A conflict transpired yesterday between a dotachment @f our cavalry and Colonel Fitzbugh Leo’s brigade, last- tag until night. Our forces pushed the rebels from position to position for a distance of five miles, ‘Night thon coming on, and not knowing the enemy’s @trength in the vicinity, the greund was cleared of the @ead, wounded and prisoners, and a strong position was (akon by our forces on the battie field. ‘The fight lasted several hours. ‘We took seventy-four prisoners and nine officers, in- @oding a major. A large maumber of tho enemy were killed. Accompany ef dismounted rebel sharpshooters were peated to pick off our officers,and most of them were cap- tured. de. Among the casualties en our side were Col. Doty, of the Maine cavalry, killed. Col. De Cesnola, of the Fourth cavalry, is missing, and ‘whether he is wounded or a prisoner is not known.

We captured over a hundred prieo- mers and @ battle flag belonging to the Fifth Virginia cavalry. Among the Killed, besides Colonel Douty, were Captain G. J, Lammatt, of the First Maine, and Lieutenants D, Whitaker and Martinson, of the fecond New York. ‘The fact that the fight was 60 desperate ts explained by the importance of the position to be gained—1. ¢., the commanding gap at Aidie, ia the Bull run and Catoctin One hundred and six of tho wounded from the fight at Aldie, Virginia, arrived at Fairfax Station last night‘ en route for Alexandria. r) From the statement of Colonel Duffie it appears that on Wednesday afternoon, when General Gregg had carried the stone wall near Aldie and driven the rebel cavalry toward Snickersville, he (Colonel Duffie) was ordered to Proceed to Middleburg and hold that point. His regiment went into the engagement with three bundred and = thirty- men and twenty-four officers, Qn arriving at Middleburg ne was informed by Jadies that @ force of rebel cavalry great. ly .outnambering hie own were encamped around the town. This was evidenced by the fact that he had dispersed a brigade who opposed bis entrance and were then making demovstrations upon him from another Point. He was alro told that the whole of Stuart's forge were in the vicinity, but that Stuart himself had just left by anotber route to. reinforce Lee, who was then falling back from Aldie. Determined to carry out his imetruo- tione, he sent back messengers to Aldie asking for rein- forcemonts. In the meantime the rebels, in force, attacked Colonel Duffie at severa) different points, Finding himself over- powered by superior numbers and surreunded on every side he attempted to cut hie way back toward Aldic. Fatting in effecting this he turned towards Thoroughfare Gap, and proceeded several miles, when he secertained that the Gap was held by General Ewell, commanding the grand centre of Leo's army, and that Lee was thereabout in person. Colonel Duffie then defiled to the left, crorsed the mountain at Hope Gap, and by a tortuous route sue- cooted m reaching our outposts. Among the missing officers of his command are Lieuten” ‘ant Colonel Thompeon, Major Farrington, Captains Shurt- Mf, Blies, Rogers, Alien, Chare, Gould and Wyman, Adju- tant Parker , Surgeon Mann, Lieutenants Shartieff, Chadell, Peterson, Brown, Prentiss, Barker and Ellis. It is poasi- Die that many of the missing may bave escaped and found their way to General Gregg’s command by other Peutes. The Position of the Rebel Forces. Wasnixeton, June 19, 1863. ‘The reconnoisance of our cayalry his solved the mys- tory of the present Iccation of General Ico and General Ewell. From this source it is also ascertained that Gen- era) Longstreet was on Wednesday at Union, Loudon county, in the Bull run valley. Advices from below say that Gen. A, P, Hfll’s advanco guard, consisting of Hampton’s Legion, was advancing towards Dumfries, and that ove regiment had made its Appearance at Stafford Court House. Combining these facts, intelligent officers draw the conclusion that General Lee is advancing upon the Army of the Potomac in three columne—his right, under Hill, by way of Occoquan ond Wolf run shoals; his centre, under Ewell, by way of iho- roughfare Gap, and his left, under Lovgstreet, by way of Leesburg. In this counection it is only necessary tosay that euch dispesition bas been made of our army by General Hooker that no surpfise can possibly take place, The families of many officers who were visiting the field are returning