Bince our corps arrived here, four days ago, weary and worn with doy aod night marching (rom the Rapidap, the First and Third divisions have occupied tho intrench- ments, avd gained a tolerable rest, but the Second division has been out several miles on an important road, on a most fatiguing daty—picketing and intrenching. This, in addition to the recent fatigues, has been very Sovero upon the soldiers; but they are still in the best of spirits, and ‘ready for the fray,” <i” sf a aie cavaing Ui are constyptly ga feénk in strong force, Ga tkfrmlshes in ¥ifno direction aro of almont hourly occurrence. To-day at noon heavy firing was heard in the direction of Aldie, tending to con. firm the impression generally prevalent since yester. day that the rebels wore working around in that direction, with the intention of piercing our centro. (A CAVALRY SKIRMISH, Last night at dark spirited engagement took place at Manas:as Junction, between the new brigade of cavairy lately attached to General Kilpatrick’s division and the Ninth Virginia and other rebel cavalry. This brigade, was under the command of Colonel Gibbs, of tho Nineteenth New York cavalry, which regimont lost in the engagement three killed and five wounded. Of the Josses in the brigade I could not learn. My informant saw nine dead rebels, but bad no further knowledge of their loss, This action developed the fact that s large force of rebel infantry was still at Bristoe. ‘NO BATTLE AT BULL BUM, ‘The expectation of an immediate renewal for 1863 of an annua) Bull run fight, which was quite general some days ago, is now fast giving way to the belief that Loe has been handsomely fooled, and wil slink out without a fight. Mr. Thomas M. Cook’s Despatch. ‘Hgavquantens, Anwy oF rus Potomac, 7 Oeb. 19, 1863,” Again the tables are turned. By the stragetic skill he has shown in all his movements General Meade has baf- fled all the designs of the ekiliful rebel chieftain and suc coeded in placing the Union army in @ position where it ‘would be madness for any foo to attack it, and now the discomfited rebel army beats # Sasty retreat, attempting by rapid movements and shrewd devices to got back to his fortified positions on the Rapidan before the exultant forces of the Union aball fall tpon and utterly destroy him. A rout without ao bat- tle, a victory without an engagement, utter and total defeat of a powerful army purely by strategic movo- ments—snch are the results of the campaign just closing. ‘The enemy has gone, and Meade is pursuing, In the far distance, away off in the vicinity of Thoroughfare Gap, the booming of cannon aonounces that our advance is ea- gaged with the rear guird of the flying rebels, apreaaing consternation and terror throughout their already dis- organized and demoralized ranks. As we retired from the Rappahannock to the fortified heights of Centreville the enemy exulted ani shouted victory. Every step they advanced soemed to them an assurance that Washington was within their grasp. Proadly and defiantly they pressed on after our retreating colamos, falsely p:r-uading themselves that the Army of the Poto- mac had been so weakened by drafts made upon it for the reinforcement of the Army of the Cumberland that we would be unable to resist their advance into and pos- seszion of the Union capital. Every mile that we retired strengthened them im their feebie delusion. Succeeding ja getting possession of the shortest lines from the Rap- pahanock to Centroville, they thought to porsess theso heights in advance of our little army, then, wheeling, destroy us, leaving Washington as the easy and pure fruit of their It was a plausible scheme and adroitly managed; but the able commander of the Union forces was more adroit than they. He uarlerstood their plan, By coweless and untiring vigilance he képt bimself possessed of ail their movemonts and designs, and by marches of unparalleled rapi ity, in which his noble troops suilered without m muring the loss of rest for successive nights, marching on Loth through daylight and darkness, in storm and colt, through hunger and fatigue, and all mauner of pri+ vation and endurance, such az bas never choracterized the march of any army since the terrible retreat of the French from Moscow, be overcame the two days start the enemy had gsined, and his advance was niroady in posseasion of the heights wee lis rear guard— the noble Second corps—engaged the enemy's advance, full ten miles distant, on Broad run, Such is the brief review of thie unequalled withdrawal from am untenable advanced ponition to an impregnanle defensive point, which in its every detail belies the ax” soriion of the acting General-in-Chief of the army, that the Army of the Potomac can neither march nor fight. Soch marebing, I repeat, was oever before known, such wkiife! defeat of deeply laid plans has rarely been equailed fu tho Listory of war, Full and detatied accounte have been given you of the brilliant repaise of the enemy at Broad run by the gal- lant Warren, As it was no part of General Meade’s plane to give the enemy battle on any other than ground of his own choosing, Warren was not allowed to remain at Broad run after repulsivg the enemy, but was imme diately withdrawn to the east of Ball run. Our line of defence was then taken up en the semi-ciroular tho apex of the curve.

