ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
THE CAVALRY BATTLE.
In, bivouac- atßealeton, on the Orange and Alex- -
andria Railroad, the correapondent of the 'glass'
gives an interesting account of Ple.sianton , s htbttle
'with- Stuart's cavalry, near Beverly's - Foe & and
Brandy Station. The letter, from , which we - ex
tract, is dated Sone 1, • The object of the-reconnois
sance on Friday last was, in addition to , aseerfairt- -
ing the enemy's position, to remain as a diversion,
while the 'cavalry force were to altacktne
threatening masa of cavalry Opp,ositeon our ex
treme right dank. *-.
TILE FORCE AND PLAN.
" Saturday evening the composition of the force
was de-termined upon, and'all the cavalry that could
be made immediately available was detailed for the
work under command-of-,Gen.-Pleasanton, (Gem
Stoneman having been relieved,).assiated by Gene.
Buford and Gregg, and Col. pude, as subordinate
commanders. In addition, two small brigadesilpf
picked infantry, under Gem Ames, of the - 11th corps,
and Gen: Russell, of the . 6th Corps, were'detailid
to accompany, the. 'expedition.' As detailof ctrtillbiy
was made in the proportion of one batters(to'eadli
brigade, the horse-battery, ,with the cavalry, being
in charge of Captain Robertson, chief' of artillery
on Gen. Pleasanton's staff.: _ ' -
The force, when completed, did not, - byseveral
thousand, reach the reported number of; the enemY,
from twelve to fifteen thousand ; but then, as far a's
cavalrywas concerned, we sent all that
_could -be
apared, and, so far as infantry was concernecii• - the
'sequel proved that- fully as much was sent as'could
be used to advantage. And then there was a strong
supposition that the force of the enemy had been-ex
aggerated.
- General .Pleasanton'aearalry rendezvoused during - ?'
Saturday and Sunday.at Catlett's Station and War
renton Junction, getting supplies of:forage and food
from both places, by the Orange and Alexandria rail
road. Gem Ames' infantry mewed , Saturday eve
ning to the Spotted Tavern, and on Sunday to near
13ealeton Station. Geia. Russell's brigade moved
on Sunday to Millwood Church, and on Monday to
Kelly's Ford. The plan was to rendezvOua the coin..
mend at the two points-on - the - Rappahannock—Be 7
verly 's Ford on the right, and Kelly's Ford on the.
left 7 the two being six miles apart, and then move
the column forward toward Culpeper, on roads con- .
verging at Brandy Station, where a junction -of the
forces was to be formed, or-sooner, if necessary.
THE FIGHT NEAR BEVERLY'S FORD—.
.-
DEATH OF COL DAVIS.
At dawn of Tuesday, the right column under Gen. ' .
Buford was in motion. Our cavalry soon reaCherP
the river, dashed in, dashed up the_ bank, - and were.
well on the opposite side 'before the rebels: in'
their fertifications were aware of their presence.
The suddenness of the movement completely sur
prised them, and they at once broke for the first:
friendly timber, which was about one-fourth of
a mile in their rear. Our cavalry followed - ,
rapidly, and in these woods the first severe'
skirmish occurred, in which we speedily lost:
one of the most valued officers of the command, Col.
B. F. Davis, of the Bth New. York Cavalry, and
captain in the let Regular Cavalry, and the 'same
gallant officer who led the gallant charge out of Har
per's Ferry last fall, and captured Longetreetis -am
munition train. When the rebels, who were die
mounted, reached the woods, they began to skirmish,
and detained our force there long enough to give the
alarm to Jones' brigade, they being encamped just
beyond in the outer edge of the woods. Though their
'horses were grazing in the fields, yet they; speedily
fell in, and in a very short time two or three 'squa
drons came charging down the road and through the
timber. - Hurling, their force -upon' the Bth New
York, they broke it and forced it back; and killed
and wounded quite anumber. Col. Davis, who was
gallantiy !eliding the advance, turned to rally them,-
and, waving his sword to the Bth Illinois, shouted,
"Come on, boysl" when a - rebel rode out in front of
him, and fired three shots from his pistol at hisn; the
last one taking effect in his forehead, and, inflicting .
a: mortal wound. Quick 'as thought, Lieutenant
Paraons, acting A. A. General to Colonel t payis,
was at the side of the rebel, and,- rising in his stir.:
info, with one well-directed blow of his sabre he
laid his head open midway between eyes and. chin, .
and the wretch fell dead in the dust at his horse's
feet. Parsons is bnr ;I , outh ; his- ariversarvii

