is cloudy this morning, but not raining. There has been no cannonading, but parties from the front give it as their opinion that a battle will occur to-day or to-morrow. Lieut.-Gen. Ewell, who has been absent from the army for two weeks or more, passed Orange C. H. this morning on his way to the army to resume command of his corps, much improved, I am glad to hear, in health.

n, firing the bridges behind him. Among the prisoners captured was a son of Gen. Breckinridge. The following is the latest dispatch from Grant. Chattanooga, Nov. 25.--7:15 P. M. --To Mayor Gen.Halleck, General in Chief; --Although the battle lasted from early down until dark this evening, I believe I am not premature in announcing a complete victory over Bragg. Lookout Mountain top, all the rifle pits in Chattanooga Valley, and Missionary Ridge entire, have fallen into our hands. [Signed]U. S. Grant Major Gen. Dispatches from Meade's army place A. P. Hill's corps at Mitchell's Ford, and Ewell's corps at Raccoon and Morton fords. They claim that if Meads gets possession of the Fredericksburg and Central roads he will have the shortest route to Richmond, and get there first. Where will Lee be? It is rumored that Chief Justice Tuney and Secretary Chase have resigned. The steamer Banshee has been captured, trying to run the blockade at Wilmington.
