Yesterday Gen. Pore ordered IA Reconnaissance in
force Of the cucmys POSITION in and around Slaughter
Mountain, and large cavalry force, together with
two repments of infantry and a battery and several
mountain hOwlzers in command Of Gen. Sigel, were
pushed forward about noon. On obtaining view
Of mountain slopes, two regiments Of Rebel cavalry
and a large body of inilnlry, aud, II Is believed
some arms, were discovered.
When within range, our battery threw several
shots and shells into the CAVE ~ ana Bnfords
cavalry command made right flank movement Al
tue same time the infantry aud some cavalry made
left iauk movement. These movements, and the
effect Of our battery, compelled the enemy to with
draw behind the mountain on the Or4ngc road. o.
re ching the mountain il was 1scoverej he enemy,
main body had previously retired ly tie Orange
road, and crossed the Rlpaa, and those seen there
ius, before, were tho ear guard.
Gen. Buford Was ilen detached TO make detour
to the right TO intercept the guard Of the enemy

orr guns of Saturday was astonishing. Many Of
tie Shells had hit the very spot where the guns
Stood. aud The earth was lurrowed with shot. Sew
eral dead horses iay scattered about, aud the trees Ia
the rear were cut down.
We held possession OF the ground, and this nom