Ames also, brought his infantry over, and deployed
theta on the left of the - road. as skirmishers, and
then pushed them out inlinenf battle to the!edge of
the woods in front of-which the enemy was drawn
up by. squadrons, with aitillery at the interyals,
which omitted no opportunityrto shell everythingp
eight that had motion to it. Thias far the enetey ,
eveidently had but one brigade at hand, and a few'
prisoners taken said they belonged to the 6th, 71,h,
and 12th Virginia Cavalry, of General Jones' bri
grade. When asked if he was " Jonee,the guerillar
they indignantly denied the imputation. Neverthe
less; - he- was. General Pleasanton new directed.
General-Buford to-make preparations.to charge this
force in the flank, while the infantry andartillery
engaged
_it in front. It was desirable to do this as
soon as possible, as the enemy might be getting re
inforcements at any moment.
SPLENDID CHARGE OF THE.PHNNSYL.
VANIANS.
Gen. Buford having driven the enemy's pickets
and skirmishers in the open fields on the rightof the
3
.
road rent in the 6th Pennsylvania, supported by the
sth and 6th Regulars, to charge this line on the
flank. The Pennsylvanians came up to. their WOOL
in splendid style. This is the regiment formerly
known as the “Lancers,” and they had a matter of
pride to settle in this charge. Steadily and gallant- -
ly they advanced out of the . woods,. in excellent
Order, and then dashed across the. open field in an
oblique direction-towards the enemy's guns. They
went up almost to their, very mnzzle, through a.
storm of canister and shell, and would have taken
them, when suddenly there dashed out of the woode
on their right tank, in almost the very spot from
which they themselves had issued, two, whole rep 7
ments of the enemy,. on 'the full charge. Retreat
was almost cut off, but the regiments, now subjected
to a fire in front, and on both flanks, charged back, :
cutting their way out with considerable less. Tice
6th Regulars came to the'rescne,4aut the fire Wasao .
severe that even these veterans could not stand it,.
,
and they fell back with some loss..ln this charge
we lost about the only prisoners captured by, the
enemy during the 'day. Major Morris; of the 6th
Pennsylvania, was seen to fall from his horse, and is
probably wounded and a prisoner. Captain Davis,
of the same regiment, was killed. Captain Leiper
was wounded, and Major Hazeltine had his horse
shot under him, Captain Dahlgren, of General
Hooker's staff; a model of cool and:dauntless
bravery,:charged with the regiments, and his horse
was shot in two places. He describes the charge at
one of the finest of the war. . , .
GEN . GREGG'S COLIJMN-ITHE .REBELS
At this stage of the engagement, General Pleasan-
ton plainly saw that the division under. General
Buford was far outnumbered, , and much anxiety
Was expreesekl to hear from General Gregg, whose
eoluinn was .considerably stronger thin Buford's.
Word hid been .received from him at 8 o'clock, sap:
ing that he had crossed with scarce any opposition,
and that he.was driving the eneniy.before himfbut but.
bis guns had not, yet been heard. About 1 o'olodk
,
Buford again began to press the enemy, and this'
time 'he -showed evident signs: of uneasiness, and
soon Withdre* -his force' front our right :flank
' as though' he had a fire in the rear. About-the
,
seine time we heard Gregg's guns, and some pri, -
goners taken from Robinson's North Carolina ha
gade-juat then reported Gen. Russel's infantry ad
vancingthrough the woods' 'on their right`think
, ._
and rear. Gen. Gregg, from the sound of-the firing,
was evidently in -the vicinity .of Brandy Station.
Pleasanton' now pushed forward, but the rebele sonti..
gave way, and fell beck rapidly. They were in a bad
predicament—for Gregg was almost directly in their
rear, Russel was on their right flank, and:Buford
on their frent. They therefore made a hasty re
treat,
,abandoning their old camp entirely, part
of which we had already occupied/arid two, regi
ments were very-nearly being aut, off, as Kilpatrick,
moved off toward the right, ,to make connection"
with Buford. Thep , had but a narrow strip of
land, not covered b3r / Mir force, - through which to
eactip : e: In the charges by General Gregg's column,
a'stand of colors and over one hundred and fifty
prisoners were taken. Colonel Wyndhani's brigade
. .
captured the heights 'commanding Brandy Station,
and there discovered rebel infantry being , brought
up by ; the, care. A portion of it drew up' ' and fried .a
volley at our cavalry., Colonel Wyndhalll. WAS - abet'
tbrongh thecalf of the leg by rrhushwacker, but his
wound is not serious, and he still keeps the saddle.`'
1 'While a junction Was being effected With Gregg's
column on the left, Buford and Ames were pushing
out on the right, and with Vincent's battery, Buford
. •
had, by two o'clock, carried all the crests occupied
by the enemy (hiring the forenoon, and had forced
him back over three: miles from the river. - .4;:.....
' . RETIREIVLENTL-LOSSES. ,
The fact that' 'thei - :: eneiny were noirfe.lling back'
upon strong infantry supports, and we - being already, :
numerically inferior.to them, induced Gen. Pleasan-
ton to consult with his eubordinatesi and it having , -
- been left - discretionary with the. former to-advance
or return, :it ,was finally deemed prudent to return,'
'and at four' o'clock our forces bega&frilling back.,

