The demand for the leading articles in the

we may add that, suppose il is spring before any

WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-THE skirmish of Capt.
Russell at Bath was brilliant affair. He had
been detailed from General Kelly's command
with two regiments of infantry and two squadrons
of cavalry and was stationed at Bath
On the approach of Gen. Jackson with 600 or
500 rebels his scouts gave him notice. He was
six miles from the Potomac river. He took the
infantry and went about two miles and posted
them skirmishers in a dense wood
The cavalry was left to engage the advance of
the enemy.
An exchange Of shots was the consequence of
the enemy's advance under Turner Ashley, of
guerilla notoriety, who came on and fell into the
ambuscade. Capt. Russell lost seven horses, and
kept eleven of the enemys, and retired with his
whole force across the Potomac, with loss of
only two men, who we're drowned in crossing.
This is considered one of the most brilliant move
ments Of the war.

There has been a good demand for the hog
product; for mess pork from spectators; for lard
from New York, and from Liverpool and for bulk

The sales for mess pork add up 1000 brIs at

On Tuesday the drovers realized fully last

The cattle this week are of inferior quality,
most of the fair steers sold at S@61sc, and some
brought &c.
The failure of Nesbaum & Straus, who have
generally bought from 100 TO 300 per week, has
caused some distrust on the part of drovers, and
this has had its effect to depress the market The
decline quoted in our average is owing in part to
the inferiority of the stock.
AT the close 100 head remained unsold, and the
