Kilpatrick had oo capu’d Madison Coart House, after hating driven the advance picket of the enen.y three miles, captaring nine and losing one. After having driven the enemy from every road leading from Madison Court Houbs. in the direction of the Rapidan, for two miles, Kilpatrick posted his guards and retted his command. During the night Gen. Baiord, who had commenced a re connoissauce, came on with his division, and also posted his command in and around the village. From prisoners taken the day beloro it ] was ascertained that two brigades of rcbei j cavalry were on this side of the Rapidan along the main road leading from Madison Co-urt Hoase to Gordonsviile. From Mad ison Court House three roads leave for the Rapidiin. General Buford dispatched fcU force so os to surround the enemy and cap ture him without a severe engagement. To accomplish this object he sent Gen. I Kilpatrick to the right ot the (iordonavil'e road, Gen. Devin, commanding the second brigade of his own division, to the left, and t be first bndage, Col. Chapman, down the G t>rdonsville road to make an attack in front and centre. Kilpatrick reached the river, but with out meeting the enemy, bat in order o Gog 1 hinL, sent one tquadron acroPF, bu! few of whom have returned, and they probably wijj not until exchanged as j.rio' oners ot war. With the main portion of hia division he moved down the North bank of the R&ptd&n, nntil hearing rapid bring on the Gordousville road, he gal loped to the aid of Chapman, who Beemed to be wholly engaged. Col. Chapman, whose command consbr.t eQ of the 6th Illinois, 3d and Bib New York, , moved down the Gordonavtlie road, and when within four miles of the Rapidsn he suddenly came in contact with the old biigadea of (lens. Jones and Hampton. Col. Chapman determined to risk an en gagement, trusting to Gen. Buford to come to his aid. PITTcBUROH, PITTSBURGH. A series of brilliant charges were then made, vhich lasted from two o’clock until sunset. Chapman whipped these old rebel brigades, killed between forty and fifty, and captnred seventy-five prisoners, among thorn several officers, one Lieuten ant Colonel, one Major, and. several Cap tains and Lieutenants, the rest flying at the highest speed to the south bank of the Kapidan. Gen. Kilpatrick, who came up in the rear of this flying force, is said to have captured about fifty men before they reached the river. On the left, Gen, De vins was equally successful. The object for which the reconnoUsanee was made having been successfully accomplished, Gen. Buford returned. He met the old brigade of Gen. Lee, fouphtthem for'two hours, and killed and wounded between thirty and forty and brought away sixty prisoners. In all ol these severe hgbtß our loss was comparatively small.
