Larrie Wasmxcro, Rarranaxnock County, Va., July 23, 1802. The report rocently telegraphed from Warrenton, that Jackson was ator ner Gordonsville, is confirmed from osher seurces, which state that heis at Louisa Court ‘House with 24,000 men, and Ewell, with a corps of Jack s00’s command, is at Gordonsville—making ® total of 30,000 men. His present intention ts saidto be to as- sume the offensive and break our lines, and if successful, to demonstrate upon Washington, for the purpose of @rawing off our forces from Rich mond, ‘That Jackson {s in great force at Louisa and Gordons- ville is beyond doubt, and that he intends to attack us at nearly day is fully believed. General Pope's forces here have no objection, but rather desire that he will make the attempt. As many misstatements have been published in regard to the expedition commanded by General Hatch, it may not be inappropriate to make the following statcments, as given by a returned officer:— Aiter reaching Culpepper, General Hatch pushed his whole force to the Rapidan, where, in conssquence of the destruction of the bridges and the high state of the water, he was compelled to leave his artillery and in fantry. With his cavalry he pushed on to Orange Court House, where he learned that the enemy were in large force at Gordonsville. He gent thence acompany of the Virginia cavalry towards Gordonsville, who approached within six miles of the Iatier place and coulirmed the report of the enemy’s presence and strength, On Friday, tho 18th, two brigades, sxpposed to bo commanded by Cen. Ewell, mate their appearance at O-ango, andon Saturday, after sever? skirmishing, Gon. Hate! back, recrossed tho Rapidan and arrived at Culpepper on Sunday, Daring this time twenty-eight men of Company A, New York cavalry, were captured by tho @semy, owing, it is said, to the incredulity of the com- munding officer, who did not wo. tbat the enemy wore advaneing in force upon his outy Siation. Two or three men, whose horses were saddled, made their escape. After returning to Culpepper, General Hatch made another incursion to Madison aad thence northward to Sperry ville, ascertaining that tho enemy were not in forco fm that direetion. Soldiers Not Required to Guard Private Property of the Enemy. GENERAL ORDER—NO. 1. v or Vineista,} on, July 25, 1862, Hereafter no guards will be placed over private houses er private property of any deecription whatever. Com manding oillcers are responsible for the conduct of the troops under their comnmand, and the Articles of War and Fegulations of the army provide ample means for re straining them to the full extent required for discipline and efficiency. Soldier were calied into the field todo battle against the enemy, and it is not expected that their force and energy sball be wasted in the protection @f the private proparty of those most hostile to the gov- ernment.

Immediately upon the heels of the brilltant dash upon Beaver Dam, and before the exuberance and congratula- thons have ceased, another affair, equally daring in its conception and surpassingly successful, has instilled enthusiasm into the ranks and opened the eyes of Rebel- dom to the new order of things. As our cavalry returned from Beaver Dam on Sunday evening, it wHl be remem. bored that the rebels followed them up to within a short Gistance of Fredericksburg. Finding that they could not overtake us, they proceeded down towards the Bowling Green road, where they surprised a party of the Third Indiana cavalry, capturing® Heutenant and seven men. On Tuesday evening, at four o'clock, Lieutenant Colonel Killpatrick started out in pursuit of the onemy, believed tobe lurking in our vicinity, with one hundred and eighty men: of the Harris Light cavalry, under Major Davies; one bundred and twenty of the Third Indiana, ander Major Chapman, and Companies B and F @f the Brooklyn Fourteenth, under Captain Mallory, Sixteen miles from Fredericksburg, at the junc ti of the Bowling Green and Newmarket foads,the command biv od for the night, and at two o'clock next morning Colonel Kilpatrick pushed on with the cavalry, loaving the infantry to guard the ford of the Mattaponey, and to actasa gerve inan emergency. Mount Carmel was reached at Gaylight. Here it was experted the rebels wore en- eamped, and preparations wore made for surprising them; but no enemy could be found. Hearing that the rebols passed along there every morning, Colonel Kil- patrick sent Captain Soymour, with fifty men, to ambash them; but the party had proceeded but a short distance before they suddenly came upon the enemy. The com- mand immediately charged upon the rebels, who broke like sheep, end, rushing down to the North Anna river, abandoned horses, arms, clothing and everything, and plunged pell meil into the stream, Following them ‘scrous, the pursuit was continued until Kilpatrick came ‘upon thom, drawn up io the road in columns of platoons, with dismounted men, armed with rifles, doployed as skirmishors‘in tho ficlds to theright and left, Although having an inferior force, Colonel Kilpateick determined fo attack them. A number of men were deployed as skirmishers, and the column drawn up pre- paratory to @ obar; In the meantime Colo- nel Kilpatrick, Major Davies and Captain Walters rode up towards the evemy, only three hundred yards dis. tant, and opened comversation, the rebels inquiring what he wanted, to which the Colonel repited, “What doos it ook ker’? Returning to the column, the skirmishers sander Major Davies and Captain Walters commenced to advance. As yet notashot had been fired. Presontly the ri‘ies and carbines opened aleng the line, the enemy's batts whistling over ont skirmishors’ heads, while now sud then a rebel reeled and fell bovore our deadiy car. bines, Thie continued several minutes, the ; taining their position in the toad, One shot intend ror Col.

