field was by three lines of guns. The meeting of General Gregg's command was entirely unexpected by the rebels. Stuart had arrived thus far on a forced march into Maryland, having marched twenty-five miles this morning, and expecting to be on the road again in the evening. Two regiments had entered the town, and had pressed into their service all the blacksmith tools to be found; and when our advance-guard approached they were busily engaged shoeing horses. To-day the command of Colonel Duffle passed through Thoroughfare Gap, after a brief fight, and to-night occupies Middleburgh, five miles from Aldie, and in the rear of Stuart's army. Stuart will have to fight to-morrow at a disadvantage, or, what is more probable, sneak off to-night. Captain Allen, of the Fourth New-York cavalry, came through the rebel lines with this news. During the engagement to-day General Gregg managed affairs in a manner reflecting the highest credit upon his profession. He was fortunate not onl

y, reported them filing in force in both those directions, as though aiming to flank us on both sides. General Pope immediately despatched Tower's division of McDowell's corps to follow, watch and confront them on the right, and a division of Sigel's corps d'armee--whose we did not learn — to do the same for those moving on the left. General Bayard, with two regiments of his cavalry brigade, from New-Jersey and Pennsylvania, was thrown in advance of Tower, and the gallant and efficient Colonel Duffle, of Bayard's command, with his own Rhode Island and the First Maine cavalry, was thrown in the advance of our division of observation on the left. At eleven A. M. it was definitely ascertained from reports from these forces that the purpose of the enemy could hardly be flank movements. Ere two P. M., the impression became general at Gen. Pope's headquarters on the field, that instead of seeking thus to renew the engagement, the rebels were either seeking a new position in the rear or

an artillery duel was in progress. We dismounted, and immediately formed into line of battle and went into the fight. The part of the brigade engaged drove him six miles, and he finally took position on the top of Droop Mountain. Mill Point was the depot for his supplies and stores, and these we captured and destroyed. It was not part of the General's plan to drive him any farther, or bring on an engagement that day; for General Averill expected to form a junction with the forces of General Duffle, from the Kanawha valley, at Lewisburgh, on the seventh, two days hence. We, therefore, went into camp in the morning on the farm of McNeil, who had a son a captain in the rebel army, and uncle to the McNeil who infests the country about Moorfield, in Hardy County. Here we found plenty of corn, oats, and hay for our horses, and they, together with the men, had a good rest. At this place the boys made a purchase of butter. The price was five dollars in confederate money, but they

ippi recruits arrived here last night to be attached to Capt. Peake's company, 9th Mississippi Regiment. They are all fine, athletic looking men, and are, no doubt, fight to the back-bone, like all the Mississippi boys. Sad Accident.--A sad and distressing accident occurred last evening, about seven o'clock, between the main building of the Bedell House, and the dining- room, which resulted in the fatal wounding of private B. F. Smith, of the Griffin Light Guards. It appears that Sergeant Duffle, of the same company, and the former were fencing with their guns in a playful manner, when coming to a "charge bayonets" the gun in the hands of the Sergeant accidently went off, and Smith fell mortally wounded — the ball entering and passing through the right thigh near the groin. At first, it was thought that he would service, the wound, but the unfortunate man breathed his last about 10 o'clock last night, after lingering in great pain. He leaves a family in Griffin, Ga., to m

t appear to have had very good luck. In the fights of the 12th, a detachment of eighty were sent out as sharpshooters, and they were nearly all captured. They inflict severe losses, however, upon us, by picking off officers. The loss in Col. Duffle's obstinate fight with overwhelming numbers at Middleburg, will probably not exceed one hundred. Major Farrington is probably killed, or wounded, as he was not taken prisoner. Capt. Allen and Lieut Falos, who were sent with dispatches to vigorous assaults of Pleasanton, and severe fighting has resulted each day, with the advantage on our side. In the upper part of Loudoun Valley, Buford has reconnoitered to Snicker's Gap; Gregg has repulsed Stuart twice at Aldie and Middleburg; Duffle cleaned out Thoroughfare Gap, and Stahl has reconnoitered at Warrenton. The ground is well covered by our active cavalry, and they are now doing better service than ever before. There has been heavy cannonading between Aldie and Middleb

Lee yesterday morning: "Headquarters army of Northern Virginia,October 27, 1864. "Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "The movement of the enemy against our left to-day was repulsed. Two attacks upon our lines were made--one between the Henrico Poor-house and Charles City road, the other on the Williamsburg road. Several hundred prisoners and four stands of colors were captured. Our loss is very slight. "On the 25th, Colonel Mosby, near Bunker Hill, captured Brigadier-General Duffle and several other prisoners, a number of horses, and killed a number of the enemy. He sustained no loss. "R. E. Lee." The number of prisoners taken on the north side that had been received at the Libby up to last night was five hundred and sixty-five. All was again quiet on the north side yesterday. Grant had, on Thursday, withdrawn most of his force from our right and centre and massed them on our left, say from the Darby to the Williamsburg stage road inclusive.
