upon the enemy's battery, our cavalry was subjected to a severe infantry fire from several regiments of the enemy who were supporting the battery. In this charge our loss is represented to have been pretty severe. We were unable to learn what particular forces we had in the fight. One gentleman reported that the active fighting was done by Hampton's Legion, a North Carolina regiment of cavalry, commanded by Col. Williams, and the 4th and 5th Virginia cavalry, but that the brigade of Gen. Jones, lately from the Valley, was also engaged. After our men recovered from their surprise, we gained a favorable position, which was held throughout the day, although repeated at tempts were made by the enemy to dislodge our forces.

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. E. Lee, who was shot through the thigh, and Col. Butler, of South Carolina, who is reported to have lost a leg.

Cooper: The enemy crossed the Rappahannock this morning at 5 o'clock A. M., at the various fords from Beverly to Kelly's, with a large force of cavalry, accompanied by infantry and artillery.

Stuart's headquarters, and they succeeded in capturing and bringing off three of the six pieces the enemy had engaged.--For some time the cavalry fighting between the contending forces was very severe, and the loss on both sides heavy.
