by General Meade, that General Stuart
was preparing to make one Of bis custom

and prevent communication with Baltimore
and Washington.
Gen. Gregg, with a cavalry division, was
ordered 10 advance from our extreme right,
and interrupt him, taking two bIigades and
one battery. He proceeded to accomplish
his mission and met Stuart about two miles
from our lines. already on his way 10 exc

Gen. Gregg charged on the rebels and
was at first repulsed, but he rallied his men
and again charged, routing Stuart's force,
who left their DEAD and wounded on the
field in their hasty retreat. Among the
killed were two rebel Majors. Our loss
was from thirty to forty killed, and one
hundred and ten wounded.

General officers have been paroled. Two

prisoners are sent out; their destination
is reported TO be Tsliadega, Alabama.
Many Of them are anxious not 70 be pa

ance, quit the rebel service aud proceed

Several women and children have been
killed or injured during the siege. The
hundred houses occupied by the SICK and
wounded bage been constantly exposed to
the shells, and about twenty-five hundred
persons have been killed inside OF the
works slnc- the siege began.
The labor performed on the fortified
tions, by 10th sides, is prodigious. The
weight Of artillery has knocked most Of
their works into indistinguishable heaps
There were about ! 300 women and chill
dren in the city during the bombarnment
who have, for the greater part Of the time
been obliged to live in cave, Of which
there are several hundred. The citizen;
have not been allowed to draw from thC
army supplies, except 10 cases Of destitu
ton. The prices of food have been enor
nous: five dollars ponnd has been
charged for flour, and a dollar pound iol
mule meat.
