the large walnut tree near the spot, and a
feast was given to the force employed on the
work, and to the citizens and soldiers gener

Calloway. After the speech. those present
--a large crowd—were invited to partake

arrested at the Bridge, who have generally
turned out to be deserters from our army.

at the bridge arrested three men who gave

For the Co:umbia Spy
Reply to E. P. I.
Mn Erirroti:-1 notice in your "issue" of the
i.:h inst., an article over the initials E. P. 1.,
which for profundity of thought, beauty of
diction and perspicuity of style is scarcely ex
celled by the "Pleading Extraordinary" Of
LitnEETTE BIGELOW PARTINGTON, ESQ., and is
as coherent and logical as the speech of .Bisz
fuz in the case of BARDELL versus Picawicx.,
The grammar of the article demonstrates
the writer's fitness to criticise "parrot instruc
tors with a simple no.knowledge of arithme
tic," and "educational (not min) boards," "un
educated men who know not the wants of your
children," and entitles him to "a chair in your
school," i. e. as a pupil.
1 he article opens with blunders and closes
with absurdities, for how can "interest cluster
Amin thelietler TII/NGS of the heart," or pa
rents "give MINDS to their children," even as
Now Year's gifts.
He calls the Cherry Street School House
"truly a most noble monument." .I. am unable
to find out what event it commemorates, un
less it is some "tradition orally or otherwise
which carries us back to the tune when Para
dise (mirabile dicta) constituted the world."
may be, however, the writer is a student "of
order, of time, of experience, for" he seems
"to delve into the hidden wonders of dead em
pire, to study the locked-up mystery of hidden
customs and manners of all sleeping greatness,"
and "history has transmitted to his inquiry"
the wonderful revelation that a giant named
Paradise constituted (mint) the world!
How can the symmetry of an edifice "ab
sorb the object of its orrrangement," even in
"a simple rural cabin through which heat and
cold know no restraint?" The arrangement
of the Cherry Street School House is unim
provable and its object is to afford facilities for
the systematic instruction of the youth of Co
lumbia, and how the object can be wasted by
this arrangement can scarcely be explained
even kly "an empowered imparter of instruc
tion in any department in merals, where ignor
ance is chaired WITHIN like grace and elegance,
and where the figure is carried from column
to column or angle WITII angle, not under
standing the causes and but partially compre
hending the effect."
"To hold high culture in the chairs of your
school," use sand paper, paint and varnish,
since "education is equally progressive as mat
ter in its development, lying deep amid all the
phenomena of physical and social WONDER," and
"all nature is but phenomena chained," like
Prometheus bound to the rock, with the vul
ture of bombast (E. P. I.) preying on its life
"directly and indirectly."
The writer contrasts "the heavier philoso
phy" (does he mean Metallurgy?) of this day
"To (with?) the medley beauty of philosphy
of Republics and Empires now passed away,"
where refinement sits enthroned, entwined IN
grace and beauty, tarrotauso him a history of
moral worship, li:rthect from the imagination,.
which to him is a philosophy in itself that cox
' 'SENDS him to bold iv in rnataal adjustment.
Splendid idea! Magnificent thought!! Wonder
ful conception!!! Most grandiloquent nonsense!!!!

sea (?) but a smattering of knowledge that
holds not the flash of the meteor—an imposi

nunciation and is as uncharitable as it is un
warranted. It is true that many teachers
have not enjoyed advantages equal to what E.
P. I: has, but it is equally true that they have
improved them better. Most teachers arc
earnest, zealous men, who labor assidaoasly to
promote the improvement of those entrusted to
their care. It would be as reasonable not to
allow a man to preach unless be is as eloquent
as Whitedeld as to require all the teachers in
our common schools to be as learned and pol
ished as college professors.
Popular education is yet in its infancy, and
must rise above the difficulties with which, in
the nature of things, it has to contend, not by a

