4 Washington special to the Herad, dated
the 9th, states that The I'd division Of the
9th Army Corps crossed the Rappahannock
at Deep Run, at noon yesterday, on pontoon
bridge laid by a detachment of the Engineer
corps. The object was a reconnaissance i'll
force to ascertain the motions and position Of
the enemy. The rebel sharpshooters made
some opposition to the placing of the pontoOn
bridge but were quickly overcome, although
we lost one or two men in the operation At

bic sllirmishing, and the rihe-pits occupied by

The rebels still hold Fredericksburg. Gen.
Longstreet is there, and shows strong front
at the upper fords of the Rappahannock. 1t is
believed that large part of the rebel forces
have gone in the direction of Gordonsvile.
"Our army is in good spirits and ready to
move forward at an hours notice
n. \. Times special from the Army of the
Potomac, the 9Th gives particulars of the
crossing of the Rappahannock
''The crossing was very unexpected Two
pontoons were laid at Franklin's Crossing, one
mile below fredericksburg AS soon as the
enemy discovered our purpose they fired on
our men from their rihe-pits, but were driven
out by the 26th New Jersey. Some sixty of
the 22d Florida were captured We lost five
killed and about twenty-five wounded. Our
forces advance cautiously, and by dark they
reached the bow ling Green road and posted
their pickets for the night. This audacious
movement surprised some of our own officers
not less than the enemy. 1t is a reconnois-
sance, by which the commanding General
hopes to obtain positive information regard
ing the enemy's intentions. This morning
enough was ascertained to locate the greater
portion of the enemy's force. We took near
ly 400 prisoners including one Major Du-
IillS lllC lllSlll isCC lNO COt 70 Udth
from the vicinity of Salem Church to posi-
ton i'll front of our lines. Longstreets corps
reinforced the troops in fredericksburg, and
slept there last night. This morning they
moved in a southerly direction. BY this bold
movement we have demonstrated to certain
ty what has become of the enemy, besides di-
vining his purposes. The men behaved in the
most gallant manner, aud cheered as they
crossed for the third time this historic stream.
The movement has thrilled the army with ex-
element and with impotence.
WASHINGTON, June :.
Whatever may have been the condition of
affairs on either side of the Rappahannocl for
the last two days, it is known that our army
tonight is on this side of the river.
