been the day before . Yankees signal sta
Iion- The possession of the mountain
enabled as 70 watch the movements Of the
enemy, whilst ours were still concealed
from them. About 3 O'Clock in the eve
ming Stuart came mp with the euemy's
cavalry near James City, point about ten
miles above Culpepper Court House, and

junction with Fitzpatrick. who was just then
retiring before Stuart, who had pressed him
down the SperryTille pike, and on by the
GOardyine Church road. Here the enemy
made stubborn resistance, bringing their
infantry into action, but it was no go
"forTard" was the word with us, and
backward" for the enemy. Just before
night they gave back, and crossed the Rap
pahannock River. In this fight we cap
tured some three hundred prisoners aud
some 6fty Of their wounded also fell into
our hands. Our loss in the whole engage
meat is about seventy i've in killed and
wounded. Thus far, you viii sec that our
infantry have not been brought into play.
Our motto, however, is still onward, and,
If there is suy 6gbt in the enemy, we will
give them crushing defeat before the
week closes.
0ur troops took possession of this place
about o'clock yesterday. The last Of the
enemy's infantry retired through here about
l O'Clock. Our movement, am told by
citizens, was not discovered by the enemy
until about II o'clock on Saturday, from
which time until about the same hour on
SRnday-at which time their last train oil
cars left here-they worked like beavers,
and succeeded in getting of nearly all their
stores, though hear We captured few
from them.
