From Gordonsville. Gordonsville, Oct. 28. --The skirmish at Bealeton, on Monday, was between Johnson's division and a large body of the enemy's cavalry. It commenced early in the morning and lasted over four hours. The enemy were dismounted, and were driven back three miles. Capt. S. Seabod, A. D. C, to Gen. French, captured at Bealeton, was sent through here to-day for Richmond.--Two safe guards, left by Meade to protect property on the line of retreat, were also sent through by Gen.ion and a large body of the enemy's cavalry. It commenced early in the morning and lasted over four hours. The enemy were dismounted, and were driven back three miles. Capt. S. Seabod, A. D. C, to Gen. French, captured at Bealeton, was sent through here to-day for Richmond.--Two safe guards, left by Meade to protect property on the line of retreat, were also sent through by Gen. Lee to-day, to be unconditionally returned home. The enemy are reported to be concentrating at Warrenton Junction.
Capture of Yankees by Mosby. Orange C. Il, Nov. 25,--Ten prisoners, captured by Mosby at Bealeton, Fauquier county, on Saturday last, arrived here to day. Mosby at the same time captured twenty mules and three wagons heavily loaded, the contents of which were brought off. The enemy are advancing their pickets in front and towards Madison Court House.-- There is some movement on hand with the Yankee army.
Among the names prominent in connection with it are Lieut.-Col. Harris, of the 12th Miss.; Col, Baker, of the 16th; Col. Jayne, of the 48th; Col. Harris, of the 19th, and Col. Taylor, of the 12th. Any number of court-martials are now in session all over the army dispensing justice. Every corps has one of these courts, and in many cases there are courts for the divisions and brigades. Mosby, the gallant guerilla, has again been in rear of the enemy's lines. On Saturday last he came up with some three or four wagons, and captured them, together with their valuable contents, twenty mules, and ten prisoners, near Bealeton, in Fauquier county. Yesterday was a bright and clear day, and to-day is of like character, and the roads are fast drying. Last night we had the heaviest frost of the season. If the enemy mean to fight, now is their time. There has been considerable activity in the Yankee camp for the last forty-eight hours; but what it means cannot yet be told. X.
be attacked until their supplies give out, and then, falling an attack on the part of Gen. Lee. they will fall down to Fredericksburg and attempt to winter on the south side of the river.--And for this reason they have seized all the roads between our army and Fredericksburg. Mosby's scouts report that Meade has abandoned the line of the Orange railway; but from what I have since heard I think he has only abandoned the road south of the river, and that he still hauls his supplies from Bealeton, the first station north of the river. But in doing this he has to cross two streams with his wagon trains, and has to bring his supplies from the railway to his present position, fully thirty-five miles. It is clear that he cannot stay where he is. He has therefore to choose one of three things — to fight, to go back to Culpeper, or to fall down to Fredericksburg — and one of these he must do before Sunday next. The weather has been bitter cold since Monday, and the men have had as m
