ide his army by throwing any material portion of it over into the Shenandoah Valley, thus weakening his force in front of Grant, who, he well knows, would be likely to crush him in detail. A family of refugees who came into our lines yesterday from below Madison Court-House, reports that Wickham's brigade were on picket duty on Robertson's river last Friday evening, having been there for some time. They were poorly mounted and the horses were in poor condition from want of forage. General Stuart is to have a grand review of all his cavalry on Tuesday, at or near Hampton's Cross Roads. Their cavalry is being reorganized for the spring campaign, which cannot open vigorously yet for some time, owing to the necessary supplies of forage being exhausted, and grass will not be green for two or three weeks, the season being very backward.

From North Georgia.--a fight Expected, &c. Dalton, May 4. --Fourteen privates belonging to the 58th and 60th N. C. regiments were shot to-day for desertion. Two were also shot for the same offence in Stuart's division. The enemy have massed a large portion of their army at Red Clay. Skirmishing has been going on on the Cleveland and Ring-gold roads, between our cavalry and the enemy's, all day. Our forces are gradually retiring on the latter road. An engagement will probably commence to-morrow.

er Court-House Friday and occupied it. Yesterday they went back to Brandy Station, set fire to the stores (principally quartermaster's) and then marched to join Grant. Scouts say that the enemy have abandoned the line of the Orange railway, and no cars are running on it. It is supposed that Grant now intends to make Fredericksburg his base. Ewell holds the road leading to Germanna, Ford, but the enemy still have two fords by which to recross the river to Culpeper if they wish. Stuart was yesterday engaged with the enemy on our right, and it was reported he was compelled to give back until Hampton joined him, when he forced the enemy to retire. The enemy's losses thus far are estimated at 18,000. Ours will reach 7,000. The Yankee Gen. Hayes is certainly killed. Wads worth is wounded and a prisoner — he may recover. Oglesby is reported killed. Twenty four hundred privates and one hundred commissioned officers thus far have been registered here, not including the

nton. The battle extended over a distance of about nine miles. From the following dispatch it will be seen that the Lexington Cadets bore an important part in the contest: Staunton, May 10, 1864. To Gen. W. H. Richardson: The corps of Cadets were with General Breckinridge in the fight with Sigel yesterday at New Market, and behaved splendidly. They lost five killed and fifteen wounded, to will Cadets Corbett, Jones, Crockett, McDowell, and Stanard, killed; and Cadets Carnell, Stuart, Bill, Randolph, Johnson, Dillard, Berkeley, Wise, Triplett, Marshall, Shriver, Watson, Reid, Turner and Whitson, Wounded.

We have received from a friend a copy of the Baltimore American, of Friday evening last, May 13th, nearly two days later intelligence than that published yesterday. It was captured in the fight yesterday below Drewry's Bluff, by H. M. Walthall, co D, 1st Va infantry. The Yankees had received the intelligence of the capture of Gens Ed Johnson and Stuart, and in pieces of artillery, on Thursday last, and were in high feather over it. The following is a high pressure dispatch from Gen Ingalls to Washington about it. We have made a ten strike to-day, Hancock went in at daylight. He has taken over 4,000 prisoners and over 95 guns, and is still fighting. Everybody is fighting, and have been for eight days. We shall have them this though it may take a day or two more. They fight has devils. Our losses are heavy — can't say how many. If Augusta forces were here now we could finish them to day. Hancock captured Gen. Ned Johnson and two other Generals, besides lo

, he was standing almost alone, with a musket in his band, contesting the ground single handed with the multitudinous foe. The brigades composing the division are the stonewall brigade, Gen James M Walker, and Jones's brigade, both of this State, Stuart's brigade of Virginians and North Carolinian, and Stafford's brigade of Louisianian.--Jones and Stafford fell at the Wilderness Walker was wounded yesterday; Stuart, and Johnson, the commander of the division, were taken prisoners, and the ColoneStuart, and Johnson, the commander of the division, were taken prisoners, and the Colonel commanding Jones's brigade is reported killed, with many other officers the guns left on the field, but which neither party has been able to move on account of the fire of the other — some eighteen or twenty--are said to belong to Catshaw's and Page's battalions. A thousand or twelve hundred prisoners were lost at the same time. This occurred at a very early hour in the morning, If Jones's brigade had not given away it is possible, though not probable, that Johnson would have been able t

d map before him, he will find but little difficulty in forming a satisfactory conception of the battle. As has already been stated, Ewell moved down the turnpike, which is on the left and nearest to the river, and Hill down the plank road. Stuart passed still further to the South, and marched down the Catharpin road, so as to throw his cavalry in front of the head of Grant's army and retard its march. His troopers did their duty well, especially Rosser's brigade, of Hampton's division, a an ox. Ewell and Hill pushed rapidly down the turnpike and plank roads, encountered and drove in the cavalry and infantry supports which had been thrown forward to block up these highways, and compelled the whole army to halt and defend itself. Stuart in the meantime had reached Brock's road, in front of the enemy, and thus opposed another obstacle to his further advance. It is not known that Grant specially directed to give battle here, but he saw the danger of his position and immediately f

The battle in North Georgia. Battle-Field, 18 miles from Marletts, May 28 --Heavy skirmishing began at day light yesterday morning on the left, and continued without intermission until about 5 o'clock, when a desperate assault was made upon Stevenson's division, which was repulsed handsomely, with heavy loss to the enemy. This is the fourth assault that has been made upon this point, resulting in heavy loss to the enemy. A battery was run up within two hundred yards of Stuart's line, and opened a terrific fire. Our sharpshooters killed every gunner and horse. The battery thus disabled was hastily abandoned. Last night at 12 o'clock the enemy advanced on our extreme right, where they were ambuscaded by Cleburne's division, who followed up with a charge, which routed the enemy completely, leaving 149 prisoners, including a brigade commander, together with their dead and wounded, in our hand. The enemy's lose in this affair was between five and six thousand. The conduct o