A Cavalry Fight at Aldie, Virginia
One of the Sharpest Cavalry Battles of 04
: S.Jrur—Two Brigades of the Rebels Defeat
:id by Gen. Gregg's Advance--Stuart Com
•-manding the Rebels in Person—The Ene
p!;y:Driven Out of arerj/Strong Posifio:n.
Anais,_Wednesdag, June 17,.1803.. _
The advance of Gen. Gregg's cavalry com
mand reached this place at about 2 o'clock
this afternoon, where two brigades of the
enemy, commanded by Gen. Stuart in per
son, were fotind in possession. After three
hours' hard fighting they. :weret_forued-to-re
tire. The fight, while it lasted, was one of
the sharpest that has occurred during the
war, and.as a_conseguence the lose of offi
cers and men on both sides is very heavy.
The enemy's pickets were first encoun
tered a little east of the village by Compan
ies II and M, of the Second New-York (Har
ris Light) cavalry, under the command of
'Lieut. Dan. Whittaker, and were by them
driven through the town back to a ridge of
hills half a mile to the west, extending across
from the Middleburgh and Snicker's Cap
Road, where the rebel force was in position
ready for action. The advance brigude,
under Gen. Kilpatrick, immediately moved
through to the westerly edge of the town.
The First Maine, Colonel Beaty, was sent
off to a point half a mile to the left, and the
Fourth New-York, Colonel Ceenola, to the
right, to support a section of Andrews' bat
tery placed on a rise of ground north of the
Snicker's Gap road. The enemy at this
time occupied the bill, as before stated,
where they had four guns in pos . ition ; a line
of their'skirtnishers occupied a fence on the
eastern slope, and a long ditch, just in front
of which were half a dozen stacks of hay—
thus commanding both Middleburgh and
Snicker's Gap roads. A stronger position
could not well have been selected.
Mien the exact position of the enemy had
been ascertained by drawing their fire, Gen.
Kilpatrick rode up to the Second New-York
(Harris' Light,) and said then was the time
for them to wipe out reflection cast upon
them for their alleged misconduct in the fight
of last week, at Brandy Station. He order
ed them to charge into the valley and secure
the hay-stacks—the ditch or ravine at the
rear of this position had not then been dis
covered. Companies H and M, accompanied
by Lieuts. Whittaker, Raymond, Martin
son, Homan and Stuart, moved off down the
Middleburg road, the fence to the right was
quickly thrown down, and with a dash, this
forlorn-hope rushed up to the bay-stneks.—
For the first time their fire was opened from
the ditch a little to the rear of the hay.stacks:
This was filled with rebel cavalry—many of
them armed with rifles. Capt. Grintar, with
Lieutenants Mattison and Shafer, and Com
pany K, dashed up immediately 'to the sup
port of these companies, F, 1, D and G, went
to the right up the Snicker's Gap road a
piece, turned to the left, crossed the field,
and reached the scene of conflict in time to
take an active part. The contest for twenty
minutes at this point was about ns spirited
a scene as is often witnessed on a battle
field. The Sixth Ohio, Major Steadman,
was sent up the road to the left to support
the Harris Light, when the whole command
with the Major at its head, dashed into the
fight just in time to decide the unequal con.
test. The rebels were forced to abandon
their position, and all who were not killed
or captured fled precipitately up the
They made a short stand behind the fence,
when a dash from a battalion of the Fourth
New-York, called in from its position be
hind the battery, together with the other
regiments alreasly named, drove them pelf
mell over the bill.
The First Maine, at about this time, was

Massachusetts, stationed on the Snicker's
Gap road, to a position held by the Second
Battery of the Fourth New York. The reb
els, at this time charged down the same road
and drove before them a squadron, when
General Kilpatrick ordered the First Maine,
Colonel Douty, First Massachusetts, Lieut.-
Col. Curtis, and a battalion of the Fourth
New York, under Col, Gesso°la, to charge
up the road. There was a little hesitancy
at first, when Gen. Kilpatrick, accompanied
by Cul. Douty, of the First Maine, and Capt.
Costar, of Gen. Pleasanton's Staff, went to
the front and called the troops to follow.—
Tbe Maine boys gave three cheers for Gon.
Kilpatrick, and the whole column made a
dash up the road in the face of a terrible
fire from carbines, rilleswnd cannon, sweep.

ended the fight. The rebels, after a little
more skirmishing, fell back, and our forces
tonight occupy their position.

Brigadier General S. Williams :
GENERAL : I moved with my comm a nd this
morning to Middleburg, and attacked the
cavalry of the rebels, under Stuart, and
steadily drove him all day, inflicting a heavy'
loitr at every step.
I drove him through Upperville into Ash-,
by's Gap. We took two pieoes'of artillery
(one-being •Blakely gun), and three cais
sons, besides blotring up one; also, upwards
of sixty prisoners, and more are coming in.
A Lieutenant' Colonel, a Major, and five '
other officers,' besides a wounded Colodel
and a large number of wounded rebeli,
were left in the town of Upperville. ' They
left their dead and wounded lapon,the
Of the former I saw upwards of twenty.
We also took a number; of carbines, pistols
and sabres. •
In fact, it was a' most . disastrouir day to
the rebel cavalry. ' '- 4
Oar loss bet been very small both in men
and horses.' I never saw the troops betimes
better or under more difficult circumstances.
Very heavy charges were made and die as-•

Juno 23 . 1863. '
General Pleasanton had the greatest cav
alry fight, on the 21st, that has yet taken
place. Early on Sunday ' morning be ad
vanced on the enemy at ;t: point beyond Mid
dleburg, being supported by General Barre'e
division of infantry. lifilit-ensned' which.
was kept up all_ day , Stuart being driven,
iiith - hetivy loss, clear into Ash
by's Gap, beyond Upperville, a distance of
twelve miles.
General Pleasanton captured two guns,
ono a Blakely, three caissons, and blew Up
another caisson ; also,
„upwards of a hun
dred prisoners, including one Lieutenant
Colonel, one Major and five other officers.—
The enemy left - their dead and - wounded on
the field, and in the town of Upperville a
large number of wounded rebels were found.
General Pleasanton describes it as a most
disastrous day to the rebel cavalry. Our
cavalry behaved with the greatest intrepid
ity, and, as usual, did great execution with
the sabre.
Stuart has fortified Ashby's Gap with
artillery, and will probably hold it against
our advance. Considering the " extensive
nature of the fight our loss is light, and will
not exceed in killed, wounded and missing
one hundred and seventy.five.
The enemy left a ten-pound Parrott gun
carriage on the field. They probably threw
the gun into Goose creek after it was dis
mounted.
Two rebel Colonels are known to have
been killed. Col. Vincent's infantry brig
ade (Butterfield's old brigade) was aetively
engaged and behaved with great courage.
Gen. Buford's cavalry column opened on
the right, and successfully drove a large
force of the enemy before them, capturing a
number of prisoners, including two Lieuten
ant Colonels.
The cavalry justly feel gleeful over their
large exploits, and the infautry partake of
the same spirit, and are now ready to back
up their achievements.
Four hundred wagon loads of wounded
are reported by the citizens to have been
taken through the Gap. This is believed to
be an exaggeration.

Numerous arrests have been made to-day,

but on their cases being investigated, most
of them proved to be refugees.
