From the Upper Rapp.,.a,,oe,z

Reports from the new and advancing scene of opera
tons on the upper Rappahannock, on yesterday were
of very encouraging nature, thoughas usual involved
to some oxtent, in the mists of mprobability-
The only certainty of mpo tance which We are enabled
to state is the fact that there was severe fight a.
Catetts Station, the Orange and Alexandria rail-
road, situated between the Rappahannock and War
renton junction, on yesterday in which the artillery on
both sides took the principal part AS the fight contin-
ued all day. particulars of results could be ascerained
by the press. 1t tie general impression that Jack
sons forces from Warrenon fanked the retreatng COL
umns OF the enemy, the atters left supported by
Longsreet on the right. 1t is deemed certain from in
formation received that the enemy were surprised and
among the reported results is the capture of all Popes
papers, plans and portion of his baggage, including
his oyercoa As to the losses of the enemy we could
learn nothing reliable. Something more definite will
doubtless come to hand today.

count OF the burial OF the dead and attendant scenes
after the battle TIE writer makes too the important
admission that the field was claimed by and yielded to

interrupted though often within easy musket range
At length Lieut.. Elliott Johnston of the Confederate
Cen Garnett's staff, advanced down slope bearing
white ag, which be waived vigorously, i to attract
our attention Some of officers once went up to
the Lieutenant who informed them that by permission
of General Stonewall jackson, they might have till

claim, however the fact that he was messenger of

period allowed for burial afterwards, by mutual
consent prolonged till dark The CoDfederates stated
with their flag OF truce that under no circumstances
