It was suppored from information reaching us, or the indi- ations, that the enemy would venture an attack, The active preparations made in such anticipation have made the day, notwithstanding the absence of a general en- ment, a busy and exciting one. There have been hing and countermarching of infantry, the moving to and fro of artillery, and rapid marching back an | fo:th of cavalry. CONCENTRATION CP THE ARMY. The Second corps joined us during the day. Th> Ninth corns is tu our vicinity. General Meade has his head- qoarters close by. Everything 1s in readiness to-night for accepting or renewing battle. THE CAVALRY ENGAGED—CAPTURES. the fighting to-day has been by the cavalry. They ted. portion of General Longstreot’s wagon train, cannons and several hundred prisoners, The wagons were burned, and the prisonersaud cannon were marched by our headquarters. The cannon were marked “Sir W. G. Armstrong, 1864," and have never been used in battle, The who was taken with them bought them in En- ‘end says that be has spent four plantations in ald of the confederacy. FRISONERS. Among the prisoncrs are two colonels, five cap- teina, three lieutenants and ‘one surgeon. Colonel Qark, one of the prisoners, is said to have been chief of ertillery of General Bragg. Colonel Terrall, the other , was formerly in the United States service. The is said to repor: Jobnston’s forces at Strong creek, and also that Lee bas a force of one hundred thousand mea Jn our front.. I give these reported statements for what they are worth. OUR LOSSES IN TUE CAVALRY, Im the cavalry engagement we lost quite heavily, Colonel Janney, First New Jersey, was killed, and Gen- eral Gregg wounded and taken prisoner. LADIBS GOING SOUTH. On the train captured to-day was Captain Somers, his wife and two children. Mrs. Somers begged that her pusband be allowed his parole to see her and her chil- Gren at a safe distance from the army. General Devens Got im a parole of twenty-four hours. Cuptain Somers States that a large number of women and children were on the train that escaped capture, trying to work their ‘way south. DESIGNS OF THR ENEMY. It is supposed that if the enemy does not attack us here he will make an effort to cross the Appomattox at Stony Point, and then, striking the Richmond and Lynch- burg turnpike, make tracks in the direction of the latter Place. The probability is that Generals Meade and Sheri- an may inéist on having a voice in the carrying out of the enemy's programme. SPIRITS OF THE ARMY. The army was never in moro jubilant spirits. Four days rations were issued to-day. ‘MAIL COMMUNICATION OPEN. Among all the sources of congratulation there is none more gratifying than the announcement of mail commu- nication being opened again. For three days wo bave ‘been moving, lost from the outer world. Our mail and supplies for the present will reach us at Sutherland sta. tion, on the Southside Railroad. ft~. THE NINTH CORPS. Mr, J.

It being found impossfite 12 Sharge,them from the obstructions tm tho way, a section of United Statos Batley A.vas brought up, and in a fow minutes shelled them front” thoir post ~~~ tion, obliging them to fall back out of range in grvat con-, fusion. A number of men were at ouce dismounted, an@ in half an hour succeoded in removing all the obstruc- tions and allowing the command to cross tho creek, which, ct the deepest point, was not over four feet. BVIDENCE OF THE ENEMYS DEMORALIZAZ! N. Immediately upon crossing a rapid march was ordered and in a short time the most complete evideace of utter aud fearful demoralization of the rebels was apparent on every side. The road was strewn with wagons, ambu- dances, dead and wounded, horses, and mutes, cajseons: filled with ammunition, dozens of bo:es of ammuni- tion thrown out to ligaten the load, moss ntonsils, arms, &o.—all speaking of defeat and fears of capture. OUR FLANKGRS DISCOVER CANNON AND AMMUNITION SEORLTED IX THE WOODS. . Tomitted to mention in its proper place that before crossing the creek flankers were sent out who discovered. four pieces of artillery, two wagons leaded down with ammunition, and two ambulances, left by the rebels hid away in the woods. : In several places along tho road large quantit'cs of all Kinds of ammunition were discovered strewn along the fences and the fences set on fire, with the evident diaboli- cal intention o! causing an explosion to retard and destroy ourcolumn as far as possible. In some spots th: dry wood burued fiercely; but, fortunately, through the pre- cautions taken, no injury resulted from their scheme. ARRIVAL AT NAMOSINE CHURCH, Passing on rapidly, several miles we came to Namozine church, or, as it 1s sometimes called, Poplar Grove church, at the tntersection Of two roads. The road ta the left leading direct to Lynchburg, the ona to the right of the church to Bey{l's bridge across the Appomeitox, oe . -BARRESGHR'S REBEL BRIGADE Ti : ‘The Sccond brigade, taking the road to the left, soon encountered the enemy's cavalry of Barrenger'sprigade, who, although they made dosperate efforts: to cacape, were nearly worm out with fighting and running. A Portion of them turned and fired wpon the advance; but our men, without in the least halting, charged in upon thom, scattering them like sheep, many abandoning their horses and arms and taking to the woods, where they were picked up and brought in prisoners, So eager were they in getting away that in many places the road was completely blocked up, those in the rear ursing their horses upon those in front. CASCALTIES, In this charge Captain Goodrich, of the E'ghth New York cavalry, was shot through the head, a ball enter- ing the inside corner of the right eyo and coming out at the top of his head. Hoe was carried back to tho chareh im an unconscious condition; the ball having passed through the brain. He expired ina short time.
