NEW YoRK, June 12.-The Herald's cor
respondent details Hunters movements at
length. After leaving Cedar creek, the
rebel Moseby attempted to intercept COM
munication with the rear. They were par
tally successful, having destroyed some
bridges, burned a train with stores, and
capturing few men.
On occupying Woodstock the inhabit-
ants appeared friendly. In passing through
Mount jackson, not a few women waved
their hsndkerchiefs behind partly closed
blinds, and appeared pleased to see us.
On approaching New Market, the scene
Of Gen. Sigels encounter with Breokin-
ridge, we moved cautiously, but met no
opposing force.
On the march to Harrisonburg we had
slight skirmish, but occupied the place
without opposition. Here the command
was divided into two columns, one taking
the direct road TO Stauuton, the other
bearing towards Port Republic. About
the same time the left column was demon
strating against the rebels at Port Republic
The column in the direction of Mount
Crawford got into an engagement at North
river. To aid the rebels militia forces
were brought down from Stauutou. They
attempted to turn our left, but failed and
were pushed back In a manner that threat
ened to cut them of from Stanton. This
forced their right wing, under Jones, to
give way and retreat rapidly. Many pris-
oners fell into our hands, including a large
number Of deserters. Our two columns
were then united aud ready to contiuue
the advance. At the same time that Hun
ter left Cedar Greek, Crook and A7erill
moved from LeWisburg to join Hunter.

ly in the morning, udder a heavy rain, in
the direction of Lake Checot. About nine
O'Clock his advance met two regiments of
the enemy strongly posted upon the oppo-
site bank of the bayou emptying into the
lake, and opened FIRE on them from two
guns, when they fell back to q second posi-
lion on the bayou, leaving an open field
between the two lines. Our FIRE was re-
sponded to by the enemy with battery of
six guns, aud an artillery duel of some
minutes eRsued. Our forces soon desisted
from the use of their guns aud advanced
under heavy FIRE upon the enemy's lines,
driving them from their position. The
enemy retreated in a westerly direction,
leaving The lake in their rear, rendering it
imPracticable to pursue, and our forces
