The correspondent of the Herald, writing on November, 9th, supplies the following details of the battles at Kelly's Ford and Rappahannock Station :-- After the fight at Bristoe we followed on Lee's retreating army pretty briskly, but soon found they had too rapidly fallen back, and had thrown too many obstacles in our way for us to overtake them. The troops were then encamped in a kind of semi-circle, extending from Warrenton via Auburn to the line of railway near Catlett's Station. On the evening of the 6th inst.a General Order indicating the line of forts was issued to the corps commanders, and early on the morning of the 17th--Saturday--the troops fell back into column in the following or- der:--The Sixth corps movedfrom War- renton to Rappahannock Station; the 2nd, $rd, and 5th corps marched by Warrenton Junction along the line of railway by way of Bealton, where the First corps brought up our extremeleft. I should have stated that our cayalry was out some days ona recon- noissance, and had ascertained that the enemy occupied the forts at Rappahannock Station, and were also in force to the south of Kelly's Ford. From Bealton the Fifth corps continued in direct line of march to form a junction with the Sixth, while the Second and Third deployed for Kelly's Ford. C The march was rendered unpleasant by a strong breeze, which swept clouds of dust into our eyes and nostrils. Those whe washed themselves during the halt were only preparing the ground work fora new and denser coat. THE FIGHT AT KELLY'S FORD. The Third corps was in advance, and as they neared the ford they threw out strong lines of skirmishers and sharpshooters. Gen. Birney, who was in command of the corps, advanced two batteries, and placed Randolph on theright, near Mount Holly Church, and the Tenth Massachusetts battery on the left. Though the enemy shelled us all the time while our batteries were getting into position, still we suffered very little. Our position was a strong one. A range of high hills rises abruptly along the north side of the river, their wooded crest, and the little brick church peeping out of the foliage, giving them a picturesque appearance. At their base runs the Rappahannock, while a little way up on the south side of the river are the mill and extensive concerns of Mr. Kelly, whose son is now enjoying free quar- ters in the old capitol. Our battery now occupied a sweeping range of the extensiye plateau on the south side. Under shelter of the guns, which were vomiting forth shot and shell on them, and forcing them back from the river, the working parties advanced to lay the pon- toons. The first division, commanded by General Ward, was now massed, and the third brigade ordered to lead the attack. They were commanded by Colonel Tro- briand, a native of Brittany, France, who has displayed the chivalrous daring of his race. The pontoons were now laid, the enemy's guns were silenced, and the attack- ing party rapidly advanced across the bridge. The first United States sharpshooters, known as Berdan's sharpshooters, led by Lieut. Colonel Trappe, were in front. Having gained the opposite bank, the sharp- shooters, armed with Sharpe's rifles, deploy- ed and charged the enemy's pits, and after a brisk fire of musketry the enemy, finding themselves surrounded on all sides, threw down their arms and surrendered. Our regiments engaged were the first United States sharpshooters, the fortieth New York, the firat and twentieth Indiana, the third and fifth Michigan, and the one hundred and tenth Pennsylvania, but the brunt of the fight fell on the sharpshooters. 'We captured Colonel Gleason, of the twelfth Virginia, who was in command, one surgeon, one major, two captains, several lieutenants, 'and nearly five hundred privates. They mostly belonged to the twelfth Virginia, thirtieth North Carolina, and ninth Ala- bama, and were skirmishers selected from Ewell's corps. We lost in killed and wounded about thirty-five; the enemy I should thinkthe same. As Captain May- nard, Commissary of Subsistence, was giv- ing a drink to a wounded rebel, he was hit by a stray ball, and died next morning. This and the fight at Rappahannock Sta- tion must haye a dishéartening and demoral- izing effect on the enemy. One thing is cer- tain, they did not fight with their accustom- ed desperate bravery, and numbers of them openly expressed their joy at being captured. Some of the officers even stated that the " rascals did not fight, and only wanted the opportunity of deserting us." This tells enough for the war feeling of the South. It is also certain that Lee was outmanceuvred this time, for they were taken by surprise both at Kellyville and Rappahannock Sta- tion. Just before we attacked the forts on the north side of the river General Lee was over with Colonel Godwin, who was in command, and gave him his instructions. He had the pleasure of seeing from the other side his troops captured, without the possibility of assisting them. THE FIGHT AT RAPPAHANNOCK STATION. The Rappahannock Station is protected by several strong forts. On the north side is a strong fort, two redoubts, and several rifle pits. These were protected by a force of nearly two thousand men and a battery of guns, in command of Col. Godwin, of the Fifty-fourth North Carolina. They were part of Ewell's corps, Early's division. It was about three o'clock when the head of the column neared the station. A heavy line of skirmishers and sharpshooters was thrown out to cover the advance of our batteries. There is a commanding position in the rear of the forts, and here Martin's and the first reserve artillery of heavy guns got into position and opened on the fort. Just before dark the storming parties-- Russell's and Upson's brigades, and led by Gen. Russell in person--wereformed, The fifth corps