Of about three hundred and twenty thou.

Col. Alexander who arrived in the

US that considerable fight took place
about two miles this side of Strswsbure
on Wednesday last. Maj niece. Of the
Sd Virginia Cavalry, with portions of
Rowand's Ults, and WHITES Cayalrv
companies, encountered force Of ,b,ogo
or four hundred rebels at the place inI;.
Gated. Maj. M'Gee's squadron woo tha
advance of a more formidable force out
upon reconnaissance, and he made a
dash upon the rebels ami after very
brief and brilliant fight drove them from
their position without the assistance OF
the main force.
One man of Rowand's company was
killed and another wounded. The man
who was killed was James eastman of
this city. The wounded man was J.
Green of Lewis county.

INC Invasion uf west ,ylrgInla.

From the Wheeling Intcligcncer, May Cd.
There seems good reason to believe
that the rebels have very considera,
Bile force under ImbodGn tand Jackson,
threatening CIarksburg from the direo.
ton Of Weston. ALI reports yesterday
pointed in that way. The probability is
that their main strength is in that d..
rection, and it is held in reserve for the
big end Of the work yet to be attempt
cd
The situation last evening was gem
orally understood to be this: That Jones
had gotten his forces as far as Bridge
port on the Northwestern Virginia road,
which is seventeen miles from Grafton
and about FIVE miles from Clarssburg;
that he was there attempting to form a
junction with Imboden and Jackson,
preparatory 10 a combined attack on
Clarksburg. The aggregate strength of
the rebel commanders is variousIy esti.
mated at l0and $1,000. Undoubtedly
it is much larger than heretofore rcpor.
ted. Tho slow and stubborn way in
which they move indicates that fact.
We have no report of what was done
after the encounter at Shinston. Our
forces it is thought, fell back 10 Clarks,
burg in apprehension Of the rebels in
the rear,
Concerning the Whereabouts Of Col.
Nulligan and other portion Of our troops
we have no reliable reports. II we had
it would not be proper 10 give them.--
Neither is it proper for US to mention
anything that is being done at this or
any other end of the Baltimore road.-l
We can report the road clear from here
10 bloomington, lad it Is believed from
here to Fairmont, There are no rebels
in the latter place We shall doubtless
hear importan. news from the seat OF
war to-day, Matters cannot last many
houts US they now stand,

GEN. HOOKER AT TIE POST OF
DANGER.
THE LATEST.
WASHINGTON. MAY

AshlnuIoNI MAY y.
"Rolisble Information hes reached the
city this afternoon from the amy of the
Potomac, going to show that terrible
engagement has been going on yesterday
and today. The brilliant maneuyer by
which the rebels baye Iecn aanked on
both sides, have been followed up by
daring conflicts in which our troops have
been extremely successful. During the
whole of Saturday the musketry and ar.
tillery firing was absolutely continuous,
especially on the right, where Howard's
corps was engaged. Between midnight
and three o'clock this morning (SGn.
day ~ pontoon bridge was laid between
Falmolh and fredericksburg, and our
troops, part Of the Sixth Corps, marched
and took possession Of tie town, driving
out the enemy.
The Tribune says: The left wing is
in possession of Fredericksburg and Of
the FIRST line Of redoubts on the hill be-
hind it, and was feeling its way to the
second line. The river was crossed,
and the redoubts carried with great ease
and very slight loss of life.
The rebels had marched awoy in the
direction of aucollorsvills, to attack
our right wing there posted, leaving at
first 10000, but subsequently not more
than 5000 to 1000 men in their works,
as was ascertained by n reconnaissance
from loves balloon.
New YORK, May 4--Thc Times cor.
respondent, dating ION the field, near
Charlottesville, states; THE second
army corps took position the night
previous on the left; and The third corps
reached the from, about noon.' The en-.
emy's flank is thus dangerously exposed
and il they fight it must be in open field.
dispatch was captured Yesterday
ltom Gen. Leo to an engineer officer, do.
ted the Goth. Leo says he is much sur
priscd at this movement, and he bad nos
anticipated it, and was not prepared to
give instructions.
Our men entered with much en.hus''
siasm, and drove the rebels from two
ridges parallel with the Rappahannock.
gaining q mile and fifty prisoners,
Hooker then ordered them TO retire,
not wishing to bring on a general en-
gagemcnt. The rebels mislook our re.
tirement for a check, and followed rap
idly. On the top Of the FIRST ridge the
rebels hal ted q moment and gave yell,
then came down on double quick, but
were met by Sykes division, who pour.
cd in terrible fire Of artillery at short
range.
"ThCy then advanced on the lOrlifca.
lions upon the slopes in exactly the di.
rection Of the move OF Burnside, and it
is reported that by noon they had reach.
ed the top Of the hills. The enemy had
left this part exposed, not expecting an
attack here, His troops we're withdrawn
TO the quarter where tho conflict was al
ready raging. Our troops arc behaving
splendidly and worthy oftheir cause and
their leader, Not single instance Of
misbehOvior has occurred amongst any
OF our regiments. Gen. Hooker Is con.
stantly in tho thickest Of the fight, and
hiS escape from bullets have already
been miraculous,

The GAINESVILLE (ohio) Courier says;
Reports from all sections of the country
speak with much confidence of the fruit
crop for 1868. The extreme backward
ness OF the season has SO retarded the
growth of buds that it is hardly possible
they can swell sufficiently, before warm
weather, SO as to be destroyed by any
frost we ore likely 10 have.
