At early dawn the next morning, the 14th instant, Gen. Ewell moved forward with his command and attacked this corps and soon repulsed it. Gen Stuart also had a pretty sharp fight with the enemy. Gen. Gorden, with great bravery, led his old regiment, the 1st N. C., and captured a whole regiment of infantry; but a very superior force of the enemy arriving at this juncture, he was compelled to release it.

During the night they retired, under cover of their guns, on the opposite side of the Rappahannock, not manifesting any inclination to fight. The next morning, at 12 o'clock, Gen. Stuart proceeded on the Rixeyville road to Warrenton Springs. Before arriving at this point he came up with Gen. Gregg's command, with a portion of it dismounted, placed in rifle pits on the slope of the heights near the river. After skirmishing with them for some time, and failing to dislodge their sharpshooters, General Stuart, with a squadron of the 12th Virginia regiment, led a bold and successful charge, driving the enemy pell-mell in every direction, capturing a very large number of prisoners. It is a matter of surprise to me how Gen. S. has escaped uninjured in this war. He is in every skirmish an

Stuart to proceed promptly from the vicinage of Raccoon Ford and cross the river at Peyton's Ford and picket the Robertson river, and keep up the line of pickets unbroken until he could swing around by way, of Madison C. H. and cross the Robertson in this neighborhood. Gen.