OrriclzirsAlq, June lA.—There is. no later news
from Vicksburg. From correspondence of May 31,
we extract the .following : . ,
A FLAG OF TRUCE,
The day alter the Jest engagement the rebeishent
in a flag nf truce to ask permission_to bury their
dead. They really wanted permission to bury a lot
of mules and horaes, killed. by our artillery on the.
22d, from the carcasses ofiwhich amiador was arising
net at all, pleasant to the Confederate nostrils. A
cessation of hostilities for a• number of hours was
agreed-upon, and the rebels availed themselves of it
to render their beleaguered metropolis more whole
serneby the removal of the offensivematter aforemen
tioned. The officers who accompanied. the flag from.
Pemberton's headquarters were ajolly,good-humored
set. Two of them were recognized by officers.of the
let Regulars as old army acquaintances. They were
treated by our men with - so much kindness and cor
diality that. shortly before the termination of the
truce they. mere hardly conscious on which side - of
the ditch they belonged, and had to be assisted to
vault into their meddles to ride homeward. A nephew
of the rebel Secretary . of the Treasury, Major Mem
'ranger,- was p
of the arty. He represented him
self as Pemberton's assistant' adjutant general.
A Major Montgomery, formerly of ..the regu
lar army, was another of the group. One of.
our officers jokingly remarked to them, that as - they
were short of provisions they (the Confederate staff
officers) had better come into.our Tines; under a flag
of truce, every day, to; get dinner, and return. The
rebels were surprised to hear ouch an opinion of
their commissary department, and, instead of accept
ing an invitatiomon.such grounds, extended a simi
lar one to their Federal friends, promising them an
extensive bill of_fire, of which boiled mutton, roast
larab,-roast beef, and every: vegetable of the season,
should form a part. . •
A BLUNDER SOMEWHERE.
Has any great military movement been made by
the Federal. army. since the commencement of the
war, where the died has net been marred in.
whole or in part by a blunder of chiefs or
_surbordi
natesl The exceptions`have been few. It is now
stated that, if General Grant's plans of the battlaof
Champion Hills:had been carried out by his subor
dinates, we Would - have been in Vicksburg to-day.
It will be iemeinbered that, in that battle, General
Logan's division of McPherson's lborps was on the
right, Hovey and;.Quinby, in the centre, and Carr
on the left. The. fighting was •done by Hovey,
Quinby, and Logan-=Hovey sustaining the brunt of
the - battle, - as his very heavy' loss—one-third of
his coramand—abundantly proves;-' , Oll the extreme
left was the division;of General A. Jt Smith. Oster , haui' division was on hid right. Logan pressed
them heavily on the right, and IScive"Y and Quinby
drove them back in the centre. Smith and Oster
haus `should have -swung' round and 'got In. their
rear, reaching Edwards' Station head of -them,
and cutting of their retreat entirely. This would
have insured Vielreburg, and saved us the dis
asitrous assault of tbe,22d. I have good authority
,for saying that Grant's - orders were. to move as
`haie 'indicated ; but Larrinot positive that Oster
bans italanieable in the matter. I only know that
Smith held the 'extreme left, and was expected to
get into the rebel rear between, Champion Hills and
Edwards'. Station. General Grant has ordered an
inves tigatiore.and told that it is now in_piOZ.

