---Meade Falls Back.

New YORK, Oct. l3.-The Washing.
ton Republican of last evening contain.
ed the following, which the Censor would
not allow to be telegraphed to the Press:
We have information from the front
this morning that Gen. Meade's army
has fallen back to this side of the Rap-
pahannock, followed by Lees army,
which is in great force, about half mile
from the South side of the river. The
enemy made feint of moving up the
valley on the Southern bank of the Rob-
ertson River and our cavalry under Blu.
ford, crossed at Germania Ford and took
possession of the earthworks abandoned
by them.
When our force was all across, the
enemy came against Buford, in great
force, drove him acIoss the river with.
out giving him timeto destroy the cross
ing, and pursued him to Rappahannock
Station. Fitzpatrick, with a force of
cavalry and artillery which had made o
reconnaissance near Madison Court
House, was cut of yesterday afternoon,
on the rovd to Culpepper, by o portion
ofEwelPs corps, which was formed across
the only road by which he could retreat
in twelve ranks, with two regiments on
each ofhis Aanks. Fitzpatrick was CON-
PEELED to charge right into them. He
led the charge in person, telling his men
that they must do or die.
The cavalry cut its way through under
the concentrated fire, such as has hardly
been experienced by our troops during
the war, and probably his rear with his
artillery retired through Culpepper.
Kilpatrick's loss in killed and wound.
ed amounted to $50.
