THE VERY LATEST, &e., &e,, &e. On Satarday, May 31, the first collision oceurred be- twera tho forces of Jackson and Fremont, in the lower volley, near Strasburg. As soon as Jackson heard of the advanee of Fremont from Franklin to Strasburg by forced marohes, to intercept him, he at once fell back from the Potomac in the direction of Winchester and Strasburg. ‘TM RAPID MOVEMENTS OF JACKHON'S REBRIA. S0 rapidly did Jackson move his worn out forces that many of them, during @ march of thirty miles, which Drought them as far as Winchester, foll from the ranks exhausted, and all were more or less footsore and broken down. ‘Their cavalry, under ite dosperate and undaunted leader, Ashby, always occupying the post of danger on the march, scoured the country to ascertain the progress and whereabouts of the intercepting column. Jackson was the first to occu- py Strasburg, thongh he was only two hours’ march (Ave miles) in advance of Fremont on the evening of May 31. ‘THE VIRSY FNOAGEMENT MAY 31. About two o’clock that afternoon a sharp engage. ment Occurred between the rebel cavalry and artillery, under Ashby, and the First New Jersey eavairy and a battery of artillery on our side, Both sides claimed the victory, Ashby fell back with hia principal force, and loft afew cavalry to act as oxtreme pickets and report the pro- grees of Fromont’s army, THE ROADO—STRENCTH OF STRASHORG Jochegn, It should be remarked had the advan. t SOALE OF murs 7 1/ ) I a vt \i On ny iy) A, Uy my Oe M Cyt Wophy kor Hy Hy ifatte ‘iat 7) AN Mic Wise, an Sis, f\ 8, Md ms ti Ms fe, sey BC; , SOUTH &, WM PaAsiitie by My MD mel , a a 5 § SETTLEMENT Us ksi aaa fh) Za a2 eet ASS SS stay, LBBY ay J SS a anit é “TURLEY SW can S mat _ ARONZCOAL Ss rr CS g ey BURG \W \) NOS, ed $ i ec ‘SO. ig “i, O Ny EDGES BORT REPURLIC Mle.

He therefore posted his army) and Divouacked for the night. Slight skirmishing among the Pickets continued al! that night but Fremont did uot advance. NEXT MORNING, JUNE 1, at six o’clock, Jackson’s army, drenched with rain and enecvated by hunger, resumed its line of march, taking the road from Strasburg to Staunton. Fremont’s column was likewise early in motion, continuing the pursuit’ with energy. About half way between Strasburg and Woodstock the booming of cannon apnounced another collision of the hostile columns, ‘TRAP TO THROW OCR CAVALRY—UNION RATALIATION, The rebels the night previous had stretched ropesacross the road to trip our cavalry; and by this ruse succeeded in killing and wounding thirteen of them. This infuriated our troops so much that they, the next day, coming up with Asbby’s force between Strasburg and Woodstock, charged upon them with great fury, and caused the Sixth Virginia regiiment—which is much distinguished in the service of the rebels—to be totally routed in quick time and with serious loss. Ashby rallied forty of the rebel infantry, stragglers, however, and, posting them in the woods on each side of the road, where they were secure from cavalry, suc” ceeted in checking for @ timo the advance of our cavalry, and probably saved many of our command from destruction. ‘THR ARTILLERY AT WOKK. Our artillery soon came up, however, and the rebel battery of six guns, known as the Rich- mond battery, was halted to support the enemy’s rear guard. Their guns were silenced by ours ina few minutes, however, and our cavalry, dashing forward, captured a small party of rebel infantry, and, encouraged by their suceess, charged upon the rebel battery with so much spirit that the rebel dragosns once more fled and ieft the guns of the Richmond battery exposed: Three of these taken as trophies. The enem; cavalry attempted to recapture them, but failed mise, rably. Jackson had his prisoners now near the rear, often in fall view of Fremont, and probably placed there purposely to protect him from the fire of the Union ar. illery. The losses on either side in these encounters were net heavy in men, and there is no means at present of ascertaining the names of any of the killed and wounded, The rebels took some prisovers ; but our force® took at least twice as many; for they had the advantage of coming up with the stragglers of the