New Market, Va., May 7.—Yesterday afternoon a detachment of the 9th New York cavalry made a reconnoissance to Harrisburg. When five miles this side they encountered upwards of 200 of Ashby’s cavalry. They charged upon them and pursued them within two miles of the town. Ten rebels were killed and six token prisoners. Our loss was one killed and a battalion adjutant taken prisoner. The work on our side was done with the sabre, and was a very gallant affair.
An officer from Mount Jackson, this morning, says the guard at the bridge, near that town, reports that the guerrilla cavalry attempted last night to burn the bridge, but were repulsed
New York, May 7,—Private advices state that General Banks’s army was still at Newmarket, awaiting forage and provisions.
