DEFBATED. —_—_—— FOUR HUNDRED The following particulars are obtained from parties irom the front. On Saturday the rebel General Stuart crossed. Robertson’s river and captured mearly the whole ot the 100th New York, who were doing a charge and recaptured most of the prisoners. Soon after A. P. Hill's corps passed our right flank, and we fell back to James City and held the rebels in check with artillery. OnSunday morning our whole reconnoitering force commenced falling back towards Culpep- er, our rear being covered by artillery. Gen. Bu- than Kilpatrick, who brought up the rear, 80 that the latier was cut off by Siuart getting in his front and on bis right and left flanks. A gallantly drove the enemy into a thicket of woods, trom which they however recharged in larger numbers, and our cavalry then made & grind charge in theiriront and flanks, cuiting their way through and joincd Buiord. Our artillery was brought into play during the day in covering our rear, and with terrible effect. In one instance the rebels charged upon one battery, (M, 2d artillery,) when the can- noneers mounted their horses, repulsed the charge, and returned to their guns, and gave the retreating rebs canister, killing and wound- ing many of them. In this combat our cavalry performed the un- precedented teat of making successful charges simultaneously in three directions. General Kilpatrick led the charges with teekliss gallantry, cutting his way through several platoons of infantry drawn up in the youd, in the midst of a fire from artillery on each flank. On Saturday our lo3s was bat slight, but yes- terday. in killed, wounded and missing, Gen. Kilpatrick lost about 150 men. Capt. Dodge, Acting Major 5th Michigan, was killed; Uapt. Oliphant, of the same regiment, was wounded; Capt. Hastings, of the same regiment, is miss- ing 9nd supposed a prisoner; Capt. @. M. Dat- cher, aid to Gen. Kilpatrick, was slightly wounded; Maj. Pauldi, of Ist Michigan, and Lieut. Col. Sawyer, of 1st Vermoni, are also slightly wounded. Yesterday, about 400 prisoners, mostly of General Fitz Lee’s division, were brought into headquarters. At five o’clock yesterday there was consider- able skirmishing going on between the opposing cavalry and artillery, but it was thought that the enemy would fall back during the night. About 2 o'clock to-day atrain came down | the cul de’ sac there madeby the enemy’s forma- from Rappabannoek station, bringing about thirty-two wounded, mostly of the 5th Michi- gab cuvemy. The reports afloat that Meade was compelled to destroy a large amount of commissary stores on Saturday, to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy, are untrue. Soldiers, when about to leave a camping-ground, will invariably make 4 bonfire of all the camp rubbish; and thus it was that on Saturday night the camping ground of the army to be vacated presented numerous fires, giving the idea of a pretty extensive confla- gration; but, as already stated, very little of value was destroyed; and fitty bales of hay will doubtless cover the extent of our loszes, ‘The idea held out by sensation reports afloat in town to the effect that Meade is retreating precipitately to Washington under pressuré from Eee following with an immense army is absurdly erroneous, as those know who are aware how deliberately Meade is changing his front to guard against any possible sur- prise from Lee should he attempt a flank movement. Late reports from Richmond show tat the idea is entertained there that Meade’s army has been depleted to the extent of Sour army corps, for the reinforcement of Rosecrans; and it may be that Lee is maneuvering to ascertain if.our army is really as weak as reported. , Ifheis acting upon any supposition of the sort, he may encounter 4 disagreeable surprise, and find that the army of the Potomac is quite as effective as when it staggered him at Gettys- burg. ‘The supposition is that Lee designed moving 8 force through Thoroughfare Gap, and romor has it that the enemy has already appeared there, but in this case ramor must be consid- erably ahead of the fact, and in any event Meade has the shortest line of march to Ma- nassas, and can readily post himself so as to contront Lee wherever he may make his ap- pearance, if indeed the latter is not already taking the back track, finding his plans de- teated. The followings the substance of information brought here by correspondents of the North- ern press; of Gen. Meade*s army has fallen back to this side of the Rappahannock, followed by Lee’: army, which 1s in great force about half a mile from the southern bank of that river. - Phe enemy made a feint of moving up the valley on the southern bank of the Robertson river, and our cavalry under Boford crossed at Germania Ford and took possession of the earthworks abandoned by them. When our force was all across the enemy came against Buford im great force, drove him across the fiver, without time to destroy. the crossing, and pursued him to Rappahannock Station. Kilpatrick, with a force of cavalry and ar- tillery, which bad made @ reconnolssance near Madison Court House, was cut off yesterday afterrioon on the road to Culpeper by a portion of Ewell’s corps, which were formed across the only road by which he could retreat in twelve ranks, with tworegiments oneach flank. Kil- patrick was compelled to charge directly into tion. He led the charge in person, telling his they must do or die. Xba covyalsy cat their way through under a concen’ fire such a9 has hardly been ex- | esced’ by our troops during the war, and, “i his rear with eorarrek retired through Culpeper.