enemy, many of whom were compelled to surrender as prisoners of war. AT WOODSTOCK Jackson took up an impregnable position, and halted his force, after a march of eleven miles that day. Fremont did not attempt to dislodge him, but hovered clove OF TUR REEL PROVOST MARSHAL. It should be mentioned here that our cavalry, under Prigadier General Bayard, entered Strasburg so suddenly that the rebel provost marshal and his command of about two hundred men were captured on the afternoon of this day. THE RETREAT CONTINCED—MONDAY, JUNE 2—nan Roane. About eight o'clock A. M. on Monday, June 2, Jnck- son's force, now consisting of about 20,000 men and fifty guns, continued their retreat, Fremont was again apon their heels. Several artillery ekirmishes occurred during the march from Woodstock to Edenburg, bnt nothing in the fighting line of much interest happened. Some of the rebel wagons got stuck in the road, which was ren- dored soft by the vast amount ‘of travel on itand the recent heavy rains, and these wore burned by the rebols to prevent their capture, When their batteries got atuck, however, they were dragged out, and by oxtra- ordinary oxertion harried forward out of danger. AT THR VILLAGE OF EDENHURG, Five or six miles from Woodstock, the rebel General Ashby, by Jackson's Orders, after seeing the rear guard safely acrose{the’ bridge over Stony crock, fired tho woooden structure, and it was soon committed to the flames.

Jackson purrued his retrograde movement to Mount Jackson, eight mile* beyond Kdenburg. There he halted till noon the next day, when the sound of the cannon again announced thy proximity of his untiring pursuer. TUEY MOVE ON AGAIN—THE BRIDGE OVER THR SITENANDOA REACHED. Tho rebel army was row in motion once moro, and one milo beyond Mount Jackson they at longtt reached what they had long pined for, the bridge over the Shenandoah. The river was so high that it had over- flowed its banks in many places, and so rapid that branches of trees and everything moveable ware swept down the stream, To pass such a river under such cir- cumstances was certainly no easy matter without a vridge. ¢ ‘WHR BRIDGE FIRED. As soon as Jackson's army had crossed, there- e, the fine bridge over this river was, like the rest, mitted to the flames. {t burned well, notwithstand- ing the dampness of the timber, on account of the rain, the quantity of combustii le matter prepared to insure ite destruction being so targe. All the efforts of the Union cavay to save it availed nothing, and, after advancing his army eight miles beyond the bridge, Jackson halted in fancied security. The suceced- ing night it rained heavily. The rebeis knew that this would keep the Shenandoah up and give them time to rest. They were not aware either of the energy of their pursuer or the fact that he was provided with pontoons ee ante the very obstacle that now presented HOW OUR ARMY BUILD BRIDGES, One bridgo was bui't that very night; but the flood swept it down. Nothing daunted, another was commenced the succesding day, and finished at half-past eleven P. M., with more secure fastenings. ‘The rain fell; the foods came and beat against it; but it fell not.’’ ‘The same night the column posed. over, under the fire part of the time of a rebel battery, by which go other mischief was done than the killing of a “Bucktail,’” while the enemy had two men wounded by round shots ricochetting from our batteries. NEXT MORNING (THURSDAY, JUNE 5), The enomy resumed his retreat, aud Fremont his pursuit. At two o’clock P. M. Ashby’s rear gnard evacuated Newmarket, after having vainly manauvred for many hours to draw our cavalry into ap ambuscade skilfully prepared for their destruction, As our infantry came up to their support, drawn forward in wagons, the rebels were astonished, and quickly perceived that by this stroke of generalsbip they, tho latter, were ex- posed to destruction themselves. WERNKER'S DIVISION Soon entered Newmarket, every band playing patriotic muric. Capt. McDowell, of Ashby’s cavalry, was the last rebel in the town. Col. Zagonyi, of Fremont’s Body Guard , the Lieutenant Colonel of the First New Jersey cavairy, and Captain Rivers, also of the cavairy, were