Tar. CAvAIRY FIeAT on TuEsDAY LAST.
From a wounded olIIcer Of the 9th n. G.
regiment Of cavalry, who came down on
the Central train last night, we have
some further particulars Of the fight in
Madison county on Tuesday. In the
morning our cavalry, consisting Of Hamp-
toms, Jones's, and Robertson's old bri-
gades, were stationed on the Rapidan
river, near Liberty Mills. They learned
that the enemy were approaching in
force on the turnpike road leading from
Madison Court House to the Mills, and
preparations were at once made to meet
them. Our forces were drawn up in
line Of battle and charge ordered by
Gen. Stuart, who commanded in person.
Comparatively little resistance was made
to this charge, the enemy giving away at
the first onset. Our troops pushed them
for about a quarter Of mile, when they
found themselves in front of a line OF
sharpshooters, who opened fire upon
them. Our front lines were then dis
mounted, to engage the enemy on foot.
A sharp fight ensued, lasting over an
hour, in which the loss on both sides was
considerable.
In the meantime, column Of the
enemy which had advanced on another
road running parallel with the turnpike,
came in on the rear of our men, and
made charge upon them. In this
situation of affairs, our::columns were
wheeled, and charge made on the party
attacking in the rear, which resulted in
dispensing them, and the capture of
about one hundred prisoners.
Our troops then fell back to the
Rapidan and crossed that stream, and
proceeded some miles up the south bank
Of the river, where force of the enemy
had crossed at an upper ford. Here
another engagement ensued, resulting i'll
the enemy being driven back over the
river.
On Wednesday our cavalry crossed
the Rapidan into Madison county, and
drove the enemy across Robertson's river,
capturing. it is reported, number Of
prisoners and several wagons.
Our loss in killed and severely wound
ed in the fight of Tuesday is estimated
at about one hundred. In addition We
had number slightly wounded and a
few captured. Nothing is known Of the
loss of the enemy.
Passengers who left Hamilton's Cross
ing yesterday morning report that heavy
firing was heard in the direction of Rae
coon Ford, on the Rappahannock.

The EEGIsLATURE.-In the Senate yes
terday bill was reported from the Com
mittee for Courts of Justice, authorizing
the transfer of causes from Courts which
cannot be held by reason of the presence
OK proximity of the public enemy to
other Circuit Courts not so situated.
Mr. Brannon offered resolution in
guiring into the expediency of reporting
a bill fixing the prices OF articles ofprime
necessity and consumption by a sliding
scale downward tariff, commencing with

charged with fixing prices last preceding
the present time, as far as practicable,
for each succeeding month, for less rate
until the same shall be reduced to certain
minimum prices, and, as cooperative
measure, that said committee shall in
qulre into the expediency of preparing
and reporting resolutions recommending
to Congress the propriety of passing a
law for funding the Treasury notes of the
Confederate States at rate of interest
upon downward scale, and to impose "a
tax upon such money upon an ascending
scale, increasing as such notes become
older; and to prohibit all importations ex-
cept for arms and supplies for the army !;
and to prohibit the expectation of gold
and silver, cotton, tobacco, and naval
stores.
The militia bill YVES then taken up, and
occupied the remainder Of the days ses-
sion.
In the House, Mr.. Anderson, from the
Military Committee, asked that said COM
mittee be discharged from the further
consideration of the resolution for the re-
mOvalof slaves from counties threatened
by the enemy.
The memorial of the working men and
mechanics Of Richmond was referred to Il
select committee.
On motion of Mr.. Buford the bill fixing
the fees and charges for the storage OF
tobacco was laid upon the table.
Mr.. McCue offered joint resolution
for the protection and increase Of sheep,
and the encouragement of the growth OF
wool. Referred to the Committee on
Agriculture.
Mr.. Buford offered resolution for Sc
curing the cooperation Of capitalists in
| reducing the currency. Agreed to.
The order of the day, the bill to reor.
