Ball (search for this): article 1
eception. On Sunday a cavalry skirmish occurred some miles above the town, at a ford on the Rappahannock river, the enemy sustaining a repulse, without any casualties on our side. Yesterday morning they again advanced, and were met by our cavalry near the town, and a second time repulsed. In this fight we had one killed and three wounded. If the force of the enemy is as large as represented our forces there will doubtless be compelled to evacuate the place, unless early assistance should reach them. Col. Ball, of the 15th Virginia cavalry, is in command of the post. Our informant states that when he left Fredericksburg Falmouth (nearly opposite) was in possession of the enemy. The stock of cotton and tobacco stored in Fredericksburg was burned during the day yesterday by our troops. P. S.--Since the above was written we learn, on good authority, that the enemy entered Fredericksburg yesterday with two regiments. A skirmish occurred with our troops, who fell back.

Rappahannock (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
Yankees advancing on Fredericksburg. From a gentleman who left Fredericksburg yesterday we learn that a heavy force of the enemy was advancing on that town, and that preparations were making by our forces there to give them a warm reception.

Stuart (search for this): article 2
From Northern Virginia. The reports from the Valley which reached us Monday evening represent everything as quiet in that section, the enemy having apparently yielded the possession of the country to our troops, whose picket lines extend to Charlestown and Martinsburg. A body of prisoners, one hundred and ten in number, were brought down on the train yesterday afternoon. They were captured in an engagement at Snicker's Ferry in the early part of last week. The number captured was 113, two of whom were left at Strasburg sick, and a Captain who was paroled at Staunton. Advices from Gordonsville state that General Stuart is daily skirmishing with the enemy along the line of the Rappahannock. No general engagement, however, is likely to occur at an early day.

Franklin (search for this): article 3
From the South side. On Thursday evening last a Yankee force, supposed to embrace several thousand, advanced to Blackwater ford, and, after driving back the Confederate pickets, took possession of the ford, which they held until early Friday morning. This ford is about fourteen miles from Franklin and eight from Ivor station. On Thursday morning early a detachment of Southern troops made a brilliant and successful attack upon an encampment of the enemy in the vicinity of Suffolk. Such was the suddenness and vigor of the assault that the Yankees, apprehending the presence of a large Confederate force, fled precipitately, and were pursued to the limits of the town of Suffolk. In this attack the enemy had eleven killed and several wounded.--Our force engaged in this assault consisted of but one hundred and ten men. The enemy again advanced to Blackwater bridge on Friday, and made an attack upon our pickets at that point. On hearing of their approach a mounted regiment, unde

The enemy again advanced to Blackwater bridge on Friday, and made an attack upon our pickets at that point. On hearing of their approach a mounted regiment, under Col. Claiborne and Lt.-Col Taliaferro, hurried to meet them; but as soon as the enemy saw the regiment, they hastily retired in the direction of Zuni. Here they were engaged by our pickets, who held them in check until a portion of the regiment arrived, when a skirmish occurred in which they lost some fifteen killed and wounded. One company admitted a loss of six. It is believed they made their way back to Suffolk.
