bern dates to the last have been recei.
we'd. The Raleigh Standard d~enOunces
jeff Davis as a %repudiator in whom no
confidence can be placed, and whose eff
forts to establish a Southern C~onfederacy
will be a failure. The Richmond En-
quirer calls upon JEFF to suppress the
Standard and wipe out the supreme court
of North Carolina. The Standard re-
plies that Gov. Vance will stand by the
supreme court, and the standard also /;
and if Davis attempts to use physical
force to suppress the paper he will be
met by physical force and a Revolution
in the South will be the result. The
Standard says NroIh Carolina has fur
nished ninty.five thousand soldiers from
the causeless war-6fty thousand OF
whom have been killed and wounded
and that this State should send a deliga'
ton to Washington Immediately. to see
what terms can be obtained. A recent

Carolina found the enemy strongly en-
trenched at that place, which commonds
the approach to Weldon.

NEw YoRK Aug. 3.-The following is
from a Herad dispatch in regard to the
fight on Saturday: Buford's cavalry cross
ed the Rappahannoc at a ford half a mile
above the rail road station at 9 o'clock
Saturday morning. His force, composed
of nine cavalry regts. The expedition
was for the purpose of ascertaining the
exact position of the enemy, and the
amount of force they had disposed to
di spute any crossing which we might at
tempt. Half a mile from the ford he en-
countered the enemy's cavalry, consist.
ing of Jones' and Hampton's Brigades,
Cobb's Georgia Legion and Jeff Davis
Legion. Our cavalry drove the enemy
gradually, without any sever fight until a
point about a mile and a half this side of
Culpepper was reached, when the enemy
cavalry fell back on the infantry supports
We were obliged to retire after a brisk
fight with both infantry and cavalry-the
rebels outnumberding us two to one.-
In the fight ear C~ulpepper, which was
the most important we had a few killed
and sc wounded, the latter have all
arrived at Washington. After retiring a
mile and a half our cavalry was at
tackled by the combined forces of the en-
envy, but the enemy was held at bay
We took about 100 prisons. Some of
their wounded are in our hands. Corps
of infantry crossed the Rappahanoc and
are in position to render Buford efficient
support. According to the accounts of the
most intelligent prisoners here the rebel
force is so much scattered, watching our
movements, that no general engage
ment is imminent at present.