the first men to enter the place, Not a soul was in the streots, a battle being expected by the citizens, whe did net think Jackson would fall back much further, THR RRUELS STILL FALL BACK. Fall back he did, however, towards Harrisonburg, and the same evening, ina skirmish with Ashby, our caval- ry captured twenty-six prisoners without the loss of a |, man. These prisoners were forwarded the next day to Strasburg. Among them were two or three artiller- ists of the rebel battery known aa the Augusta battery, and five or six infantry stragglers, Five miles boyond Newmarket our forees encampod and bivouacked thay ight. EXT DAY THE PURSUIT TO HARRISONRURG Of the rebels was continued, the enomy burning throe or four small bridges on his line of retreat. Our forces entered Harrisonburg, cighteon miles beyond New Mar. ket, on the evening of the 6h inst. and beyond the town came up with and engaged the enemy. THE FIGHT CONTINERS—#R PERCY WYNDNAM CAPTURED, Severe fighting continued from (hat time till dark be- tween the enemy's rearand our advance. ‘The First New Jersey cavalry, Colonel Sir Percy Wyndham, were ambaehed beyond the town, however, and lost thirty- five of their number, awong them, Colonel Wyndham, who was captured. Colonel Cluseret’s brigade subse- quently engaged the enemy, compelling him to abandon his position and his camp. ‘The ‘Bucktaft”’ regiment, Colonel Kane, entered the woods and kept up the attack upon the enemy with spirit for baif aw hour, finally com. pelling him togive groand, The artillery now came into play,and the superiority of the Union guns was once more established, Out of one handred and twenty. five of the Pucktaile engaged, fifty.ive were killed, wounded or taken prisoners, among thom many gallant offeers. ‘The enemy’s loss in this skirmish is reported to haye been heavy. Among his killed is reported the ame of the renowned cavairy officer Ashby. FREVONT OVERTAKES JACKBON—JUNE 8. On tho morning of the Sth inst., eight miles beyond Harrisonburg, Fremont at lengt! came up with Jackson’s force in its chosen position. Our artillery commenced the action. The enemy’s position was completely masked by timber aud the uneven surface of the ground. ‘The lino of battle oxtended two miles. GENYRAL STATED, ¥ ‘Who was engaged with the enemy on the extreme Fight in the early part of the battle, had, the honor of giving bim the first reverse, The whole line moved forward to the attack at balf-past twelve P. M., Milroy leading the centre, Schenck the right, and Stanel the advance. Blenker’s, Bohlen’s and Von Steinwehr’s brigades formed the reserve, The line moved down the hills into the valley. and up the rolling lands, which were wooded on their summits. ‘THR REBELS IN THE TIMUER. Tn those woods and the heavier timber beyond the enemy had taken. up his position. General Stahel, on the left, was soon supported by Milroy and Schenck, and the action became general. The Eighth and Forty-fifth New York were advanced first against. the enemy through an open field, while the rebels occupied and, were concealed by a'weod. These troops, after a gallant effort, how- ever, were compelled to retire, Tho Eighth lost Colonel Watschell, severely wounded, and not less than threo hnndred of its men killed and wounded, The artillery en- abled Stahel to keep the enemy in front of him in ebeck, however. Milroy and Schenck compelled the rebels to retire finally with heavy loss. The Garibaldi Guard lost nearly two hundred of its numbers. @cR TOTAL 108m Is reported as high as eight hundred killed, wounded and missing. At the closo of the battle our forces occupied the battle field. The enemy, besides being better posted than our troops were, had a decided numerical advan- tage. Colonel Cluserat, with his brigade, advanced upon the enemy's position and held his ground there the whole night. A description of this very battle flold was published in the Henatp, in a letter from our army cor respondent at Newmarket, the last time Jackson was posted there after his retroat before the troops of Shields and Banks. ‘The following are among the officers wounded in tho battle of the 8th inst:— Colonel Mitchell, 8th New York, wounded.
