the belligerents are entitled to the military
protection of the occupying forces, but while
entitled to such protection they incur very se
rious obligations.
Obligations q diff4ing in soma degree, from
those of civil allegiance,•-but equally binding.
For example, those who rise in arms against
the authority established by the same, are Reb
els or military traitors, and incur the penalty
of death. They are not entitled to be called
prisoners of war, when captured; their p'rciper
ty is subject to military seizure and - military
confiscation. • •
Military treason of this kind is broadly dis-
tinguished from the treason defined in the :con=
stitutional and•statuary laws and dade 'punish

military offence - punishable,: by , • the; CoMmou
laws of war. Again.; persons belonging•: to

A. short distance, from the' shore General
Aver!ill's command encountered the Rebel cav;

who, had hastened from Culpepper to prevent
our passage. They made some dashing , cbarges
upon our troops, who repulsed, and' in tuft

only in the' conflict. Whenever, the Rebels'
made a, stand they were immediately charged
upon. and routed from, their position with se

The battle,lasted about. five, hours, andovas
a series of charges and hand-to-hand conflicts,
resulting in the enemy ,falling- back. The
force engaged was about two; thousand on each
side. The enemy at last took: refuge ,behind
an intrenched battery, about four miles from
the ford, flanked by rifle-pits and abatis.—
General Averill having accomplished his ob
ject, and securing his prisoners, the wounded
on both sides, and a large number of horses,
he recrossed the river without attack or demon

so badly whipped that they could Dot follow to
