IRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
CULrEpER c. H., August >, 1868.
A long and severe cavalry fight occurred
near here on yesterday, resulting finally in
the repulse Of the Federal cavalry. On the
side Of the enemy there were some five or six
brigades Of cavalry and six pieces ofartillery,
under Gen. Buford, and our side Hampton's
brigade of cavalry, under Col. Baker, and
Stuarts Horse Artillery, under command of
Major Beckham. The enemy crossed the
Rappahannock at Bevcrly and Kellcy's Fords,
and at the Rappahannock Bridge. The Skin
mishing began early. say about nine o'clock,
near the farm of Mr.. James Barbour, Just
reaching some i've miles back, or within
mile and half of Culpeper Court House.
Our cavalry, or, at least the single brigade
engaged. tough most CALAMITY, bravely con-
testing every inch Of the ground, anu only
gave back when ovcrpowered by numbers.
Late in the evening the enemy came, una
wares, upon some of our infantry supports,
from Mahone's brigade, and were forced to
fall back quite hurriedly, towards the river,
our cavalry pursuing them until after night
fall
as tho wounded have been sent over to
Richmond you will doubtless procure full
and better list than can just now furnish
regret to learn that Col. Baker, who was in
command, was wounded.
There was only one brigade engaged on our
side, though two others, Generals Jones and
w. H. F. Lees, were in supporting distance,
but doubtless for good reasons, were not or
dercd in.
Major Bcckham's artillery was most skill
fully handled, and did fine execution The
enemy ut one time attempted to charge it,
but were prevented from doing so by con-
ccalcd fire, which threw nearly two-thirds of
the charging party riderlcss to the ground,
and ut the same time exposed them to II most
CALLING fire, which served the double purpose
! OF thinning their ranks and saving our guns,
our men at that time being compelled to give
Jack.
Of the respective losses, no accurate es-
innate can be formed, though it is believed
ours will not exceed one hundred. OF the
cnemy's loss | only know that their ambu-
lanccs were kept quite busy in carrying their
wounded and killed to the rear, being 10 en-
gagged all day. We captured about twenty
Ave prisoners.
To-day all is quiet, and it is believed that
the enemy have gone back across the river,
possibly to return i'll force for conflict at
arms on grandcr scale.
| hear that it is undoubtedly true that the
most ample preparations are going forward
for the completion Of the Kappahannock rail.
road bridge.
OF course you have heard Of Moshys cap
turing one hundred and forty prisoners in
Fnuquicr, with their baggage, and as many
good scrviccable horses. y.

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT
OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES.

Again do call upon the people of the Con
etcracy-a people who believe that the Lord
reigncth, and that His overriding Providence
,rlcrcth all th;ngs-.o unite in prayer and
humble submission under His Christening
nand and to besccch His favor on our suffer
ing country.
Il IL meet that when trials and revcrses
befal us we should seek to take home to our
hearts and conscicrces the lessons which they
teach, and profit hy the sclf-eHamination
for which they prepare us. Had not oul
successes on land and sea made US self
confident and forgetful Of our reliance
on Him? Iladhot the love Of lucrc eater
like gangrene into the very heart of thu
land, converting too many among us into wor
shippers of gain and rendering them unmind
ful of their duty to their country, to their fel
low-men, and to their God! Who then vii
presume to complain that we have been cl rs
famed or to despair Of our just cause and TIT
protection of our Heavenly Father?
Let US rather receive in humble thankfulnes
the lesson which He has taught in our recon
-ererses, deroutly acknowledging that to Him
and not to our own feeble arms, are due tn
honor and the glory Of victory that from Him
in Ills paternal providence, come the anguish
and suferings Of defeat and that, whether II
victory or defeat, our humble supplications arr
lue at His footstool.
Now, therefore, 1, JEFFERSON DAVIS, Prcsi
lent of these Confederate States do issue this
my proclamation, setting apart Friday, th'
2lst day of August ensuing. as day OF fast
ing, humiliation, and prayer; and | do hereb,
invite the people of the Confederate States Il
repair, on that day, to their respective place
of public worship, and to unite in suprlicatioI
for the favor aud protection Of that God VIII
has hitherto conducted Us safely through al
the dangers that environed us.
(~( In faith whereof, have hereun

communication signed Argus" which ap.
pcarcd in the "Enlnrcr on yesterday on
account Of reflection which seems, ut first
glance, to be cast on nurses and ambulance

was, that the class referred to should be put