LAITZ F.P.OVIVEN - CE, tit . , 26th Bth month, 1863
I have been withholding my letter hour to hour
since my return from Vickahurg that I might chroni
cle its fall into our hands - the moment the glad ti
dings were received here, but the shaking-of my
windbws. from the' concussion , and 'the - continued'
booming of the mortars - plainly tell me that the
siege is still in progress. -
The very latest intelligence we hare from our army
is that General Grant has% commenced entrenching,
he being-of the-opinion that the rebel defences -ire
too strong to be taken by assault. Our forces on the
right, under Sherman, have repeatedly charged the
works with immense loss and' little success ; and'as
our lines completely enclose the city, cutting off
every, avenue of escape or reinforcement of the:ene
my, why, a short, watchful, and quiet spell will do
our boys-a benefit, and soon produce a consternation
and collapse in the bellies of the rebels.-
You know in my last letter I expressed a wish
that some of your readers might accompany me to
the scene of operations. On my arrival at Young's
Point, La., more than ever, did I wish it. We ran
down until we were in plain eight of the - mortars
(six ), Jthrn which a constant- shower of shells have
for some six or seven days been dropping and burst
ing in and- over the - town. This night's bombard
ment was one of the grandest sights I have :ever
witnessed, as seen from the stern of our. steamer.
Never can I forget it. A sudden flash of crimson
light, for an instant touching and castings glow on
everything between water and 'sky, reminding one
of the flashing of the sheet-lightning, as sometimes
OMITS at the close of our Northern sultry summer
days. Six or seven seconds elapse, and we are con
vinced, however, that it is not quite so harmless,
for a dull, heavy roar, equal in volume'to a roll of
the heaviest thunder, follows. Then comes a whiz
zing, rushing:sound, to have the faintest conception
of which you should at some time during your life
have heard a portable saw-mill travelling through the
air at the rate of about twelve miles a minute? Every
few minutes did these flashes throw a glare over the
heavens, and was this indescribable noise repeated,
and high up in the air, shooting at an angle of about
forty degreea,could be seen a little speck of golden
flame—the burning fuse of the shell-sailingthrongh
the heavens until it reaches its zenith, which,
to us, appears directly above the fated city. For
an instant this fitful littlelight seems poised in the
air, then, commencing the parabolic curve which it
describes, it descends, bursting anon high in the air,
but frequently deicending to the very housetops,
and often descending to the esirth, ere the burning
fuse reaches the inner- chamber of the deadly and
destructive missile ; then another flash and gleam
of fierce red light, which would reveal to us, miles
away, the dark, grim, fear-stricken visages of the
garrison, did not the flash from the muzzle of the
mortar warn them of the unwelcome visit o 4 a 13-
inch shell, and for safety, compel them to "hunt
their holes."
The phrase is in this instance very applicable, for
it-is said that every inhabitant of this• doomed city
has, the cellars and sheltered places, excavated a
place in the ground.for refuee from the impending
destruction. Even the wit and beauty, whbfornierly
paraded the streets, and unconcernedly did their
visiting and•shopping during the previous bombard
ment (vide Vicksburg paper) are now fain to hide
their linen and good looks in' a hole in the ground!
During the afternoon of. the- 23d inst.,.our forces
had approached so near to the rebel lines on the
northern .side of the city that the fight on the part
of the Confederates could be plainly'seen, and the
smokefrom the national guns hung in festoons over
the hills. The musketry rolled incessantly.from 2
P. M. until 9 in the evening, and though our gallant
soldiers, with a determination and fortitude beyotial
a parallel in the histoly
_the wi
charged the works t"
to stand out of
ide. It as grand. an g,
range of the Shells and balls and see this i contest be 3
tiveen earth and iron ; but though firing during four
h re iviih the most astonishing fur r y!, the gunboats
think.
fad of my powerful field glass our shells could be
seen to burst directly over and in their works. It
has- been frequently said by. the knowing ones
that the rebels. at - Vicksburg
." had very few pieces
of heavy artillery and a scarcity of ammunition for
what they had? , Could any. of them.• have been
with me in plain sight of the hills and seen the posi--
'ition of gun s of the heaviest calibre, revealed by the
`Bashes of fierce and puffs of smoke' from every
available spot, they would be convinced that we
have more to do than to, walk quiety into .the city
and take possession.
My - regiment nuMbers,lthrs morning, eight hun
dred and sixty-four men; aria' is to-dayi after forty
days , work,

