Yesterday we briefly stated the fact thata severe cavalry engagement was in progress on the Upper Rappahannock as our paper was going to press. We have been ableto ascertain the following additional particulars of the | pattie: 7 It was known at Hooker’s headquarters that Gen. Lee had assembled his cAyalry, supported by artillery and infantry, between Culpeper Court-House and Beverly's Ford, designing | soon to send them upon a raid in this direction, and Gen. Pleasanton was sent with portions | of the divisions of our cavalry commanded by Gens. Buford and Gregg respectively; te spoil thelr sport. The force under Buford (portions of the ist, 2d, 5th and 6th regular cavalry, and the 6th Pennsylvania cavalry) reached Beverly’s Ford eurly on Monday evening, and crossed | the river unopposed shortly after midnight. The force under Gen. Gregg (portions of the Sth and 9th New York, Sth Illinois, and 3d In- diana cayalry) reached the ford at midnight, and commenced to cross at 4a.m. Buford’s force, which was on the right, first met the enemy’s pickets halt a mile south of the ford; when & severe engagement immediately com- menced, the rebels being in heavy force and resisting the advance of our troops with con- tinuous band-to-hand fighting. When Gregg i brought his force up to the fight and became engaged, the enemy gradually gave way, dis- puting every inch of the ground desperately, however. Pe In this way our men made more than a dozen charges into the midst of the rebel ranks, re- lying almost entirely upon the sabre, which {| they used with terrible effect. The enemy, on the other hand, repeatedly charged also, rely- | ing on their revolvers for the most part, how- | ever. Both sides were repeatedly driven back in the course of the battle: though we succeeded in driving the zebels—Fitzhugh Lee’s and ; Wade Hampton's divisions of cavalry, with | artillery, all commanded by Major General J. H E. B. Stuart—back tora point about five miles southwest of where their pickets were first ens | countered, where Pleasanton found the enemy se heavily remforced with infantry and artil- lery ag to make it prudent to return to this side of the river. This—the return—was cemmenced at about four p. m., General Pleasanton bringing off ; about 200 prisoners, his own wounded, and the | | bodies of his officers who had been killed in the | engegement. | ‘The 6th Pennsylvania cavalry, which was | in the advance, under Buford, lost heavily, ing. Indeed, Buford’s whole force was much ; hear of Captain Davis, killed by a shell; Major Robert Morris, missing; Lieut. Lennig, missingi | | Lieut. R.

A, killed, and Lieut. Reeves, Co. C, and Lieut. Epler, Co.

The number of wounded could not have been more than 200 or 400, we apprehend, as ,; they were sent down here last night on eleven cars, together with the bodies of our officers sharpshooters still commanded the rebel works | in the rear, and the Confederates sre not al- killed.

They were tried, condemned to be hung, and the sentence was carried-into execution before ten e'clock this morning. On being discovered, they confessed that they were officers in the Confederate army. One ‘was a Colonel, named Lawrencé W. Orton, tormerly W. Orton Williams. One claims to be a first cousin of Robert E. Lee, and is said to have been chief of artillery on Gen. Bragg’s staff, and 1ormerly to bave been on Gen. Scott's staff, of the 2d Regular Cavalry. Port Hudson. {From the New York Tribune.} From a gentleman fally conversint with af- airs at Port Hudson and in the Department of the Guit who arrived here last night, from New Orleans, we learn some interesting facts of the situation of Gen. Banks’ army and its ‘prospects. Our informant left Port Hudson late in the evening of Sunday, the ist ultimo, There had been no fighting of consequence ; aince the assault of the 27th; but Gen Banks | had been industriously and rapidly contracting | his lines, and approaching the Rebel works. ‘The wings of our army rested on or very near the river. both ate ve and below, and there was no possibility of :einforcements reaching the beleagured garrison. Gen. Banks had made up his mind to take the place, and he had the men and means todoit. The contest on the 27th was very desperate‘and very bloody, the Rebels fighting with the most reckless courage, and our men being not a whit behind in daring and pluck. . Our informant corroborates the good ac- counts heretofore given of the conduct of the colored soldiers: These sable warriors pro- yoked the most frenzied hatred on the other side, and the rebels bent all their energies to their annihilation. And since the fight they have missed no chance to kill negro pickets. | An one instance they pounced upona single | black sentry, captured and forthwith hung him. The bloody instruction was quickly im- proved, for almost within the hour some ne- groes got hold of a rebel picketand swung him up in fail sight of ae reread companion, All the stories about Kirby Smith coming to the relief of Port Hudson are probably erro- neous. Smith isnodoubtin Texas somewhere, or possibly in Western Louisiana; certainly nowhere near Port Hudson, nor coald he get across if he were opposite. Colonel Grierson is «slashing round,” as the Hoosiers say, and was at last accounts up be- tween Port Hudson and Vicksburg, tearing up railroads, destroying bridges, hunting tor Gon. federate stores, and “canvassing the State” gens | erally. It was understood that Joe Johnston | was at Jackson on the 27th, but bad no force worth bringing asainst Grant. We regret to learn that General She man, wounded at Port Hudson, is hardly cxpected to live. The weather is terribly hot, and the place very dry and dusty. ‘HE LADIES OF WESLEY CHAPEL M, Church, corner 5th and F streets, will rawberty and Floral Sociable in the lecture the Church, for five nights, commencing Monday, June 8th, and clore Friday, 12th Tickets 15 cen bildren 10 cents; season, 8 ete, §.-3-5t* CHRIST CHURCH SUNDAY sCHOOL— | A Strawberry Festival will be opened on | MONDAY EVSNING, June sth, 1533, at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, avy Yard.

