enemy's cavalry charged in the most daring manner through the woods on our front towards the group. The discharge of musketry and the whizzing of balls near them gave timely notice of the rebels' approach. Horses were speedily mounted and a regiment of infantry fired a volley, checking the charge and probably saving both commanders. The correspondent of the New York Tribune also states that an "unofficial" interview took place subsequently between Gen. Hartmann and the Confederate Gen. Stuart, but the object of the visit has not transpired. The Confederate pickets were still in sight, but the main body of their forces, it was supposed, had fallen back and taken up a new position two miles in the rear. The Washington Star, asserts that Gen. Pope would promptly advance and attack them. Large reinforcements are joining Burnside with a view, if need be, of an advance in aid of General Pope. The enemy are in very strong force on the Rapidan, and their numbers are estimated

His Lieutenant- Colonel, Brown, was wounded. Colonel Knipe, of the 46th Pennsylvania, was wounded; and when the brigade of two thousand men retired from the field, it was well nigh annihilated.

Captains and Lieutenants were also nearly every one killed, wounded, or captured. General Gordon's brigade, which came up to support them, came out of action almost as badly injured.

y deluding him in regard to his actual strength. The Confederates had now advanced all along their lines from beyond the Rapidan. Gen. Banks was this morning ordered to the front. Cannonading commenced at 3 o'clock P. M., and the accuracy of the enemy's aim was unusual. Gen. Angur, who commands the second division of Gen. Banks's army, was upon the Jeff, and suffered much from their shell. He was himself wounded. Gen. Geary was also wounded. The guns bore less heavily upon Gen. Williams's division on the right. For them was reserved the shock of the terrible fire of musketry which commenced at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Crawford's and Gordon's brigades were spread out upon the right under the shelter of a line of woods. A right flank movement was determined upon intended to have been the decisive stroke of the day. Crawford's brigade was ordered to advance. Slowly and steadily they were moving on, and though they knew it not, almost to their entire destruction.

eper, expecting to find only a portion of our forces there, march on Springville from Culpeper and crush the army corps of General Sigel. His plans were completely fooled by the rapid concentration of our forces at Culpeper, and their advancing to meet him at Cedar Run. The cool and determined temper of General Banks accepted the proffered battle as soon as offered; and the battle of Saturday afternoon was fought between the advance under General Banks and the advance of Jackson; under Ewell and himself. After endeavoring in vain to rout and drive Banks's corps, Jackson found himself compelled at height, by the rapid movements in front of him, to fall back to a stronger defensive position to Color mountain, and finding his lines of retreat becoming insecure, on the succeeding night he retreated altogether, retiring beyond Robertson's river, and again beyond the Rapidan. The result is that Jackson is again fooled and forced to abandon his operations, and his prestige ha
