Rebel Reports of a Battle on Thursday-A
Fight on the Darbytown Road-Proba.
bility Of General Engagement.
The Richmond Examiner Of Friday, the 18th,
contains the following:
Fight on the Oar bytewn Dad.
About II o'clock yesterday reports were rife
in the city Of great battle having been opened
on the Darbytoyn Road. They said the enemy
had thrown a heavy force OF cavalry and in
fantry on the left OF our line. ano mat the
also stated that KautZs cavalry were attempt
ing to turn our left. Later in the day it was
announced on the streets that the enemy had
made three separate attacks on our left, and
been each time heavily repulsed with great
loss, our loss being light. For once there was
much truth in the street reports.
The enemy early yesterday morning made
an attack on our left centre, between Charles
city and Darbytown roads, but were repu1sed
Several times again they renewed the effort,
but each time with similar result Desul-
tory fighting was kept up durln g the day, until
4 o'clock yesterday evening, when the attack
was again renewed, this time more heavily
than ever; but again they were driven back
with great loss, and without having made the
slightest impression on our lines At g O'Clock
last evening the enemy had retired from the
field, and quiet once more reigned on the OAR
bytown road.
We must add that in military circles it is not
thought improbable that fighting may be re.
newed this morning, and that 1t may become q
general engagement. Indeed, this may be ex
not tell us when their canal is completed, aud
we shall know it by the commencement OF q
grand assault, that, we repeat, may be made at
break Of any day.
In these times decks must be clear for action
at all hours and on all DAYS. Before this month
is over The struggle will begin and end, but the
day Is unknown, and will remain unknown
till it comes Along all the rest Of our lines,
even unto Petersburg, everything was quiet
during yesterday. There is always more or
less skirmishing on our extreme right s,ong the
Vaughan road, south of Petersburg, but 1t has
now become so common as to be taken little
account OF. II amounts to nothing, but shows
the restless activity of the enemy in that quar-
ter.
Persons who arrived from Staunton last eve
ming brought a number of reports OF military
operations subseq uent to the affair above de.
scribed, but none Of them are entitled to credit.
Among other things they say that Rosser re.
newed the fight on Sunday and recovered his
loet guns This is all moonshine. The only
thing we hear with q moments attention, and
which we believe, is, that Immediately Oh the
repulse OF our cavalry at Fishers Hill. Gen.
Early ordered forward his whole force and
moved down the Valley.
The Richmond Enquirer Of Saturday, the
18th instant, says of Phil. Sheridan's famous
saying, that he had settled the new cavalry
oid eettle him."

The Copsi. .utionaI Election-Maryl land
Free State.

We believe we can assure our readers that
the New Constitution Is st last safe, beyond
all danger of rejection, and that they can re-
ioice over Maryland a Free State, finally
and forever redeemed from the curse ofslavery.
The table we give below will show the sum-
ming up OF the aggregate vote as far as re-
ceiyed. The official returns have reduced the
majorities against the Constitution in Prince
Georges, Somerset, Queen Anne's, Dorches-
soldiers vote, thrown almost unanimously in
favor of the Constitution, has steadily re-
duced the adverse majorities until we have
now a handsome balance on the right side,
sufioient to insure us against all possible con-
tngences. Returns ara yet TO be received from
several regiments and detached commands,
that will probably carry the majority in favor
OF The Constitution fully up to one thousand.

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC

! Reconnaissance in Force-The Enemy
Driven from their Works-A knowledge
OF their Position Gained.
Especial Correspondence of the PHILADELPHIA
Inquirer
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Oct IA force, comprising the first and third
divisions OF the 10th corps, and Gen. KautZ's
cavalry division, moved out yesterday to re-
connoiter the enemy's position in the Darby.
town road and beyond it. The two divisions
OF the 10th corps above mentioned started at
a. m, while the cavalry moved to the right of
them, and up the Charles city road.
The enemy's skirmishers were met about S1
a. m, and driven back to their intrenchments,
the position OF which on the Darbytown Road
was now discovered. These intrenchment ap-
the line that confronts further to the left, OF
which Fort Gilmer forms a part. 1t crosses
the Darbytown road at about six miles from
Richmond, but how far it was continued to the
right Of that road, and which direction it took
were among the points W hich 1t de evolved on the
reconnaissance to determine.
After lying for several hours in front Of the
enemy, feeling the ground and approaching as
near as practicable to the works, and in the
meantime keeping up brisk skirmish fire, at
about p. m. General Kautz reported the re.
suit Of his explorations on the Charles City
road. He had passed up it without serious
opposition to point further advanced than
that at which the rebel works were found on
the Darbytown road, and discovered no in
trenchments near that road, so reported.
Gen. Terry now pushed ont the LIST brigade
of the LIST division on the right, apparently past
Tic iclt VI lilo IcUei liucs duQ tu0Q oOV0nCeQ IL
forward 1t was found that the enemy's line
made an angle near its extreme left presenting
front towards the Charles City road signed
for the protection Of their left flank. From
this position Of their line they opened on the
left flank OF the brigade above mentioned as it
moved forward, subjecting it to very severe
fire. Our men continued to advance until or.
dereo to fall back, which order was given as
soon as it became apparent that our further
progress would meet with serious resistance.
Having pretty Thoroughly developed the posi-
ton of the enemys left, the strength and direc
ton of his works, and the character Of the
ground in front OF him, our forces towards
evening retired to the position from which they
had started in the morning
1t was ascertained that the enemy has
strong line ofintren chments, with two redou BITS;
one the extreme left of the line, and the other
commanding the Darlington road. In front is
an extensive tract of thick and intricate "slash-
Ing" and much Of the ground is covered with
a dense growth OF laurel, shrubs and scrubby
trees, as difficult to penetrate as the slashing
tim Der itself
Our loss in the 10th corps is stated at thirty
five killed, twenty -four missing, and two hun
bred and sixty.elght wounded. KautZ's loss in
skirmis hing on the Charles City road was prob
ably twenty-five or thirty in ALL