was now advancing on the centre, and threw out the first division in support of the sixth corps and in order to take upa position lower down the river, so as to cover the advance and cutoff the enemy's retreat that way. The batteries now opened fiercely and desperately on one another. Shot and shell flew like hail across the river, sweeping through the forts on both sides. The storm- ing party, comprising the sixth Maine, the fifth Wisconsin, and the fourteenth New York, now rushed on the forts, while a strong party took possession of the pontoon, thus cutting off the enemy's retreat and their chance of succour. Our troops dashed into the pits and forts on every side, and one of the fiercest hand to hand con- flicts of the war commenced. The troops poured one fierce volley along the forts. The assailants actually grasped the bayonets of the defenders. As friend and foe were promiscuously mixed together, the batteries of both sides ceased, and the ringing cheers and shouts and death groans rung above the sound of musketry. Men grappled one another in their death struggles, some fight- ing with their clubbed muskets, others with their fists. The fierce and savage conflict continued for about twenty minutes ; but our supports were pouring in from every side, and the enemy, finding longer resistance useless, surrendered. One wild cheer, one wild huzza, informed Gen. Lee that we were successful, and in a few minutes the Stars and Stripes floated above the trampled pal- metto. Our victory was decisive and no fewer than four Colonels two of them com- manding brigades--one hundred and thirty- two officers and about fifteen hundred men fell into our hands, besides four guns, four cannons and eight battle-fiags. Lee availed himself of the darkness of the night to effect his escape. THE DAY AFTER THE FIGHT. Sunday morning opened with « floating fog, obscuring the atmosphere. The sun rose amidst a golden canopy, its bright rays piercing the forest trees around us, and quivering in a thousand fantastic shapes. Ina few hours the scene changed and a slight shower of rain fell, laying the thick dust. About seven o'clock the troops were in motion, deploying from the different camps in the forest on the north side of Kelly's Ford, where they had bivouacked. As some of the enemy were seen in the woods beyond the plain, the troops were formed in line of battle. Here General Webb addressed his command, informing them of the glorious success of our troops on the previous day, and called for " Three cheers for the Third and Sixth corps," which was loudly responded to the men actually flinging their caps to the air. It being ascertained that these were only strag- glers, the First, Third and Fifth corps de- ployed and formed a junction with the Sixth, near Brandy Station. About nightfall there was a heavy firing towards Culpepper. I understood it was our cavalry driving back the enemy's -pick- ets. The general impression is that the enemy have fallen back te their old position behind the Rapidan. SKIRMISH WITH THE ENEMY NEAR BRANDY STATION About noon they ¢amie upon a force of eavalry and light artillery, posted in line on a hill near the railroad, and two miles east of Brandy Station. The Third division, under General Carr, were in the advance, and Colonel Keifer's brigade of this division, immediately charged upon and soon drove them from their position. This division, with its artillery, followed them leisurely, 4 nflicting severe punishment upon them as they retreated up the railroad to a point two miles beyond Brandy Station. The fighting continued till after dark. The casualties on our side were very light, not exceeding seven or eight wounded. Capt. S.C. Andress, of the One Hundred and Thirty-eight Pennsylvania, was wound- ed, supposed mortally; Sergeant A. G. Rupp, of the One Hundred and Thirty- eight Pennsylvania, had an arm shot off; and Private W. A. McFarland, of the Sec- ond Berdan's Sharpshooters, was shot through both legs, and has since died, These are all the names I can learn. While this was going on, the other corps were scouring the country up the river and owards Stevensburg, but could find only occasional stragglers from the retreating army, which had eyidently left its well-pre- pared winter quarters only a few hours pre- vious. We find the whole country gone over so far filled with camps, many of them with commodious log tents. Prisoners and rebel surgeons left in charge of their wound- ed at Kelly's agree in statements that they were in full expectation of wintering here. General Lee's headquarters were a mile north of Brandy Station. POSITION OF AFFAIRS AT CHATTANOOGA-- A BATTLE IMMINENT. Frim the Charleston Mercury, Nov. 2. We have important news from the armies in front of Chattanooga. A shrewd game is now being played by the enemy for the possession of Lookout Mountain. The an- nouncement of the passage of the river at Bridgeport by a column of Federal troops reveals the long anticipated plot to force Bragg from the mountain by flank move- ments. 