On Friday, Captain Cole's company of Maryland cavalry, forty in number, pursued a party of Ashby's cavalry for two miles, between Bunker Hill and Winchester, when he came upon about one hundred and forty of the latter. A skirmish ensued, lasting an hour, resulting in the killing of six, of Ashbyls men and wounding five. Capt. Cole had three men wounded. A section of Mathew's battery came up to Captain Cole's support, when Adjutant Wilkins, of Gen. Williams's staff, had his horse shot under him. It is believed generally at Bunker Hill that the force at Winchester has been greatly reduced, leaving not over three to six thousand men there. Others say that Gen.

As before stated, the town of Leesburg, in Loudoun county, Va., was occupied by the Federals on the 8th inst. They give the following account of the movement: The details of the affair are to the effect that Col. Geary left Lovettsville on the night of the 7th inst., with his whole command, and marched by two distinct routes through. Wheatland and Waterford to Leesburg, capturing prisoners by the way, and scattering the rebels pell mell. In consequence of his taking these routes the military necessarily entered Leesburg on the easterly and westerly sides, which movements they doubtless effected at the same moment, after taking possession of Fort Johnston, which has been since re-christened Fort Geary. They entered the town with all the military glory of a victorious command, the rebels retreating rapidly as the Union troops ar

She carries generally three months provisions, and is supplied with a condensing apparatus for supplying fresh water. As an evidence of the rapidity with which this vessel has been completed, we may state that her keel was laid on the 25th of October, 1861, and steam was first applied on the 31st of December the same year.

These two iron-clad vessels fought, part of the time touching each other; from 8 o'clock A. M. till noon, when the Merrimac retired. Whether she is injured or not, it is impossible to say. Lieut. J. S. Worden, who commanded the Monitor, handled her with great skill, assisted by Chief Engineer Stimers. Lieut. Worden was injured by the cement from the pilot house being driven into his eyes, but I trust not seriously. The Minnesota kept up a contiuous fire, and is herself somewhat injured.
