The recent battle.
Since
Gen. Jackson, in his official dispatch, designated
Cedar Run as the locality of the engagement of the 9th inst., it is probable that the term ‘"Battle of
Cedar Run" ’ will be universally used in alluding to it. With regard to the details of the fight, we have but little to add to the statements heretofore published.
The trains from
Gordonsville bring no intelligence, and the facilities accorded the press for communicating with the armies are of the most limited character.
Among the additional casualties reported are the following:
Capt. Snowden Andrews, Maryland Artillery, killed;
Capt. Deyeric, 42d Virginia regiment, wounded;
Capt. W. Y. C. Hannam, commanding 48th Virginia, wounded;
Lieut. John Venable, company B, 48th Virginia, wounded;
Lieut. Cox, 45th Virginia, killed,
Lieut. Hudson, 48th Virginia, wounded;
Capt. Duff, 37th Virginia, reported taken prisoner and afterwards killed.
The following are the casualties in the Louisiana Guard Artillery,
Capt. D'Aquin, of New Orleans; Killed--
Lieut Edward Murphy,
Private Paul Peyroun.
Wounded--
Corporal F. K. Dixon,
Privates A. K. Shay,
T. A. Senddy, and
T. D. Walden.
There are various rumors in circulation as to the movements of our forces, but none are sufficiently authentic to justify publication.
The repulse of Saturday last has given the enemy some opportunity to learn the whereabouts of
Stonewall Jackson, and they are now hurrying on reinforcements, in the hope of avoiding a similar result in the second encounter.
The latest advices from
Gordonsville represent that nothing of especial importance has occurred during the present week, though the preparations on both sides indicate that a great battle is near at hand.
