ARMY OF PoToMAC,
Oct. 26th. 1868.

OcL. ZOLn, loO0.
Heavy artillery firing at the extreme
front, appearing to be near and to the
left of Bealton, has been heard to-day at
intervals 1t ceased about 5 o'clock.
The presumption is another artillery and
cavalry skirmish, though infantry may
have been engaged.
Advices from the front this morning
substantiate the belief that the rebels
have no desire to fight us this side of the
Rapidan.
There have been few skirmishes be-
tween the cavalry, in which small por-
tons of infantry participated. But our
lines are now extended to the Rappahan-
mock and the army quietly is resting in
camps.
There are rumors here tonight of
fighting going on at the front to-day, but
the officers from the front report all quiet
There is no information of any engag-
ment beyond mere picket skirmishing
and l am convinced no very formidable
infantry force of the enemy are on the
Rappahannock, and l believe the Army
of the Potomac, will be abundantly able
to crush completely what may be left of
Lees, whenever a general engagement
can be brought on.
Day before yesterday, Lieut. Boyce,
9Th New York Cavalry, stationed at
Thoroughfare Gap rode out in the direc-
ton Of Aide, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether any Of Moseby's guer-
rillas were in that vicinity, the infantry
pickets having been withdrawn. Taking
but one man with him, he proceeded
with great caution till he came upon a
party of cavalry dressed in our uniform
and numbering about dozen, whom he
supposed to be our men. Riding up they
surrounded him and ordered him to de-
liver up his arms. Handing his sword
and revolver, he rode with them till
they came in sight of another party
when the Lieutenant drew revolver
from his boot, shot three of the guerril
las, and with his orderly escaped The
guerrillas fred on him, wounding him il
five places, but not seriously.
