s to the attack of the enemy, the loss sustained on either side, or the locality and duration of the fight. All seemed to concur in the opinion, however, that our forces were surprised, and did not know of the presence of the enemy until reports of his artillery were heard. This would hardly seem probable, but there is a singular concurrence of testimony to that effect. As well as we can judge from these confused reports, the fight occurred on the farm of James Barbour, Esq., near Brandy Station, and about six miles North of Culpeper C. H. There can be no doubt that the ball was opened by the enemy, who made the attack a little after daylight in the morning. When they first opened their batteries they were in rear of the headquarters of Gen. Stuart, which they shelled furiously. As a matter of course the camp was thrown into some confusion; but, under the lead of gallant and efficient officers the men rallied and prepared themselves for the conflict. At the first charge

Our loss in officers was, as usual, very considerable. Among those killed we have heard the names of Col. Hampton, brother of Gen. Wade Hampton, of Hampton's Legion; Col. John S. Green, of Rappahannock county, and Col. Solomon Williams, of the 18th North Carolina regiment. The latter was married only one week ago. Among the wounded, we have heard of Col. Lee, son of Gen. R.

According to the telegram of Gen. Lee to Gen. Cooper, it commenced at 5 o'clock in the morning and lasted till 5 in the afternoon. The reports brought to the city by passengers on the Central train yesterday evening, are more than usually conflicting, and it is exceedingly difficult from them to arrive at anything approaching accuracy, as to the attack of the enemy, the loss sustained on either side, or the locality and duration of the fight.
