Twenty five dollars reward. --Ran away from my residence, near the corner of Broad and 2d streets, my negro girl Puss. Said girl is 14 or 15 years old. copper colored; no marks recollected, except her teeth being nearly rotten. When she left she had on a home made dress of a dark color, and was barefooted and bareheaded. E Meyers. se 17--3t*

not believe it could have been avoided. During the engagement at the Court-House Col. Gordon moved up on the Stevensburg road and attacked the enemy vigorously on his left flank; but, fearing he might greatly cripple his command by prolonging the fight, he retired on the Raccoon Ford road, the enemy in hot pursuit of him. The 6th regiment, commanded by Major Flournoy, made a very brilliant charge, and succeeded in repulsing the enemy's sharpshooters. The enemy's cavalry was supported by Gen. Warren's command — the 12th army corps. The fight continued until twilight, having commenced about 9 o'clock in the morning. Our loss in killed and wounded will not reach fifty men. General Stuart fell back to the Rapidan, where he bivouacked for the night. He was in his saddle early on yesterday morning, and made a spirited attack on the enemy near Rapidan Station. The engagement lasted all day. The Horse Artillery, commanded by Maj. Beckham, did some terrible execution. I witnessed a

and wounded will not reach fifty men. General Stuart fell back to the Rapidan, where he bivouacked for the night. He was in his saddle early on yesterday morning, and made a spirited attack on the enemy near Rapidan Station. The engagement lasted all day. The Horse Artillery, commanded by Maj. Beckham, did some terrible execution. I witnessed a number of riders unhorsed. There was skirmishing at Raccoon Ford on yesterday between our cavalry and the enemy. I hear of but few casualties on our side. I omitted to mention the wounding of Col. Beale early in the action on Sunday morning. The wound is not supposed to be dangerous. He was shot through the fleshy part of his leg. Skirmishing is still going on here this evening. But I am inclined to think this a joint, and that the enemy will cross the Rapidan below this point, perhaps at Raccoon or Germana Fords. While I write, three o'clock P. M., I can hear firing down the river. I must close this hasty pencil sketch. Dyke.

s were sounded, and the men sprang into their saddles promptly and dashed off to meet him.--A very heavy column of cavalry, accompanied by several batteries, had crossed the river at Kelly's, and was marching cautiously on the road leading from this ford to Brandy. They had met with very little resistance until they reached this point, having no force to contend with save that of pickets. Here the 6th and 12th regiments skirmished with them for some time. They were finally driven back. Gen. Lomax reinforced the above regiments promptly. Another engagement immediately ensued, in which the 9th and 15th participated largely. Both fought splendidly; the 9th has long since won a glorious name for prowess. But with all the valor evinced, the overwhelming column of the enemy could not be checked, our cavalry retiring slowly until it reached Mountain Run. Here a squadron of the 15th made a bold charge and drove the enemy back a short distance. It was here we lost two pieces of art

From Genlee's army — the cavalry fight. Outposts Army Northern Virginia, North side Rapidan, Sept. 15, 1863. How truthfully has this portion of the Holy Word been verified: "For we know not what a day may bring forth." In my last, dated the 12th inst., I apprised your readers that profound silence reigned along our entire picket lines. Nor could I discern at that time the smallest speck, indicating an advance, on the bright horizon. All, in the language of the New York Herald, was painfully quiet. Since, there has been quite a formidable advance of the enemy. At a very early hour on last Sunday morning, the 13th inst., your correspondent was informed that the Yankees were crossing at Rixey and Kelly's fords. Soon after intelligence came that they were crossing at all the fordable points on the Rappahannock between the two fords mentioned above.--Gen.

nt that had been placed in supporting distance of this artillery changed its position through a mistake. A portion of the enemy's cavalry swept around, under cover of a hill and out of view, until they got within a very short distance, when they charged and took it. About the same time another gun was captured by a very rapid flank movement on our left. While I regret to record the loss of these guns, I do not believe it could have been avoided. During the engagement at the Court-House Col. Gordon moved up on the Stevensburg road and attacked the enemy vigorously on his left flank; but, fearing he might greatly cripple his command by prolonging the fight, he retired on the Raccoon Ford road, the enemy in hot pursuit of him.
