The rebels then opened upon them with
musketry from the right of the ford where
they had been concealed in another piece Of

ring the night after the firing had ceased

WAsHTKerON, Feb s.
The following is believed to be about as
correct version of news from the Potomac
Army as can as yet be obtained:
A portion of the army recently engaged in
demonstration in front Of the enemy on the
South side of the Rapadan, returned to their
late quarters between the Rapidan and Rap
Pahuunoek, on Saturday Iast, after having
accomplished what was believed to be the
design Of the movsment-viz Ascertain
that the enemy still remains in his usual
force and position in front Of Orange Court
House, BE has occupied this position for
some time past and there has been some res-
sons to believe that he had retired but the
fact is otherwise.
In the esurrv of tho movement Gen. Hays
Division of our forces become engaged with
the enemy in overwhelming numbers and in
strongly fortified position in the vicinity of
Monitors Ford.
General Hays ordered their works to be
carried by storm, which was found impos-
sible without too great loss. The condi-
tiOn Of roads would not admit of pushing
to Legitimate results any advantage which
heavy sacrifice Of men might secure, he
accordingly withdrew from the attacking
force with the loss on our part Of between
two and three hundred men wounded and
missing. The loss on part Of the enemy in
this engagement is not known ct Culpep-
per. At g A. N, to-day considerable
portion of our army, all of which had re.
crossed the to this side of the Rapidsn and
were in line Of battle last night, owing to
a report that Lee has crossed or wss eros
sing The river in force, which reports
turn out to have been untrue. We lost no
pOntoonH, IS rumor had it this morning.
Later intelligence from the front states
that Gen. Merritt went ss far as Orange
Court House, but found only incoRsider-
able bodies Of the enemy. Information
was obtained to the effect that the rebels
were rs-planking the road from Chancel-
orville to Orange Court House and cutting
a new road through the wilderness.
The Sd Army Corps crossed at RaeoOon
Ford but found the enemy mostly driven
away by Warren's demonstration.
In the skirmishing that FOLLOWED nnr
losses were 250 killed and wounded, while
one hundred rebel prisoners were taken.
Onr forces recrOssed the Rspidan at mid
night
A reconnaissance developed the enemy in
strength in the direction of, and beyond
Orange Court House and also in the direc-
ton Of GordonsTille.
Gen. Fitzpatrick secured the country to-
wards fredericksburg without finding any
infsntry and but few rebel cavalry.
The whole army is again on this side of
the Rapidan.
