An officer who arrived from Cumberland reporte bay- img beard of a spirited engagement -between the Unica forees, under Generals Burbridge and Stonem.n, and the rebel commanders of the Qvofederate Department of Southwestern Virginia. ‘The Aght ls reported to have taken place near the line Of tho Virginia and Tennesseo Railroad, and either at o {m the neighborhood of Saltville, The incoming reports contain mothing looking toward a reverse; but, on the contrary, are very encouragiog, and lead us to Shink that if the reported engagement was of apy moment it was certainly a valuable success to our side, Barbridge’s movement is creating very considerable stir among the rebels where he {s operating; at least 60 say citizens and prisoners. No doubt there is good cause for this, At or near Wytheville the rebels. are knéwn to have ® pontoon train, and are also known to have large quanti- tes of supplies at Dublin, Salem and very many of the Various stations on the line of the railroad. The rebels . are making as strong an effort as they can to check Bur- bridge, by concentrating their scattered forces towards his frout, flank and rear; but they have not got troops enough at their command, from all shat we cap Jearn, to dri jim off or to thwart his plans.

Waterbury has been long known to our authorities as a vigilant, troublesome scout, with bravery enough in bis composi- tion to venture into our camps, and sagacity sufficient to avoid detection and elude pursuit. He has infested the country between thé James river and our left, beyond Petersburg, all summer, All attempts to entrap him have bitherto failed. Smail parties have been sent in his pursuit, but he could never be overtaken or identified. On one or two oovasions, camp ramors declare, the parties who ‘went out for ‘woo! came in shorn.’?
