Spirited Fight near Charlestown-Enemy
in Force in the Shenandoah


Correspondence of the Baltimore American
HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE MILITARY DvIs-
ION, August 30.-The position of our army
since my letter yesterday remains unchanged.
There was very spirited fight yesterday at
Smithfeld, or, as it is sometimes called, Mid
dleway; about seven miles from Charlestown,
which proved that the enemy had not vet re.
treated up the valley.
General Custar's brigade Of cavalry with
Capt. Hansons battery of artillery, were moved
across the Opequan about mile beyond
smithfield. for the purpose OF making recon-
noisance toward Bunker Hill. They had pro-
ceeded about mile when they came on the
enemys skirmish line a portion Of General
Custar's command were dismounted and cent
in to engage them. The sKirmish lasted until
eleven O'Clock, when Custar was obliged to re-
tire across the Opequan, where he was rein
forced by DeCesnola's and Gibbs brigades OF
cavalry, when skirmishing was renewed with
increased vigor.
The enemy now sent two brigades of infantry
across the Opequan, with view of outfank-
field In this they were foiled. Gen. Merritt,
discovering their intention, retired on Smith.
field before they could accomplish their de-
signs. Heavy skirmishing was kept up all the
Time we were retreating, and we inflicted con !.
siderable loss on the enemy, as our men took
advantage Of every commanding position, and
vancing line.
In the meantime, Gen. Sheridan had ordered
Ricketts division OF infantry, of the 9th cor :,
to proc ed toward Smithfield and suppo. :. Gsy
cavalry. The infantry reached poi- :, ~ line .ne
two miles this side of Smithfield at ~ aHoat
m, when they formed a junction -.ith th J,oea p
airy, who had gradually faI an hant tre 10 CAV
place, contesting every incl Of ground. The
sive. Gen; Ricketts, r-eployed one brigade rig Ieo Of
his command as So t..rmishers, and sent them in II,
dtso du anee v, 'n cavalry. As soon as the enemy
T,sSorer thsU they had infantry to contend with,
'nsy -dpidly withdrew.
SIX o'CLoCK.-Our forces pushed them very
closely, and captured some prisoners Our
loss In the whole affair, including killed and
wounded, will not exceed one hundred, whilst
that Of the enemy must have been much great
er, as we had the advantage of position.
Among the killed was DIR. Rulison, medical
director on the staff of Gen. Torbert. He was
riding along the skirmish line in company with
Gen Torbert and Capt. Bailey, when he was
shot by one OF the enemy's sharpshooters, who
was some moments previously discovered by
Capt. Bailey to be paying particular attention
to the General and staff
The reconnaissance yesterday has developed
the fact beyond a doubt that the enemy still
have heavy force in our front, and it is be-
lieved that they are concentrating at Bunker
Hill. Clouds of dust were distinctly seen yes
terday, arising from the road between Bunker
Hill and Winchester, supposed to be the en-
emy's wagon train going up the valley.