'This flanking force of the enemy, when last heard from, was somewhere in the vicinity of Sand Mountain, taking pretty much the same route which Rosecrans took when Bragg, apprehending a flank, evacua- ted Chattnaooga, and fell back to Dalton and Kingston. Should Bragg again fall back, the enemy will quietly take possession of Lookout Mountain, re-open his railroad communication with Middle Tennessee, and settle down into comfortable winter quarters. But, on the other hand, most of the North Carolina papers speak of another great battle as imminent. The Atlanta Intelligencer says :-- Movements are being made that must de- cide which of the combatants shall hold Tennessee, and many days will not elapse before another terrible battle may take lace. For some days Buckner, with a arge body of men, has been steadily moving towards Knoxville, his force being sufficiently strong to remove all apprehen- sion of danger from the enemy in East Tennessee. Should he succceedin driving the enemy from East Tennesee, Kentucky will be open to our victorious army. . The Augusta Constitutionalist of Satur- day says :-- Passengers by the train yesterday even ing bring intelligence of severe fighting on Wednesday night--commencing at mid- night--on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, at the foot of Racoon Mountains. A portion of Hood's division, chiefly Jen- kin's brigade, attacked Sigel's corps in their intrenchments, making three desperate charges, reaching on the last within a few feet of the breastworks. Failing to carry the works, our forces were withdrawn, and returned to their former position. Our loss is variously stated, but is believed to be several hundred in killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy is unknown. Passengers also state that our batteries on Lookout Mountain shelled the works of the ancmy Vi ly on Wednesday, and that the tents of the enemy had disappeared. We have also intelligence which we deem entirely trustworthy, that our forees occupy Loudon, and the advance, under Stephen- son, hag reached Concord, fifteen miles this side of Knoxville. Col. Wallace, of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, has sent to Union Point for more of the rolling stock of his road, which is an encouraging indication of the confidenee in the successful issue of the movement forward. (From the Richmond Despatch, Nov. 5.) THE SITUATION AT CHATTANOOGA. This is a subject of deep anxiety to the whole Confederacy at this movement--the deeper, perhaps, that the late movement of the enemy by the river and his occupation of Racoon Mountain seems neither to have been resisted nor anticipated. It gives him, at the same time, a great advantage, by placing him on our left flank at the moment when our centre and right are occupied with the body of the place itself. The Yankee newspapers say they have assembled 110,- 000 men, and that Bragg's force is only 60,000. We do not believe that this state- ment is correct in any particular. We have no idea that the Yankee force is so large, or that Bragg's is sosmall. Be it however, | as they represent, 60,000 of our men, placed as these are, may very well bid defi- ance to 110,000 Yankees. We have no apprehension whatever of a defeat. The worst that we fear is one of those furious and indecisive battles so character- istic of this war. _We do not believe that any force the Yankees can bring will be able to carry the exceedingly strong position of Gen. Bragg, fortified with so much care and defended by so many brave men as he has with him. It is evident in the mean- time, that a great battle must inevitably be fought in the neighborhood of Lookout, if it has not already occurred. The enemy will make desperate exertions to break through our lines at this point, it being his object to secure possession of the railroad where it runs south of the Tennessee, and thus ren- der it an easy thing to supply Chattenooga with provisions and troops. We wait the event with anxiety, but without apprehen- sion. We have before given an account of the locality of Chattanooga, and here repeat it, that our readers may have a clearer idea of the operations in progress. Just at Chattan- ooga the river makes a bend in the form of a horseshoe, the toe of the shoe pointing south. On this toe, and on the south side of the river, Chattanooga is situated. To the west of it, and at the distance of two miles and a half, is Lookout Mountain, which runs down tothe very river. Along the base of the mountain runs the railroad, which crosses the river about 25 miles be- low. To the west of Lookout Mountain lies Racoon Mountain, and between them lies the Lookout Valley, a creek running through the middle of it. The Yankees, the other night, left Chattanooga in pon- toons, floated down the river, without being hailed by a single sentinel, so far as we can learn, landed, and occupied Racoon Moun- tain almost without resistence. They have thrown bridges across below, and are con- stantly receiving re-inforcements in that di- rection. Hood's brigade, under the com- mand of Gen. Jenkins, tried to dispossess them the other day, but failed. The battle will be fought in the Lookout Valley and its vicinity. The hopes of the country were very high when Rosecrans was first driven back to Chattanooga. tt was believed that he would be so shut up there, and that his supplies would be so effectually cut oft as to render it imperative upon him either to fight Bragg at a great disadvantage, to retreat across a wide river, and a rugged and impracticable country, thereby running the risk of ruin to his whole force, or to surrender. But the exceedingly dilatory movements of our army have lost us all the advantage we had, or believed we had, a few weeks ago. The haye afforded time to the Yankees to mf lect troops from the most distant quarters, to restore their communications at their leisure, and to threaten us with a siege, instead of undergoing one themselves. If Gen. Bragg should be driven from his position, we not only lose East Tennessee entirely, but we open the door for the in- vasion of Georgia, where there is a very large supply of cotton, which formed the main inducemeut of Rosecrans' invasion of that State. It willthus be seen that the most important interests are involved in the operations around Chattanooga. The exis- tence of the Confederacy is not, it is true, exactly involved, but the length of the war undoubtedly is. Could that Yankee army have been destroyed the war would have been virtually at an end. NEW DVERTISEMENTS. WEIGHTS & MEASURES.
