Brisk Cavalry Fight-HebeIs Driven
back-meade thinks it a Serious
Matter.
New YoRK, July ll.-A special to the Tri-
bune from Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
Friday, July 10, says: A vigorous artillery and
cavalry fight took place this morning near An
tietam creek, preparatory to the great expected
conflict. The cavalry and artillery of Buford,
aided by fitzpatrick on the left flank Of the ene-
my, dslodged him last evening from the village
Of Beneyola, on the road from Boonsboro to
HsgerstowD, driving him two miles beyond
Beaver creek. This morning sharp skirmishing
continued with equal success, until the enemy
rest, d TO stroug position near FunkstoWn
The artillery was then replaced by fresh bat
teries.
To detail the positions and locality of corps
would be improper.
II ia thought the enemy will make vigorous
stand. To cross portion Of their forces would
enable our army to attack vii h esae their rear,
and they will probAly resist, taking the chances
of victory or disorgsnization.
6P. M.-The utmost activity now prevails In
the Army of the Potomac.
A deserter who came into our lines last night
reports Lee has q single brigade across the Pc
tomac near Williamsport, and has succeeded In
getting over ammunition and supplies, although
he could not move his army over it with safety
or expedition. Hereports Lee as now fortified,
his artillery placed, and now ready to give US
b~ttle whoaever we attack sHe thinks Loo
has about fifty thousand effective men. They
are still hopeful Of conqueriDg US, and think it
was about an even thing at Gettysburg.
Men IN the rebel army lad not heard Of the
fall of Vicksburg. -.. .l.. ....
Lee is evidently driven to the wall, and will
fight his men to the bitter end.
Gen. Meade says, to meet and conquer On
army Of fifty thousand veteran troops Ia most
serious undertaking, the result being deter
mined not by human might alone.
Our cavalry drove o considerable force of
their scouts from the front OF Boonceboro again J.,
last night, through and beyond this neighbor-
hood to their entrenohments near HagerstoWn.
At ten O'Clock this morning the enemy held
the right of HagerstoWn, and our forces the
left. At 2:2O very heavy and rapid cannona
ding opened upon the rebels, and continued fol-
about an hour, resulting only in driving them
from the woods. ,9t

THE CoNscRIPT CAMP ATLoNG ISLAND
On Tuesday forenoon a party of forty
five substitutes from Brattleboro, went
down to Long Island, Boston Harbor.-
When they left Brattleboro, Monday,
they numbered forty-eight men. The
Traveller of Tuesday says:
"While the train was in motion between
Concord and Waltham, two men jumped
off and escaped.
The squad stopped at the Beach street
barracks last night. While on the way
to the boat, this morning, one Of the men
ran past the guard and hurried into Rich
mond street. One of the guard snapped
his musket at the fellow, but the charge
did not explode. The substitute belonged
IN this city, and he probably found friends
to conceal him without going far.
This squad of men with two hundred
others from the State, now at Long Is
land, will FIJI the requisition for the I'd
Vermont regiment, to which they will
probably be sent in a few days. Col.
Walbridge of that regiment, went down to
the rendezvous to-day.

There is no late news of much importance. Every
thing remains quiet around Fredericksburg since the

RAMSEUR'S BRIGADE.

Brgadier-General Ramseur (who is native of
Lincoln county, n. o. commanded Brigade in
the late battles composed of the I'd, 18th, 14th
and 3Oth N. G. Regiments. 4 member of the
I'd Regiment, writing to the Wilmington Journal,
speaks of the conduct of Ramseur's Brigade in
the battle of Monday the 18th instant, as follows
The brigade covered itself with glory We
drove the enemy from their strong position, but
with the loss OF many gallant fellows. The woods
mere are very thick, and the enemy had occupied
themselves all night in telling trees to impede
our progress, and in making several lines of
brcastworks. No troops ever had harder task
set them than to drive them out Of their impreg-
nable position. Our men advanced gallantly
through heavy artillery fire. through the very
thlckest underground, and over felled trees, until
they reached the enemy. Our brigade was in the
third line, and so not called on until the
others had advanced; the aim was to disodge the
enemy from very strong breastwork made Of
telled trees. Pryors Brigade advanced, but was
driven back; the old Stonewall Brigade moved up
with the like result. Now came our turn and
Ramseur's Brigade ordered forward. They
advanced at doublequck, regardless of the storm
Of grape and minnie balls which fell around them
Onward went the gallant fellows until they reached
the breastworks, and the enemy were driven
pelneu out of them. Just then the enemy
appeared on our flank; our ammunition ex-
haustcd and were ordered to fall back; this was
done in good order, but not far enough TO allow
the enemy to re-occupy their position. The
ground was covered with the dead and wounded.
General Ranseur wept like child on beholding
the shattered remnants of the noble Brigade, whose
ranks were full fifteen minutes before. Our
regiment went in with nearly four hundred men,
and now one hundred cannot be mustered, ana
every one OF the absent is either dead or wounded.
Stuart commands our part of the line When our
Brigade came out OF the fight, Stuart ordered
three cheers for it. Gen'ls Rhodes and Ramseur
each made speeches. Stuart told Ramseur he
ought to be Major-G General "No Sir" said
he, Il want to be Brigader, and remain with my
noble Brigade"
