WF The Cincinnati Enquirer (Copperhead), the day after the election in Ohio, said-—«“ We generally have, the morning after an election, given tables of returns showing gains and losses. We deciine this morning to follow the custom.” THE REBEL ATTACK AT CHARLES- T YN, VA. The Baltimore Americen of to-day has the following in relation to this affair: It is stated that about dayligut a Rebel cay- alry force, estimated at eighteen hundred men, | fashion, by wading, at Cave's Ford, and pro- and supposed to be under the command of General Imboden, made an atiack upon the Federal forces stationed at Charlestown. ‘Tbe engagement, which is reported to have | Court House, which time Gens. Anderson and Heth moved their divisions from the vicinity of Peyton's Ford and Rapidan bridge, where they had neamped tor some time past, up to and beyond Orange Court House, on the road lead- : ing to Cave's Ford, and within two miles of that point, where they encamped for ihe night, and set to work in cooking rations for three Gays. The trausprrtation was in excellent or- der Aud the men were in the finest kind of spirits. The only drawback to the general fine a| pearance of the army was the fact that a num- ber of men in each of these divisions were Laretocted. Thursday evening everything was ssuT, and everybody was in conjecture as to what wason foot. At an early hour, Gens. Hill and Ewell went to Gen. Lée’s headquar- ters and hed a prolonged interview. On F: day morning, atan early hour, Wilcox’s Bri- | gace, which bad, up to this time, been lying | still in their camps, near Barneit’s Fork, took up the line of march, forming the rear of A. P.

Saliivaa then dis- pztched the artillery and cavalry in rapid pur- =uit, and about noon pretty brisk artillery firing—trom bvth sides, although the rebels used no artillery in the morning fight—was heard between Charlestown and Berryville, which points are ten milesdistant. Laterinthe day it was reported that the Rebels had beon @riven back some two and a half miles, bat from what point was not indicated. Neither ‘was it stated whether any of the prisoners re- Ee to have Leen captured in the morning ad beer retaken, though hopes were enter- tained that such would be the case. The 9th Maryland regiment was principally Tecrwiied in this city for six months’ service, and is principally composed of young men. The uppearance of this force of rebels at | Charlestown gave rise to reports that they | were :hreatening various points between Wash- apgton and Hancock, but scouts sent out from Cumberland, Sir John’s Run, Martinsbarg, Monocacy and Point of Rocks report no eaemy insight. Scouts also report no sign of them in | os vicinity of Edward's Ferry or Conrad’s €) * In addition to this, it has been ascertained | that since Saturday evening the Potomac riyer | has risen two feet, and is not, consequently, | fordable at any point between Washington and “Hancock, thus rendering improbable an at. tempt of the rebels to cross at this time with view of making @ raid, or &ny other purpose. ‘Taking this view of the case, the Battimore and Obio Railroad Company have not allowed the operations of the road to be interrupted, and dust evening the trains were despatched as usual. The road, further, is well guarded by bogies of troops, which are deemed sufficient <o repel any attempt that may be made by the Tebels upen it. The keeping of this small infantry force at Charlestown, surrounded, as it has been known t be for a week, by the enemy's eavalry, is one of the mysteries of warfare in Shenandoah Valey. The triends of the members of the 9th in th‘s city have been daily anticipating for a week past to hear of the capture of the regi- mnt. Letiers had also been received from Mem ders of the 9h, stating that the were hour- dy srpecting an attack from Imboden’s c«val- ry. hey are reported to have fought bravely, untii overpowered by superior numbers.

On Saturday morning the enemy sent Bu- ford acroes at Germanna Ford, on the Rap- idan, for the purpoge of following in Lee's rear and discovering his object, and at the same time to harass him; but Gen. Lee was too old a soldier “to be caught napping.” Fitz Lee had been left behind to Provide against exactly such acontingency as this, and Ba- ford soon “left him,” at Morton’s Ford, on the Rapidan, across which Fitz Lee drove him, j &ud back still as far as Brandy Station, where Buford tormed a junction with Kilpatrick, who was just then retiring before Stuart, who bad pressed him down the Sperryville pike, and on by the Goardvine Church road. Here the enemy made a stubborn resistance, bring- ing their intantry into action, but it was no gO; “forward” was the word with us, and “back- ward” for the enemy.

Lee was in no little dread of our cavalry, should he undertake to maintain a long line of communication, as the rebels admit that the formerly so much despised Federal cavalry has steadily gained in horsemanship, dash, and quality of stock, and the Confederate cav- alry as steadily deteriorated, at least in the spirit of men and quality of horse-flesh, until now there is no comparison between the two.
