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.

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.
