How General Aahby was Killed.

Especial Dispatches to the Cleveland Leader.l
HARRIsoSBURG, June I.
Yesterday afternoon body Of our cav
airy under Gen. Bnyard pursued Ashby's
cavalry 6ve miles from town on the Fort
Republic road They were drawn in the
pursuit into the woods where several regi-
ments of rebel infantry were concealed
and who fred upon them, throwing them
into confusion and compelling their re-
treat. One of our cavalry captains and
three priyates were killed, six were
wounded and twenty-five taken prisoners.
Col. Windham of the N. J. cavalry and
Major Picketson of the 4th N. Y. cavalry
are prisoners, After the cavalry fight, the
Goth Ohio and 9Th Virginia drove the reb-
els back, suffering no loss.
Later in the afternoon the rebels again
advanced within two miles of the town.
One hundred and twenty men of the First
Pennsylyania rifemen, fine marksmen,
known by the name Of Buoktails, engaged
them, and fought two regiments of them
an hour and half. Their well-aimed
shots were fearfully destructive to the reb-
els. Their own loss was nine killed and
thirty-three wounded. Lieut. Col. Kane,
their commander, and Capt. Taylor, were
wounded and taken prisoners. The noto-
riOus Gen. Ashby was shot in the breast,
and died in few minutes afterwards
Gen. Milroy to-day, with several regiments,
made reconnaissance in force for six
miles, one mile beyond the battle ground.
No enemy was discovered. They have
probably crossed the river at Fort Repub-
lie. The citizens along the road all agree
that Ashby was killed. We have taken
many prisoners yesterday and to-day, and
rescued eight of Banks men.
