The Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry and two
sections Of the Seventh Massachusetts battery
attacked the enemy's intrenchments opposite

on the fortincatIons. These were found to be
literally lined with infantry, who poured q
deadly fire into our ranks, wounding many.
The enemy opposed heavy force Of infantry

out success. The fight was not yet ended. The

HRADoUARrRRs ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
March 1s.-A most brilliant cavalry fight oc-
CURED yesterday, beyond Kelly's Ford. A re-
connolssance under command Of Gen. Averill
forced passage over the river in the face of a
considerable body Of rebel sharpshooterS, who
were covered by houses, rine-pitS, and dry
mill-race, with an abattls in front.
The ford admitted but a single hSrSeman st
time, and the stream was swollen and rapid.
Arriving on the south side Of the river our
cavalry charged the rebels in their intrench-
mcnts, killing and capturing nearly tho entire
force, besides securing q large number of hor-
ses picketed near by, a short distance from the
shore.
Gen. Averil's command encountered the
rebel cavalry under Gems. Stuart and Fltzhugh
Lee, who had hastened from Culpepper to pre-.
vent our passage. They made some dashing
charges on our troops, who repulsed and in
turn charged them with fatal effect, using sa.
bres only In the conflict.
Whenever the enemy made a stand they were
Immediately charged upon and routed from
their positions with great loss. The battle
lasted five hours, and was a series Of charges
and hand to hand conflicts, resulting in the
enemy's falling back. The force was about
two thousand on each side. The enemy al
last took refuge behind an intrenched battery
four miles from the ford, fanked by riae-pits
and abattis.
General Ayerlll having accomplished his OBJ
jcct, and secured his prisoners, the wounded
on both sides, and large number of horses
he recrossed the river without attack or demon
stration on the part of the rebels, who were &C
badly whipped they could not follow to annoy
him. Among the prisoners is Major Breckin
ridge, cousin Of the traitor John e. Breckln
ridge. The prisoners characterize the affair on
our part as one of the ablest and most gallant.
ly fought cavalry raids of the whole war, and
admit that their own troops wero totally de,
morallzed by the gallant saber charge of our
cavalry.
About eighty prisoners have been brought in.
The wounded of the enemy bear sufficient
marks that the sab0r was the only weapon used
on our side.
[Gen. Averll, who commanded the cavalry
in this affair, has never failed to distinguish
himself when an opportunity was presented
He was appointed from the regular service tC
the command of the Kentucky Cavalry" I
regiment raised in Pennsylvania, and his ser
vices upon tie Peninsula were so merltorloul
that he was promoted TO the rank of brigadel
general.
While Gen. Burnside was In command on
the RappahInnock, Gen. Averill planned @
raid around I.oe's army, which was counter
manded through the influence Of subordinat,
officers, brought to bear at Washington. W,
doubt not that he would have been successful
for he plans with a cool head and executei
with daring and energy.l

The Rebels Invite General Grant 20 n
ball In VIcksbuFg.


The correspondent OF the New York Epeuing
Post, writing from in front of Ycksburg,
March 9th, says;
"Thcy [the rebels have seut no less than
five aags Of truce within as many days, and
under as many different preteXts, hut the real
object of which was 10 spy out what we are
about. In all these attempts, however, they
have been foiled, as none Of their flags have
been allowed to get near enough TO discover
anything
"We learn that the officers who attended their
last dag of truce said If Gen. Grant would ac-
cept their invitation they would get up a ball
in Nicksburg and would be glad to have Gen
Grant, and any number of his officers who
might feel inclined, come down to the city un.
der nag Of trnce, have dance, and enjoy
themselves generally until daylight. The OIL
GERS who made this singular proposal pledged
themselves for the safe return to our camp of
all officers who might accept their invitation.

miugle with people in the ballroom At night
and hurl bOmbshells at them next day"
