Pope, reached the Rappahannock River, in its retreat from the Rapidan, closely followed by the rebel army, under Gen. Lee.

Here the Unionists were supported by two batteries of artiller

New positions were taken, from which the old ones could be enfiladed, and on the rebels appearing in strong force
