Fight at Shepherdstown.
repulse of the enemy.

[Special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch]

Army of Northern Virginia, July 18.

--A fight occurred yesterday morning at Shepherdstown between a portion of our cavalry, under Fitzhugh Lee and Jenkins, and several thousand of the enemy's cavalry, with artillery. The fight began in the afternoon, and continued until dark, resulting in the defeat of the enemy, who retired towards Harper's Ferry, leaving their dead and wounded on the field. We took a number of prisoners.

The Yankee cavalry advanced from Williamsport to-day within four miles of Martinsburg.

Gen. Pettigrew, of North Carolina, died this morning at 6½ o'clock of his wounds received at Williamsport.