one.half the white regiments which have
been in-the-service for the last eighteen months !
They have once been under fire, and, not a man fal
tered, or shirked hie duties in the slightest particu
lar;' and the lesson they administered to the rebels
of the 3d Louisiana regiment, on Bayou Mason,
some twelve miles from here, has had the effect of
ridding Us, for. a time at least, of a gang of rascals
who have carried on, during the last three months,
a regular system of guerilla warfare as annoying as
it is dangerous.
Elsewhere, as well as here, has their record as
soldiers been good and bright. In the field they
have shown lig
themselves as brave as the bravest ;.no
,j.nstarice of ill conduct has come to ht ; while on
the other hand the obedience and -!Cheerful
willing
ness, and heroism,
under all circumstances, augur
Well for:the. futurehiatory of tke race.
The recent proclamation of Self. Davis in regard
to hanging and -making slaves of the unfortunate
officers of these regiments (if caught, of '
course,)
has only the effect of giving us a text for many a
joke. If he could, for an hour or, so, bewith us„. and
see how quietly and calmly:we takehis profesgions
and goodness of, heart, .I believe he.would be put to
shame Ifs has just learned that we have at last
invented, and intend using at all hazards, an engine
of war against his already crippled and shattered
forces, which will not only affect his armies in the'
field, but its direful consequences will reach almost
every household in the Confederacy.

NOW Yana, June In, 1863,
At this dull season, diurnal events in the metropo
lis are neither• essentially novel or systematically
sensational, and very - fat men, who - stand in fear of
a feverish and enraged therinometer; are already
casting abstracted glances at the brandy-and-water
ing places; in feeble desperation. Indeed, - the siren
mer ezress of eitiiens has already . commenced; Itlr.
and Mrs. rotipluir have Stuffed their insatiable
trunks to repletion and threaten Saratogaand New

,immediate Vicinage ,are,: closely;invested by that"
misguided class of individitals who do not scruple to

In - view of facts like these, nothing Savo a risels,

in the blood of age." The sUbscriber has gazed vi=
gorously about him' for some excitingitem to csm

growing in the public thoroughfares, from which he
might predict a , commercial stagnation and panic;
some sentence . in Ben *rood's Daily Niura„ happily

reasonable advancement in educational interests;
but he has looked in vain!: In-the course of his

A NEW LITERARY CURIOSITY;
not mentioned by Disraeli or Soane ;-a new defini,•
tion of an everyday phrase, which Doctor Johnson,
in the wildest vagaries of his contra-dictionary spirit,
never dreamed of.'
The Cotton Famine in Englapd has - long • been a•
subject '.of absorhing interest hoth to the politician,
for the influence it might possibly exert upon the
question of our blockade, and the.citizen, for the
poverty'which resulted from it, and the sufferings of
'the Lancashire operatives - appealing to his warmest
and most human sympathies. Famine, , hoWever,
has, through existing circumstrincesi'iained . a new'
significance—or rather ineignifioance—and hence
forth;aecording to Mr. Bull, must be understood as
indicating a repletion of supplies, rather than a de
pletion. For ""many months scarcely - one Anglo-
American steamer • has arrived at this port without
a cargo of the precious staple for whieh the Lion
has been bellowing so bellicosely, and "the lack of
which has brought the gaunt wolf to the doors of
many. This fact .gives-us a fresh and pleasing in-
sight into the character of our Eeonine neighbor,
and seems to unfold what might be considered as a
faint• indication that a little extra premium has an
agricultural value never before suspected. The sub
scriber frankly. admite that the dullness of his per
ceptions prevents-him from taking any just'or ami
cable view of this famine, and that, with a fear of
Mattel and Puffendorf before his eyes,-he regrets his
inability to understand why such a famine can afford
England a proper apology for raising our blockade:

