CULPEPPER, Va, August I3.-Yesterday
Gen. Pope ordered q reconnaissance By Gen.
Sigel, of Slaughter mountain.
Two regiments of rebel cavalry and large
body of infantry and some guns were discev-
cred. Our batteries commenced Smelling them,
while our infantry and cavalry made flank
ing movement, compelling the enemy to re-
treat behind the mountain on the Orange
Court House road. 1t was discovered that the
main body of the enemy had previously le-
treated by this road and crossed the Rapidan.
The rebels last seen were the rear guard. Gen.
Buford was sent 10 intercept.
1t is unofhcially reported that he penetrated
to Orange Court House last night, but found
them gone to Gordonsyille.
Prisoners state Jackson supposed the only
troops in the rear Of the woods was Banks
corps. He therefore threw large force over
the creek to completely rout US, but the recep-
ton he received compelled him to make sud-
den retreat.
It is reported Jackson encamped last night
near Orange Court House. Pope's forces have
advanced towards Orange Court House.
CULPEPPER, August I5.-Gen. Buford re-
turned Yesterday evening. The enemy is be-
lieved to be four miles back of tho Rapidan,
while the main point of defense is Gordons-
vile. It is reported they occupy the line of
the Central railroad, from Louisa to Char
lottesville, which looks like having formed a
new line of defense, and are entrenching TO
fight decisive battle at or near Gordonsville.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-CorrespcLdenee is
desired with colored men favorable to Central
American, Liberian or Haytian emigration,
especially the first named, as the President
has announced the intention to aid such a
desire tofound settlement of Anglo-Africans.
Communications on the subject should be ad-
dressed to Rev. James Mitchell, Agent of
Emigration.
Gen. Benham has not been stricken from
the roll, as stated, but ordered to report to the
chief of corps of engineers, of which he is a
Major.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. l5.-Capt. J. w. Terry,
Division Quartermsster, just arrived from
Cumberland Gap, 18th, reports that De Cour-
cy's brigade was attacked by Stevenson's rebel
division on the 9th, at Tazewell, and Cochran's
l4th Kentucky whipped four rebel regiments.
Cochran held his fire until they were within
one hundred and fifty yards, and checked
their advance. Federal loss, killed and As
wounded, and 81 of the 18th Ohio taken pris-
oners. We took rebel lieutenant colonel,
whom we exchanged for the 81 prisoners. The
rebel officers admit loss of $50 killed and
wounded.
We took 2l3 wagon loads of forage and 20
horses, and lost the knapsacks of two regi-
ments.
There has been no fight at Big Creek Gap,
as reported; nor any other engagement in the
vicinity of the Gap or Tazewell than the fore
going. All reports of other engagements, or
the cutting to pieces of General Carriers and
Colonel Byrds forces by the rebels are utterly
false.
Gen. Morgan issued a special order, thank
ing De Courcy and Cochran for their gallantry,
Knoxville papers give a list of nineteen
rebels killed at Tazewell.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad has
been recently so much damaged by the rebels
in the vicinity of Gallatin, by their blowing
up the tunnel and destroying bridges, thattwc
or three weeks will be required to repair it.
In the meantime, railroad communication
with Nashville via Edgefeld, will open to
morrow.
