Another Retreat.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TIE PoTOMAC,
Oct. 27 L Times dispatch THE enemy
continues To le administrative in our
front. Yesterday as the 9th and 9th
New York cavalry were going out near
Bsalton Station to relieve the 4th New
York and Pennsylvania cavalry reei-
ment while on picket duty, were opened
upon by rebels with artillery. A brisk
skirmish ensued, lasting several hours,
our forces falling back within one mile
Of Germantown upon our infantry lines.
The enemy showed nothing butintantry.
There were few casualties on either side.
Guerllas and buslwliackers are exceed
ingly bold, and their operations extend in
every direction.
Every day they make some demonstra-
ton on our line of communication, and It
is even unsafe for our men to venture out
of sight OF camp.
