around Orange C. H., moved down the plank road, and it at once became evident that a battle would be fought somewhere between Orange C. H. and Fredericksburg, and most probably in the vicinity of the Chancellors ville battle-ground. On Friday, about 10 o'clock, skirmishers from Johnson's division, which was the head of Ewell's column, came up with the enemy, who were advancing up the road leading from the Fredericksburg turnpike to Raccoon ford, about a mile below Burtley's mill, in Spotsylvania county, some eighteen miles below Orange C. H., and some twenty-two miles above Fredericksburg, and about twelve miles above the Chancellorsville battle-ground. The Louisiana brigade, under Gen. Hufford, first became engaged, and afterwards the whole division of Gen. E. Johnson, consisting of the Stonewall brigade, under Gen. Walker, Gen. G. H. Stuart's brigade, and Gen. J. M. Jones's brigade, took part in the battle. The force of the enemy engaged consisted of French's and Birney's corps.

At these points it is understood that the enemy made demonstrations as if intending to cross. It is now believed that thisednesday last it was evident that there was some move on hand with the Yankee army.

Fighting on the Rapidan. full particulars of Friday's fight — capture of an Ordnance train — capture of a train of cars by Mosby — the two armies in line of battle. [from our own correspondent.] Army of Northern Virginia. Near Orange C. H., Nov. 27, 1863. There was cannonading for several hours yesterday in the direction of the lower fords on the Rapidan, to wit: at Raccoon, Morton's, and Summerville fords. At these points it is understood that the enemy made demonstrations as if intending to cross. It is now believed that this was a feint, whilst his true purpose has been to cross in force at Ely's and Germanna fords, which it is now believed they accomplished last night. This morning everything is astir, and it is generally supposed that a fight is imminent, and that it will occur somewhere in the vicinity of the old Chancellorsville battle ground. Our troops are in fine condition, and you may rely upon it will give a good account of themselves. S<

ave at last undertaken an advance, in good faith, I suppose, and the result has been a collision about eighteen miles below here, on the turnpike and plank road leading to Fredericksburg. The enemy began his forward move on Wednesday last. He started on this campaign with eight days rations, which, according to computation, will give out on Wednesday next. The enemy have their force largely strengthened by the return of the troops sent to New York to enforce the draft and those sent to Pennsylvania to influence the elections, besides those drawn from the fortifications at Washington. As early as Wednesday last it was evident that there was some move on hand with the Yankee army. On Thursday morning demonstrations were made at Morton's, Sommerville, and Raccoon fords, but these were merely made to divert our attention while their forces effected crossings almost unopposed (for we had only cavalry picket, at the lower fords) at Jack's, Germanna, and Ely's fords.

There has been no cannonading, but parties from the front give it as their opinion that a battle will occur to-day or to-morrow. Lieut.-Gen.

night. This morning everything is astir, and it is generally supposed that a fight is imminent, and that it will occur somewhere in the vicinity of the old Chancellorsville battle ground. Our troops are in fine condition, and you may rely upon it will give a good account of themselves. Some cannonading has been heard from t, and thus saved them, and afterwards escaped. The country where the fighting occurred is densely wooded, and similar in every respect to the country about Chancellorsville, it being, indeed, but a continuation of that description of country. During the fight Gen. Ed. Johnson had a horse shot under him, and Gen. Stuart was them here. You have, of course, heard of Gen. Rosser capturing seventy wagons near Wilderness Tavern, fifteen miles above Fredericksburg and five above Chancellorsville, in rear of the enemy's lines. He destroyed fifty, brought off twenty, besides one hundred and fifty mules, and same number of prisoners. Sunday M
