Ae ‘The editor of the Star returned to Washington city this morning at two a. m_, from a brief visit to his home !n Culpzper county, Va., the first In seventeen months. It was his fortunes to be on the battle-field near Slaughter’s mountein, seven miles southwest of Culpeper Court House, during the latter portion of the terrific engagement that took place there on the afternoon of the day before yesterday—Satur- day last, and again on Sunday—yesterday—from an eerly hour in the morning until the afternoon. On Friday morning last General Pope, staffand escort reached Culpeper Court House from his last encampment, near Washington. the county seat of Rappahannock, having put the corps d@’armee of General Banks, encamped there, in motion in the direction of Culpeper, and passing the encampment of General Sigel, at Sperryville, twenty miles from Culpeper Court House, by the way. At Culpeper Court House General ij’ope found Brigndier General Crawford, with his brigade of Banks’ corps d’armee (previously Hatch’s) and General Bayard’s brigade of McDowell’s cavalry —the extreme advance of his Army of Virginia; also Brigadier General Rickets’ division of Ma Jor General McDowell’s corps d’armee, that had arrived two days before from Waterloo and War- reaton—McDowell himself being present and in command of all the forces then there Atnooa on Friday, Gonerals Pope and McDow ell received intelligence from the gallant Bayard (who with the two regiments of hts cavalry com- mand doing duty immediately under him, a New Jersey and a Pennsylvania regiment, had been in the saddle night and day guarding the Rapidan, fora week, from Reccoon ford down toa point fourteen miles below and south of the railroad,) that the enemy at daybreak had crossed the river with two regiments of Louisiana infantry, two Pieces of light artillery. and three small regi- ments of cavalry, and driven in his pickets Bayard retired slowly before them—his force of eight hundred tred-out cavalry only, not being sufictent to hold the ground in front of sucha force. He, however, disputed it inch by inch with the enemy, and succeeded in capturing about thirty rebsl prisoners—including a mejor, captain and two lieutenants—on his retreat. His own loss was not over three men. We hear that he was publicly complimented day —Saturday—for the admirable manner fn which he effected his movement. He retired to the north and east side of Robinson river, about eight miles from Culpeper Court House, and there awaited a supporting force to arrive from the immediate vicinity of that point. At noon of the same day, General Pope, on learning these facts, instantly ordered General Crawford to march his brigade to thatend. in half an hour after receiving this order Crawford was on the march. As his brigade—the 2%th New York, lUth Maine, 46th Penasyivania, and Sth Connecticut and ten pieces of artillery—filed Tapidly through the village of Culpeper Coury House to the gay music of its four splendid bands, its appearance was the theme of admira- tlon of the many experienced officers of the staffs of Generals Pope and McDowell, who went over from their encampments, near by, to see it start out. They one and all declared that they never saw troops with more reliable ‘‘ fight” in them, and predicted that, should they engage the enemy, they would win a name to endure as long as the history of the war itself. The result proved the correctness of their judy ment. Crawford proceeded rapidly to the front, and occupied a position about seven miles from Cul- peper Court House, immediately In rear of the line of Bayard’s Cavalry. Shortly after ordering Crawford, Gen. Pope also ordered the rest of Banks’ corps to move rapidly from Hazel river bridge, near Griffins. burg, (nine miles from Culpeper C. H.,) where tt had arrived the night before, to the sceae of expected confilct. ByS p.m, the head of B.'s column was descried marching around the vil. lnge to its destination, which it renched before midnight. That point was immediately tn the rear of Crawford. Major Gea. #igel was also at the same time ordered up from Sperryville, and by a forced march of twenty miles his advance reached the village by daylight. Throughout Friday night and Saturday fore- noon Bayard continued skirmishing with the enemy’s advance, until the latter, at 2 p.m , bud progressed to within long range of Crawford’s artillery. At4 p.m the enemy developed a heavy increase of artillery; when a portion of that of General Banks came up and weut into the action, there not being room enough in the posl- tlon occupied by our forces for bringing the whole of it into play. The contending forces at the opening of the battle were apparently about a mile and more apart, the rebels showing their front upon Slaugb- ter’s Mountain, a sugar-loaf eminence, situated two miles to the west of the Orange and Alexan- dria railroad at Mitchell’s Station. Our front was on 1nuch lower ground, with Cedar Kun in our rear, and a small wooded ridge bebind that. Gradually from four to six p. m. the rebels new batteries from the woods surround- ‘ng the basia or plain laying between the fronts of the two contending forces, each succeeding one being nearer to our position than the former. Thus they played a crows fire from both sides, as well as a direct front one upon our troops, inclu- @ing the most of Gen. Banks’ infantry that had been in Mne for the coniilet. So annoying was this fire that attempts were made to take the batteries nearest at hand by charges. Thus Bay- ard’s cavalry, ia a gallant charge, teaid to have succeeded in taking two of the rebel guns with no loss to speak of. Subsequently, at 6 p. m., in pursuance of or- ders, portions of Augur’s and Wiliiems’ divis- fons of infantry (including Crawford’s and @or- the fact that thé enemy ectually en- greatly outnumbered our forces (about 7,000) in action.