In after them west our cavalry, hurrying them down towaras Hanover Junct! a, where they retired behing reinforcements, when our men fell back W the abandoned camp. Here ap rion of the cavalry fired a railroad train loaded with grain, @ homber of wagous, tents, bagguge, commissary and medical stores, and other valuable property, While the handtul of neu were hastening the’ work of destruction large pec of Stuart’s cavalry appeared at a short dis- tance, they charged they would have utterly avni- hilated our troops, a8 they outnumbered us three to one; but, halting a moment to recounoitre, Colouel Kilpatrick determined on @ bold strike. Sounding the rally, bis scattered meu closed up behind the platoon which the Colonel_had suddenly thrown o83 the road, while Major Davies was seat with skirmishers to flank the euemy. Stealing off to the right, Major Davies had suc- ceeded in getting on their flank and almost on their rear before being discovered. Opening a brisk fire upon their flank , the whole command wheeled and fled, followed by our cavalry, who, after chasing them down the raiiroad ag far as was deemed prudent, returned, first, however, balding. number of tires aloug upon the track, The arty returned to eamp, reaching Fredericksburg 1 night at twelve o'clock, having marched seventy -four miles in twenty-four hours, routed a vastly superior rebel foroe, composed principally of Stuart’s famous Gaval- ry, destroyed several thousand dollars worth of property, cut down-the telegraph tino, and captured a large number of horses, together with several prisoners. Majors Duvies and Chapman, and Captain Walters, did romirkabiy good service, and were highly complimented by Colonel Kil patrick. ‘The cars have not yet commenced running on the Central Railroad, and this aiTair wiil be likely to hinder the repair of the road wo agreat extent. A Kich- mond paper, found in the rebel camp, stated tat Geueral Stuart was ‘building a bridge across the North Anna river, over wiich he intended, with two thousand men, to commit dep-edatious iu this direction, Colonel tsil- patrick le't word for Stuart that he need take no more trouble about the brilge, as we should give them ail they could acvend to on their own side. ‘This dash cannot fail w impress Uke rebels with the fact that the Department of the Rappahannock is about tw prove rather a troublesoms neighbor, and uniess Stuart's men exercise more courage their laurels will very soon have faicd. A portion of Ashby’s old com- mand was also in the Oght, as weare informed by pri: oners, and when te rebei authorities learn the inferiority of our force they may possibly reilect upon the proba- bility of a Yankee being equal to at least one rebel, Last Tuesday an order was received {rom General Pope direct certain parties in Fredericksburg to be arrest- ed and heid as hostages for Union meu seized by the re- dels lust spring. Captuin Chandier, Assistant Adjutant General © General King, was deputed to carry out the order, aud about nine o'ciock P. M., with a company of mon, went over into the rebel town, Not kn wing where the parties live!, a young man was called up, who upon being questioned became suddenly ignorast of the place of residence of any of the desired individua's; but, upon the assurance that a pair of bracelets were torth- coming if his faculties were not furbished up, he finally very complacently pointed out the rebels’ abiding places. Ove after another the hoary old rascals whose iniluence had been a terror to the peuple ever since the rebe'lion were called up from their beds and placed uncer the charge of the guard. Of course their families raised a great howl; but it was of uo avail, aud the captured gen- tlemen were soon introduced into the presence of Gieue- ral King, who plainly told them the object of their ar- rest, aud that the soouer they procured the release of Joyal men the better it would prove tor themselves. Some of them while in arrest did not hesitate to vaunt their treasonable sentiments, boasting of their number of relatives in the rebel army, and of weir abinty to secure the reiease of the men fur whom they were host- ges.

The Beaver Dam Affair. fFrom the Richmond Enquirer, July 29.7 We mentioned in our last that a pariy of Yankee caval. ry had, on Sunday, made a descent unon the Central Rui « Toad at Beaver um station, and that, owing to timely ‘warning of the presenceof the eoemy, the Central west ward bound train had, after reaching within « mile of the station, backed off and returned to this city. We have since Jearned some particulars of the raid. The Yankees, between one and two bundred in number, coming from the direction of Fredoricksburg, arrived at Beaver Dam about eight o’cicck Sunday morving. Mr. Smith, the telegraph operator at that station, was sur. prised and captured. They then cut. the telegraph wire and tore up just enough of the track between that station and Richmond to obsiruct the paseage of the expected train. Having secured themsoives against a surprise, they proceeded to fire a large quantity of wood belonging to the railroad company, and the depot, which contained & considerable amount oF corn and government stores, While the work of destruction was gomg on at the depot a party was sent to arrest Col. Foataing, President of the Contra!

Nearly every kind of business is at a stand sti'l. Citizens are asking each otver whether th re will bea forcible draft if volunt»ry enlis'ment does not succeed. General Schofield’s order provides: — 1. That every able bodied man subject to military duty is ordered to report within six diye lo \he nearest mili tary pos!, with a gun and horse, if possibie, bu them if neither can be provided. 2. Allarms not in use by loyal militia will be seized immediately, 8.
