Our casualties in the cavalry skirmishing amounted, I am told, to some fifteen killed and wounded; among them, Lieut., Parker, 2d cavalry from Amherst, Va., who was severely wounded and left in the enemy's hands. The Charlottesville raiding party committed the usual excesses on the line of their march, such as robbing houses, stealing horses.

He immediately fell from his horse and expired.--After his fall the fight was soon terminated, and that night and the next morning Pollard's command gathered up 91 prisoners, 35 negroes, and 150 horses, which had been stolen on the expedition. Among the prisoners were Major E. F. Cooke, of the 2d N. Y. cavalry, 1st Lieut. H. H. D'Merritt, 5th N. Y. cavalry, and 2d Lieut. Bartley, Signal Corps, U. S. A.

He had 7,000 infantry, and occupied Madison Court-House on Sunday morning. He also brought with him about 2,500 cavalry and two pieces of artillery, under Gen. Custar. The cavalry and artillery, commanded by Custar, left on Sunday for Stanardsville, Green county, where it arrived on Monday, and pushed forward to Charlottesville. About twelve o'clock they arrived in the vicinity of Rio Mills, where Stuart's horse artillery, under Major Beckham, was stationed. As soo

After the force was divided, Dahlgren's command proceeded to Frederick Hall, in Louisa county, where they captured several of our officers, who were holding a Court-Martial at the time: Among these officers was Capt.
