cavalry. The enemy fought very obstinately for several hours. Wickham's men finally forced back his left about one mile and held their position. When the enemy fell back a large number of their dead were left on the field. Our loss in the fight was about 150 killed and wounded. Fifty-one prisoners were captured during the engagement, among whom were two Captains and two Lieutenants, who were brought down by the Fredericksburg cars yesterday evening. Among the officers killed was Lieut. Isaac Wingfield, company G. Hanover Troop, and Lieut.

of the war. Just before daylight some picket firing was heard in front of Hill's corps, and about 6 A. M. cannonading, lasting half an hour, was heard on Ewell's line. Our loss thus far is about 5,000, of whom a large proportion are slightly wounded.--The proportion of officers to privates killed and wounded is very much larger than in any previous fight. The Yankee Gen. Hayes is reported killed, and a dead Yankee General, with the initials "H. H. C.," supposed to be Conch or Casey, was found in Ewell's front. The fight occurred in a desolate wooded country. Little or no artillery was brought into action. At one time yesterday, when the enemy were heavily pressing Hill's men, Gen. Kershaw opportunely, by double-quicking with his troops, arrived on the field, checked, repulsed and pursued the enemy, thus turning the fortunes of the day at that end of the line. The battle field extends over a space of eight miles in length. Rosser's cavalry fought the enemy all
