WASHINGTON. Oct. 70

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.
Gsn. Stone crossed the Potomac this
morning, with one portion of his COM
mand at Edward'e Ferry and the other at
HsIrison's Island. Skirmishing began
between the enemy, in uncertain mum bers,
and part of Gen. Stones command, as
early as 9 o'clock In the morning. and
continued without much effect until 5
o'clock r. NJ, when large reinforcements
Of the enemy appeared upon our right,
which was commanded by Col. Baker.
The Union forces engaged were about
1900, and were attacked by force sup
posed to be from 5000 to 5000. At
this juncture Colonel Baker fell at the
head Of his Brigade while gallsntly cheer
ing on his men to the conflict. Immedi-
ately before he fell he dispatched Major
Young to Gen. Stone to apprise him
at Leesburg of the condition of affairs.
and Gen. Stone Immediately proceeded in
person toward the right to take command.
but in the confusion created by the fall
of Col. Baker, the right wing sustained q
repulse with considerable loss. Gen.
Stone reports that the left wing retired in
good order. He will hold the approach
es thereto. Strong reinforcements will be
sent forward to Gen. Stone during the
night.
The remains of Col. Baker were remov-
cd to Poolesville. and will be brought to
this city on Wednesday.

self as an Independent candidate for She
riff, against Beeler; and that Leonard
Smith, of Troy, has come ont for Recor-
der. against Harding. Had either of the
above named gentlemen been nominated
by the County Convention, we would
have checrfully supported him ; but they
both submitted their names to the Con-
veution, and were besten-beaten fairly,
and beaten badly. Good faith should
prompt them to yield to the decision of
the Convention. If they did not intend
to act in good faith, why did they per-
NIT their names to go before the Conven.
tion at all :? If they persist in making
the race now, it will be fatal to any as
pira!ions they may hereafter have. In
future elections. as in the past, the Coun.
ty will doubtless be closely contested, and
they could never secure united party
support, even should they succeed in be-
ing nominated. We trust they will take
a )" sober second thought" and draw of
from the race.

Both wings were attacked as early Is

pulsed wherever he appeared. At about
6 P. N. the right wing found itself con-
frouted BY near 1000 ofthe enemy under
Col. Evans with artillery. Col. Baker
CALAMITY essayed the charge in which he
was killed. The officer LEFT in command
Immediately orered the men to fall back
to the river. where they could be support
ed by Gen. Stone and the portions Of i the
army that had then effected a crossing.
Tho men obeyed in good order. carrying
off all the dead and wounded.
On reaching the position selected the
right wing turned, though under fire of
the enemy. which gradually Stacked up
until midnight, when it ceased throughout
the night. The balance of Gen. Stones
command crossed the river and threw up
temporary works. that rendered his posi-.
tion secure and enabled him to protect the
crossing Of Gen. Banks Division to their
aid this morning. The object of Gen.