Montgomery's Colored Troops, THEIR NUMBERS LARGELY REINFORCED. {Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.) HILTow Hzab, S. C., June 1.—One of the most brilliant raide since the Department of the South was created, has just been success- fully made by Vel. Montgomery, of the 24 South Carolina. Upon information obtained from negroes who came in from the main land last week, General Hunter came to the conclusion that he conld fill one of his negro regiments without going to Florida, and that the rice swamps, bat a few miles from Beautort, would give him the required number. Although about te start upon auother expe- dition of more spparent importance, Colonel Montgomery was or: ered to embark two han- dred picked men from his regiment, and with the Harriet A. Weed, John Adams and the Sen- tinel, proceed up Coosaw river, effect a lant. ing, and penetrate the main land at least twen- ty-tive miles. How ably Col. Montgomery executed the task assigned to him the crowded decka of the above named vessels and the old Baptist Church in Beaufort, filled with stont negroes, fully testify. One thousand valuable negro enattels, several hundred tags of hominy, a ne lot of blood horses, and any amount of. | household furniture, are the trophies he returns with.

Frex.—About 8 o'clock this morning flames were discovered issuing from the carpenter shop of Mr. Samuel Wise, on E street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth, and an alarm was at oncegiven. Mr. Wise. and his workmen were at work in the two story frame building next to the shop, and hastened in to save his tools and work, but they were not successfal, the fire having gaired such headway as to render it impossivle to get anything trom the building. Mr. Wise was badiy burnt across the shoul- ders, and Mr. . King, who went to his as- sistance, had his arms slightly burnt. Mr. Wise end the workmen lost all their tools and some of them their coats. A quantity of work im the shop was also destioyed. The flames caught to the unfinished two-story frame building next west of the shop, which Mr. Wise was building tor Mr. Patrick Brennan, and one side of it was burnt, and evme of it knocked to pieces. The three-story brick, owned by Susan Weeden, and occupied by BeNl Crier, adjoining the shop, also caught, the fire catching near the roof. The inmates in this house hastened out, many of them in their night clothes,and most of the furniture was gotout, and considering the haste in which it ‘was removed, it was not much injured. Por- tions of the roof of this building were burnt, and the walls were damaged by water. The house owned by Jane Lawson, back of the last named, in the alley, was slightly burnt and damaged by water. The canse of the fire is unaccountable, as there-had not been a fire there for some days. paiva ever meer) ARREST OF SUPPOSED THIEVES AND PICK- POCKETS.—Lieut. Henry French, of Scott’s 90) mounted patrol, having received reliable in- formation that anumber of supposed thieves and pickpockets were boarding at the house of Mrs. Snyder, on C Street, near Eleventh, this morning took a squad of men and proceeded to the eS designated, and haying hastily en- tered the house, found ‘five young: fellows | gambling. Lieut. F. at once recognized two of them as parties who had been arrested hereto- fore and drummed out of the city, and there- fore took all in charge; but one of them man- aged to make his escape. When taking them out of the house, a man, who appeared to be a triend of the parties arrested, endeavored to create an excitement, and thereby cause the re- lease of his friends. Threats of violeace were made against the party who had given Lieut. | French the information that led to the arrest, The explosion at Fort Lyon yesterday after- | but the latter speedily quegled the disturbance by using his saber and arresting the ringleader. The whole party were then marched to the Provost Marshal's office, where they gave the names of Charles Anderson, Albert White, John A. Brome, and Charles Wright. The man who was arrested outside refused to give his name, and he was promised a bath at the central guardho whither the whole party Were taken. Chayes Anderson and John A. Brome were rec at the Provost Mar- shal’s office as thieves who were treated toa march through the city some time ago, and started North; Anderson being the one of whom, at the time, remark was made in the Star, that he seemed very penitent, and. pro- fusely shed tears. He wiil bly have an opportunity of again weeping to the tune of the « Rogue's March,” for it is unders‘ood that the whole party will be labeled and given a tree passage North in a few days. eee Capture or Fugitive SLaves.—This morn. ing, about half-past eleven, Mr. Saml. Ura’ tord, of Prince {#eorge’s county, Md., with his agents, arrested six negroes, who he claimed as his slayes and fugitives from labor. They were taken directly to the office of Commissioner Coxe, where, as we go to press, they areawait- ing the order for their return to their master. A large crowd of white and black men col lected in the street near to the office, but mad no demonstration. The police fearing a dis- turbance ordered the crowd to disperse, which order was quietly obeyed by all except a col- oted individual, who used some harsh, appro- brious language to the officers, and was imme- diately arrested. ee LATEST QUOTATIONS—W ASHINGTON Mon- BY Magker.—F| by Lewis Johnson & Selling. 10834 107 rs.
