The Fight mith Tie Yankee Carairy a. Bran
dy Sutton.
The Hght at Brandy Station on the lat inst.
wac participated In by Perry's Florida brigade,
which drove The Yankee cavalry in front of
.hem with loss to themselves fthilty Killed
and wounded. A correspondent Of the Peters
burg Erpre.s, writing from the l2!h Va. reg
ment, gives an ascoun. Of the share that resi
ment took in the fight lie says:
Tie exigency was so great that although j.
was not the turn Of our regiment to do the
skir n.ishing, we had to bs thrown In, being in
advance, and We scattered ourselves along the
edge of a thick, tangled wood, through Which
SO advanced AZ rapidly az The oba,rueiions per-
mitted. We soon emerged at the other side en-
the edge Of plai3, about 500 yards across, ON
the fsfther extremity Of which the Yankees
cavalry, q long line Of dismounted troops act
ing as infantry, and two pieces of artillery,
stood ready 70 give us welcome. Gen Stuart
rode up, and taking command Of the line OF
skirmtshers, comprising the 10Th Mississippi
ard tas 18th Virginia, gave the order to charge
the enemy. With a genuine Confederate
yell-a most diatinct thing, be it known to
you, from Yankee chser-the boys started
OH, two pieces OF Stuart's light artillery fol.
lowing "a.
Then began the most beautiful chase ever
witnessed. Whenever the crest Of hill gave
the 1anks advantage Of position, the gentry
would halt from their line aud pour ina fire
Of artillery and infantry until we go: too close
upon them, when they would climber up"
scatter incouiinently down the farther sope
TO renew the Same performance whenever gnd
wherever the confirmation Of The country
gave them 'the position" Laekily for Us,
we kept too closs upon them to allow them
much time for deliberate aimipg, aud their
shot, both from cannon aud small arms,
hsw very wide in tie main. Thua, up h.u
and down dale, for four nilss, wisho ut
one step backward, or one moments halt, ex.
cept to take breath or advantage Of the ground,
across the magnificent plain on which Jsb held
h'sgreat cavalry review last year, thrs ugh corn
fisiis aud boys, and athwart branches aud
fshces, the chaee was kept up till in the deep
sniag twilight we drove them from their last
stand at Brandy Station, frin9 Our last shot
on tho plantation Of ohm Minor Bouts, aua
sending the reprobs.ss flying at u speed which
detisd the efforts Of our infantry.
Altogether il was a most successful affair,
and Gen. Stuart, who remained with Us ali thu
time, was pleased TO express his appreciation
CT the Twelfth 10 very decided terms Call
ing passing officer, he asked what brigade
we belonged to, snd on being inf,Imed tha. it
was Maho ne's, desired the officer to express to
Gsh. n. his unqualified admiration of the
conduc: Of his men, and to tell hiu that he had
never been supported better IL his hfe."
Our Casualties you have already heard. The
worst is that Of poor Eidy Branch, who, hay
ing passed through every engagement Of the
o scrateil, fell in the beginning OF the ekrnish,
pierced through the right breast. shook his
hand as we moved by, expressing my hope
that ks wculd recover, Lus lie replied, "No,
