Reported skirmishing.

Passengers by the Central train yesterday mentioned a rumor — for the authenticity of which we do not vouch, in the absence of more direct information — that on Sunday last some portion of General Floyd's Brigade was surprised by the Federals, when an engagement took place, in which our loss was twenty five men. On the next day General Floyd sent out a party of 125 cavalry, who in turn surprised the enemy, routed him, took 175 prisoners, and captured 30 baggage wagons.--This report was current in the city last evening.