hither to-day, and there are other ind). cations of an approaching conflict. A fow hours will pro- badly develope further movements and intentions on the Part of Lee's forces, which are now said to the upwards of vinety thousand strong. ‘Scattering reports of guns were heard in the direction of Aldic yesterday, a: renewed at intervals this morning. Nothivg is as yet heard of the result. The Rebels in Large Force Ne Wasnisatom, June 19, 1) It having been ascertained satisfactorily that only a small cavalry force bud been engaged in the recent inva- sion of Maryland end Pennsyivania,and that not over one-third of General Leo's force was in the Shenandoah valley, our cavalry have been engaged in ascertaining the whereabouts of the main body of the rebel army. It was the pursuit of this information which brought on the cav- alry fight at Aldie the day before yesterday, in which the rebels were routed. ‘This morning tbe enemy was discovered in large force near that place. Infantry, cavairy and artillery forces have been advanced by General Lee, with the intention evidently of occupying the gaps in the Blue Ridge. This solves the question of where Lee is. Movements of the Army. Wasuinaton, Jone 18, 1963. ‘The statement that General Sickles would not returo to bis command of the Third army corps is not true. Letters have been received from him by officers of his corpe which warrant them in expecting bis speedy return. General ftirney, who is in command of the Third corps temporarily, is overwhelmed with letters urging nim to go to Pennsylvania, and offering bim the command of the troops in that State if he wili come. He will not, however, leave his corps; nor could be do #0 without orders from his superiors. His com- mand of the corps duritg General Sickles’ absences has given great satisfaction. ‘The rain of last night hes afforded very great relief and benefit to the army. What is needed, however, very much, is a steady sain of from twenty-four to forty eight hours. Information bas been received here that the rebel in- fantry corps under General Ewe! has crossed the Potomac at Williamsport. The Aeronautic corps of the Army of the Potomac has deen dispensed with, and the balloon and tnflating appa- ratus have been sent to this city, ‘The several army corps are steadily assuming the posi- tions respectively assigned to them. The First army corps on Sunday marched twenty three miloe, on Monday fifteen and on Tuesday thirty miles. This, considering the intense beat of the weather and Previous long marches, is an extraerdinary performance. ‘The distance the eorps marched yesterday is not known, Dut was probably twenty miles, Other corps have made rapid marches, but nove have acermplished so great a diatance. Nothing has been geen of the enemy since the skir- mish at Aldie on Wednesday evening, twenty five miles northwest of Ball run. It is evident that the main por tion of General Lre's forces are still near the gape of the Blue Ridge range, but on which side of the moun- tains # is of course pot positively known. It would re- quire at least two days’ marching for the enemy to reach the Bull run battle ground. ‘Three deserters from the First division of Third corps | are to be executed to-morrow.

There were a great number of conflicting rumors going the rounds of the city yesterday, some of them to the effect that the armies of 1ee and Hooker had met somewhere about the old field of Bull ron, and that 4 sanguinary battle was fought, in which the Union forces wore utierly routed. Some people confidently stated that the report reached this city through federal officers who left Wash. ington on Thursday evening last. jIn Wall street the wild- est and most contradictory kind of rumors were flying about; but none of them cold be traced to relinble sources, The /nct is that there ts no Peliance whatever to ‘de ploced om these reports.

One of our reporters made the most dilicent inquiries to find out how the stories originated, and in the coarse of bis researches waa referred from one person to another only to encoun'er the name unsubstantial statements. His Inquiries in Wall atreet resutted tp diccovering just nothing at all, Some of the brokers bad heard nothing of the ru- more, others bad heard that Hooker was rapidiy retreat. ing before Lee, while not a few persons were quite certain that Lee was within a few miles of Washington.