The , destroying the raiiroad and bridges time will thus be early discovery of thie design by General Meade was of itself sufficient to frustrate it. The scheme was too dar- ng to be attempted after discovery, and was, therefore, abundoned s0 goon as the enemy discovered, by the dis- position of our cavalry on the ieft, that it bad beeu dis- covered by us. SKUROSHING WITH THE ENEMY, ‘The rebel column was pressing on in al) haste by the roads south of the railroad leading through Wolf Run Shoals on Thurs‘ay morning, when they were intercepted by Buford’s cavalry, and spirited skirmishing commenced. While Geueral Buford threw himself in their front, the foroes of General Gregg came upon their flank with such earnestness that for a while the rebel column seemed in imminent danger of being stampeded between the two attacks, ut their general showed no little skill, and as the perils thickened about bim nerved himself to overcome thom, He seems tohave become speedily convinced of the impracticability of the Plan he had undertaken, and wheeled nis column to the left, with a view of moving across our front to rejoin the maiz rebel force on our right. In doing this he Perceived that he was liable to attack at every step, un- less by a very wide detour away from our lines he should make the distance too great for us to assail him, or by some feint he attract ehould our attention to points re- moved from bis line of march, He seoms to have accepted the latter alternative, and accordingly made a strong demonstration at Mclean’s Ford, on Bull run, MIGHT AT WLRAN’S FORD, This ford is about two miles above Union Mills, and was defended at this time by the New Jersey brigade of the Second division of the Third corps. The brigade is Commanded by General Mott, who was wounded at the head of his command both at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsvile, It so happened, also, at this par ticular time, that General Prince, commanding the divi- sion, aud Genera! French, commanding the corps, were Present to assist in directing the defence of the ford. The enemy charged down to the ford with cavalry and infantry, and taking positions in somié old riffe pits, con. structed in the campaign of 1861, opened a murderous fire upon the gallant Jeresymen. But our brave fellows bad been in too many nard fought battles to shrink at thie late day from any danger, so while one detachment returned the fire of tho rebels, another took shovels and soon threw up some temporary cover, in which our skirmishers might find protection and be on an equal footing with their assailants. Io the meantime Robinson's battery and a section of £eely’s were put in position upon the heights above, and did excellent service in silencing the batteries of the enemy, which had bees poated In ihe edge of a plece of woods hear McTean’s house and bearing on the ford, and also in keeping back reinforeements that seemed to be moving up to the rebel force posted in the rifle pits at the ford, The skirmishers of the two forces were hore scarcely a hundred yards apart, tho waters of Bull run only separating them. On either side of the stream they lay concealed behind their ridges of earth, showing them. selves only to give and receive ® shot, and the skirmish was protracted until evening, when the enemy retired and our men crossed the stream and took possession of both banks. ‘The losses in this little affair were two killed and about twenty-five wounded on our side. A Union corporal was @aught on the western bank of the river when the rebels advanced, but managed to make his escape in the even- ing, immediately on the close of the skirmish. He re- ports the rebel loss abous sixty in killed and wounded, Captain H. A. bate mr C, log, slightly, Peter Scbneiderwine, Co. H, hand, Nicholas Baker, Co, 1, foot, ‘Wm. H. Hill, Co, I, leg.

General Mott behaved with coolness and courage, and #0 800m as the enemy withdrew threw his men across tho river, and would have pursued had the opportunity been given him. Information obtained since this affiir establishes the fact Uhat Hill, on withdrawing from McLean's Ford, aban- doned the attempt to Cross our front, and on Friday morning retired down ‘he railroad, leaving a very thin picket line of cavalry in our immediate front. On thetr t withdrawal they destroyed the railroad and all the | | bridges beyond Manassas, and otherwise obstructed the route of any pursuing columm that might be sent after them. Their retirement from the right of our line did not occur until Saturday, and was similarly covered by leaving @ mounted picket force in front of us. It ie supposed that Ewell went away by the Warrenton pike; but whether he has destroyed the bridges on that road or not jam unable at this writing to ray, But whether ho did #0 oF not, it is clear his labor did him little good, as from the firing that still continues in the direction of wb Bull Run Mountalos the inference ie plain that our ad vance has overhauled him aod compelled him to muo frequent halts to check us, I can give no information of General Meade’s plaus 10 this new phase of the campaign, nor can | do more than conjecture the intontions of the rebela. I prosume boy will make all haste to the sonth of the Rapidan, and will then send away more of their troops to reinforce Bragg = Perbape they may not stop om the Rapiian. ‘They may discover movements om the part of the Union army that will lesd them to abandon the whole of Vir ginia without apother battle, But whatever they ¢0, General Meade will not love sight of them for a day or as hour.
