y on Saturday morning information reached this city that a severe engagement had taken place the day before in the vicinity of Germanna Ford, on the Rapidan. The enemy, it seems, had effected a landing at that point as early as Thursday, and after crossing commenced a movement of his forces up the river, attempting a flank movement of the position of Gen. Lee. At 10 o'clock on Friday morning they were met about two miles distant from the ford by Gen. Edward Johnson's division, of Gen. Ewell's corps, consisting of the first and second brigades, commanded by Gens. Walker and Jones, and Gen. Geo. H. Stuart's brigade. The battle was immediately joined between the opposing forces, the Federal forces consisting of Birney's and French's corps, of Meade's army.

A while before night, however, the enemy began to give ground, and a

The woods served them as a protection against our musketry, but notwithstanding this their loss is believed to have been quite heavy. The letter of our army correspondent, which we publish elsewhere, furnishes a detailed account of the affair. The brilliant operations of Rosser (including the capture of an advance train) and Mosby, who captured a railroad train, will also be found accurately noticed there. The following official dispatch from Gen. Lee was received at the War Department yesterday evening: Hdq'rs Army Northern Virginia, Via Orange C. H., Sunday, 9 A. M. To Gen. S. Cooper: A rain-storm prevailed all day yesterday. No movement of any importance in either army. This morning the enemy is deploying in our front in line of battle. R. E. Lee, General.
