WAsHisGTos, Monday June ~. 1863
Mr.. T. NJ. Newbould who has just arrived here
from the field of yesterdays battle gives the follow.
ing account Of it:
Gen. Peasanton conceived 1t desirable TO ascer-
tain whether any Rebel infantry existed on the east
side Of the Blue Ridge aud considered that If he de-
feated the cavalry force of Stuart Middleburg,
Rebel infantry if any were at band, would como to
its support. lie desired, also, 10 disorganile the
Rebel cavalry, and dshearten the men TO such an
extent AS TO postpone further raid into Maryland.
Accordingly, on Saturday morning, leaving his
headquarters al Aide, lie detached Bufords Divis'
ion TO the night of Goose Creek, which crossed a
ford near New Lisbon, drove force of the enemys
skirmishers before it, and, recrossing the creek,
formed junction with Gregg's Division and Major
Robe usop's artillery on the Upperyille turnpike,
uear Rectors Crossroads.
A heavy sheng was then opened by Major Rob
ertson, which lasted TILL late in the afternoon, and
the two divisions charged repeatedly, driving the
enemy finally into Asbbys Gap, where the defenses
were too strong TO be sssailed without heavy
force.
Gen. Ploasauton then retired, satisfied that not
only were there no Rebel infantry on this ride Of
ths mountains, but that there were none in the
neiehborhood of Ashbys Gap in tie Valley, other
wise they would have come through aud attacked
him. lie learned, also, definitely, from certain
sources, that Lee was at Winchester, accompanying
the two corps Of Ewell and LOngstreeI, aud that
p. Hill was marching with h.s corps up tue Valley
to join them.
The 81 Brigade Of the lot Division, 9Th Corps,
commanded 10y Col. Vincent, aced as ,kirmisAerS
during tie commencement Of the fight, aud sustained
d slight loss. Our casualties were about 80, as far
rs ascertained, 20 Of whom were killed. These
latter were chiefly Regulars. Tie enemy's lo.s
was comparatively heavy.
We los, few prisoners, and took 10 from the
enemy, with two pieces Of artillery, three csssons
and many small arms a colonel, lieutensni-
colonel, major five minor Offices and many priysies
lie wounded at Uppeiville, aud in houses along the
turnpike.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

The story is that Gen. Burnside has mace some
..m.rkable disclosures before the Committee on the
conduck Of the War. The difficulties that he has
had thrown In bis way since his taking command,
from the day the pontoons not forthcoming, us
Der agreement with Gems. Halleck and Meigs TO the
day he resigned, were of all kinds lmbecility,
cowardce apathy and treason met him at every
turn. His orders were not always obeyed just
when they should be; officers from whom more
should have been expected shrked their duty; tres-
con in our own camps exposed bs plans to the
enemy as rapidly as they were formed, and Jealous
officers succeeded in more than once preventing a
forward movement at the opportune moment.
We have to-day the official repop, of Rear
Admiral Dupont about the Charleston affair The
only point Of difference from the reports Published
yesterday il that the Mercedtss officers and crew
were actually paroed by the acknowledgment OF
her captain and lieutenant. The entire loss OF life
was "a, aud about the same number was wounded.
Rear. Admiral Dupont gives an Official report OF
the loss of the steamer Isaac Smith. Sine got en-
tangled in Stone Inlet with three Rebel batteries,
sdroitly concealed from observation, and surren-
dersd, apparently without any serious effort to hod
her OVID.
Runner has IL that both Gen. Fremont and Gen.
Burnside have requested the President to place
them at once in active service. Although they do
not say so may be inferred that if their requests
are not granted they will resign and retire TO private
life.
In reporting an engagement near st. Mary 6,
Fla, between three companies of black soldiers aud
O squadron Of Rebel cavalry, we are told that the
blacks fought desperately, fully Us well as White
men would do in such AN emergency.
Tho Rebel stories of tue repulse Of our iron.
Glad Montauk from Ogeechee River, proved false
by tho later accounts from Union sources. She
was bit sixteen times, but suffered no serious
damage.

The Europa, at Halifax, brings rumor Of
mediation in new shape from the Emperor
Napoleon Official Instructions, it is said, have
been sent to Washington to suggest that Com.
mssioncrs from the Federal Government and
from the Rebels be appointed to meet on neu-
trail ground to confer upon terms Of peace and
mutual concession. 1t is not proposed that an
armstice shall be made whne this conference
is in progress. As the rumor comes from sew
eral independent sources, it Is probably not
without foundation. If true, it is in effect
only proposition to belligerents to settle thei'
controversy by Congress Of their own. II
rejected, or if accepted and followed by no set
Element, there is still left TO the Emperor the
alternative of offering his own friendly offices.
In either ease that will probably be the next
step, unless our Government shall seize this
occasion to assure the Emperor that no offer
Of mediation whatever will be acceptable.