pass along the docks to appreciate thadepressing
results of piratical ravages upon the high seas.
Long lines of masts mark - the wharves ; of ' vessels

the Alabama, and Florida ; and one is apt to lose
his temper over the sight of these towering mer
chantmen, once the envy of the world, and now rock

It aeons fearfully strange to think of ships whose,
sails but a few years, ago whitened the European.
seas, now bringing coal from Baltimore or George
town, instead of wines from . Lisbon, or silken fabrics
from - Marseilles. in reality, freights for American
bottomi are things of the past, and England, who
sent out the Alabama against us, is reaping the full
benefit of what was either her blAndering stupidity
or open perfidy. Already, the Cunard Line de

THE EDITORIAL CAUCUS,
having for its, object a public expression of editorial
ideas regarding the vital rights of .the press, was
held on Monday. The general tone of the resolu

of the Copperhead representatives present engaged
in silly quibbles as to certain phrases, and exhibited
a' decided repugnance to that clausewhich tacitly
admits the right of a general to exclude treasonable
and seditious sheets from his lines. At the Neak

A FOolisll Scheme of MUrder.
Harmon W. Beecher, alias Zenas Curtis, was yes
terday afternoon arraigned atithe Police- Court, be
fore Justice Dowling, charged with an attempt to, :
murder Borden W. Plumb, a diamond broker, at 612:
Broadway. The facts, which have been already pub
lished at length, were reiterated on this trial, and
may be briefly thus recapitulated:
The prisoner, Beecher, was staying at Powers'
Hotel about two weeks ago, and there met one
George..W. Howard. He proposed to, the latter a
plan by which they could gain a large amount of
money by only murdering a man: Howard appeared
to lean favorably toward the scheme, and learned
that the intended victim was Mr. Plumb, just
named., The plan was this : Beecher was to induce
Plumb to display as larg,:a stock of diamonds as„,
possible, and, atthe appointed moment, was to blind ,
him with snuff,.while his accomplice; Howard, was
to enter, knock the broker on the head, and aid in
securing the plunder. If they- were cauht.in the
tte u mpt, they were to saw thei r way out g of, prison
with implements provided and secreted cm_their -
persona. -
- When Howard had learned enough of the plot, :he
unfolded it to '.the proper authorities. The result
was, that Beecher was led on to,the day for the con-.
summation of his villainy; thebroker being put, on
his guard. At the right moment the prisoner was
rested. The whole plan was foolish in the ex
tlF me; and must have-failed of success, though a ter
rible mime might have been committed before de
tection fell oi`the perpetrators.--Tvening Post, June

The Condittoh of the Streets:
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: On looking over your valuable sheet thin"
morning, many of our `neighborshave come to the
conclusion that a wrong has been done our City Con
troller. tour reporter nips: "If the streets were to
be neglected during this season of the year, for one
Week, frightful diseases might make their appear
ance." Now, sir, as citizens and representatives of
many who request this communication, we will say
that the above lines of your reporter reflect on the
Controller, when you should praise him for his step.
Front street, sir, from AlmondtoWashington street,
is in the filthiest condition imaginable; not a brush
has touched the street for months ; more particu
larly between Catharine and Almond; and if it is let
alone long, we may have disease sure enough. It is
the same with many other streets in the city. Wish
ing that your reporter, or any of our fellow-citizens,
may satisfy themselves of our assertion, we invite
them to visit the locality pointed out. The stench
arising from the gutters above Catharine street is so
abominable that many who have traversed the street
that way have now to go by Second street.
